Video description

Clip 7 from a film commissioned by the City of London Corporation to promote the Barbican development scheme. Shots of the built up London cityscape, architectural plans for the barbican Complex, details of the Brutalist architecture of the Barbican, inside the car park of the Barbican Estate. The focus of the film is to explain how the new scheme will 'bring life back into the heart of the City'. The film explains that the City (the Square Mile) is no longer a residential area and underlines the point by showing empty streets at the weekend. The new Barbican development scheme is introduced and the viewer is invited to explore interiors of the new flats.
