Isn't it The Woodlands, Texas? -- Zoe
There is also Audubon New Community north of Buffalo, New York, developed by the New York State Urban Development Corporation in the 1970s in conjunction with the construction of the University of Buffalo North Campus. Not private, not HUD.
The list seems too broad in some places. By including places like Tokyo and Miletus, it seems to include "any city whose form has been affected by planning". This is too inclusive. I suggest:

What are the exact criteria for this page? Cause for an example, Alkmaar in The Netherlands is a city that was never planned. Some suburbs were (mostly in the 70's and the 80's), but the city as a whole is most certainly not planned. And the Dutch marine city of Den Helder isn't in this list. That city was founded by Napoleon, who wanted to create a settlement there, cause of its strategic location. Other 'new build cities' or 'planned cities' in The Netherlands are almost all the places in the province of Flevoland, for that province is a new build/ planned province. The only exception is Urk, for that place was located on an island, an island later linked with the new build province. Rob Bruin, 16:00, 27 november 2006

when a concensus on listing and naming has been reached at Wikipedia:Naming conventions#Chinese and Wikipedia:Naming conventions#Hong Kong and Macao, Hong Kong shall have a separate listing, and China, PR be renamed as China (mainland) or Mainland China.
Tapiola is not a city. It's a residential and commercial area within the city of Espoo. Should it still be included? — JIP | Talk 07:15, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I disagree with most of these cities being listed here. Eger, for example, is a typical old settlement formed around a medieval castle, with a historical downtown and all. I'd say the same about Sopron. Kazincbarcika, Salgótarján and Tatabánya were created by the unification of several small towns in places where the Socialist government needed new industrial cities; the population of these cities grew fast, because of the job opportunities that were provided there, but I don't think it means that the cities themselves were planned, they were just artificially turned into cities from small towns.
Of all these cities only Tiszaújváros and Dunaújváros (and maybe Oroszlány, at least acc. their website – I'm not familiar with this town) could be classified as planned cities, both were planned and built within a few years. The rest are definitely not planned. It's quite likely that each of them was completely destroyed and built again several times during their history, but actually it's true to almost all the Hungarian cities, towns and villages, still not all of them are included here.
See the articles of the cities for more details. – Alensha 18:06, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
Is Runcorn really a planned city? Neng5 18:30, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
EPCOT is obviously a theme park, and not a city. Should the link be included simply because of the intent of the original design? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.222.150.163 ( talk) 19:29, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
Much of the discussion above could be obviated if reputable sources were included for each entry, of if the linked WP article had a source within them that would merit inclusion on this list. If you don't think a city belongs here, then just remove it and see if anybody objects and if that person can provide a source for inclusion.

"As part of plans to build thousands of new homes in the south-east of England, a new settlement on 400 hectares of former agricultural land, nine miles west of Cambridge, was considered in the late 1980s." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stefek99 ( talk • contribs) 08:34, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
