going places 1948

(the description at this link for the film is refering to a different film of the same name… see the comments)

this 2 dvd set should be really good but if you want to hear the story of sprawl just spend several hours watching all the urban planning, suburbia, transport, highway videos on archive.org (prelinger archives)in chronological order
