Walt Disney explains his vision for his Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow in 1966, shortly before his death from lung cancer in December of that year. I can’t help but imagine what the world would be like if this vision had been brought to life - he definitely anticipated what was needed for a maturing industrialized world.Some may be familiar with what is now called EPCOT in Disney World Florida, but it’s more akin to a theme park / permanent world fair, than the original plan described above. While visiting there a handful of years ago, I remember being struck by thought: “the future is built of dreams”, and Disney definitely dreamed.I most recently saw a 3h 40m biography of his life, both the good and the bad, made by American Experience and published in 2015 I believe. It’s available until Sep 29, 2017 if you have a PBS app subscription, and would highly recommend. Also found this fan site on the original EPCOT plan:https://sites.google.com/site/theoriginalepcot/
