Freedom Cities
Freedom Cities is a concept proposed by Donald Trump for developing up to ten new master-planned cities on federal land in the United States. The proposal was introduced as part of his 2024 presidential campaign and involves holding a contest to award development rights to private entities.
The vision for Freedom Cities combines goals of increasing housing supply, revitalizing American industry, and promoting a specific social and aesthetic vision. The project has been developed further by conservative and libertarian think tanks, which have identified potential locations and drafted model legislation. The proposal has drawn both support from proponents of deregulation and criticism from academics, urban planners, and environmental groups over its political ideology, feasibility, and potential impact on democracy and the environment.
