What's interesting about your examples (Place d'Italie, Montparnasse, Berges de Seine) is that these neighborhoods are considered as the ugliest and seen as mistakes from the 1960/70s. They were part of projects to rebuild the whole city, along with highways that would cut through Paris. I'm pretty sure everybody today is happy those plans were cancelled. It's no wonder we're kind of vaccinated against towers... I could add to the list: place des fêtes, Olympiades, les Orgues de Flandres...
