City of the Future - Desired Landscape

Abstract

The moments in history in which the future-hope relationship became more relevant coincided with great technological changes. This is how it is observed from the XV century with the appearance of the ideal cities and the Utopia, then with the Industrial Revolution and the proposals of the utopian socialists and already in the XX century, the modern movement in architecture and urbanism, perhaps the humanity’s last great utopia, to culminate in the last stage of this movement, in the shadow of space technology. The look at the present time is developed from the refections of Pierre Levy and Michel Serres, announcing a future city in the context of knowledge and communication.
