The City

New_york_cityIn 1939, a movie was made by the American Institute of Planners that presented an alternative to urban chaos. Is it suburbia or is it smart growth? One may draw their own conclusions as to how this "new city" would have been realized. If the music and camera work don't grab you, perhaps you'll enjoy the entertaining narration. One tasty soundbite from this flick: "You can't tell where the playing ends and where the work begins. We mix them here." Sounds like my kind of utopia.
