Not so much: Trenton, Scranton, Poughkeepsie, Schenectady, Bridgeport, Springfield, Worcester, Nashua, Lawrence

Harrisburg doesn't have a lot of surface parking lots downtown, but it certainly engaged in widespread demolition from the 1950s-1990s for new buildings and parking garages. I don't think it really belongs on the same list. Reading is also a stretch.
