Master planned cities are very rare, and when the vision is fulfilled to some degree the results are mixed.
Washington DC works but is not that ambitious as it is a grid interrupted with wide boulevards, similar to Haussmann's Paris. Brasilia is more ambitious but works less as a city.
Milton Keynes and Irvine, CA are not as appreciated by critics but are apparently desired places to live.

Reason: Corrected chronology
the venus project is all nice looking but it doesnt work. theres no roads and no trains. if someone can make a city that looks like that and has as many trains as mine, then ill be happy.
We once ended up in a circular city spending the night. And we like to have never found the hotel.
Udine, Italy is about an hour north of Venice, and it goes back to the time of the Romans. And unfortunately the streets built for chariots don't work so well for automobiles. Smart cars are parked all over the sidewalks.

Build it in cities skylines and show us how that'll work.
Thing is, the theorists make up how the city center should look according to the fad theory of the moment. If they're super-lucky a government gets taken in and it gets built.
Then people take over and suburbs grow, things get knocked down and replaced, whole sections never get built as planned due to economic facts, etc.
Master planning anything bigger than a moderately sized subdivision has been tried over and over and it's always a total failure.

we should stop putting all our eggs in one basket and build a city away from bad areas. places that flood, places that will have a earthquake ect will be a failure. we have so much land in the us, the only new city we have built is vegas.
looks horrible, I wouldn't live there if you paid me.
