Best in the World
56 minutes · Denmark · 2022Copenhagen is widely considered one of the world’s most livable cities, but it wasn’t always this way. Best in the World offers a closer look at the Danish capital’s journey from an industrial city on the brink of bankruptcy to the transformed Copenhagen of today. Celebrated writer and filmmaker Hans Christian Post takes stock of the cost of this transformation, examining inequity within the city’s borders and in the surrounding countryside. Through conversations with architects, activists, and writers, the film asks us to consider who ultimately benefits from the desirable new city.
This program will include a talkback, immediately following the 1 PM screening, featuring filmmaker Hans Christian Post in conversation with Executive Director of AIA Chicago, Jen Masengarb.
