# Le Corbusier publishes La Ville radieuse, the high-rise park-city doctrine of towers, zoning, and the death of the street

Date: 1933

## The fact

In 1933 [Le Corbusier](/people/le-corbusier) issued La Ville radieuse, assembling the Radiant City: sun, space, greenery, strict zoning, and the street as a condemned corridor. He did not pour every later slab. Cohesion here is the proposed death of mixed street life. Housing access as a possible improving twin is stored on Unité, not cloned here.

Shared responsibility is part of Le Corbusier publishes La Ville radieuse, the high-rise park-city doctrine of towers, zoning, and the death of the street. Naming Le Corbusier does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1933-01-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.

## Evidence and sources

Fondation Le Corbusier independently lists the urban writings. Britannica independently treats Radiant City / high-rise urbanism as his doctrine. MoMA independently collects the modern-movement paper trail. No unique 1933 municipal adoption is claimed.

## Significance

A portable anti-street doctrine is a cohesion path with a long administrative afterlife. High confidence on the book; later failures of towers-in-park are reception plus other authors.
