Abstract: In utopian ideology with a distant source, the city takes an important position and is often considered as the symbol of the state. Different thinkers’ imaginations of ideal cities have basic similarities about concerned issues, which possesses a historical continuity. Since the 16th century, modern utopian cities have been such ideal communities that they are established on the basis of humanism, collectivism, communism and Christian fraternity, displaying an antagonism against realist urbanization. But the complement and maintenance of justice, order and harmony are achieved by way of the powerful, integrated government of the state as well as the consistence of ensured behaviors.
Key words: Utopia, fiction about utopian socialism, city
