Over half of the world’s population lives in cities, and like it or not, the future is urban. But even before this became a fact, intellectuals have countered dystopian representations of the city by imagining, and even attempting to set in motion, utopian urban futures. What did they envision and why? And what would an urban utopia look like from the vantage point of today?
In this intensive seminar, we study selected utopias while discussing futurology, utopianism and urbanism in a broader context as theory and method, fantasy and ideology. Students are asked to identify and research a utopian vision from the past or the present, and discuss it in relation to a specific city or to the urban condition in general.
