AMSTERDAM, LONDON, NEW-YORK: THE MAGNIFICENT THREE - EPISODE 4 : Global Cities (1880 - 2017)

First in history, London and New York turn to gigantism and open the way to the city of tomorrow. New York invents the skyscraper and the skyline, new concepts that will revolutionize urbanism and shape the cities around the world. London, the heart of the British Empire and the wealthiest city on earth, faces pollution, with its deadly consequences, and cannot overcome its huge poverty problem. Through economic booms and crisis, through war and reconstruction, watch London and New York, through the 20th and the early 21st century, solving their enormous urban challenges and becoming the cities they are today.
