So, when it comes to the Lower Planes, I feel like I can confidently name what kind of moral philosophy each of the planes is supposed to represent. The Nine Hells is tyranny, The Abyss is indulgence, Gehenna is greed, Carceri is sadism/resentment, and Hades is apathy.
But what do the Upper Planes represent? What core concept is each one built around?
We’ll probably more that they are just inverts and come what carried away to the opposite extremes. A good Buffy price tag source is worlds and planes at $50. Supposedly written by Mordenkainen based on his explorations and visitations of them all. It has sections on n each of the official worlds, the Fey wild, shadow, sell jamming, the inner planes and outer planes as well as Sigil.
The beautiful thing is you can make your own variations of them to be how you want them to be. If you want the Feywild and Shadowfell 'realms' to be reflections of reality but with some key differences, then do it exactly like that! Have an alternate reality that's geographically the same, but sapient races never emerged so there's no civilization ANYWHERE.

The same concepts but good.
