Written in 1893, A Dream of an Ideal City is a very short treatise on a very long topic. The author, Albert Kimsey 
Owen1, was a civil engineer (when there weren't  many, according to US census reports) and a dreamer,
part of which was a vision of a Utopian community situated in Mexico on the Gulf of California. 
There is so much about this planned community that is suggested in these few short pages that it is 
hard to summarize,  because the text is mostly summary—so I think I'll just quote from it at length from the online 
copy at the Internet Archive. (And frankly sumamrizing a bouncing summary like this that is nothing but very long 
sentences and very many commas would just be too annoying a process for the end result. Reading the quotes though
 is perfectly fine if not tiring.)

Overall View, Placement and Work:

• “I love to dream of the citizens in a large community being associated, for life’s work, in one great firm incorporated to build, by and for themselves, the best appointed, the most beautiful, and the greatest city on earth; a park residence, a city in which the metropolis, with its facilities,
  entertainments and cultures, and the country, with its green fields, hedgerows and shades; a seaside resort, where surf-bathing, fishing and yachting will be only an hour’s remove from the places
  of industry, commerce and home; every citizen may have self-appointed employments, a sufficiency of
  this world’s goods, and an elegant leisure in which to enjoy life with all its well-appointed pleasures and
  modern advantages.”

Here’s another section of a sentence that seems almost to never end in spite of it varied contents:

• “…the municipality being laid out, built up and managed with order, system and authority from the
  start to the finish — of the plan being studied, fixed and approved, before a step has been taken to execute the work — of the construstion of stone piers, the laying of giant sea-walls fronting the Straits of Joshua
  and Ohuira Bay, the digging of canals to extend and improve the water front, the planting of palms- along
  these great quays, the eredting of model blocks, the opening and shading of thoroughfares, the establishing
  and perfecting of varied and useful home industries upon areas reserved especially for them, and the
  building and furnishing for each resident family of a handsome and permanent home from the centre,
  solidly and rapidly to the four quarters of the compass, over one of the fairest plains, and in one of the
  most health-giving localities ever selected for the dwelling-place of mankind.”
