I have seen the movie on netflix. The dude is an engineer genius, but a social catastrophe. It maybe because I have no clue in architecture or urban development. His city are like what you see in the movie Logan's Run: perfect, beautiful, having sex all day, as long as there was a cap on population control.
When you see the city models there are no room for kindergarten, for kids to play. Actually I don't remember any children, only adults and couple with amazing smiles in his drawing concepts.
He is an engineer and that is why his city looks like a giant gear with people working and functioning like smaller gear.
