"A look at the National Capital Area, and then an in-depth look at the NCC's National Capital Plan - how it came to be and how it is being implemented. An account of demolition, of construction, of roadways, parks, government buildings, and of landscaping is given. Exceptional material: Queen Elizabeth II launches the construction of the Queensway; the Ottawa Train Station at Confederation Square; the Queen Mother officially opens Colonel By Drive; and, medium shot of town planner, Jacques Gréber."
"Other buildings and sites of interest include: the INTER-PROVINCIAL and CHAUDIERE Bridges; Green Island and OTTAWA CITY HALL; CANADIAN GENERAL ELECTRIC building; THE NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL on a 370 acre site in the east end; CENTRAL MORTGAGE AND HOUSING CORPORATION in a landscaped park; skiing at CAMP FORTUNE."
