What are the best and worst examples of Urban Planning you can share? (map, metro)

Anything from streetscapes to strip malls to urban havens.

Portland, Or in general is a great example of good urban planning, and the next door neighbor, Beaverton, Or is a good example of poor urban planning.

Miami, FL. How many cities that you know of have large surface parking lots adjacent to their busiest Metro station and make people walk 2 blocks for bus transfers, which are located under a highway access ramp?

You should look at the entire map of the city.
