Description
This idealized vision of urban planning was designed by architect Ernest M. Hebrard and first published in 1913 as part of Creation of a World Centre of Communication by Hendrick Christian Andersen. It presents an orderly utopian city emanating from a central communications tower in Congress Square.
The Center for Art is connected to the Center of Government by the Avenue of Nations, with surrounding residential districts divided into six quarters designed to accommodate 1 million residents. Theaters and operas, built in Neoclassical style, dot the dense city streets. Vast public gardens, abundant recreational spaces, and communal amenities like hospitals and transportation centers are located on the outskirts.
