I hope that you can advocate for the very very visual person, right? That's part of what makes different directors very different. So how can more of us request demand that really Scott do not just make another dystopian thing? I want to see your take because he is a great storyteller, even if he doesn't take the science incredibly seriously. He knew exactly how certain scenes were going to look long before there was a script for those scenes. Like the words were less important.

Cities are incredibly important to modern life, and their importance is only growing. As Geoffrey West points out, the world is adding urban areas equivalent to the population of San Francisco once every four days. How those areas get designed and structured is a complicated interplay between top-down planning and the collective choices of millions of inhabitants. As the world is changing and urbanization increases, it will be crucial to imagine how cities might serve our needs even better. Johanna Hoffman is an urbanist who harnesses imagination to make cities more sustainable and equitable.
