The Ideal City takes a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to rethinking how we could design, plan, build and share our cities going forward.
Research and design lab SPACE10 and publishing house gestalten have teamed up to gather world-leading architects, designers, researchers, entrepreneurs, city planners and community leaders in a new book that explores a better way forward for our shared home: the city.
The Ideal City features experts ranging from legendary urban designer Jan Gehl to transportation entrepreneur Robin Chase; from starchitect Bjarke Ingels to the interdisciplinary design studio Urban Think Tank; and from the largest intergovernmental organisation, the United Nations, to a small community-led policing program in the Kwanlin Dün First Nation in Canada.
The book unfolds projects from 53 different cities in 30 different countries — from ideas for innovative food and energy production to schemes for diverse and inclusive housing and mobility.
