Ecopolis: City of the Future

Ecopolis - it's not a real city, but it is a realistic vision of what our cities might be like by the year 2050. And it's not pretty - the computer-generated mega-city Ecopolis is dirty, polluted, running out of food, water and fuel, and prone to blackouts. But science has the ability to change the future of Ecopolis. A blueprint for city life in the year 2050, Ecopolis can benefit from new "green" technologies being explored today that will lead to a more sustainable urban experience tomorrow. Hosted by Professor Dan Kammen, member of a Nobel-prize winning team of scientists that advises governments on climate change, "Ecopolis" addresses various threats to the future city and takes a look at possible solutions. A groundbreaking six-part series.
