Building a city seems very... central planned. Normally these things should grow organically. Unless maybe you're in China or North Korea.

- spywaregorilla 3y agoPower infrastructure, water infrastructure, public services, telecom, road design, etc. are all things that very, very much benefit from central planning. Urban planning is not nearly the same as a centrally planned economy.
- self_awareness 3y agoYes. And also, such cities are so perfectly designed, that they don't even need people living in them.

- khuey 3y agoIt's illegal essentially everywhere in the US to organically grow something low-density into a proper city. The only way a new city is getting built at all is to do it that way from the start.
- kube-system 3y agoAre you referring to zoning? Because that varies widely in the US and there are many places where zoning wouldn't be a barrier to organically growing a municipality.
