If you mean random textured heightfields, there is plenty of software:

If you mean random streets and cities, there is much less software, but
there are academic papers with implementations:

http://vterrain.org/Culture/BldCity/index.html
http://vterrain.org/Culture/BldCity/procedural.html

E.g. Procedural Modeling of Cities, A Different Manhattan Project, Rapid
Procedural-Modelling of Architectural Structures, etc.
