Our Proposed City - The Society of St John
They are building a new city. From their website:

One of the fundamental claims set forth in the Founding Document of the Society of Saint John is that, generally speaking, the modern lifestyle is not a propitious environment for a sane and Catholic life. Hence the proposal of the Society to create “Catholic cities” centered on the solemn worship of the Church. These cities would serve as the context and frame of a life of worship and, built in the best of our architectonic tradition, they should also offer a clear solution to the demands of modern life. In these cities contemporary man would find the right setting where he may restore his relationship with the sources of traditional wisdom, and thus have the means to be strengthened in his mission of “restoring all things in Christ.”
