Trump’s “Freedom Cities”—A New Frontier

President Trump has proposed the revival of the frontier spirit, and called for the building of 10 new cities—“Freedom Cities” on federal land in the West—and a contest to design and site them. “Almost one-third of the landmass of the United States is owned by the federal government,” Donald Trump said. “With just a fraction of that land . . . we should hold a contest to charter up to ten new cities and award them to the best proposals for development.”
