This work, edited by Roland Müller, explores the historical evolution and conceptualization of cities as dreamscapes and ideal urban forms. The book is a compendium of scholarly discussions presented at the 50th annual conference, examining various urban models and architectural philosophies from different periods, including the early modern Southwest Germany, the 19th century, and the avant-garde movements of the 1920s. The text delves into the symbolic significance of urban planning, contrasting the geometric ideal cities with more dynamic and irregular designs. Key discussions include the critique of utopian ideals, the impact of political thought on city architecture, and the influence of historical models on modern urban planning. The book is primarily aimed at academics, historians, and urban planners interested in the intersection of architecture, history, and societal ideals.
