Dramatards, !catholics in January I was in La Plata, that's the capital of the Buenos Aires province as the City of Buenos Aires is kind of like the District of Columbia being a separate entity.
La Plata is a planned city founded in 1880 by the Buenos Aires governor Dardo Rocha.
This is what La Plata looks like from the air
The cathedral is located in from of the central square and is dedicated to "Our of Lady of our Sorrows". It was designed in a neogothic style by the architect Pedro Benoit who was also an urbanist and developer of the layout of La Plata.
Here are some pics I took from the cathedral

Do planned cities work?
Or was it just the Comissioner's Plan of 1811 that was r-slurred?

I can't speak for La Plata because I don't live there and I only stayed there for one day. But from my perception the traffic flowed well and it's easy to find addresses. But the city itself is quite soulless, the Church and the Museum were the only parts I liked.
Brazilian planned cities like Brasilia, Goiânia and Belo Horizonte also suffer from the same "soulless" character, but Brasilia for instance is super car-centric and suffer from terrible traffic, some urban planners are just r-slurred.
