Britain From Above.

Recently I've been watching a series from the BBC called "Britain From Above", which has explained to me some concepts of city-building and given me some ideas for future cities.

The stories can be found here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/britainfromabove/


To search for the ideal city today is useless. For all cities are different. Each one has its own spirit, its own problems, and its own pattern of life. As long as the city lives, these aspects continue to change. Thus to look for the ideal city is not only a waste of time but may be seriously detrimental. In fact, the concept is obsolete; there is no such thing.

-Steen Eiler Rasmussen, 1898-1990 (SimCity 2000 User Manual).

Ironically, as I was on holiday I watched an episode of Britain From Above! It was the episode about daily operations in Britain. It was fascinating to learn what is going on in a modern city. It is a really interesting program and it does give some ideas about city building.

I saw the first one in the series, and it was very good. It was quite interesting, although probably not as relevant to city building as the others sounded (it was more focused on the provision of services, like power and goods). I was thinking about watching the others soon...
