Initially, we would want the first city to be on flat land, it's a lot less labour-intensive, resource-intensive, things could work out much easier in terms of reproducing 1/8th of the city.

And transportation will be simpler. Mountains are useful in the cold weather, snow forms on the mountain and in the spring the snow melts and irrigates the land when there's no rain or hardly much rain. So mountains can be very useful in the cycle of water and how we use it. So, it's not good to design cities on mountains because it would be less efficient. It would take more energy to build cities on hilly land rather than flat terrain.
