Way to many people in the "urban planning" universe seem to think they can force solve their problems when the best urban environments they want to emulate and export around the world were hardly planned at all and instead the result of decades of natural growth and layers upon layers of different decisions and times to produce....idk magic?

Same problem in the architectural field as well, with far too many who think they can design their way to utopia.
Humans will naturally and organically use spaces that are available to them in the best way possible. That's not something that can be contrived and planned - adaptability just needs to be something that's allowed for in our buildings and cities.
