Megacities: London

Once, it was the capital of the world’s greatest empire. Today, London remains a crossroads of the world. London has not one but 3 major modes of transportation flowing through the city - by air, land and water. They are the keys to keeping this mega city alive and running. Each is crucial to sustaining the city, as well as the global community. London has the world’s busiest international airspace, the Thames is the world’s busiest urban river, and the city streets are so congested, you must pay to drive on them. This episode examines the technology that is used to protect London’s infrastructure from disaster. To head off disaster, London deploys high-tech cameras everywhere, constantly scanning the skies, the river, and the ground. This is a view of London like nothing ever seen before and viewers are taken behind the scenes to watch the watchers and their incredible technologies.

Megacities: New York City

In the past 100 years, the New York subway system has grown from a nine-mile line to a four-borough system and one of the most vital elements is the signal system. This episode joins the students of the signal school in New York as they learn to master everything from century old manual “”interlocks”" to latest-generation computerized track-management software. It also examines the safety issues concerning working with electrified rails and massive trains. The episode also follows the emergency management response team as they plot rescues, escapes and re-routing on the fly, in order to ensure the safety of both the riders and workers of the subway.

Megacities: Hong Kong

A peninsula bounded by more than 200 islands - only a handful of them inhabited, Hong Kong is the most densely populated urban region on the planet. In the recent past it has been rocked by economic and financial upheaval. Yet it has come through with some of the most high-tech, counterfeit-proof currency in the world, as well as some of the most complex bank building structures. Hong Kong has more billionaires per capita than anyplace on earth. This episode shows how such a small city accomplished such immense technological feats. The journey begins inside the printing facilities of Hong Kong Printing Limited and follows the currency to the Big 3 banks in Hong Kong, before it is then circulated through the economy.

Megacities: Paris

Constructed in the nineteenth century, the sewers of Paris extend 2300 kilometres-the distance from Paris to Istanbul. This episode takes a look inside these vaulted tunnels where a million cubic metres of waste flows through the Parisian sewage system every day. The sewers are the digestive system of this mega city, bringing in life-giving fluids and carrying out waste. It examines the dangers of what it takes to keep the system running smoothly. The episode follows Phillipe Bussignies, who has been working on the sewers for the past 25 year as he and his team lay out thousands of miles of fibre-optic cables through the sewer tunnels using a Cable Laying Robot. Megacities explores this system beneath the Paris streets, where the inky blackness is broken only by the glow of fibre optic light. Paris plans to become the world’s first fully connected wireless city.

Megacities: Mexico City

Mexico City is the world’s biggest city. It sprawls across more than 1400 square kilometres. But for the 18 million people who live here, it’s not just another metropolis. Mexico City is ground zero. This mega city violates the first rule of real estate: location. On one side: one of the world’s most earthquake-prone hotspots. On the other: one of the world’s most active volcanoes. And beneath their feet - a shaky foundation of landfill. To Mother Nature, Mexico City is one big target. And any moment, another big earthquake could hit the city. But against the most destructive force of nature, the city is tapping the power of science. Towering over the city is Latin America’s tallest skyscraper - built to ride out an earthquake on giant shock absorbers. From subways to freeways, this episode examines how Mexico City is harnessing cutting-edge technology to build in safety.

Megacities: Sao Paulo

It’s the second largest city on earth - and the most important city in Brazil. More than 10 million people live in Sao Paulo. But fitting people isn’t a problem. The challenge is the city’s trash. Every day, Sao Paulo generates 14,000 tons of garbage — the weight of the leaning Tower of Pisa. Sao Paulo has embarked on a green revolution by harnessing hectares of trash to produce energy. Aluminum cans are the most recycled object on earth, and Brazil leads the way when it comes not only to recycling them, but the speed at which it’s done. This episode follow one aluminum can from the time it is picked by one of the catadores - the trash-pickers of Sco Paulo who make their living from collecting recyclables - through pressing, melting, and re-melting, to the moment it is ready to become a new can. State of the art technology combined with typical Brazilian ingenuity contributes not only to a clean environment, but to help poor citizens earn their living.

Megacities: Las Vegas

When you think of gambling, you think Vegas…a manmade oasis in the middle of the desert. However, the secret behind Las Vegas is not the gambling and it’s not even the connections. This mega city’s power is electricity. The Las Vegas power grid is a network of six power plants fuelled by nearly every source of energy: hydro-electric, coal and natural gas. Together, these plants pump electricity along nearly 16,000 kilometres of power lines. The character of this neon play land is matched by the people who keep it running – it is a place and a people who thrive on risk and an independent, maverick spirit. From Harley-riding linemen to the no-nonsense, tell-it-like-it-is Mayor Oscar Goodman…and from live wire helicopter workers to a quirky couple living “off-the-grid”…one thing is very clear. Vegas natives are electrifying. This episode takes viewers inside Las Vegas’ incredible generation and distribution systems and examines current transformations that are occurring in order to prevent a possible black out.
