This is nonsense and waste of time and money, nobody is tearing down 1000 years of construction, even if badly planned from modern perspective, just because it would look nice on some plans and some statistics would go up. Things are as they are in terms of construction, get over it and focus on winnable fights. Also there are few examples when bureaucratic idiots came up with similar ideas and actually made it into reality from scratch on green fields, ie Brasília in Brazil or some other examples. Half-empty cities, empty vast highway, tons of resources poured into failed ideas.
