Would EPCOT have worked as a city?

Like Arcosanti, EPCOT was designed by someone just bubbling with enthusiasm for their vision, and a huge piece of that vision assumed that the people who’d live there would be just as enthusiastic to involve themselves in the community, grow the project, and keep it running. But also like Arcosanti, without its visionary to push a crazy idea, it sputtered along. As much as I would’ve liked to have seen EPCOT/Progress City built, by now it’d likely be just as dated as those awesome concrete arches out in the New Mexican desert.
