Urban architects were grappling w/ complex ideas such as traffic, density, heritage preservation, green space and more. Directed by Canadian filmmaker Joseph Hillel, City Dreamers is about 4 women – Phyllis Lambert, Blanche Lemco van Ginkel, Cornelia Hahn Oberlander and Denise Scott Brown – who impacted the male-dominated fields of architecture and urban planning with new solutions and perspectives on #urbandesign. #ADFilmFest #worldwar2 #filmfestival
