CITY IN A CITY: CO-OP CITY

Housing and the People closed with the story of the largest housing cooperative in the world: Co-Op City in New York. In this hour, we screened Adam Tanaka's City in a City, a short documentary film exploring the housing development built in New York between 1966 and 1973 and which is home to over 40,000 people. After the film, we embarked on a live tour and conversation with a current resident to think about what this visionary project can teach us about housing for the future.
