description The idea of a collective life that is morally and materially fulfilling, associated in Western culture with the notion of “utopia”, has often taken the form of a well-ordered urban community. This idea can be traced back to ancient Greece (the “virtuous city”), the Middle Ages (the “city of God”), and the Italian Renaissance (as the ‘ideal city’), but also to the modern search for solutions to the problems of industrial and post-industrial cities. Urban planning and theory are therefore linked to utopianism in many ways. This chapter explores the different normative connotations that have been attached to the idea of the ‘good city’ throughout history, from classical antiquity to modern urban planning.
