| [00:04.69] | The modern city |
| [00:13.74] | What is the author's main argument about the modern city? |
| [00:20.37] | In the organization of industrial life the influence of the factory upon the physiological and mental state of the workers has been completely neglected. |
| [00:31.06] | Modern industry is based on the conception of the maximum production at lowest cost, in order that an individual or a group of individuals may earn as much money as possible. |
| [00:44.50] | It has expanded without any idea of the true nature of the human beings who run the machines, |
| [00:50.72] | and without giving any consideration to the effects produced on the individuals and on their descendants by the artificial mode of existence imposed by the factory. |
| [01:02.37] | The great cities have been built with no regard for us. |
| [01:06.76] | The shape and dimensions of the skyscrapers depend entirely on the necessity of obtaining the maximum income per square foot of ground, |
| [01:15.96] | and of offering to the tenants offices and apartments that please them. |
| [01:21.90] | This caused the construction of gigantic buildings where too large masses of human beings are crowded together. |
| [01:31.26] | Civilized men like such a way of living. |
| [01:34.77] | While they enjoy the comfort and banal luxury of their dwelling, they do not realize that they are deprived of the necessities of life. |
| [01:44.08] | The modern city consists of monstrous edifices and of dark, narrow streets full of petrol fumes and toxic gases, |
| [01:52.50] | torn by the noise of the taxicabs, lorries and buses, and thronged ceaselessly by great crowds. |
| [02:00.66] | Obviously, it has not been planned for the good of its inhabitants. |
