pick city population size?

I’m writing a story, but I need some help deciding what to do. The story is set in a futuristic walled city, where no one is allowed in or out. The city is self-sustaining; it has greenhouses to crop crops and buildings to raise farm animals. It also creates its own renewable resources/energy. Assume population stays stable over the years; no growth or decrease.

What population size would you pick as ideal for the city? Remember it has to be large enough to have labor(job) specialization and allow for a wide variety of jobs. It also needs to be large enough to support the need for public services such as hospitals, schools, fire, and police. It also has to be large enough to support a diverse genetic population (meaning it has to be large enough to allow people to date/marry and have kids; if the population is too small there won’t be enough choices). However, if the population is too large they’re will be issues of transportation, food/energy production, and waste disposal.

I wanted to see what others thought. What population would you make it? Thanks!

Help with setting in story?

I’m starting to plan out a new story, but I need some help deciding what to do. The story is set in a futuristic walled city, where no one is allowed in or out.

I don’t want it too be too big, but not too small either. I was thinking anywhere from 100,000 to 500,000, but I wanted other opinions. Thanks!
