New Town - 1948

Check out this animation movie about New Towns development in England: sponsored by the Central Office of Information for Ministry of Town and Country Planning, it is a very interesting document that shows how catchy the idea at the time was... In his poppy way, the movie touches though arguments still being debated: which urban form would our protagonist, Charley, propose today?
