This urban rewenal promotion from the 1960's makes some good points about the ugliness of American cities, pollution, cheap development, and the unhealthy mix of pedestrian and car, yet it points to some ugly, monolith monstrosities of 1960's architecture as better. Disorder or design? Ugliness or beauty? Is it in the eye of the beholder, or is the film's sponsor (The American Institute of Architects) trying to cash in on the new 1960's federal goverenment urban renewal funds? Hard to tell.
