Sure it is. When the plans are never completed, change faster than the cities do, and there are more exceptions granted to the plan than compliance, it is hard to say cities are "planned". By contrast, cities are reasonably good at setting, adopting, enforcing, and evolving standards of various sorts (curbcuts, signage, building codes). The story of the past few decades has been efforts to bridge the gap to slightly larger patterns at the level of streets and neighborhoods rather than leaving that largely to a minmaxing process that litters our cities with endless small and medium tragedies of the commons (eg. giant parking lots surrounding isolated fortress-like stores, office blocks surrounded by blank-walled alleys, or suburban cul-de-sacs forcing long circuitous routes that require a car to get anywhere).
