Others have pointed out that this has happened, with cities like DC and Brasilia, but I have yet to see an example of a new city that wasn't built in a car-oriented way. If you want a fundamentally walkable city, you have to make some decisions that hurt car drivers, and I don't think anyone has been willing to do so with these projects.
