When trying to edit my old city plans, a thought crossed my mind. Why redesign a city? Why not start a new, much grander project? We have a great collection of talent on this server. Now imagine if we pooled all that talent together into one massive project. My proposal is this: Create a new parallel world (like desert world, flatlands, etc.) to house a city in. The map would be similar to flatlands, in the fact that the ground would be lowered (to a height that would avoid void fog) to allow taller builds (used to great effect at /warp nopitower). It would need to be a highly organized project, with building guidelines to ensure quality (but in a way that wouldn't restrict creativity too much). In a parallel world (that could be expanded if the need arises), we wouldn't encounter the limitations that we do in the main world.
I just want to hear some feedback on this idea, and if it is positive, we could plan further.

One idea that has occurred to me is that it might work best to have the builds built elsewhere (could host a smaller world that is cleared out every now and then for that purpose) and then place the builds in the city. This would: A) Give us more control over the quality of the city. B) Allow us to plan the roads around the buildings themselves, rather than the other way around (that's always been a big issue for me). I also think there should be a clear set of guidelines to follow (such as a minimum ceiling height for example, or banned build materials) to keep some form of consistency. We could set up a panel that approves builds and decides where to place them.

Well that's the thing, the 7 wonders could possibly be placed in the city when they're done? Lol, just an idea, though I guess the 7 wonders probably might not fit in with a city. =P
Either way, I really like this idea, sounds like it could make for a very interesting project.
