Eminent cultural critic Lewis Mumford’s first book, The Story of Utopias, is a fascinating survey of the development of the concept of “utopia.” Mumford examines the major utopias—discussing Plato’s Republic and Thomas More’s Utopia, among others—concluding with a look at the prospects for utopia as it relates to the realities of urban planning.
