A two-part series examining life at the edge of the city's urban sprawl as the rural environment takes over.

Including interviews with archaeological historian Janet Clayton about the estate at Scadbury in south London, Danish architect Peder Boas Jensen about Copenhagen's Finger Plan, human geographer and folk singer Georgina Boyes, Irish town planners Michael Grace and Sheena McCambley and Robert Bruegmann, author of Sprawl: a Compact History.

"...a quick hooray for a different type of documentary altogether ... about the frankly ridiculous topic of where suburbia hits the countryside. Not a 'proper' documentary subject, but the programme was beautifully put together... The speakers didn't introduce themselves until the very end. They weren't famous, their lives weren't 'great' , but they were, in their own way, still great."
