Can purpose-built prototypes solve the crisis of modern urban living?
In short: From South Korea to China, architects are building 'living laboratories' to test the future of human civilization. This documentary explores how these smart city prototypes are redesigning everything from energy grids to daily transit.
The documentary examines specific urban prototypes like Songdo City in South Korea and the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City in China. These projects serve as testing grounds for new methods of organizing housing, transport, and energy systems.
By observing these developments, the film explores how smart city technologies aim to reshape the fundamental structure of human life, moving beyond traditional urban planning toward integrated, high-tech environments.
