Monocle 'PERFECT CITY' illustrated by #satoshihashimoto

In Monocle's publication focusing on urban development, Satoshi Hashimoto, illustrates an idealized city.

The illustrations showcase innovative urban design ideas, such as converting unused spaces into pop-up pools and transforming abandoned areas into community areas like theaters or gyms.

Satoshi's work, in combination with the text by @joshfehnert aims to highlight potential improvements in urban planning and encourage a reevaluation of city spaces.
The concept centers around 25 distinct ideas, influenced by global examples such as Lisbon's #quiosques, Turin's #porticoes, and Tokyo's public toilets. These examples are brought to life through Satoshi's fun and colorful illustrations, emphasizing the blend of functionality and enjoyment in urban design.
The Perfect City gives us all an insight into how urban spaces can be designed to foster community interaction and enhance the quality of city life.
