ABOUT BIG CITIES
BIG CITIES is a world-wide TV and crossmedia collection of stories about innovative ways to improve living conditions in the growing number of megapolis around the world.The quality of life in big cities has been falling over the years in contrast to the urban population that has been growing at ever-greater speed. Overcoming the challenges of urban development and planning depends on new and bold solutions. In order to provoke change and make things better, broadcasters from all around the world cooperate in the BIG CITIES project. Together, they will produce and share a package of films that come in two different lengths, 13’ and 52’ minutes, creating thus a collection of inspiring character-driven documentaries for tv broadcast as well as online exposure. Each participating station will produce at least one film (long or short) in order to receive the whole collection. Broadcast and online all over the globe, the films will provide citizens and policy makers with innovative knowledge and motivating success stories, including such topics as mobility, housing and slum upgrading, safety, climate change, planning and design, economy, reconstruction, governance human rights, water and sanitation, land, energy, social and intercultural issues. BIG CITIES has been developed by TAL (Televisão América Latina) in Sao Paolo, Brasil, and is a follow project to the successful global collection COLOURS OF FOOTBALL (http://coloursoffootball.tal.tv/).
