An US-desert city built from scratch.

The online magazine dezeen recently published an interesting article reporting that not only Saudi Arabia is planning a mega-city in the middle of the desert, but that the architecture studio BIG is also planning a large city in the American desert of Nevada between Salt Lake City and Las Vegas. Dezeen writes: “Renderings of the “built-from-scratch” city Telosa designed by BIG show details of specific buildings, such as a large, wooden “mobility hub” and a “sports village” hosted in an outstretched, silver building.” Telosa has a target population of five million by 2050, with the first phase of construction expected to house 50’00 people by 2030, BIG states on its website.
