    Tony Garnier's Une Cite' Industrielle (1918) proposed a detailed plan for an industrial city with 35,000 inhabitants that incorporated utopian and modernist visions. The decentralized plan included residential, industrial, and recreational areas separated by green spaces and pedestrian zones. All facilities were carefully planned, with housing organized into blocks oriented for maximum sunlight and ventilation. Concrete construction was emphasized to allow for open floor plans and rooftop gardens. The plan exemplified Garnier's vision of using urban planning principles to address the social and industrial problems of the time.

    Tony Garnier's vision proposed what he saw as a solution to the problems that faced man and society at that time. In his praise, Edouard Herriot said: This builder, this realistic person, was spontaneously human. His sensitivity was only equal to his modesty. His culture proved to be often surprising. Indeed, Tony Garnier was a master, with all the nobleness and intelligence included in this word. A master, which means a guide and an example But the Man was as admirable as the scholar; his moral qualities were equal to his genius.
