This is American History tv. Each week reel america rings you archival films to tell stories of the 20th century. Up next, the city. Predicting the postworld war ii growth of suburbs. The view is that modern cities are unhealthy and land. Ommunities are a better option 56 of the u. S. Population lives in urban areas when it was made. A century or two ago, we build our church. Say we could have our say about the taxes. We know our rights and duties and no harm if we disagree. We neighbors hold together in all that matters. Sunork from son to dark to dark. Something foreign that we look at in a case. It is in the locks and hinges that the blacksmith shapes. It is in the woven baskets. Betterterwheels are fitted to do the work than human hands, we rig up the machines. A while ago, that corn was on the stock above the pumpkins right in yellow. Timebors did the job in no so they could clear the barn floor and choose their favorite partners for the dances. There was lasting harmony between the soil and what we planted there. We used our hands and mastered what we laid our hands on. We found a balance. The town was us and we were part of it. We never let cities grow too big for us to manage. We never push the open land too far away. We youngsters took it in. Years ofes have good family life, our own, our children, mellow years before pee right fruit salad ri fruit fell. The seed ready was ready for the earth again. Forget the quiet, bring in the steam and steel. All aboard. The promised land. Pillars of smoke i day and pillars of fire by night. Machines to make machines. Already made. ,nough for 10,000, millions faster and faster, better and better. It does not make us any happier to know there are millions like us living here. Prisons were a guy who commits a crime can get a better place to live than we can give our children. Smoke makes prosperity, they tell you. Smoke makes prosperity, no matter if you choke on it. Life in these shacks and alleys and letter children take their chances here with typhoid or worse. They draw a blank, the kids. They have no business here, this no mans land. Poison the air we breathe. Poison the river. The fog and smoke chokes us. Dont tell us this is the best you can do in building cities. Who built this place . What put it here question mark how do we get out again question mark we are asking, just asking. Midas will stay in the mills and call that home might as well stay in the mills and call that home. We lock the bolt on the assembly line. Lucky if we have a chance to keep a job from day to day, month to month. The dirty work alone dont get us down. Were not ashamed to handle cool and iron all the way for mine shafts to skyscrapers. How does that make sense . We never get the gritty feel out of our nose, her eyes, our lungs. We never get a chance to see how blue the sky can be unless the mills are all shut down. Smoke makes prosperity, they say. This mean there is no way out for us . Why cant we have it . A decent home . Follow the crowd, it get the big money. Follow the crowd, we have reached one million, 2 million, 5 million. It is new and automatic, sterilizes in one operation without human hands. Who is next . Follow the crowd to the fashion city, the windy city, the imperial city. Most sincerely. We beg to remain yours most respectfully. Dear sir [voices murmuring] who is on call . Dr. Nichols . Another street case. Try the eighth floor. Crushed leg. [indiscernible] internal hemorrhage, ruptured spleen. Ctor. S, do this new age builds a better kind of city close to the soil. Planes are shaped for speed. New cities take form, green cities. They are built into the countryside. They are not allowed to overcrowd. The new city is organized to make operations possible between the sheehan and nature between machines and nature. Each has its place. Safe streets are quiet neighborhoods are built into the pattern and built to stay there. It flows from powerhouses to factories and laboratories. Science serves the worker and i worked together making machines more automatic and the men who govern them more human. About. O spread work andn even walk to have their lunch at home sometimes. Where peopleburb play at living in the country. The city speaks to cooperation. Each group is grouped each house is grouped with other houses. Around these green communities, the children need the earth for playing and growing. Ring the city into the country, ringing the parks and gardens back into the city, never letting cities grow too big to manage. This works as well for modern living as it didnt old new england towns as it did in old new england towns. We live a decent kind of life. We fathers have little time to watch our kids and play with them. They see us in the daytime. The people who laid out this place did not forget that air and sunshine are what we need for growing, whether it is flowers or babies, just watch us grow. Scales wont hold us soon. We learn by living. Playground, schools, libraries are meant for everyone. The wife need not feel cooped up and lonely on washing day. The daily marketing is part of the fun. The market is in annex to the kitchen. Another chance to chat about the children or the weather or some new wrinkle in the diet the grandma never knew. Most of the green is brought in by truck by nearby farms. They are fresh and crisp and have not lost their flavor. The school becomes the focus of the community. Boys and girls live the life around them, giving the measure of our bigger world. City and school and land inactive and active partnership. Boys and girls achieve a balanced personality ready to build and meet the world, facing a good and bad, choosing the best. You take your choice. Each one is possible. Shall we think deeper question mark deeper . Paying for blight with human misery. Shall we build and rebuild our cities clean again close to the earth, open to the sky . We afford a house, a neighborhood as good as this for everyone question mark the moran question is, can we afford all of this disorder . These are future citizens. You take your choice. Each one is real, each one is possible. Order and life together. Weve got the skill and we found a way. Although we know about machines and soil and ron materials and human ways of living is waiting. We can reproduce the pattern and better at a thousand times. City, writerhe new to serve ready to serve a better age. You and your children, the choice is yours.
