Frankenstein and the Literary Method of Urban Design

The Frankencities Project utilizes The Literary Method of Urban Design, whereupon urban futures are designed and developed according to the themes of influential works of literary fiction. For our 'Frankencities', the selected literary work drawn upon is Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.

An explanation of The Literary Method of Urban Design appears in this recently published article in The Conversation, which includes a short educational film.

Here, below, is the film's trailer.

For other uses of The Literary Method of Urban Design, see this site devoted to cities inspired by Utopia.
