NOT SO MUCH A FACELIFT…
"A quirky look at urban improvement in 1970s Britain"
Directed by Philip Harland
A short documentary exploring the UK’s 1970s approach to urban renewal through General Improvement Areas. Mixing location footage from Blackburn, Norwich, and Oxford with unexpectedly quirky presentation, the film contrasts small-scale housing improvements with the sweeping redevelopment schemes of the post-war era.
