Episode 2 - Newcastle - Aarhus (Denmark)

December. 31,1969

Newcastle and Aarhus are both provincial centres. Yet they show, in their very different ways, that the provinces need not be a mere smudged carbon copy of the metropolis, and display a life style quite distinct from London or Copenhagen.

Episode 3 - Oxford - Padua (Italy)

December. 31,1969

Oxford and Padua are not only among Europe's most historic centres of learning. They are also part of the booming industrial complex of the new Europe. How far can they reconcile their traditional roles with the pressures of the 1970s?

Episode 4 - Inverness - Lulea (Sweden)

December. 31,1969

Episode 5 - Barnsley - St Niklaas (Belgium)

December. 31,1969

The North of England and Belgium share the same taste for chips and strong beer. They face the same problems of an industrial heritage and they have the same chance to create a lively and vigorous environment.
