The Dark Knight movie is a parable about evil and how one hesitant man (hesitant because of age, prestige and riches), pushed down a hellish hole, rose again for the nth time—the last ounce of courage, probably, to meet the paragon of evil head on, defeat it, and receded into the background and hoped to God, another would follow in his example.
In a sense Gotham did prove they could be saved, as seen by the eight years of peace between The Dark Knight and the Dark Knight Rises. But the peace was based on a lie. In the Dark Knight Rises Bruce Wayne/Batman rises to become the symbol that Harvey Dent was supposed to be, therefore saving Gotham City for real.
