10 Towns that Changed America

Season 1 Episode 4 | 56m 3s | WETA Passport

Ten “experimental” towns that did not evolve organically over time, but instead were designed (or redesigned) from the ground up by visionary architects, corporations, and citizens, who sought to change the lives of residents using architecture, design, and urban planning.
