On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the birth of French architect and urban planner Tony Garnier (1869–1948) comes this reissued edition of ‘An Industrial City’, a global project for a utopian city he conceived early in the 20th century. The facsimile, a foundational yet lesser-known project in modern urban planning, is republished in a version that is faithful to the scale initially imagined by Garnier. It consists of 171 recently restored and digitised plates, printed on a set of unbound sheets to allow readers to recompose even the most extensive plans by arranging them side by side. Together, the plans, perspective drawings, and watercolours offer an innovative vision of the city.
