Urbanized is a new documentary by Gary Hustwit currently in production about the design of cities. It’s the third film in his trilogy of design themed documentaries which include Helvetica and Objectified.

Urbanized looks at the issues and strategies behind urban design, featuring some of the world’s foremost architects, planners, policymakers, builders, and thinkers. I’ve teamed up once again with cinematographer Luke Geissbuhler, and we’ve been traveling around the world interviewing people and filming specific urban design projects that represent the issues facing cities today. The world’s population is in the midst of a massive migration to urban areas, and the design solutions our cities implement in the next 20 years will be critical.

Gary has setup a Kickstarter project to help raise funds to complete the film.
