Birmingham, city of the future: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoHVO1eSMFc "Telly Savalas Looks At Birmingham", 5m, 1981. Note the use of shots of complicated motorway junctions to indicate modernity.

This could easily pass as parody, at this point I'm not sure if it isn't. Hilarious in any case.

The fun bit about that is that most of the "state of the art" modern stuff like the railway station and shopping centres has been demolished and replaced since

Not sure Birmingham looks that post-apocalyptic despite its reputation, although the starchitecture of the Bull Ring centre that replaced the Bull Ring centre in the video has a definite aliens-have-invaded vibe to it... e.g https://i2-prod.birminghammail.co.uk/incoming/article1992671...
