I have to disagree on that point of yours, though.
Hopefully you noticed we've been clearly done with Le Corbusier's insane fascistic/communist views for a pretty long while by now, then here in Paris and in France as a whole, masterplans like Rive Gauche in the 13th arrondissement turn out some fine urban planning.
Only, they feature contemporary architecture instead of ancient neo-classical trends, which you may dislike.
That's only a matter of taste as far as textures and design go. But it doesn't mean planning itself would be bad at all.
It is actually good over Rive Gauche where a square meter must sell for €10k on average. That's surely not the average price of a urban failure.
I think Le Corbusier is generally much cheaper. Lol
