Another related phenomenon is the relocation of an entire town which often results in building an entire infrastructure from scratch. These are either caused by natural disasters like Pattonsburg. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pattonsburg,_Missouri
Or it can be caused by planned hollowing of the ground from mining like Kiruna. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiruna
Either scenarios are fascinating to think about the engineering effort that goes into starting a town from scratch. Like literally sim city.
