Been there, it's not a whole city. It's a big ice theme-park, kinda.

It's pretty big but not a whole city.

Won't even be cold enough to build it sooner.

Nah, just need to get gasoline powered generators to run heat pumps on the inside to keep it frozen. Like how they have year-round ice rinks in hot-as-fuck deserts.

It made me think of Kemi Snowcastle that's an ice hotel. But turns out there's quite a few famous ones https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_hotel
