User Reviews

A true and informative documentary

It is so satisfying to see that all the cities around the world found new adaptations for the urban issues because every city is unique. So their urban living should be effected by different people and cultures. And sometimes modern technical solutions for the city plan can create even more chaotic environments. Because usually communication between people is forgotten or ignored. Documentary shows us that best solutions come from insiders who live in there.
