our icons of today are our counter-examples of tomorrow.

Moreover I think the list of counter-examples bout cities is full, thank you everybody: Brasilia, Valparaiso, Paris, New York, Tokyo, etc., now Dubai. Maybe now is time to resurrect Christopher Alexander's spirit (I just checked, he is medically alive) and look at what is good and why it's good.

they all have been deemed "the way you should not build a city" at one point or another (for different reasons of course).
