This film offers a fascinating introduction to urban planning, particularly modern urban models. Consider drawing up a chart comparing the city of Sapporo to large Canadian cities so that your students can understand that prevention is key to helping cities avoid certain pitfalls. You might also give your students a follow-up assignment on Sapporo. Were the ideas put down on paper carried out?
