The Cities of Le Corbusier...Creating Reality or Predicting the Future?

Towers in a park or in a parking lot, high-rise projects have been erected in cities all over the world in the 60s 70s and onwards – we all know them. Sometimes these work but often they are a disaster, frequently demolished and dismissed as a flawed premise about how to build a city! How did these happen? If we trace back we find that fingers (especially those of urban planners) are pointing towards Le Corbusier. Charles Edouard Jeanneret, there is hardly a more charged character in the spatial arts and sciences. In this video, I try to understand how the avant-guard plans that Corbu came up with in the 20s influenced and inspired so much of what had been built in the Great Cities of planet Earth. The music you can hear at the end of this film is a composition "Cylinder Six" By Chris Zabriskie; You can listen to the entire piece here:    • Видео   If your curiosity about Corbu's urban has been sparked here are some of my sources for further reading: Le Corbusier, 1929: The City of To-morrow and Its Planning Peter Hall, 1988: Cities of Tomorrow – Chapter 7: The City of Towers Robert Fishman, 1977: Urban Utopias in the Twentieth Century Wade Graham, 2016: Dream Cities: Seven Urban Ideas That Shape the World – Chapter 3: Slabs Witold Rybczynski, 2010: Makeshift Metropolis: Ideas about Cities – Chapter 2: Three Big Ideas William J.
