This is a list of planned cities (sometimes known as planned communities or new towns) by country. Additions to this list should be cities whose overall form (as opposed to individual neighborhoods or expansions) has been determined in large part in advance on a drawing board, or which were planned to a degree which is unusual for their time and place.

C Canada It is a misconception that virtually all cities and towns in Western Canada, which were created after the federal Dominion Lands Act of 1870, (the majority of all such cities), were planned. Most of these were, indeed, railway towns, founded after surveying and planning by the powerful railway companies during construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway, Canada's first transcontinental line, or the Canadian National Railway, but this initial start generally only provided one or two streets with a few lots set out, from which the cities grew unplanned.
