Thanks, if you want a whole book of the complete failure of centralized urban planning, which created the boring/toxic suburban landscape combined with dilapidated urban ghettos in the US, see:

It's a great example of the failures of the ideology of preemptively interfering with markets, instead of defaulting to capitalism and only interfering when markets are clearly failing - but at the same time central planning creating a problem which markets get publicly blamed for. Basically a TLDR of modern American politics.
Sprawl is not the natural order of things. See Zoned Out! for an explanation of this.
I'm a libertarian urbanist, and the rank and file libertarians hate the morgage interest deduction, zoning laws, urban renewal, government subsidized highways, and other sprawl creating policies.
Good book on free market urbanism:
