They’re not all failures around the world though.
The one 1960s garden city / new town project that I’m most familiar with is Tapiola, part of Finland’s capital Helsinki area:

It was praised by the 1960s urban planners and architects, yet remains attractive today with high property values and a popular mix of suburban-style living combined with easy access to urban services. (Though it surely helps that Helsinki built an expensive metro line straight through Tapiola, and that some of Finland’s leading universities were relocated into the area from central Helsinki within the past 10-15 years.)
