Intelligent Cities: Makeshift Metropolis

This is a fantastic video lecture by Witold Rybczynski he goes through a brief history of city planning and design.  He discusses the city beautiful movement, garden city movement, modernism, auto-mobile issues, new urbanism and the future.  I really appreciate his pragmatic approach to difficult issues.  It is well worth the 1 hour, but I recommend fast forwarding through the preliminary talking by the National Building museum and sponsors.
