1x2 The City: Cars or People?
Season 1 Episodes
6 episodes
1. The City: Heaven and Hell
Outlines the opposed natures — creative and destructive — of the city throughout history, focusing on the elements that created the first cities about 5000 years ago and the forces that now threaten our "most precious collective invention."
2. The City: Cars or People?
A study of an old but still-growing problem: how to ensure the city is accessible to all without allowing cars to make it congested and uninhabitable.
3. The City and Its Region
Explores the tension and mutual dependence of urban and rural areas. How can sprawling metropolitan regions maintain or restore the balance?
4. The Heart of the City
A study of the growing sterility, dullness and congestion that is destroying the vitality, variety and human scale that once made cities physically attractive and humanly creative.
5. The City as Man's Home
Contrasts the squalor of the working poor with the relative safety and security of the wealthy, asking what can be done to address "the spirit of social hopelessness" that thrives in the overcrowded slums where cities' poorest residents live.
6. The City and the Future
An outline of the prospects for the city and some suggestions to restore its role as the focus of man's highest achievements.
