Landscape and utopia This book examines three landmark utopian visions in 20th century landscape architectural planning and architectural theory. The period between the 1890s and the 1940s was a fertile time for utopian thinking. Significant geographic shifts of large populations; radically altered relations between capital and labour; rapid technological developments; large investments in transportation and energy infrastructure; and repetitive economic disruptions motivated many individuals to wholly reimagine society including the connections between social relations and the built environment. Landscape and Utopia examines the role of landscapes in the political imaginations of the Garden City the Radiant City and Broadacre City. Each project uses landscapes to propose a reconstruction of the relationships between land labor and capital but whilst the projects are well known the role played by landscapes has been largely left unexamined. Similarly the radical anti capitalism that underpinned each project has similarly been for the most part left out of contemporary discussions. This book sets these projects within a historical and philosophical context and opens a discussion on the role of landscapes in society today. This book will be a must read for instructors students and researchers of the history and theory of landscape architecture planning and architecture as well as utopian studies cultural and social history and environmental theory
