Noted for its daring, experimental design - concrete modern terraces, blocks of flats and elevated walkways built around a system of lakes and canals - the town received attention from architects, sociologists and politicians throughout the world but also gained notoriety as the backdrop to Stanley Kubrick's film, 'A Clockwork Orange'.
