Vertical farms won't work, mass vegetarianism is probably going to be mandatory, as is public transit being the dominant transport option - granting every man, woman and child the 1 1/2 tonnes of steel/aluminium for private car ownership can't scale. Nukes everywhere, Hydro everywhere, and you're probably going to want to integrate power-plant waste heat output and pipe that into home heating (especially hot-water), which is going to mean small city sizes and high density. You're also going to want to minimize commute distance, so the topology will be:
- Apartment blocks built near and oriented towards local industry/power plants (think Magnitogorsk/Chernobyl)
- Abundant Mass transit/cycling options
- surrounded by farmland focused on cereals/legumes/fruit.
- Good rail connection and integration into the local industry.
Whether these 'blocks' are placed right next to each other, or spaced far apart, I'm not sure, but I feel like they'd be more efficient being right next to each other. So you'd have these huge mega-cities with rail as the dominant logistics network, surrounded by farmland, with the rest outside-the-logistic-network/in-difficult-to-reach-places left to nature.
