The Future of Cities (2003–2025), Part 1

Season 1 · Episode 9

Explores the eventful history of New York across the tumultuous first two decades of the 21st century, starting in the aftermath of 9/11, as the city rebuilt and re-conceived itself on a breathtaking scale, and rose to become the supreme exemplar of a global "superstar city" in an era one scholar has called the “new urban age.” As these transformations occurred, the city would grapple with the challenges facing cities everywhere—including issues of infrastructure, governance, immigration, social justice and equity—at the same time confronting an unprecedented series of world-historic crises—political, financial, climatic and now epidemiological – each different, each existential, each global in reach, each calling on every ounce of the extraordinary resilience and creativity and individual and collective commitment the city can muster—and each, in their way, calling into question the future of cities.
