Neo Midgar

Neo Midgar is a plan for a model city to be built by the Shinra Electric Power Company in the Final Fantasy VII series. Neo Midgar is President Shinra's vision to build a new metropolis of Midgar in the legendary promised land, and make it an improved city based upon the present design as allowed by the excess of mako energy he believes is to be found there. Shinra plans to relocate their center of operations to the new city. Especially shown in Final Fantasy VII Remake, Shinra uses the promise of building a utopia to garner support for the company and their process of mako harvest from the general public.
Shinra cooperated with the crime boss Don Corneo, specifically with tracking down members of Avalanche, and promised the Don would be put in charge of a new Wall Market that was to be built in Neo Midgar. The Don planned to bring his underlings, such as Leslie, with him, however, as members of Avalanche escaped his grasp and organized an evacuation of the Sector 7 undercity prior to the collapse of the plate, this cooperation ceased, and with it the Don's place in Neo Midgar. 
The promised land is a legendary location mentioned in Cetra records, which Shinra believes to be a fertile land full of endless mako. To find the promised land, Shinra funds scientific research into Cetra, even going so far as trying to create one themselves. Neo Midgar is never built, even after the new company president, Rufus Shinra, discovers what he deems to be the promised land in the North Crater, as the company falls apart in the Weapon crisis.
==Imagery==
In the original Final Fantasy VII, Neo Midgar was never given a depiction, being merely spoken of as a key phrase by Shinra head employees as their ultimate goal.
In Final Fantasy VII Remake, Neo Midgar is given a visual depiction of Shinra's ideal. Neo Midgar is depicted as a bright and vibrant hi-tech and futuristic utopian metropolis. In contrast to current day Midgar, Shinra's depiction of Neo Midgar features open parks, vegetation, clear sunny sky, while the surroundings appear to not suffer the effects of mako extraction.
