That structure is as insanely breathtaking as it is totally impractical to live in.

Error- you can see the stars through the structure. The apparent transparency is supposed to be the result of atmospheric perspective; I'm guessing the artist put the star layer on afterward and forgot to mask it.

I think its meant to be snow in front of the structures.

Given the climate, I doubt that. Looks like stars to me.

Or the city is supposed to be some sort of illusion.

Give the rundown portion in the foreground, I think this may be the girl's imagination picturing what the original must have looked like. It has, in the intervening years, collapsed into the sea. That's the reason for the transparency and the stars. Or that's my take on it, anyway.

Also, for such a drawing of grand scale, the artist did exceptionally well with the foreground too, especially the dappled sunlight.

There's no error here, artists that do this much detail don't make obvious mistakes (often)and just leave them and publish...
The city is disappearing into the sky because no one believes in it or something else depressing like that.
