"La Città Nuova" (The New City) is a seminal architectural and urban design manifesto by the Italian architect Antonio Sant'Elia, conceived in 1913-1914. Although no actual construction was ever realized from his designs, Sant'Elia's visionary drawings and ideas were instrumental in the development of modernist and futurist architecture. His work on La Città Nuova was presented in a series of drawings that depicted a highly mechanized and industrialized city, with skyscrapers, vast monolithic structures, and networks of roads and railways, reflecting the technological dynamism and speed of the early 20th century.

Sant'Elia's La Città Nuova was characterized by its bold linear forms, innovative use of materials such as glass and steel, and the integration of infrastructure and architecture. The designs included features such as multi-level traffic circulation, with pedestrian walkways separated from the main thoroughfares, and massive buildings that combined residential, commercial, and industrial functions. The aesthetic of the project was heavily influenced by the industrial architecture of the time, as well as the burgeoning futurist movement, of which Sant'Elia was a part.

The manifesto associated with La Città Nuova was presented at the exhibition of the Nuove Tendenze group in Milan in 1914 and was later published as part of the futurist manifesto "L'architettura futurista" (Futurist Architecture) in August of the same year. In this manifesto, Sant'Elia expressed his belief that the old architectural forms were irrelevant in the modern world and that a new aesthetic had to be developed to accommodate the needs and aspirations of modern society.

Although Sant'Elia died young in World War I and thus his ideas remained largely theoretical, his work has had a lasting impact on the field of architecture. La Città Nuova continues to be celebrated as a pioneering work that anticipated many of the issues and challenges of urban design in the 20th and 21st centuries. Sant'Elia's drawings and writings have inspired generations of architects and urban planners, and his legacy is evident in the modernist movements that shaped the skylines of cities around the world.
