The Ville Contemporaine ( French pronunciation: [vil kɔ̃tɑ̃pɔʁɛn], Contemporary City) was an unrealised project to house three million inhabitants designed by the French-Swiss architect Le Corbusier in 1922. The centerpiece of this plan was a group of sixty-story cruciform skyscrapers built on steel frames and encased in curtain walls of glass.
