Changes are essential to progress even if there is a price to be paid. This is the theme of the two DVDs in this set. The first DVD highlights the consequences of living in modern housing schemes-isolation and frustration. It also focuses on the benefits of housing schemes, the need to replace slums with modern homes and the hope that proper planning would prevent problems in the future. The second DVD is about the long-term benefits of industries, it also talks about the consequences of modernization-heritage buildings being destroyed to create space for car parks and stores being relocated to the suburbs. See how America was transformed and how the people reacted to the change!
