I HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE (slogan)

The most important connection between the video we watched and our two location is the unsettling future in which the World Fair 1939 presented. Since our need to be more futuristic many communities were affected and displaced while the construction of that future was being built. It was never for the people but for the future of the city.
