Description
“The book is structured in four parts. In part one,
literary and theoretical utopias from the early modern period to the nineteenth-century
are reconsidered. Part two investigates twentieth-century urban utopianism and
contemporary alternative settlements focusing on social and environmental issues,
activism and eco-village living. Part three looks to wider horizons in recent
practices in the non-affluent world, and Part four reviews a range of cases from
the author’s visits to specific sites.” (R)
