International Competition

From Sao Paolo to Los Angeles, and from Toronto to Copenhagen. The battle for the cities of the future has begun. It is taking place on both two and four wheels, and is about much more than getting from A to B. How our cities look is determined by how we move around in them, and the auto industry's effective lobbying work has meant that the framework surrounding the lives of billions of people is determined by cars. But a new, green countermovement is giving car drivers a run for their money – because the bicycle is both a healthy and sustainable alternative to a future that is about to collapse under the strain of traffic. Fredrik Gertten's Bikes vs Cars is a fun and serious take on a modern activist film, which not only confronts us with the world's problems but also wants to do something about them. It is high time to decide which side you yourself are on – and which city you would like to live in.
