New Town Propaganda

Saturday December 24, 2005
Enjoy this 1948 animated film designed to spark interest in "New Towns" in the United Kingdom following the Second World War. Twenty-nine new towns were built in the UK in the post-war period to reduce overcrowding in cities and to provide replacement housing for those homes damaged or destroyed during the war. The eight minute cartoon, Charley in New Town, covers urban geography topics such as greenbelts, city planning, zoning, and more.
