How the Suburbs Ruined the USA and the Entire World

Welcome. When you think of **"America"**, the image that comes to mind is identical two-story houses, well-kept lawns, a two-car garage, and a grill in the backyard. Hollywood depicted this time and again as the **American dream**. And this dream infected the world. Today, many still say: *"I don’t want to live in a concrete wasteland—but I want my own home and a piece of land."* Meanwhile, Americans themselves increasingly admit this dream was a trap, not just a mistake, but the **costliest mistake of the 20th century**. Everything started with one man who decided to build houses like Ford built cars—transforming the country, making millions happy while plunging the U.S. into a real crisis that still haunts them today. In today’s film, you’ll learn how the American dream became the cause of crises, depression, endless traffic jams—and what Americans are doing now to breathe new life into their cities and fix the mistakes of suburban thinking.
