Interesting and informative. Just a pity that the audio levels were all over the place. (A remix would be welcome.)

I grew up there and it was the best place in the world to live. As I have grown and traveled, I have found nothing like it. God, I miss it.

thanks for this. my family's first home was in radburn.

My sincerest thanks for producing and posting this wonderful documentary. I grew up on 14 Arlington Place, and Radburn shaped who I am as both an environmental and community advocate. After moving to a nameless faceless suburb in northern Delaware to escape NJ's high cost of living, I quickly realized what was lost in terms of pathway connectivity, public green space, knowing who your neighbors are, having a walkable downtown, etc. The sprawl garbage that succeeded Radburn as "model living" in the U.S. simply cannot compare, unless 100% auto-dependency is your thing. Just fyi, James Howard Kunstler did this brilliant TED talk a few years ago, explaining the dire consequences this had -- and continues to have -- on all aspects of human health and wellbeing: ruclips.net/video/Gz7oJjWg8_Y/видео.html . I've spoken to JHK on a few occasions, and he describes Radburn as "a magical place". If I had to comment on the docu, I'd like to ask what prompted "for better, and for worse" to describe Radburn falling far short of the original plan due to the Great Depression. I can't possibly imagine how this was in any way "for the better". Perhaps had Radburn reached fruition, its design concept might have continued on in the construction industry to this day. For those fortunate enough to live in Radburn; love and cherish it is all I can say. You won't find anything else like it in the other 99.99% of the U.S. suburban built environment.

I went to Radburn School in the 1950s but lived in one of the newer developments just outside Radburn. In those days there were gentlemen's agreements and houses weren't sold to Jews. This was something I felt, even in grade school. Anyone comments on this?

Great job!

Outstanding! This is an exceptionally professional and informative video with great archival photos and documents and narration by longtime USA Today reporter Rick Hampson and (briefly) by Lindy Washburn of the Record. A DVD of this--if one becomes available--would make a wonderful present for anyone living in or thinking of moving to the area.

Nice tour! the place is amazing! thx for sharing

Kathy, Jana and Linda Lendman enjoyed watching this and hold on to happy memories of our 17 years living on Brearly Crescent.

TERRIFIC work! From '65 - '79, I was blessed to grow up in the community of Radburn and this reckoned so many fond memories. As soon as you got to the Abbott Court Apartments, only a walk through A-Park awaited you...without any crossing of streets or cars in the way. I need to research Marjorie Sewell Cautley as her contributions to Radburn are totally new to me...and her influence so profound. Generations of kids were late for school because they were searching for chestnuts under the chestnut tree mid-way along A-Park en route to Radburn School. THANK YOU!

I grew up there as did my mom. I enjoyed the video and I actually saw the house I grew up in on Plaza Rd.. So cool!

This is Radburn's best documentary and done with no video and no budget. You found photos and charts I had never seen before and ones that are beautiful and striking to see. The narrative does the best job of presenting the important facts about Radburn, better than any source I've seen or read including the historical book I wrote.
