Building Sustainable Cities for the Future

CrashCourse

This episode of Crash Course Geography explores the complex intersection of urban planning, sustainability, and social justice.

The video critiques futuristic "climatopias" and emphasizes that true sustainability must account for the people living in cities, not just the infrastructure.
