You could also say - everyone who 'thumbs up' this trailer is probably the type of person who is interested in architecture, urban planning and design on an intellectual level.

Yes! Istanbul, Türkiye is featured at 0:15 & maybe in the movie we'll find out who is planning the BRT in 0:42. Greetings from Washington, DC!

Watched this movie on Netflix last night. It gives a nice overview of the issues of livability, crisis management, and governance that confront cities by showing how a few different cities handle them. It uses that framework to contextualize its discussion of urban planning and design, which helps humanize what some people see as boring intellectual topics.

I dont' think "urban design is a language of the city" concerning "language" as "natural language". I think it's a pose of the city. It's its mask, not a natural language.
