A Brilliantly Edited Crowdsourced Supercut About the Future and the History of Highly Populated Cities

Filmmaker Oscar Boyson in partnership with The Nantucket Project, has created “The Future of Cities” a brilliantly edited montage about what cities will look like in the future by drawing upon films, current projects and the city’s past. In making the film, Boyson sourced footage from all over the world through his YouTube channel.

This is a conversation starter first, a video second. I’d love to hear your thoughts on cities, the future, and this project. Thank you to everybody who contributed! Trust me when I say that even if I didn’t get your footage in the cut, we can feel it in the finished product. I want to keep telling urban stories and building on these ideas – hope you do too. Knowledge is Power.
