This "early render" of the Praxis city reminded me right away of "The High-Modernist City". It looks like the failures described there: straight lines and symmetry, segregation of function, seen from so far above that the humans disappear. https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/james-c-scott-seeing-like-a-state#toc28

"The despot is not a man. It is the Plan." This looks to me like a city zoned for control and hierarchy. Some will say that's necessary (or good!) and I'm the doomed utopian, but I'd prefer to think we can build communities focused on human flourishing without caste or coercion.
