How has the quest for Utopia shaped American cities? Join urban planner and professor Alex Krieger as he explores the dreams and ideals that have long influenced our urban settlements, as told in his new book, “City on a Hill.”
From the Puritans’ view of the New World as a God-given paradise to the grand architecture and planning of Daniel Burnham, societies and reformers alike have applied their ideals of perfection to the built environment, with profound effects. Sometimes, one generation’s dream becomes the next one’s nightmare. Krieger’s book traces this uniquely American story and the wide-ranging consequences of Utopian thinking.
