NOTE

Urban Agglomeration concept - Abundance Mindset vs. Scarcity Mindset in Land Expansion

The traditional mindset considers land as limited, suggesting to focus on expanding usable land into seas, air, and space.

Despite vast empty land in areas like Nevada, the real scarcity lies in specific valuable locations due to the urban agglomeration effect. These places are non-fungible, with the value attributed to human relationships and dense networks. Thus, the issue is not the finite land in America but the scarcity of unique locations like New York or San Francisco.
