Your idea simply doesn't chime in with anything I know about the nature of modern nation states or how the world works in general.
> a series of land purchases made by every country from its bordering neighbours
Which nation state would allow for this to happen? The US, which is now trying to build a wall along its Southern border? The Europeans who almost cancelled the Schengen agreement over the wave of refugees? Australia that houses refugees on an island prison[1]?
Nobody would sell their land to foreigners. No nation state would give up resources out of humanitarian concern.
> The people affected would be resettling in newly-developed cities within newly-purchased territory of their own country
Who would even pay for this? We're talking about tens of trillions of dollars.
