“Cities” directed by Lillian Chan, narrated by Bruce Mau

Designer Bruce Mau views the COVID-19 pandemic as a short-term crisis in a long-term trend toward positive development. He dares us to abandon our toxic lifestyle habits and urges us toward bolder urban design.

“The Big Reset – Cities” delightfully brings to life Bruce Mau’s radical vision of cities in the post-Covid world. The three-and-one-half minute film is one of four entries in “The Big Reset” category of The Curve, part of an online collection of stories about how the pandemic has touched the lives of Canadians, presented by the Film Board of Canada.
