Doxiadis, Constantinos A.
Between Dystopia and Utopia - Hartford The Trinity College Press 1966 - 92 pp 14 x 20 cm
A book by Doxiadis on Ekistics, the science of human development. Synopsis: "In order to create the cities of the future, we need to systematically develop a science of human settlements. This science, termed Ekistics, will take into consideration the principles man takes into account when building his settlements, as well as the evolution of human settlements through history in terms of size and quality. The target is to build the city of optimum size, that is, a city which respects human dimensions. Since there is no point in resisting development, we should try to accommodate technological evolution and the needs of man within the same settlement."
