The Town Disney Built
S1 • E8 Jun 4, 1996
Walt Disney's dream of building high-tech town run according to old-fashioned ideas of neighbourliness and community values was never realised during his lifetime. But the corporation bearing his name has invested $4 billion and engaged leading architects to build the town of Celebration in Florida. Setting strict standards of behaviour and decor, this experiment in social engineering will eventually support 20,000 inhabitants. Ben Woolley watches the first families move in.
