Urbanized, released in 2011, looks at the issues and strategies behind urban design, and Hustwit details how the feature-length documentary took shape after he attended conferences on urban design. The conferences, he noted, featured presentations with a large amount of text, making for presentations not accessible to the general public. Hustwit then goes on to explain the importance of translating information visually for a bigger audience and highlights the importance of knowledge sharing across cities. He mentions how displaying design ideas in cinematic form makes for better audience engagement, and how the general public is interested in who shapes their cities - but oftentimes they lack the accessibility to spaces that are having conversations about urban design. Hustwit also talks about his latest documentary - The Map - which follows the redesign of New York City's iconic subway map, one that updates in real-time.
