Abstract
Andreae, a priest in the dukedom of Wurttemberg, Germany, wrote a Utopia "Christianopolis" (Strassburg, 1619). It is said that this story, as one of the traditional European utopias since ancient times, shows a new concept of the Christian communities and has many factors of modern city planning. In this essay, I pointed out Andreae's intention and analyzed the city form, the distribution of urban-functions, the systems of scale and city life. Finally I compared these features of Christianopolis with those of contemporary cities in Europe.
