Develop reflection on the case is very good to enrich and to develop IFAM knowledge and science. The first step has been done by developing an overview of several capital relocation cases. This research, the second step, is designated to make observations on the spatial plan of three good capitals. Visiting experience of the authors, enriched by literature study has been conducted. The reseach has main conclusions. It is better to develop a new city on an empty inhabited area. The symbolic aspect of the city is very important. A good plan, development, and control must be applied. The city must be green and intelligent.
