  • Details of the fountain and Broadway Gardens at the centre of Letchworth<br />
In 1898 Ebenezer Howard published his book "Tomorrow: A Peaceful Path to Reform" (later "Garden Cities of Tomorrow") founding the Garden Cities Association. His plan was to create a new, planned  settlement that combined the best of town and country - the first of which became Letchworth Garden City in 1903, laid out by architects Barry Parker and Raymond Unwin. It was followed in 1920 by a second garden city at Welwyn. The movement inspired Garden Cities in Europe and currently has been revived as a potential solution to Britain's housing crisis

  • Modern architecture and the 1903 Gothic Woolworth building tallest in the centre, in Manhattan, New York City. High-rise buildings are mostly corporate offices though some apartments in this, one of the world's great megacities. They occupy addresses along Broadway - a mixture of modernity and 19th century architecture can be seen as a wide panorama. The Woolworth Building, at 233 Broadway, Manhattan, New York City, designed by architect Cass Gilbert and completed in 1913, is an early US skyscraper. The original site for the building was purchased by F. W. Woolworth and his real estate agent Edward J. Hogan by April 15, 1910, from the Trenor Luther Park Estate and other owners for $1.65 million.

  • A jet aircraft flies past the newly-completed One World Trade Center (WTC) on what was Ground Zero on the September 11th 2001 attacks on New York City, USA. As an ironic coincidence, we see the airliner flying high over Manhattan, passing the tall skyscraper that is being finished. The 104-story supertall structure, which shares a name with the northern Twin Tower in the original World Trade Center that was destroyed in the September 11 attacks, stands on the northwest corner of the 16-acre (6.5 ha) World Trade Center site, on the site of the original 6 World Trade Center. It was architect Daniel Libeskind who won the 2002 competition to develop a master plan for the World Trade Center's redevelopment.

  • From the darkened room of Coventry council's CCTV control room, we see six screens that show various locations around the city centre. Some car parks, a stair well, and some views of a shopping precinct. In some the landscapes are empty of people and in others, there are citizens and passers-by all going about their business and all unaware that their movements are being watched by the authority's camera operators and security personnel. The middle camera dates the camera pictures as 24th May 1999 when Coventry was the most-watched city in Britain. The council controversially maintains it deters petty crime but the population disagrees, saying it is obtrusive and symptomatic of an Orwellian police state.
