Personally I think it's a damn shame when people build over on a natural body of water. See Mexico City. Pic related are man made islands in Xochimilco, they are used for farmland but most of the city is just ugly sprawl. Venice is also built on top of man made islands in the bay of Venice. Discovery Bay, CA on the other hand is a man made lake and it turned out pretty good, even if it is purely residential and not a city.
