This is the conspiracy no one talks about. TPTB are all doing it.
There is a race to form the next private cities for the elite and meanwhile the existing cities will be eroded and left to decay and the end goal is to trap most people within their respective cities economically so that they can no longer do anything but work to survive - all the while - still providing a select elite with all the workers they desire.
Then in these private cities - it will be more automated, less restricted for the rich, meanwhile the common folk will be kept out except for a few choice positions as butlers, sex slaves, etc.
Meanwhile it is also a way for them to siphon off many of the funds and costs associated from local governments by claiming it is for environmental reasons, and that they are piloting new projects to "save the planet" etc.
Economically and from a socio-polical view - it makes a lot of sense to build new ones - though with a huge amount of costs if that much is redirected from existing cities as opposed to purely private capital.
Land is much cheaper to buy and develop initially when you are not beholden to existing tax codes and zoning rights. But this also provides the opportunity to control city council and establish a voting base as well as new voting sectors.
It has a higher ROI assuming the city gets populated (immigrants if needed)
