Comments
This film, A Future for the Past, was widely shown in the US in the 1970s and influenced towns to look beyond single historic buildings and take action. It influenced the US National Trust for Historic Preservation to produce "A Place in Time," about the value of historic buildings, and later (1979) to produce "Main Street," which was immensely successful in sparking many towns in the US, Canada and Australia to bring life back to their town centers.
