The article deals with the transformation of ideas about the ideal city. Three stages of the development of these ideas are distinguished and, referring to the relevant theories and concepts, their semantic load is analyzed. In the content of ideas about the ideal city, two main components are distinguished – social utopia and urban planning utopia. It is argued that at the present stage there is a significant decrease in the socio-utopian meaning in the content of ideas about the ideal city. It is proposed to discuss and further investigate the causes and consequences of the changes that have occurred.
