L’utopia e la città

  • Giandomenico Amendola

The chapter traces the enduring relationship between utopia and the ideal city, from classical philosophy to contemporary urbanism. Drawing on thinkers such as Mannheim, Lefebvre, Popper and Mumford, it explores utopia's dual role as social critique and engine of change. The city emerges as both the privileged site and the embodiment of utopian imagination, from Renaissance designs to Enlightenment visionary architecture.
