1. A GARDEN IN CAIRO - Cairo is one of the most densely
populated in the world. His Highness the Aga Khan saw
the need to relieve this congestion. The result is Al-Azhar
Park: a 500-year-old dump-turned-"urban lung" that
provides much needed green space and a source of civic
pride.
2. THE VILLAGE ARCHITECT - Architect Brian MacKay-
Lyons grew up on the shipyards of Nova Scotia and
borrows from that lean, economical building tradition in
his architecture. From the Barn Yard in his village to the
Canadian Embassy in Bangladesh, this episode presents a
lesson in local vernacular -- why it works and how it might
be the most sustainable form of architecture there is.
3. MELBOURNE REBORN – By the mid-1970s, Melbourne
was a dying city. People commuted in to work during the
day, but downtown became a ghost town after 5 p.m. This
episode explores how leadership and vision transformed
the cityscape.
