> I’m not sure that it is possible to design a perfect city. Oh I don't think it has to be perfect. I think current US cities are like a 1 or 2 out of 10, and a new city from scratch could be a 5 or 6. If you did good massive transport, walkable, dedicate beautiful areas (parks), enough traditional stoneface buildings, a way to automatically clean the streets like Paris has, a plan around safety/cleanliness/homelessness, a way to replace pipes without sawing through pavement, you'd be better than any current city. While you're at it though, why not invite famous artists to designate certain areas to each have a unique architectural style and commission sculptures and architectural ideas every few blocks?
