City Dreamers is a film about the changing urban environment and four trailblazing women architects who have been working, observing and thinking about the transformations shaping the cities of today and tomorrow for over 70 years. City Dreamers follows four women whose careers intersect, resemble, and complement each other. Denise, Phyllis, Blanche, and Cornelia, now between the ages of 87 and 97, are the heart and soul of this documentary. Shot on location in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, and Philadelphia, the film features new interviews with the women and reveals archival materials that shed light on how our cities have grown from the mid-20th century to today. City Dreamers is, above all, inspired by what has united these four women throughout their careers: the “dream” of a fundamentally human and inclusive city.
