The TV Shows and Movies CityLab Is Binge-Watching

Here’s your guide to documentaries, movies and TV shows about social justice, local government, the environment and of course, cities.

For many people in the Northern Hemisphere, this winter is marked by canceled holiday celebrations, smaller (if any) family gatherings and sub-freezing temperatures. In response, streaming services have been pumping out shows and movies to keep up with the demand from people who just want to curl up on the couch and binge-watch a movie or a TV series (the more seasons the better).

The Bloomberg CityLab team is no exception to the inclination to Netflix-and-hibernate. We’ve compiled a selection of documentaries, films and television shows from 2020 that showcase some of our favorite coverage topics, including social justice, local government, the environment and of course, cities.
