Can't think of too many examples outside the US. Large swathes of Bucuresti (and probably many other Eastern European cities) were knocked during "systemization" but the end result is at least dense and fairly vibrant, if ugly.

They didn't have highways that destroyed the city, but laissez faire zoning in the 60s and 70s destroyed a lot of gems.
