Neighbourhood
Five neighbourhoods in Nigeria, Finland, the US and India that reflect the complexity of our local worlds
In a collaboration between the Sundance Institute and ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ World Service five programmes explore the complexities of Neighbourhood across the globe.
Trying to rent a flat in the biggest city in India, Mumbai, with more than twelve and a half million inhabitants; modernising Nigeria’s city of Lagos for its astonishing 21 million people; talking to Finns about what it has meant to be a nation always squashed between Sweden and Russia; to two very different American neighbourhoods, a community garden in the old mill town of Lowell in Massachusetts, and the ancestral homeland of the Shinnecock Indians out at Conscience Point on Long Island near New York – these are places that reflect the infinite complexity of the local worlds in which we live.
That’s five Neighbourhoods on the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ World Service.
