Urbanized - 2011 - 6/10

 
Ten year old documentary about urban planning.
Making cities more “liveable.”  More green space, less overcrowded slums.
Cleaner apartments, running water, crime control, on and on.
The mayor of Bogota prioritized buses carrying 100 citizens over 100 cars with 1 driver each.
Good luck with that in other (ahem, privileged) nations.
Anyway, all the speakers are idealists.
Two elephants are NEVER mentioned.
Ongoing climate change and the mass migration that will ensue.
And, the human population which continues to increase exponentially.
Are those realities too taboo to discuss?
