The City And The Stars by Sir Arthur C Clarke
Men had built cities before, but never such a city as Diaspar. For millennia, its protective dome shut out decay and the danger of the outside world. It takes one unique man to break through Diaspar's stifling inertia and to discover the true nature of its invaders.
