“Hustwit has made an invigorating film out of a subject with no flesh or blood, and yet speaks so much to the way we live.” – Stephen Saito, Premiere Magazine
“A digestible, globetrotting primer on the future of cities filled with bracingly plainspoken professionals and practical optimism.” – Bill Weber, Slant Magazine
“Hustwit gorgeously enhances the talking-head commentaries of architects, policymakers, and other progressive thinkers with spatially clean, static-camera compositions — this time in God’s-eye panoramas of earth’s ant farm.” – Aaron Hillis, Village Voice

Synopsis
This American independent documentary frames a global discussion on the future of cities. Who is allowed to shape our cities? How do they do it? And how does the design of our cities affect our lives? The movie explores a diverse range of urban design projects in dozens of cities around the world, from massive infrastructure to temporary interventions. Featuring some of the world’s foremost architects, planners, policymakers, and thinkers, including the extraordinary citizens who have affected change in their communities. Directed by Gary Hustwit, it is the final documentary in his design film trilogy that includes “Helvetica” and “Objectified.”
