The chapter surveys key architectural utopias of the 20th century, from Garnier's industrial city to Le Corbusier's Unité d'Habitation and Chandigarh, and Wright's Broadacre City. Each project reimagines urban life through rationality, social harmony and technological progress. Architecture becomes the privileged medium for translating utopian ideals into built form, reshaping the relationship between citizens, space and the future.
