Film: The City

Made for the 1939 World's Fair, this classic documentary film shows four phases of town building in the United States. The New England town, with its central plaza; the unstructured industrial community which produces pollution and human wastes; the teeming metropolis; and the new decentralized community, planned for space and the segregation of work and play are all shown.
