New Alexandria was a metropolitan city located at Eposz on the human colony world of Reach.

Background
Unlike on Earth, where most cities have grown across the centuries and often feature a mix of architecture from different eras, New Alexandria and Reach's other cities were "planned communities"; the buildings and infrastructure were designed and built into a cohesive urban habitat from the start. The city's architecture and overall design reflected this; conventional streets were a rarity, and a large part of the city consisted of massive high rises of sleek, modular design. Many of the buildings were lined with multiple levels of walkways and plazas and connected by sky bridges. In the city center, a MagLev train line connected some of the buildings. Closer to the city's spaceport, numerous container transport tracks crisscrossed in the space between the lower levels of the buildings. Three space elevators were located on the ocean some distance away from the city.

Human-Covenant War
The city became the target of a Covenant attack during the Fall of Reach in 2552, resulting in the five-day Siege of New Alexandria. Although civilian transports successfully evacuated the city thanks to the efforts of Noble Six, the city was ultimately glassed by the Covenant.

At some point after the Human-Covenant War the city was reconstructed to some effort, and a statue to Noble Team was built at Hosok Tere as a memorial.
