What were some specific plans in progress for The Third Reich before the Nazis became aware of a coming defeat?

Now that school's done and I have some time to read, my request for the wider-read is: what kind of plans (infrastructural, social, organizational etc.) for a post-victory scenario were in progress that would have realized Hitler's goal of an aryan utopia? Were these plans fantastical? feasible? My key interest is in plans/ambitions that went unrealized.

I'm thinking of things like the ambitious Prora resort. Maybe this question could be answered by someone who's read some books on Nazi architecture. I imagine there are places in Germany where I could expect to see colossal monuments and tributes had the Nazi regime taken victory.
