In keeping with the World's Fair theme of "Building the World of Tomorrow", the General Motors exhibit will present a conception of future motor traffic regulations and superhighways. By means of a continuous escalator, visitors seated in comfortable moving chairs will travel over the super-highways and into the "city of tomorrow". The tour will be climaxed by a full-size street intersection, showing the architecture, motor traffic and pedestrian facilities for the future. Normal Bel Geddes is designer of the building, and the architect is Albert Kahn
