Environment 1990
Short Film (Full Length) – 1972
In the cities of course, the weather will be fully controlled before another century has passed.– Arthur C Clarke
To achieve a widespread improvement in environmental quality the man in the street should appreciate good design and be interested in it. The greatest hope for the future must lie in the education of our young people, in an appreciation of aesthetic values, together with a sensitivity towards principles of conservation and the preservation of worthwhile things from the past.– The Physical Environment Conference Report, 1970
..received enthusiastically at its world premiere in Stockholm ... The premiere was held for senior delegates to the United Nations conference on the human environment, and it is now being shown daily in Stockholm.– The Dominion, 12 June 1972
