BBC documentary: The Joy of Motoring

Those of you in the UK can watch the following until Sunday 6 December:
 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00hq385/The_Joy_of_Motoring/
 
Despite the title, it's actually a well balanced film chronicling the rise of the motor car, presented by social historian Tristram Hunt.
 
"This film is a story about what's gone wrong with motoring. An all too human tale of how individual desire has been transformed into mass misery."
 
From 52:00 the film looks at the 'exurbia' of Milton Keynes, a sprawling British new town designed around the internal combustion engine. At the earliest planning stage this was to have been a *car-lite* high density settlement. To find out more about this missed opportunity - and the motorail city that could have been - you'll have to come to the York conference next year :-)
