Cities of Tomorrow
CITIES OF TOMORROW by Elena Brunello

What if the battle for the planet is won or lost in the places we call home?

 

Cities of Tomorrow is a four-part documentary that reframes the climate crisis not as a distant catastrophe, but as an urgent urban reality.

 

With cities responsible for over 70% of global emissions, they are both the frontline of environmental collapse—and the crucible of its solutions.


Guided by Viola Follini, a 27-year-old climate project manager for C40 Cities, and Professor Antonello Pasini, one of Italy’s foremost climate scientists, the documentary weaves a generational and intellectual dialogue through the streets of London, Milan, and beyond.

 

Each chapter explores a core environmental challenge—Energy, Waste, Pollution, and Relocation—unpacking the damage and spotlighting the innovators rewriting the future.
