The project Cityless City is an answer to the uncontrolled urban proliferation, that Europe experienced in the first decades of the 20th century. Wijdeveld was worried that cities grow too fast, and in an unorganised manner, which would lead to their collapse. He proposed the organic integration of human habitats and nature in the model of a metropolis. Historical centres would remain intact, and relatively closed off. The new living areas would be concentrated in high-rise buildings along radial boulevards, which would be surrounded by large parks.
