"Fresno: A City Reborn," 1968
This film is a study of issues in city design, urban sprawl, and an introduction of city redesign in Fresno California. It shows Fulton Mall in Fresno at its height. But the vibrancy was short-lived—within two years, the mall's anchor stores were moving north as Fresno's population spread, which led the city council to make a series of decisions that ultimately undermined Gruen's plan to eliminate sprawl.
Film length: 28 min 48 sec.
