Introduction: The Gramscian Framework Antonio Gramsci (1891–1937), the Italian Marxist philosopher and politician, did not leave behind a systematic treatise on urban planning. However, his concepts of hegemony , civil society , the organic intellectual , and the modern Prince provide a powerful framework for imagining “la città futura” (the future city). Unlike technocratic or purely aesthetic urban visions, Gramsci’s city is first and foremost a political space—a terrain of struggle, education, and cultural transformation.
