How planners and architects took to the skies to redesign Scottish towns and cities.

How powered flight and photography changed how the world is understood. This episode reveals how planners and architects took to the skies to redesign Scottish towns and cities.

Presenter James Crawford reveals how planners and architects took to Scotland's skies after World War II and used the god's-eye view in their mission to redesign towns and cities across the Central Belt. From one of Scotland's first tower blocks, through New Town living to the building of a motorway that ripped through the heart of Glasgow, James reveals how these utopian and controversial visions have transformed our lives and how we're living with the legacy to this day.
