You can't build a city, you'll end with something not entirely livable and very boring.
USSR did this with cities like Tolyatti and Magnitogorsk.
You can convince Soviet serfs to live in one but not to-be employees of megacorps.
- jacobush 11y agoThis sounded plausible until you came to "megacorps". They are not very much different from the Soviet state
- ptaipale 11y agoI think they are very very much different, in fact so different that the comparison is a bit of an insult to the millions of people killed by the Soviet state (its own citizens as well as others).
- troels 11y agoBrasilia did better
- DrScump 11y agoA national capital is an exception, not the rule.
- WildUtah 11y agoEveryone who has to live in it hates Brasilia. You can force people to live there because it's a powerful capital city, but it's still awful.
- marcosdumay 11y agoSorry to break it, but mostly people do like here (I know, because I don't - I'd much rather life at some smaller city). Some come from a coastal area, and will keep complaining about the lack of a sea their entire life, and they are loud. If you are just listening around, you'll get a very biased sample.
- guard-of-terra 11y agoAre you sure? I've mostly heard complaints about it.
- AnAfrican 11y agoWait until its main industry moves or goes into crisis.
- guard-of-terra 11y agoOf all places its one has smallest chances to move or go into crisis.
- AnAfrican 11y agosure but it certainly did move there. So it's not like it's 0% chances long term.
