In places where humans have been a long town you simply dont create new cities. In a place like Switzerland I could imagine what that would even look like. There are villages everywhere, some grew and became small cities, some slighly larger and do on. Founding city only happens if you move lots of people into a lightly lived in area or during a massive population boom due to agroculture. And you dont need new cities to build great infrastrucute. Look at Istanbul. One of the oldest cities and yet the are massivly building out public infrastructure. Copenhagen just added a totally modern subway. Amsterdam and co have totally revolutionized cycling in the last decades. The bones of a city arnt that different. People still happly live in 300 year old city houses just fine. There is little point rebuilding that stuff. There are cities that are 1000+ years old and feel totally modern. Its all about continual improvment and iteration. Most by design cities embrace a bunch of terrible hype ideas. And even in the very best case, like Australia for example, the result isnt better then the older cities. Cities are large enough that you can do large scale expermients within them. Transform one part of town with new methods.
