Video: An Urban Sprawl By The Sea


The video above analyzes the results of urbanization because of a university that has just been given degree-awarding powers in the town Falmouth on the south coast of the English county of Cornwall. The university, University College Falmouth (primarily a traditional and performing arts school), has recently brought an influx of students from not only England but all around the world to this relatively small town. Above all, the narrator dissects the culture changes this arrival has installed in Falmouth through a series of interviews with students, business owners, and local residents. Specifically, he characterizes the recent display of skateboarding culture and graffiti.
