It’s no secret, cities are changing faster than ever. On all continents, in every city, big or small, individuals and groups are taking the lead and bringing ideas to the streets. Together, they are creating modern resilient cities focused on the vision of the humans who inhabit them.
The Life-Sized City is a ground-breaking documentary series that explores the anatomy and vibrancy of the modern city, highlighting pockets of life-sized goodness in cities around the world. Ideas once limited to a single neighbourhood, somewhere half way around the world, are brought to the screen to inspire people from just about everywhere. The Life-Sized City is a catalyst for organic urban change, a gallery of the best and the brightest minds and actions that are making our daily life better, from Medellín to Tokyo and back, via Paris, Bangkok, Detroit, Cape Town and Tel Aviv. Each episode focuses on one city and on what makes it liveable (or not) for its residents.

Host Sophie Fouron takes us into the heart of each of these incredible cities to discover how their past affects
their present, and how their present is shaping their future.

Bruce Cook has dedicated the past ten years to showing others what is possible, performing under spotlights and proving to himself that his accident happened for a reason. He has accomplished more than he imagined post injury, establishing a foundation that allows others the opportunity to step outside of their comfort zones.
But what about his own? As the spotlights begin to fade, and Bruce’s life falls into a rhythm, he finds himself conflicted by who he wants to be, who he thought he would be and who he really is.
This season will find Bruce on his way to accepting and coming to terms with who he really is after ten years in a wheelchair.
