49 Cities Exhibit

I recently got to check out the 49 Cities exhibit currently on display at the SPUR Urban Center in San Francisco. The exhibit shows incredibly detailed drawings – at the same scale – of different utopian cities. There’s an accompanying book available for sale here.

From the SPUR website:

A survey of utopian urbanism, 49 Cities provides a remarkable insight into the contemporary metropolis and our efforts over time to make cities more controllable, monumental, organic, taller, denser, sparser or greener.
