The City Of The Future (1935)

Titles read: "The CITY OF THE FUTURE".
London and New York, United States of America.
Various shots of buildings in London, including the Shell Building on Embankment and industrial area on the South Bank.
Several good shots of New York skyscrapers - some aerial shots.
We then see numerous models and sketches of plans for a city of the future. Among them is the interesting idea of apartments built into a suspension bridge. Most look quite futuristic, in a 1930s, streamlined kind of way.

It's funny see that the vison of future is based on the tecnology of 1935 itself.
