City Dreamers is a film about our 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. The film is inspired by what has united these four women throughout their careers: the “dream” of a fundamentally human and inclusive city. Phyllis Lambert, Blanche Lemco van Ginkel, Cornelia Hahn Oberlander, Denise Scott brown – four trailblazers who became accustomed to being the only woman in the room. Each has an extensive list of accomplishments in architecture, planning, and landscape architecture dating back 60+ years and has taught, mentored, and inspired generations of professionals. Since the 1950’s, they have worked with and collaborated with some of the leading figures in architecture.
