Zusammenfassung:Hustwit's wonderfully shot documentary leaps from the favelas of Brazil, the roads of Stuttgart and the High Line of New York as he tries to contrast the global differences in approach to urban design and it's future, with the solid prediction of 75% of the worlds population living in cities by 2050. The statistic is quite a frightening one but the talking heads that make up "Urbanized" seem relatively unfazed, seemingly more concerned with transportation improvements than anything else. It's incredibly impressive to see just how much of a difference a simple bus lane can make in Bogota or cycle lanes make in Western Europe and Hustwits film does a very good job of showing the constant need of a city to evolve alongside technological and social advances ... Given that Hustwit deals with such a mass of topics over so many countries, you'd expect "Urbanized" to be jumbled and confused but instead the film is a fantastically slick and informative overview of a dense and difficult subject. Hustwit has done a wonderful job of creating a balance throughout the film that really questions the viewers relationship with their hometown and invites greater respect for developers and architects.
