Reimagining Our Cities

by Jamie on January 3, 2012

Detroit based One of Us Films is producing a documentary film that will turn the lens on the possibilities of urban cities around the world. Using the thesis laid out in Detroit Free Press writer John Gallagher’s Reimagining Detroit, the documentary will look to Detroit’s future, and, by extension, to the future of cities everywhere.

For while Detroit may be the nation’s poster city for urban dystopia, it shares its predicament to a greater or lesser degree with dozens of cities. Population loss and industrial collapse scar cities around the globe, not just a handful of towns surrounding the Great Lakes.

This is the movie short. We just ordered the book from Amazon, and can’t wait for the movie.
