In short, yes, but it really depends on how far the planets are from Earth. Planets such as Venus and Jupiter can be seen literally as soon as the sun has set, so nearby planets will be visible in light-polluted cities.

Why can you see the planets and the moon from earth?

Sometimes you can see them, and at other times you can't.When you can see them, the reason is that there is nothing between the planet and your eye to obstruct the light from the planet.When you can not see them, the reason is that there is something in the way, between the planet and your eye, which blocks the light so that it can't reach your eye. A cloud in the sky is an example of this effect ... you can't see planets on a cloudy night. Another object that could get in the way is the sun. If the planet is behind the sun, then you can't see it.
