Everyone’s trying to understand urban communities and work out how to make them better. But, its an inexact and confusing science (or art). And, its often inaccessible to many people.
So why not make a movie?
Well that’s what Gary Hustwit has done with Urbanized. A new film exploring urban planning from a global perspective, by showcasing the best of urban design and planning in cities around the globe and exploring the theme of the power of community in shaping cities.
Sometimes communities are credited with the creation of interesting projects, and in other cases, with protesting large unwanted ones.
So, if you liked the book (and theory) of better urban design and outcomes, why not see the movie too.
Gary Hustwit is a documentary filmmaker based in New York City and London. He is a former vice president at Salon.com and cofounder of the independent film production company Plexifilm. His documentary features are Helvetica (07), Objectified (09) and Urbanized (11)
