  • The Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, or EPCOT, or E.P.C.O.T, is an unfinished concept for a planned community, intended to sit on a massive swath of undeveloped land near Orlando, Florida, that was developed by Walt Disney in collaboration with the designers at Walt Disney Imagineering in the 1960s. Based on ideas stemming from modernism and futurism, and inspired by architectural literature about city planning, Disney intended EPCOT to be a utopian autocratic company town. One of the primary stated aims of EPCOT was to replace urban sprawl as the organizing force of community planning in the United States in the 1960s. EPCOT would be a real city, Disney intended, and it was planned to feature commercial, residential, industrial and recreational centers, connected by a mass multimodal transportation system, that would, he said, "Never cease to be a living blueprint of the future.'" After Disney's death in 1966, the plans for EPCOT were eventually abandoned. Later, upon the opening of Walt Disney World in 1971, EPCOT served as the inspiration and namesake for the resort's eponymous theme park, and the nearby planned community of Celebration, Florida. Several components and aesthetic designs of the original EPCOT vision survived and evolved into elements of the modern-day Disney World park, including the Walt Disney World Monorail System and the Disney utilidor system.

  • L'Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow ("Prototipo sperimentale di comunità del futuro") detta anche Experimental Prototype City of Tomorrow ("Prototipo sperimentale di città del futuro"), abbreviato in EPCOT, è un'utopica città del futuro pianificata da Walt Disney a partire dagli anni sessanta, qualche anno prima della sua morte, avvenuta nel 1966. L'idea di base era quella di creare una sorta di "comunità del futuro" (da qui il nome), nonché stimolare il mercato immobiliare statunitense in tal senso, attraverso nuove tecniche e metodologie abitative. Dopo la morte di Walt Disney, il progetto si evolse, dando vita al parco di divertimenti omonimo, l'Epcot, che aprì le porte al pubblico di massa nel 1982, presso il Walt Disney World Resort e che poco (o nulla) aveva a che vedere col progetto originale di Disney.

  • EPCOT, acrônimo para Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow (Protótipo Experimental Comunidade do Amanhã), foi um conceito desenvolvido por Walt Disney perto do fim de sua vida que foi tão longe quanto as visões e planos, e a compra da propriedade perto de Orlando, Florida, que eventualmente se tornou o parque do Walt Disney World, que incluiu o Epcot um conceito relacionado. Era uma "comunidade do futuro" que foi projetada para estimular corporações americanas a ter novas ideias para a vida urbana. O conceito evoluiu finalmente no parque temático, originalmente Epcot-center, que abriu em 1982 no parque do Walt Disney World. A maqueta original do conceito pode ser vista na Tomorrowland Transit Authority (a estação de trem na Terra do amanhã) no Magic Kingdom. (O parque do "castelo mágico," ou "reino mágico," da Disney World). (pt)
