Overview
Depicts the inner workings of the city, and explores the hidden world that makes much of our civilization possible -- from what happens when you switch on a lightbulb to the remarkable developments that will have us all driving high-tech smart highways in the future. Takes a close look at the city's utilities: cutaway views show the gas, steam and electric lines and water pipes that lie under our feet. Shows a city's remarkable ecosystem. Details the construction of skyscrapers, bridges, and tunnels. Examines how massive numbers of people are moved in and out of the city every day -- explains how subways work, and looks at "smart highways".
