À propos de la série

Americans built a wall that holds back a whole river, a tower that went up in just over a year, and a road that runs across the open sea. In this series you will see eight great American constructions: how they rose, who built them, and what they changed.

Les épisodes (12)

1
The Hoover Dam
A wall that holds back a river. In Black Canyon, on the Colorado between Nevada and Arizona, a wall of pale concrete drops away like a tower of sixty floors turned upside down, and a whole river waits behind it.
4:18
2
The Empire State Building & the skyscraper boom
The race to the sky. Manhattan is small and its land costs a fortune, so New York built upwards: in 1931 a silver spire on one hundred and two floors became the tallest building in the world.
4:16
3
The Erie Canal
A river made by hand. Five hundred and eighty kilometres of straight water across New York State, dug by people and walked by horses, joining Lake Erie to the sea.
4:05
4
The California Aqueduct
A concrete river across dry land. A blue line eleven hundred kilometres long, open to the sun and the wind, carrying water right across California's brown fields.
