The fundamental problem with utopian vision usually isn't its bets on the future, it's the fact that there's no meaningful feedback loop. Typically, such a vision is the self-centered self-expression of some mogul or architect or politician who hopes to reshape the world, but does not understand the world and the people who live in the world, and will never bear the burden of the failures of his design. See, for instance, Le Corbusier's Ville Radieuse, or even Frank Lloyd Wright's Broadacre City.
