The chapter examines Bacon's New Atlantis (1627) as a landmark in scientific utopianism, where reason and empirical inquiry replace philosophical speculation. The island city of Bensalem, centred on the Salomon's House research institution, prefigures modern academies and the smart city. Science becomes the engine of human happiness, shifting the utopian focus from urban form to the quality of civic life.
