From

Salzgitter-Lebenstedt did not grow organically over centuries, but was designed on paper in the 1930s as the "city of the future" for the Reichswerke Hermann Göring. Accompany architecture expert Tom and local Emma on a profound journey through a city built on a fascist grid. Discover the reality of forced labor behind the propaganda, the effect of functionalist zoning separation, and the later struggle of the residents to give the authoritarian building plan life and a soul of their own.
