Throughout the world rapid urbanization is causing many cities to grow uncontrolled. the pressure is very difficult to handle. UN Habitat set up teams of 4 to 5 planners, architects and designers to analyze situations and to come up with plans and strategic/diplomatic ideas.
We have followed 5 teams for about 1 year, operating in Philippine, Myanmar, Ghana, Gaza and Mexico sowing the great efforts and the fantastic impact of the Urban Labs.

the short film is produced for the opening of the HABITAT III conference in Quito (nov 2016)
