Urbanized

Documentary exploring the current designs and effects of modern-day cities, highlighting examples from some of the world’s leading architects, builders and creatives. From the director of Helvetica.

"Director Gary Hustwit has an impressive track record when it comes to exploring the world of design. His latest film completes a design trilogy (after Helvetica and Objectified) and hits even closer to home by looking at cities. In Urbanized, we meet architects, politicians, city planners, activists and others who bring fresh approaches to urban living. The film presents invigorating new strategies for meeting the challenges faced by popula­tions that are expanding (like Mumbai) and shrinking (like Detroit).
