Ville Radieuse

Ville Radieuse, or "Radiant City," is a concept designed by architect Le Corbusier to create ideal urban environments. It envisions organized, modern cities with tall, efficient buildings separated by green spaces, promoting health and order. The layout encourages sunlight, airflow, and easy movement, aiming to improve living conditions and reduce congestion. The idea reflects modernist ideals of functionalism, emphasizing rational planning and efficiency over traditional, crowded city layouts. While influential, some critics feel it can overlook community and human scale, focusing instead on geometric harmony and technological progress.
