The CinePearl Take
Gary Hustwit’s steady, observational pacing lets each expert’s perspective breathe, turning complex policy debates into digestible anecdotes. The film’s most compelling moments come from the candid, unscripted exchanges with figures like Jan Gehl and Enrique Peñalosa, whose passion for human‑centric design is palpable. Visually, the juxtaposition of bustling megacities with quiet, walkable neighborhoods underscores the film’s central thesis: great cities are built by people, not just planners.
