masterplans of ideal cities

Minimal Map Collection presents a curated selection of ideal cities designed from the Renaissance to the 20th century, whose master plans remain legible and well preserved.

These urban archetypes—stars, circles, and rectangular grids—reflect the geometric and symbolic principles underlying their original designs. They emphasize spatial clarity, urban hierarchy, social order, and the relationship between public, civic, and defensive structures.

Together, the maps illustrate a long-standing pursuit of order and perfection in urban form, expressed through a minimalist visual language.
