The Great Together (2025)

The Great Together examines the future of Europe’s modernist estates in a time of acute housing crisis. As demolition loses its appeal, cities are rethinking how to care for, adapt and eventually celebrate their modernist heritage. The film’s title is a free translation of the French Grand Ensemble, a term that once evoked collective ambitions and architectural utopias. Today, these estates stand at the crossroads. Through four case studies, in Rome, Toulouse, Belgrade and Vienna, introduced by a single local voice, the film charts four different ways to deal with modernist mass housing: transformation, demolition, privatisation, and long-term maintenance.
