Urban Sprawl (ca. 1960s)

The film discusses the challenges of urban sprawl in the United States, driven by rapid population growth and industrialization. As people move from crowded cities to suburban areas in search of space, vast developments emerge, leading to the loss of agricultural land and open spaces. The construction of homes and infrastructure is often unplanned, resulting in administrative issues and neglected urban centers. Regional planning efforts are crucial to manage this growth sustainably, integrating housing, industry, and public services while preserving valuable land for agriculture and recreation. The film emphasizes the need for coordinated planning to address the ongoing population increase and ensure a balanced urban environment.
