Description

The City of the Future is, possibly, the foundational work of modern urban and rural planning.

First published in Paris in 1924, it served as a dramatic warning about the uncontrolled growth of cities. Only a visionary like Le Corbusier could have foreseen a conflict of such magnitude and proposed concrete solutions, which remain relevant today.
With his characteristic boldness and controversial spirit, Le Corbusier put forward proposals that, despite the passage of time, remain one of the starting points of modern urban planning. He begins with a general discussion of the topic, which he then focuses on in what he calls a "laboratory study," where he proposes the basic principles of what he considers the city of the future.
Based on a pioneering study on the urban planning problems of the city of Paris, he contrasts the chaos with the now admired "Plan Voisin" of Paris.

The City of the Future is an essential document for anyone interested in modern design and urban planning in 21st-century cities.
