As the urbanization of the planet intensify and our natural resources dwindle, our way of thinking the city and to build our buildings is questioned. Town planners, architects, engineers, political decision-makers propose new solutions today to build "durably".
Through the interviews of big European architects (Norman Foster, Will Alsop, in England, François Tirot, Laurent Marc Fisher, in France, Werner Sobek or Stefan Benish, in Germany and in the Netherlands) and the visit of their most innovative buildings, The Sustainable city propose an inventory of the ecological architecture in Europe and a political reflection on the future of our cities.
