Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.

Build around that. Jack it up.

When complete, insert city.
Or...
Build a dome shaped building.
THAT'S the city.
First one, jayessell. It's just like a ship in a bottle. Build dome; insert city; pull on string, and---pop! up come the buildings!

The Arthur C. Clarke's moonbase had the dome opaque and white on the inside with pictures of clouds projected on it.
He didn't anticipate video projectors and laser graphics advertisements.
