Utopia, the Origins and Invention of Western Urban Design

Germán Solinís

UNESCO

The particular field of urban design is profoundly influenced by ideas about the ideal city, which have very deep roots in utopian discourse and thought. In tracing the relationship between urban planning and utopia from its origins to the present day, the author attempts to put his finger on what town planners, in trying to organize and control space, have made of utopia. The relationship between utopia and urban design is approached here from the starting-point of two questions. (a) How does the city impart its morphology to utopian discourse? (b) Can urban design be the science of the ideal city?
