Mumford begins with a survey of the major utopias, some well-known, others less so. His survey takes a look at Plato's Republic, More's Utopia, Andreæ's Christanopolis, Bacon's New Atlantis, Campanella's City of the Sun, Fourier's Phalanxes, Cabet's Icaria, Bellamy's Looking Backward, Morris' News from Nowhere, and finally H.G. Wells' utopian fiction. In the final portion of the book Mumford explores the prospects for Utopia and relates it to the realities of urban planning. The Story of Utopias is a great introduction to this fascinating subject -- a4/6900aUtopias915822LEMB 2lccc6hHX806kGeneralmM7 1962 c214154d214154 00102lcc4070a4b4c33d2009-09-08eamazong19.99i442785l2m1oGeneral HX806 M7 1962p91000000005595r2017-04-03 00:00:00s2017-03-20t1v29.99w0000-00-00y6
