Fourier's phalanstery as a social palace

Charles Fourier was a French philosopher and an early socialist thinker, being part of the the progressist ideological model. He tried to find a [[ Utopian visions of towns | utopian solution ]] to the complex housing issue. He envisioned the Phalanstery as a social palace (copying the shape of the Palace from Versailles in plan) that could accommodate around 1600 people in a close-knit community with individual functions and a plethora of common functions. This embodied the living in a community principle very well.
