Planet City is a project by Los Angeles-based film director and architect Liam Young, whose work is prominently featured in the 2020 NGV Triennial. It explores the potential of extreme densification, in a speculative future where ten billion people surrender the rest of the planet to a global wilderness. It imagines a radical reversal of planetary sprawl, where the world’s population retreats from our vast network of cities into one hyper-dense metropolis housing the entire population of the earth.
