_Description_
This video explores Ludwig Hilberseimer’s radical urban vision for Chicago in the 1940s and 50s that reimagined urban living. His plan was to transform Chicago into a city of decentralized, self-sufficient islands. This concept was based on the idea of functional zoning and accessible green spaces, and it sought to enhance the quality of life and ensure sustainable development. Hilberseimer's ideas were influenced by the Bauhaus movement, and his theories were partially realized in Detroit's Lafayette Park neighborhood.
