Embodied Utopias synopsis

Utopia has become a dirty word in recent studies on modernity, architecture, urban planning and gender studies. Many utopian designs now seem impractical, showing the arrogant disregard for the living experiences of ordinary people who daily use public and private public places.

The essays in Utopia argue that the gender-based body is the core of hopes and disappointments of modern utopia in cities and suburbs in the Americas, Europe and Asia. They re-evaluate utopian projects - masculine, feminine, colonial and progressive - in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

They are reviewing the valiant landscape at present. They are aware of the possibilities of a holistic approach to the urban future, to the changing spaces of cities and virtual landscapes..
