The chapter traces the evolution of utopian thought from Ledoux's visionary Chaux to Owen's New Lanark and Saint-Simon's technocratic society. Industrial utopias reimagine the city as a cooperative community where profit is shared, education is universal, and competence replaces privilege. These experiments shaped later socialist movements and offered concrete alternatives to the exploitation defining 19th-century industrial capitalism.
