Forms: form: utopographers
Etymology: Blend of utopia + topographer, probably coined by English writer Herbert George Wells (1866–1946) in his 1927 novel Meanwhile: The Picture of a Lady: see the quotation.
Senses: examples: text: Mr. Plantagenet-Buchan knitted his brows. "Utopographer? Or was it a Utopologist? Or Utopolitan? Not a bad word, Utopolitan. No—it was Utopographer. I read it in one of the weeklies downstairs, the Spectator or the Nation or the Saturday. We might lead the talk rather carelessly towards Utopias and see what happened."

text: Unlike utopographers who describe the future world as static and readymade, [Vladimir] Lenin shows the process and the mechanism through which "imperfect" socialists may move towards "perfect" communism: not by rocket, space ship, or time machine, but by long economic development under the auspices of socialist organizations.
