You are missing the point. I do not believe that the Central Place Theory is a good idea. In fact, I think it is a really bad one loaded with totalitarian impulses and instincts.
Those totalitarian impulses and instincts seem to be independent of central place theory. Its theory seems to be focused on logistical distribution in a “tabula rasa” (empty slate) area, for maximum efficiency at first.

I would imagine this as a formative model only, that once in place would adapt to inequality over time. Instead of urban planning, it is regional planning.
As someone noted in the US, the new major cities in the western US all look like Dallas. An urban center surrounded by suburbs, which is itself surrounded, more or less, by a freeway, that bisects the metro area at places. This is a more American model, whereas central place theory is more European.
These European models can be seen in Germany, France, England, the Netherlands, etc. That it is associated with the Nazis matters little outside of Israel.
