Is not an Earthly City... Read Below!
What a remarkable city this is! A perfect cube 12,000 furlongs (about 1,380 miles) [2,220 km]) in perimeter, surrounded by a wall 144 cubits, or 210 feet [64 m], in height. No literal city could ever have such measurements. It would cover a territory about 14 times as large as modern Israel, and it would tower almost 350 miles [560 km] into outer space! Revelation was given in signs. So, what do these measurements tell us about heavenly New Jerusalem? The 144-cubit-high walls remind us that the city is made up of 144,000 spiritually adopted sons of God. The figure 12 that appears in the 12,000-furlong measurement of the city—with the length, breadth, and height being equal—is used figuratively in organizational settings in Bible prophecy. Hence, New Jerusalem is a superbly designed organizational arrangement for accomplishing God’s eternal purpose. New Jerusalem, together with the King Jesus Christ, is Jehovah’s Kingdom organization. Then there is the shape of the city: a perfect cube. In Solomon’s temple, the Most Holy, containing a symbolic representation of Jehovah’s presence, was a perfect cube. (1 Kings 6:19, 20) How fitting, then, that New Jerusalem, illuminated by the glory of Jehovah himself, is seen as a perfect, large-scale cube! All its measurements are perfectly balanced. It is a city without irregularities or defects.—Revelation 21:22.

Friend the New city Jerusalem is The Bride, Read Rev. 21:2 & 9-27. But now concerning the earthly Jerusalem, Yes it is right where Jerusalem is at now, Only that The Dome of the Rock will be torn down & Israel will Rebuild The New temple.

the New Jerusalem in the bible is not actually the Jerusalem which you are thinking as a name of a place.It is a time when all the creatures on earth will be back to God. all human beings will retire from being guided by the devil and will return back to God in obeying His commandments, His orders and so forth and so on. Sinners will be punished to go to hell and those who are faithful to God be brought to heaven for eternal life with God

New Jerusalem will be located at the current sight of Jerusalem. It will replace the current city. Sorry, America, but the City of David will not move to the United States to please your arrogant expectations of Christ. All of you that hate Israel and Jews will have to GO to Israel to stand judgment for your crimes of hatred against the Lord's chosen people---if you don't think that God will judge you for your prejudice, then you had better read the Old Testament again. Our Lord is very specific about attitudes toward Israel.

New Jerusalem is mentioned only at the end of Revelations and only in a vision. The location is based on interpretation of the vision, which is highly debatable unless you have the gift of prophecy.
It's likely based on the concept of a "new earth" written by Isaiah in chapter 65.
