An example of a utopian plan for a community is New Harmony, Indiana. Horrified by the urban nightmares of industrialized and overcrowded 19th Century cities like London and New York, New Harmony was offered planned as a utopian alternative. Demonstrating the power of flexible idealism, it even survived a generational change from religious separatists to secular reformers. With buildings by Philip Johnson and Newark-native Richard Meier, it also features built architecture that continues to strive to lift people up and change lives.
