Has some information about percentages for settlement areas, traffic areas and vegetation including rivers for Berlin.
With the given numbers of acres and using Berlin numbers they could create up to 180k plots of potential spaces. With 3-7million population and medium high rise (~4 floors) and that includes parks, public transport, regular transport and quite a bit of vegetation as well as ways to and from the city.
Though of course this doesn't include any change in material conditions but only the ownership of the land which was already there. The 800 million were paid for the rights within the social relations to do all that, but the actual labour and the infrastructure costs are something that they likely won't bear.
This of course means this project could have many reasons, but a part of them will be speculative. However I lean with the others who expect this to not work out or end up in scams.
Berliners love to hate their public transportation, and its infrastructure is kinda crap compared to places like Amsterdam or Copenhagen (it helps that the Netherlands and Denmark both do not have a car industry i guess), but i can 100% guarantee that AnCapopolis will have nothing even remotely comparable to Berlin's subway and train system or its density of parks, but will instead feature 10 times as many parking lots as Berlin. Like every Amnerikan pipe dream city it's in the middle of a fucking desert so there will be no rivers either and let's not even get started on how much the clubs and bars and restaurants there will suck compared to Berlin, or how atrociously low their numbers of hot transbians will be.
I would say Berlin has better public transport than Copenhagen. The only thing it's worse for (which is pretty big to be sure) is bike and pedestrian infrastructure
There will be no public transport and everyone will be forced to drive Teslas on autopilot

I wonder if there's a way to effectively short this project.
