If you love this aesthetic and the concepts beneath it, I highly recommend Paolo Soleri's Arcology: The City in the Image of Man.

Arcologies have nothing to do with videogames, they were a concept for a three-dimensional city invented by the architect Paolo Soleri. Soleri's 1969 book Arcology: The City in the Image of Man is worth reading.
This project has nothing to do with arcologies. It is a trailer park.
