Description
As part of its Urban October celebration, UN-Habitat has launched "Paper City", a stop-motion video animation portraying today`s urban challenges using a paper and cardboard mock city.
Aimed at an audience not yet familiar with urbanization processes, the video intends to draw attention on current issues caused by rapid and uncontrolled city growth. It points out possible urban solutions in a visual and attention-captivating way that is fun and easy to understand.
