New Mexico, home to several of the nation’s premier scientific, nuclear and military institutions, is planning to take part in an unprecedented science project — a 20-square-mile model of a small U.S. city.

A Washington, D.C.-based technology company announced plans Tuesday to build the state’s newest ghost town to test everything from renewable energy innovations to intelligent traffic systems, next-generation wireless networks and smart-grid cyber security systems.

Greg,

Better not let https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=522291" get wind of it. They may decide to change their libertarian plans, instead of an island they may want to populate the new New Mexico experimental city instead.

Rhody...

I'd have thought computer modeling would prove far cheaper than building a town, even if it is miniaturized.
