The perfect city is yet to be built, but through collective actions the next generation could have it in sight. In ‘The Ideal City’ Space10 has teamed up with Gestalten to investigate the utopia of the ideal city.

Urban life is humankind’s biggest experiment to date, our cities are constantly evolving and adapting to climate and economy. The cities we have today are not necessarily the ones we need, but big and small innovation is rethinking visions of urbanization.

As technology and urban life edge ever closer, The Ideal City explores the ambitious actions and initiatives being brought to life across the globe to meet tomorrow’s demand in clever, forwarding-thinking ways. From pedestrian infrastructure to housing, the book uncovers what is being discussed at the forefront of urbanism through expert essays and profiles.

We are thrilled to have the Urban Village Project included as a reference in the book. In this project we investigated how to build diverse multigenerational communities centered around affordable, sustainable and liveable principles in an urban context.

The book is avaible now from Gestalten.
