ask a specialist why the dreams of urban planners so often die.

I'm not a specialist, but the reason is obvious. Their dreams require other people to conform to the planners' dreams. And most peoples ideas and dreams don't. Urban planners are an extreme example of Thomas Sowell's Vision of the Anointed.
