Suzuki Diaries

Urban Farm DB summary

A 2014 review of the documentary "The Suzuki Diaries: Future City" (2012/2013, 45 min), an episode of the CBC television series "The Nature of Things." The father-daughter hosts David Suzuki and Sarika Cullis-Suzuki travel in a compact Airstream trailer to four cities across southern Canada, covering urban agriculture in Montreal, urban revitalization in Toronto, a shift from a waste crisis to recycling success in Edmonton, and sustainable design and smart city building in Vancouver. The review notes that within the 45-minute runtime, conversations with engineers, designers, agriculturalists, and homeowners may feel too brief for some viewers, but recommends the film for classroom use on urban recycling, agriculture, public transit, green design, and revitalization programs.
