Anyone here study urban design?

I've been doing some reading and I've noticed that urban design (theory, at least) follows with how people view communism/capitalism

1. Beginning of the industrial revolution, capitalism is at full blast. Cities are a mess, dirty, crowded and somewhat grim
2. theorists (Howard, Olmsted) propose some more coherent zoning and greening of the cities as methods to make these urban spaces more desirable
3. some guys take the meme too far (La corbusier) and idealize cities that are zoned for efficiency and driving, prescribed green space and skyscrapers.
4. you get shit like Broadacre city which is super zoned out and spread out cuz muh communication and ease of transportation, but it's grossly inefficient and a blight, but you also get people like Dorothy Hayden who think of shit like communal living because it's not sexist
5. then you start to get the less pragmatic ways back again, with people pushing for more street culture and community involvement to get the most out of everything. Bigger cities = more eco friendly. More public places to interact. A more enjoyable city life.

I'm not necessarily capitalist or communist, but does what I'm saying kind of follow?

Development isn't linear, though. Cities can radically change and change again based on the activities they're associated with.

>they build cities to be efficient
Yes?

Cities do not work when you do not plan them

Good luck with that.

City planners do this today. Ever heard of a q100 flood? It's a storm system which happens every 100 years, which everything is designed to withstand.

We already plan for 10 - 100 years ahead of time. Hell, most city planning jobs take up to 10 years just to get through fucking council.
