Editorial Reviews

The Changing City discusses of the problems cities faced due to big business, population growth, and urban sprawl. It has many scenes of Orange County suburbia in the early 60's. Full of wonderful cultural footage, there are excellent aerial shots, billboards, advertisements for new housing developments, shopping malls and more. The film outlines the logistical issues such traffic congestion in the cities, but goes even deeper into the psychological aspects of city life. Loneliness, boredom, and isolation that suburban housewives suffered from are illuminated: "Suburbia is exciting for children, but Mom may feel trapped and miss the stimulation of the city." Advice for city planners to help them avoid the pitfalls of urban sprawl caps off this fantastic historical movie on urbanization.
