Food: human life can’t exist without it. It’s a city’s most important source of energy. In New York alone, 8 million people consume 10,000 tons of food every day.

The world’s cities are growing at a faster rate than ever before. An estimated 75 million people around the world move to an urban area every year.

EP4 Transport Tales Dec 08, 2013

People are the life-blood of cities. Its transport links are its veins and arteries. If they’re cut-off the city will die. Thousands of people work every day at making it possible for city dwellers to be where they need to be, when they need to be there. It’s an endless task demanding brain and brawn. Without the army of drivers, diggers, planners, thinkers, our great cities would come to a halt.

Synopsis

We turn on the shower and there’s clean water. We buy food grown on the other side of the world from the shop next door. We get the train, tube or light railway into the office. We boot up the computer and there’s power. Our cities are like huge complex living organisms and just like the human body; our cities rely on its vital organs—its infrastructure—power, transport, food, water, and buildings to keep it and the people who live and work there alive. This series explores how these vital systems work. If our cities are to prosper bold new solutions are needed. We will visit many of the ingenious engineering projects and vital enterprises that will keep our cities running in the years to come. Actuality will drive the narrative. We’ll meet the individuals who perform surprising and unseen tasks that keep the power on and the water flowing.
