Smart Cities - Building for the Cities of Tomorrow (Documentary, 2015)

More people than ever are living in cities, while only 10 percent of the worlds population did so at the start of the 20th century. The number has grown to 50 percent today. By the end of this century, humans will be a predominantly urban species. As our cities grow, so do the challenges. Space is becoming scarce and social tensions, traffic, noise and pollution are all on the rise. At the same time cities offer many opportunities such as more efficient use of resources, energy and infrastructure. After remaining a relatively small specialty field for decades, sustainable building today hold the technical key for the future.

Detroit's rebirth - After the rise and fall, Motor City's hope for a comeback (HD 1080p)

Welcome to the city of Detroit, 'the Murder Capital of the USA', where the grass is growing over the parking lots and the houses are abandoned. Here, a new life is slowly beginning to take form and take over the deserted city. But even if the writing on the wall has a different and more apocalyptic meaning, there is no reason to panic. 'Detroit Wild City' looks with the wandering gaze and cool, philosophical distance of the outsider at the changes in urban landscapes in a historical moment when a 'post-' is written before 'utopias', 'humanity' and 'dollar capitalism'. Invisible disasters have ruined the city, and all that is left are traces in the form of radio adverts about debt relief, flocks of stray dogs, and a mysterious pile of burned New Age books. But on the fringes of it all, people have started to reorganise themselves in autonomous societies, where settlers are growing vegetables and still believe in the future - just not as an extension of the present. Florent Tillon keeps a level head and like a French
