As an urban planning exercise, this looks interesting enough. But as a place to live, it looks cold and sterile, with all of the mid-rise buildings looking exactly alike and lined up in neat rows. Reminds me of Pruitt-Igoe (and no, that's not a compliment). As for the train lines running at surface level, I would recommend that the OP study the history of how subways came to be. The one-line summary is that they were put underground to avoid surface congestion.
subways sorta defeats the purpose of trains. trains are simple and last a long time, putting them underground makes them last only 100 year about. maybe when we invent concrete that is very strong we can have subways in most cities.
