Where is Tallinn, Estonia?

Similarly, if Berlin is there, should Paris / London / Milan be as well?

They all offer similar tech scene as Berlin. I might miss something here. I haven’t been there in a while

The first few I click on do not exist (though some obviously do). But for the ones that do not (Telosa is just "scouting locations"), these are just creative writing of fancy utopian aspirations that either end in bankruptcy or dystopian novels.
I can't take this list seriously :

  - Bitcoin Beach, El Salvador
  - Bitcoin City, El Salvador
That’s where you want to go if you want to setup a money laundering operation for drug money.

Err, i mean “decentralized finance”

Telosa is probably the most absurd
Wait till you hear how Hershey, Pennsylvania got its start.
They have a fantastic Theme park too
What is the purpose of this? Should we consider starting a startup in any of these places? Why is one better than the other?
Its a list of cities with ambitions based around startups, technology, or creating a better planned city.
Why the downvotes? The website doesn't explain any of my questions.
culdesac? french for dead end. how is this a positive reasoning from the architect? I wonder.
A cul-de-sac is a dead end for cars. Maybe these cities focus more on pedestrians than cars? Seems there are some priori for that line of thinking: https://culdesac.com/

That's not really a neighborhood; it looks more like off-campus apartments for the nearby university.

The dirt rectangle on Google Maps' satellite view shows the extent of the "neighborhood": https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Arizona+State+University,+Te...

Never heard of that particular "neighborhood" and to be honest, the website kind of looks like a scam. I was just musing about how the name could make sense for the authors.
more like list of crypto-heavens and "planned economic city" projects
I clicked on the question mark at the top of the page. It explains that there are 3 definitions of a startup city as given by Balaji Srinivasan.

Perhaps a github repository with this information that can be updated with pull requests would manage a more comprehensive list and information.

But this is a good start.
