How would building a modern city in an open plain be harder than retrofitting a century (or more) old city, wrt transit, zoning, ecological concerns, etc?
I’m not saying it’s trivial to build a city. I’m saying a modern city does not jeed to work around the many many layers of complexity and existing city brings

But expanding into agricultural areas instead of making current living spaces denser or better is the definition of sprawl.
No, sprawl would be adding suburban surrounds. Dense urban area is dense.
Modern well built cities networked by robust mass transit would decrease the need to take up natural and agriculture land.
I don’t care how many modern cities you add, suburban infrastructure around existing poorly built cities is worse.
