There is a Swedish film on this subject. As described on imdb:
A German business man, Volkswagner, comes to Österlen in the south of Sweden to build Deutschneyland, a gigantic amusement park for German tourists. The local councilors and the member of parliament are all in favor of the idea, although it will turn vast areas into parking lots for cars. The Lindberg family does not like the idea and with the help of a little magic, they start scheming against it.
There are scenes where they are walking around in the middle of nature going
Can you imagine a better place for a popcorn stand?
I’ve been playing Arknights Endfield and what makes it feel silly is that the story is all about saving this precious, pristine grassy environment from blight and destruction…and you do it by making giant resource-mining factories.
My latest challenge mode in that game is to try and develop infrastructure while destroying as little of the natural environment as possible.
This has led to building a number of offshore plants, but the difficulty is having to still run materials to them before unlocking drones to do it for me.
Whenever I have to build in the interior, I've tried to focus on building tall instead of wide so that it doesn't take up much land space. But that does cause the horizon to become cluttered with a few industrial spires.
I can't help but have to destroy some of the environment to get early biofuel power going, but I focus on finding as many crash sites as I can early on to skip to coal as quickly as possible.
I once made a computer factory that was essentially a large floating octahedron. It had a condensed feed of materials coming in from one point in the bottom and a few drone ports to bring in other completed parts around the middle. I didn't plan for it, but just started building stages wider as I went taller until I noticed subsequent stages required less space, after which I started going in reverse.
I used to live in a small town who successfully kept out a Walmart and Cracker Barrel. The former because it would have paved over a historic farm and cost millions to extend the sewer, and the latter because “we already have restaurants.”
No no no, first you have to make a subdivision with cookie cutter houses and "whimsical" road planning, then you name it after the mountain ecosystem you bulldozed to make it. The walmart is built at the bottom of the mountain on the less important mountain ecosystem.

This is one sentence with at least three things in it that should be crimes.

Anyone play Satisfactory? Beautiful nature, yet you are directed to exploit the planet. Reminds me of that.

As a Factorio player, what's more beautiful than an endless concrete sprawl.

You could make structures that get high and then became wide

You've got to ask yourself, what did Nature ever do to us? Clearly Walwart provides us with food, drinks, computers, entertainment, weapons, ...

Tires, eyeglasses, vaccines, live fish (they stopped this one, I think), medicine.
Nature needs to step up her game.

There might come a day that Walmart has more live fish than nature.

I had the same thought. Wallow Whitman National forest? North Matthieu Lake?
What was your guess?

That's nice and all but we could never pave that mountain, could we just Cover it in garbage?

Like... On top of the lake?
Might actually be nice if it was all wooden and looked a bit like a big beaver dam. 🤔

We'll drain and pave over the lake.
