印度昌迪加尔是从平地兴建起来的新城市。 　　1951年法国建筑师勒·柯布西耶受聘负责新城市的规划工作。昌迪加尔是一座规划城市，市内街道成方格状。昌迪加尔的总体规划贯穿了勒·柯布西耶关于城市是一个有机体的规划思想，并以“人体”为象征进行城市布局结构的规划。

In 1960 Jane Jacobs’s book The Death and Life of Great American Cities sent shockwaves through the architecture and planning worlds, with its exploration of the consequences of modern planners’ and architects’ reconfiguration of cities. Jacobs was also an activist, who was involved in many fights in mid-century New York, to stop “master builder” Robert Moses from running roughshod over the city. This film retraces the battles for the city as personified by Jacobs and Moses, as urbanization moves to the very front of the global agenda. Many of the clues for formulating solutions to the dizzying array of urban issues can be found in Jacobs’s prescient text, and a close second look at her thinking and writing about cities is very much in order. This film sets out to examine the city of today though the lens of one of its greatest champions.

In the near future, China Tracy will build a city dubbed RMB City within Second Life. This will be the condensed incarnation of contemporary Chinese cities with most of their characteristics; a series of new Chinese fantasy realms that are highly self-contradictory, inter-permeative, laden with irony and suspicion, and extremely entertaining and pan-political. 　　China's current obsession with land development in all its intensity will be extended to Second Life. A rough hybrid of communism, socialism and capitalism, RMB City will be realized in a globalized digital sphere combining overabundant symbols of Chinese reality with cursory imaginings of the country's future. In RMB City, we will be able to cruise the digital ocean, witnessing a Ferris wheel rotating on top of the Monument to the People's Heroes; looking down from the sky on the water of the Three Gorges reservoir gushing out of the Tian'anmen rostrum; passing the giant new totem symbolizing the Oriental Pearl TV Tower of Shanghai; hopping over the Feilai Temple marooned in a raging torrent; walking across a vast, desolate state-owned factory area in Northeast China; and finally hovering over the Grand National Theatre in Beijing. Also in our view will be gigantic planes gliding over terraces in the crevices of the central business district, and aerial super-malls. We will see water flowing into huge toilets on the container piers of the Pearl River Delta area before traveling through the sewage system into an ocean with floating statues of Mao Zedong. The rusted steel structure of the Olympic Stadium aka "Bird's Nest" will be washed in splashes of ocean spray, while an aerial band on a floating sheet of the national flag filled with five-pointed stars makes a deafening noise that shakes Rem Koolhaas' CCTV building, causing it to collapse....

新加坡亚洲四小龙之一，经济发达，跻身当今世界最富裕的国家之列，很难想象在几十年前这里只是一个资源匮乏，土地贫瘠面积狭小的小岛，之后几十年奇迹就在这里上演，来自全球各地的人都被吸引到这块土地，寻找梦想和财富，而领导这一切的人正是李光耀，他塑造了现代的新加坡，并带领新加坡从第三世界迈入第一世界，不过新加坡并非一日建成，在李光耀之前新加坡如何从一片丛林与沼泽地变身为扼守马六甲的国际自由港？这又是另外一段传奇。
