Simply put, Xu Yi was planning Falling Rain Valley as though it were a small town on Earth.
To refine the plans, he had not only discussed them with President Cruz, but also specifically asked Count Samo to find several City Planning Masters in Anvilmar City to help with the planning and design.

The masters found this utterly incomprehensible.
First, the cost would be far too high. Second, they considered it entirely unnecessary.
But later, Xu
