Wealthy people were not going to live in the skyscrapers[edit]

every one of corbusier's city designs had outlying suburbs meant for the wealthy. the poor and the middleclass would live in the towers. this article has obviously not been fact-checked, so I am going to ask for citations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.64.114.170 (talk) 12:40, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Citation would be helpful etc[edit]

I think this article should be marked as a stub! first of all. The Contemporary City for 3 million people has tons of images available in hard format. Recently published was Seeing Like A State: A new novel focused on the mapping and circulation through urban spaces, largely focusing on Le Corbusier's Contemporary city. link to follow to the novel http://mises.org/daily/5101 The Contemporary city's importance is very prominent in any studies done on urban planning and architecture. MIT Urban Studies has a great thesis here by Marybeth Shaw here http://mises.org/daily/5101 containing many images that may either be under no license or a University one, although I doubt MIT owns those images; they're common images of the city. Corbusier's work here is an essential topic for any student pursuing B arch. It's usually compared historically in essay papers, to the Huassmann boulevards (1853) cut through Paris and displayed a very purposeful notion toward authoritarianism in the various subtle modes of population control through urban planning similar to Le Corbusier theorized about and took an interest into solving the problems of urban congestion and paths of circulation through the urban. So please, possibly a contributor of the Le Corbusier article should touch this one up; an important part of Corbusier's experimentations with urban planning, as well as an important unrealized project of Paris's history —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.119.217.8 (talk) 16:03, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
