It's interesting to note that it was the European modernists' (Le Corbusier, for example) hatred of the chaotic, asymmetric European inner city neighbourhoods that got them to think about "urban renewal" and replacing the inner city with "towers in parks", separated by expressways.
That's why I hate most of Le Corbusiers work, although I'm forced to study his work because he's seen as one of the most influential architects of the past century and of the modern movement.
