Lewis Mumford on the City 1: The City - Heaven and Hell

Lewis Mumford on the City 1: The City - Heaven and Hell

The film originally aired in 1963. This first film in the series uses historic footage from all over the world for a kind of meditative effect, punctuated with Mumford's philosophical observations on the past, present, and future of cities.
