In 1959, a British landscape designer, town planner and architect named Geoffrey Jellicoe dreamed up a town of tomorrow. He called it Motopia.

It imagined a radically different version of the British town. His big idea: a city built of glass where roads travelled across the tops of buildings.

Artist, writer, curator and educator Will Jennings joins to discuss Jellicoe's design. We talk about why it was never built, the New Towns Movement and whether Britain has lost the ability to think creatively about town planning.
