I have a book on Celebration and found it fascinating reading. It was an interesting concept that of course me the same kind of compromises that Disney made in it's other projects at the same time. It has it's staunch supporters, but it never came out the way it was envisioned.

Progress city, the original EPCOT was another cool concept - but early on, I think Walt realized that in order for it to work it had to be run by a benevolent dictatorship. It's residents were all supposed to be temporary - there to build and test pototypes, and then go home. Democracy and majority rule would quickly dilute the ideals - and yet, it still seems so appealing.
