The seminal work The Radiant City presents a revolutionary blueprint for urban living, advocating for a meticulously planned metropolis designed for efficiency and human well-being. This influential text chronicles Le Corbusier's utopian vision, detailing a future where standardized architecture and vast green spaces replace chaotic traditional cities. It argues for a complete re-imagining of urban landscapes, proposing a functionalist approach to housing, transportation, and public life. The volume illustrates a bold, prescriptive philosophy that profoundly shaped 20th-century architectural and urban planning discourse, offering a compelling, albeit controversial, model for modern civilization.
