Résumé

This study examines the spatial dialectics of utopia and dystopia in Ahmed Khaled Tawfik’s Utopia. It focuses on the division between the enclosed elite city of Utopia and the marginalized space of Al-Aghyar. Using a qualitative descriptive–analytical approach, the study analyzes architecture, economic conditions, symbolic boundaries, and restricted mobility. It shows that Utopia’s apparent prosperity depends on the exclusion and deprivation of Al-Aghyar. Space thus functions as an ideological mechanism that produces class inequality and dystopian social order.
