In september the movie Urbanized had its world premier at Toronto Film Festival. The movie has been produced and directed by Gary Hustwit as part of a triology including Helvetica, discussing graphic design and visual culture, and Objectified about industrial design. Urbanized is now on a screening tour through the US but a few stops in the UK and one in Copenhagen are also on the agenda.

"Who is allowed to shape our cities, and how do they do it? Unlike many other fields of design, cities aren’t created by any one specialist or expert. There are many contributors to urban change, including ordinary citizens who can have a great impact improving the cities in which they live. By exploring a diverse range of urban design projects around the world, Urbanized frames a global discussion on the future of cities. "
