I've always held that a general conformity helps a city become more visually appealing as long as the conformity isn't too strict. I thought this was a great concept vid. What are your thoughts?

Interesting video. Still, I'm not sure an attractive city can be made. It just seems to happen.

Many many cities around the world were planned.

Sure it won't be as direct of a stroke of influence as if you were playing Sim City but I do believe it's possible to set the playing field correctly to allow for a very beautiful city to grow.

"How to make a city as uninventive as possible"

The new-urbanist dogma is just as restrictive as the modernist dogma they claim to go against.

Brasilia! Google it and tell us what you think. Elements of most cities have been planned, but building a city from the ground up according to a predetermined plan results in boring cities.

Brasilia is definately one of the worlds most horrificly boring and monotonous cities.

Brasilia's a high quality and well designed city, full of greenery, parkland, reflective pools and iconic, groundbreaking Neimeyer buildings. I don't know how you can say that.
