Citizen Jane is a timely tale of what can happen when engaged citizens fight the power for the sake of a better world. Arguably no one did more to shape our understanding of the modern American city than Jane Jacobs, the visionary activist and writer who fought to preserve urban communities in the face of destructive development projects.

Artist, innovator, visionary: architect Norman Foster is all this and more. From humble, working-class beginnings in Manchester to internationally-renowned leading light, Foster is as talented as he is dedicated, and the seemingly effortless lyricism of his architectural designs led to Foster's nickname - the Mozart of Modernism. From the kooky yet simplistic characteristics of New York's Hearst Tower to the elegant and powerful way the Reichstag acknowledges history while looking to a new Germany, Foster's designs are creative, thoughtful, dynamic and ever-unique.
