  Building Out of the Recession    
Jonathan Glancey, architecture correspondent for The Guardian newspaper in Britain, examines the architecture of a downturn and asks whether it’s possible to literally "build" out of a recession.  
FIRST HALF

In this documentary produced for the BBC World Service, Jonathan Glancey goes back to the Great Depression. He looks at the symbolism of buildings constructed during the New Deal and at their concrete contributions toward reviving the economy.
SECOND HALF






Architecture critic Jonathan Glancey continues to question whether it’s possible to build out a recession. He also asks whether developments need to be grandiose to boost the economy, and visits Chicago to see smaller-scale projects that are making a big impact.
