The Human Scale

Fifty percent of the world's population lives in urban areas. By 2050 that number will increase to 80%. This compelling documentary makes an excellent case for designing cities around people instead of automobiles and traffic flow, which has dominated city planning since the 1960s. In it, we meet thinkers, architects, and urban planners across the globe and we look at cities – from New York to Chongqing – that demonstrate the various problems, solutions and possibilities for urban development.
