A Victory City

This is another example of an utopia and it is always interesting to find new attempts to get a “perfect” city, but it has some good an bad things. If we look at all the services that this city presents, we can find most of the basic elements that we need in a place to live, like houses, an industry (where the people can find a job), some stores too, places for entertainment, green areas, a lake, a hospital, etc. As a good thing , we can see that this Victory city would be able to accommodate up to 332,000 people in just a small area and that is what we, as good urban planers, always try to do. Otherwise could have such a city the same problem as Santiago has, i mean an uncontrollable grow up of his area.
But this example has some bad things in his organization as well. The order of the streets are more difficult as they should be, the distance between the industry area an the flats area is too short and it has not enough vegetation, and there is no diversity in the apartments. So for me has this city no wealth, becouse it is too structurade, it has no surprises and it has no diversity and that are the elements who give life to any place.
