How do cities evolve as complex spaces nurturing both urban creativity and the fortuitous art of discovery, and by which mechanisms do they foster imagination and innovation? While past utopias were conceived in terms of an ideal geometry, contemporary exemplary models of urban design seek technological solutions of optimal organisation. The Venice Variations explores Venice as a prototypical city that may hold unique answers to the ancient narrative of utopia. Venice was not the result of a preconceived ideal but the pragmatic outcome of social and economic networks of communication. Its urban creativity, though, came to represent the quintessential combination of place and institutions of its time. 588 0 Print version record. 590 JSTOR|bBooks at JSTOR Open Access 650 0 City planning|zItaly|zVenice.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2009119927 650 0 Utopias.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85141635 650 7 City planning.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/862177 650 7 Utopias.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1163359 651 0 Venice (Italy)|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79018142 651 7 Italy|zVenice.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204473 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aPSARRA, SOPHIA.|tVENICE VARIATIONS. |d[Place of publication not identified] : UCL PRESS, 2018 |z1787352412|w(OCoLC)1013592375 856 40 |uhttps://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctvqhspn|zOnline eBook.
