Sustainability, Feminist Visions, and the Utopian Tradition

Daphne Spain

School of Architecture at the University of Virginia

This article examines the similarities between sustainable and feminist ideal communities as successors to the utopian tradition. Its purpose is to place feminism and sustainability in a historic context within the profession and to acknowledge the importance of utopian visions. Utopian, feminist, and sustainable visions of the future all include an emphasis on the noneconomic components of quality of life, the collectivization of domestic tasks, the influence of design on social structure, and an anti-urban/suburban bias. Most important, they all share the belief that it is possible to change cities by imagining a more equitable future.
