Victorycities...

It seems to be an ambicious project, wich could be constructed, but the main focus is the city itself. I THINK that this victory cities are designed thinking in the optimal-functionality of a city and the future citizens are just an add-on whose has to obey certain rules, as you can see in the cafeteria image. Cities are made for citizens, not vice-versa.

Another important issue are plans and the main idea of a city, it was made on 80's and it has an old-futuristic aspect and technology according that years.

However, today we can find projects of "dream cities"wich are in construction or planing to be constructed, and have as main focus be a self-sustainable city i.e. Norman Foster's Masdar or Rem Koolhas' Ras Al Kharimah Eco City. These projects are as ambicious as the victory_cities, the difference between them is these cities are 100% constructable and were developed by modern studies using cuting edge technology.
