The City changes

United States, 1971

Please note

Sorry, we don't have images or video for this item.

As people’s needs change, cities must grow and change to meet these needs. Some changes are obvious; others are subtle. How do they affect people? Can all changes be considered improvements? Designed with minimum narration - and open-ended - allows students to observe and analyze reasons for change and to determine the degree to which the community can or should exercise control over change.
