City Life is the second series of Life documenting the effects of globalization on individualsand communities around the world. This twenty-two part series of 27-minute programsexamines globalization's effects on cities and their inhabitants. Globalization coupled with a lack of action by world leaders is causing an ever-widening gap in wealth, separating the rich from the impoverished. Poverty is increasing in cities dramatically. People from rural areas all over the world are moving to cities at an alarming rate because rural economies can no longer sustain them. The lure of opportunity and employment draw them to the cities, further exacerbating a global problem. |
