You may not know this, but towns and cities are actually designed and planned. That's what zoning ordinances are all about. It's not something a lot of people think about, but I am involved in city planning a bit, so it's a familiar topic for me.
Edit to add: Yeah, this is Wikipedia, but it probably gives you more information than you care to know about the topic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_urban_planning
