- Summary
- COI synopsis: Industrial progress tends to draw people into towns, which can quickly become overpopulated. This can leave too few people in the country with too few amenities. However, if industry can establish itself in the rural areas the trend both ways can be reversed. This is the policy which has been followed in many different countries. We show a successful example in the Isle of Wight, just off the south coast of Britain, where rural industries have been established. The enterprises thrived and officials from many countries have come to see how the same principles may be applied to their own local conditions. So, on behalf of our viewers in Africa, London Line decided to pay a visit too.
