The Green City (1963, sound)

Description: Description: "Shows how green space and open space is being thoughtlessly gobbled up by the urbanizing process. Demonstrates how development can take place without excessive destruction and illustrates various situations in different parts of the country. Describes man's changing environment and foretells the consequences if this change is permitted to take place without careful planning." - Library of Congress, The National Union Catalog, Motion Pictures and Filmstrips, 1963-1967 Reuse Statement: For information on reusing Prelinger Archives footage and obtaining written usage agreements, please visit www.prelinger.com.
