A shining new shopping centre is being built in the centre of Liverpool in an attempt to 'revitalise' it in the best tradition of city planning. Yet some shops on recently built estates in the city centre are closing because of vandalism. This is a ghetto situation - people in a community turning on themselves.
What do town planners have to do with this? They claim with their expertise in the social sciences to be able to arbitrate between the vital forces of a city. Filmed entirely in Liverpool, Horizon asks: what power has the planner got and what criteria does he employ in using it?
