The streets and houses look just like London's East End.

Ironically, the Richard Allen Homes, shown being built in this film, rapidly turned into one of Philly's most notorious public housing hellholes. It would have been better to rehabilitate the existing neighborhoods instead of bulldozing them to build projects that warehoused and isolated the poor. Today, the Allen Homes are gone, replaced by townhouses of the same scalwe as the surrounding historic neighborhoods.

I've heard for years that the Free Library has tons of old documentaries like this stored away (and they probably threw out even move over the years). Someone should digitalize them and post them for the world to see.

Very good. Those arguments are still being used against building work force housing today.
