suitable accommodation for all

In Utopia, Thomas Moore himself describes a dystopian kingdom, where “the nobles and gentlemen” are “even tearing down houses and demolishing whole towns” in search of greater incomes. Krishan Kumar states that, “Architecture has always been the most utopian of all the arts” and suggests that the City has always played an important role in utopian literature. This could be because shelter is one of the principal human needs. It may follow, that a desire for improved housing conditions, might inspire us to envisage a brighter future, with suitable accommodation for all.
