Did the Nazis ever plan to build any large cities on their desired Lebensraum? I know that Lebensraum for the Nazis was primarily for agriculture and autarky, but was there ever a desire among the Nazis to create new urban centers for the German population in the occupied territories?

:We have Urban planning in Nazi Germany and Generalplan Ost, though there's a limited amount of detail there on new cities. The long-term Nazi plans for rebuilding Berlin were creepy enough... AnonMoos (talk) 17:51, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

:There was also the plan to destroy and replace Warsaw. Iapetus (talk) 19:35, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

:There was Nordstern (city) in Norway. --Error (talk) 02:23, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

::::For the rebuilding plans for Berlin that AnonMoos mentions, see Germania (city). List of Nazi construction has some information and links to other articles, like Führer city, which has a list of cities that Hitler planned to rebuild, containing cities like Danzig, Memel, Posen and Prague outside Germany in their new Lebensraum, in addition to Warsaw and Nordstern mentioned above. I believe that Hitler spent much of his time, especially when the war wasn't going well, in drawing up such increasingly fanciful architectural plans.John Z (talk) 11:13, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
