I suspect that had more to do with the directives of policy makers, who believed that light and air (and parking) were more important than eyes on ground, and other advantages of the older style. It may also have been cheaper. Certainly few of the buildings they put up were iconic. most were unassuming and also failed to create attractive public places. Whereas the more iconic modernist buildings were often built as part of an urban fabric, which they sometimes aggressively disrespected, and sometimes not so much.
