The Cyburbia Forums is the oldest and most active English language urban planning message board on the Internet, and one of the small number of online communities where members enjoy intelligent, troll-free discussion. Cyburbia has hundreds of active members, yet is a strong community full of creative, friendly, and occasionally offbeat planners, planning students, architects, urbanists and other like-minded people who care about and/or help shape the built environment. Cyburbia Forums members enjoy a sense of community and camaraderie that is unmatched by any planning-related web site or listserv. We'd love to have you join us as another Cyburbian.

Old films about city planning
OK, maybe this is the right forum,I don't know. Anyway, I did two searches at http://www.archive.org/ and found some great videos about city planning, Some are really funny. Luois Mumford wrote the commentary for The City, http://www.archive.org/movies/detail...ctionid=19331a I like the mention of Johnny Cakes and Hominy Grits. It's kind of boring but still entertaining.

I did a city planning search:

I can't seem to successfully download any movies off archive.org - does anyone know why? It either redirects me to some off site directory with browsing enabled, and once it even directed me to some national yiddish archive at archive.org.

Very strange.

Are you downloading the MPEG 4's? I remember trying this and having problems. The MPEG 2's worked well though. The negative is that they take up more space. But the quality is amazing. You can even watch them full screen. This website has been a gold mine for me. I have almost 20 MB's of these things downloaded. One I reccomend for this website in particular:

Community and Growth, Crisis and Challenge (1959)
