摘要:Frane Petrić’s The Happy Town (Sretni grad) is unquestionably one of many historic attempts at conceptualising a perfect place for the life and well-being of humans. This Renaissance philosopher, following Aristotle, outlined the location, social structure, educational model, and other elements of a polis that he believed would solve the shortcomings of the cities and states of his time. To what extent does his picture of the ideal city fit into today’s modern context? Which ideas could and should function, and which are marked by the spirit and limitations of his time? Consequently, what universal values still have the same worth and necessity as they did hundreds of years ago?
