The Ville Radieuse
The Ville Radieuse, or "The Radiant City," is an urban planning concept developed by the French architect Le Corbusier in the 1930s. It envisions a modern city designed for efficiency and harmony, featuring high-rise buildings surrounded by green spaces. The layout emphasizes open areas, sunlight, and fresh air, promoting a healthier lifestyle for residents.
The design includes distinct zones for living, working, and recreation, aiming to reduce congestion and improve quality of life. Le Corbusier believed that architecture and urban planning could transform society, making cities more functional and aesthetically pleasing while addressing the needs of modern life.
