Cities Under Threat

At a time when overtourism has become a major environmental issue and is putting increasing pressure on global cities, this documentary series takes us to four of the world’s most attractive destinations to examine the solutions that are currently developed to cope with climate change.

How will Venice, built on a hundred islands, survive rising sea levels? How did Tokyo come to be built in one of the world's most seismic zones? How was New York City built? And what environmental threats does it face today?

Cities Under Threat gives the floor to engineers, architects, historians and residents to discover the ambitious and innovative projects put in place to save these unique yet threatened places.
