Abstract

This paper deals with the importance of discussing a contemporary utopia fac¬ing the globalized world. The theme is developed through an architectural and urbanistic approach concerning particularly great metropolises. Every utopia supposes the existence of an ideal city. A fair society living in harmony, as many times described, is a main condition to a healthy urban space in balance with nature. Up to the middle of the 20th century, technological development was sup¬posed to be achieved for the good of humanity. That was not confirmed at the end of the century. This paper aims to discuss this contradiction.
