«Город будущего» в культуре: Ленинград и Тель-Авив (Белый город)

The 'White City of Tel Aviv' and Soviet-era Leningrad exemplify how ideological visions shaped urban futures. Both cities embodied the 20th-century concept of visualizing future space, reflecting shifts in philosophical and cultural paradigms. Tel Aviv's Bauhaus-inspired architecture—over 4,000 buildings in an international style—contrasted with Leningrad's constructivist designs, such as factory-kitchens and communal dwellings, both serving ideological functions. The study argues that these urban projects represent conceptual art, demonstrating how ideology influences architectural form to redefine space. By comparing European utopian models (e.g., Ebenezer Howard’s 'Garden Cities') with Soviet and Israeli implementations, the research highlights the interplay between aesthetics, function, and political intent in shaping modern cities.
