Canberra, Australia, lived 19 years there as adult. Designed and planned from the beginning, founded in 1913. Has several "town centres" with the similar idea of "close to everywhere you need to be". But imbalances of distribution through all the various factors of life mean one town centre has better [X], another has better [Y], your [Z] hobby group may be mostly in another area and your friends and family end up all over the place. And so you travel everywhere anyway.
