Australia did the same.

>nti-heritage attitudes which led to the demolition of many world class pre-war buildings in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney, destroying some of the world's best examples of Victorian architecture.[16] Modernism was promoted to many Australians as casting off imperial Europe to rebuild a new independent identity, and the existing pre-war architecture, which was a feature of Australian cities, was denigrated.[17] This resulted in many calls to demolish the Royal Exhibition Building, labelled the derogatory term "white elephant". It was not until Queen Elizabeth II granted the building Royal status that Australians began to recognise its value.

There is good modernist architecture, the problem is the bland international style and the complete and utter lack of shit for heritage buildings.

Knock down buildings that also work as beautiful public art and just replace them with glass and steel boxes.
