The chapter examines Campanella's City of the Sun (1623), a theocratic utopia built on collective property, social harmony, and scientific knowledge. Structured in seven concentric rings, the city unites urban form with social vision. Equality, shared labour, and continuous learning define its citizens' lives, making the work a key reference for later socialist movements and a bridge between Renaissance utopianism and modern thought.
