I want it set up to make people healthy and have strong communities.

This is called being authoritarian. How about leave people alone?

I want to get rid of socially atomised suburbs and replace them with genuine liveable community spaces for example

This is not social engineering, that is just regular engineering. In fact, it's called civil engineering, and it's about building structures and city planning. That is not about controlling thoughts and behavior in a direct manipulative way.

There's no such thing as a society without social engineering, the only way to oppose social engineering is by opposing society, and thus all states/politics existing at all.

Are you so used to government controlling you and your life, that you can't imagine a town where people just live their lives without external controls? They do exist. What you're describing is a kind of totalitarian, authoritarian control. A society were a few handful of people are telling the rest how to behave and live their lives.

You are confusing social engineering with simple governance of people. You are confusing social engineering with regular engineering and city planning. Please reconsider. These kinds of confusion opens the door wide open for dystopias and dictators that kill millions of people who won't comply. I hope you are not in favor of killing millions of people who disagree with you.

I am an authoritarian, liberalism has brought humanity nothing but misery. I will leave people alone once I've liberated them from their slavery.

Your physical environment is obviously intimately tied to your psychology. Obviously a town with a church, only small local businesses, a park and everyone living within walking distance of each other is going to have vastly different social outcomes to a suburb that only has houses and roads. This point is beyond retarded and you should feel extremely embarrassed for thinking this was smart.

Nobody would disagree with me once I was in power because everyone would be happy and grateful that I gave them exactly what you're arguing for but have no idea how to get there. You would realise how ridiculously stupid you were as a lolbert and repent and beg me to forgive you for how lacking in vision you were. I would of course be merciful because I'm a benevolent God.
