Cities at the Breaking Point: Part 2: The Move to Paradise

on BBC Two England

As the old, densely populated inner areas of our cities are wiped out by the planners and their demolition men, the people are being moved, thousands-at a time, to the new semi-rural estates on the edge of town.

The new homes have picture windows, central heating, constant hot water, and inside lavatories. But the newcomers soon learn that it takes more than these creature comforts to make a working man's paradise. The new estates make demands. Paradise must be paid for. And if the people have not the resources, human and financial, to pay the bill, it can become a nightmare even while it is still being built.
