Description:

A semi-dramatized document on slum housing in Philadelphia. A filmed essay on slum living, exposing social conditions characterized by the lack of hygiene, the lack of town planning, overspending on looks and underspending on needs. A look at urban renewal follows, and at subsidized housing developments. Noteworthy sequences: a boy tries to kill a rat with a stone in an alley; old colonial architecture; monuments and historical buildings; and the Richard Allen Hamer housing development.
