Okay but how does a "knowledge worker" like me, and many of the other readers of HN who work in jobs with little exposure to large-scale structures, get started building the city of the future? I have no idea where to even begin.
I learned how to program by watching tutorials and doing online coding classes. This is how I am used to learning. This method of learning isn't going to work when it comes to say, starting a startup that will build a new monorail. This is such a huge blockage for me and probably others with limited exposure to industries outside of software.
Has anyone ever felt this way and how did you overcome it?

I feel the same way. Hundreds of resources for learning programming online, but little else.
I would love to take a class on "Building plant based proteins" but can't find anything online.
