ust as we’ve done with the topic of sustainability all semester, this film first addresses the histories of cities, establishing the trajectories that cities are on before considering how these trajectories might play out in the future. The film then spends much time considering what the implications for human well-being as we design our cities to handle the challenges they will face in an increasingly urbanized future.
