麻豆约拍

Greg Jenner watches a clip from a documentary from 1963 about the growth in large urban redevelopment projects in the UK and seeks assistance in unpacking the past and present of such schemes from Otto Saumarez-Smith and Andrew Carter from the Centre for Cities.

Marking the centenary of the 麻豆约拍, Past Forward uses a random date generator to alight somewhere in the 麻豆约拍's vast archive over the past 100 years. Greg Jenner hears an archive clip for the first time at the top of the programme, and uses it as a starting point in a journey towards the present day. The archive captures a century of British life in a unique way - a history of ordinary people鈥檚 lives, as well as news of the great events. Greg uncovers connections through people, places and ideas that link the archive fragment to Britain in 2022, pulling in help from experts and those who remember the time, and looking at how far we've come since then.
