The video is a bit heavy leaning on demonizing a suggest political rivalry (I don't live in Netherlands so who knows how accurate their description of the political opposition are).
The concept however about removing busy roads going through the middle of cities seems like a good idea. A big benefit the video do not go through is that it removes the small center area as the big center of commerce, and move that to the edges around the ring roads. That allows for a lot of new construction as the city grows. When there is less things to do in the center of the city, traffic will continue to drop down and the center mostly becomes a place of apartments and offices.
It reminds me a bit of how harbors where I live has slowly been moving away from cities, with past harbors being replaced with expensive apartments and offices. When cities grows the benefits of having heavy industry in the center of the city becomes smaller and everyone mostly benefit from it being moved where land is cheaper.
