Content and Structure
Considers the dangers that threaten Europe's architectural heritage, and shows what is being done to save it. Aspects of conservation considered include: restoration; traffic planning; both harmonious and incongruous new construction; the pressures of tourism. It is a visual catalogue of the great achievements of European architecture, and a review of Europe's physical heritage both cultural and natural. Examples of how it has been ruined by planners and examples of how it has been sympathetically preserved. Shot in 15 European countries, the film touches on all aspects of conservation, including lost treasures, restoration, new uses for old buildings, and new construction, traffic, the pressures of tourism, advertising and the activities of local authorities and conservation societies.
