Abstract
In the aftermath of the First World War, the architects of the Modern Movement developed a powerful imagery of both the physical form of the future city and the shape of the society likely to live there. The role of leisure as a component of the social imagery is discussed, with special reference to Le Corbusier's arguments in La Ville Radieuse. It is shown that the imagery of leisure, as with other aspects of social imagery, was tributary to, and largely served to legitimize, the physical imagery.
