This is literally Burning Man.
Burning Man creates a 70000 person city in the middle of the desert from scratch every year. It's exactly what you want to prototype any number of urban design theories.
- Tossrock 10y agoIt's interesting to note that Burning Man started out as a much more freewheeling, libertarian kind of place (shooting guns, driving around wherever you wanted, etc), and that as it grew, it encountered the natural outcomes that require restriction of individual rights for the common good. For example, after a couple in a tent were run over by a car driving around at night, they had to remove the general right to drive around freely. Now you have to go through an extensive process to be licensed, strictly follow the 5 MPH rules, etc.
