    The document summarizes three urban planning projects that faced challenges: 1. The Millennium Dome project in London failed to attract the anticipated number of visitors and faced financial problems, but was later reopened successfully as an entertainment venue called The O2. 2. Boston's Big Dig project significantly reduced traffic but faced cost overruns, with the final price being $11 billion over budget and repayment not expected until 2035. 3. After a 1963 earthquake destroyed much of Skopje, Macedonia, Japanese architect Kenzo Tange proposed a new urban plan centered around the train station, but there was regret for not preserving more of the historical sites.
