Özet: Throughout the history, philosophers searched out the alternative ways of reaching the ideal community. The cities of utopias which were produced from the Ancient Greek to the twentieth century, were designed as the spaces of hope; the cities were seen as the places of harmony, static, homogenity. There were Platon’s ‘The Republic’ (BC. 380-370), More’s ‘Utopia’ (1516), Campanella’s ‘City of the Sun’ (1623), Bacon’s ‘New Atlantis’ (1627), Cabet’nin ‘The Voyage to Icaria’ (1840), Bellamy’s ‘Looking Backward’ (1850-1898), Wells’ ‘A Modern Utopia’ (1905), Gilman’s ‘Herland’ (1915), Huxley’s ‘Island’ (1962), Callenbach’s ecological utopia ‘Ecotopia’ (1975), Le Guin’s ‘The Dispossessed’ among the utopias which were designed in cities.  At the new ecological utopias that were put forward in the end of the twentieth century, the cities were not being the places of ideal communities, but the places of disutopias. At the twenty-first century, the places of utopias are designed in rural areas, not in the big cities.
