My City, My Backyard reveals the real city that lives underneath the glossy version we all know. Led by an inspiring local architect, artist or designer, who takes us under their wing, introducing us to the people and places that make up the unique community they love.
My City My Backyard celebrates the joy of living small as inspiring local architects, artists and designers around the world step outside their homes revealing the community they’ve found in their own backyards. The auntie making noodles by hand, the craftsman who opens the door only for friends, the people and places they love and how they’ve made their neighbourhood a unique place to live. It’s the quiet joy of seeing a place through the eyes of someone who loves it and wants you to love it too.
