ABC is currently showing a series by e2 (E Squared), created in 2008 and narrated by Brad Pitt. Topics include public space design, public transport, energy usage, etc. I today caught the last 10 minutes of the paris public bicycle network episode.

You can buy episodes for ~$2 each from http://www.e2-design.com, or http://www.pbs.org/e2/shop.html). I'm sure you can find free downloads elsewhere if you are inclined to such methods.

Here's some 'Melbourne Reborn' episode samples i found on youtube:

By the mid-1970s, Melbourne was a dying city. People commuted in to work during the day, but downtown became a ghost town after 5 p.m. This episode explores how leadership and vision transformed the cityscape. Rob Adams, Melbourne's director of design and urban environment, gives a guided tour to show how the city first sought livability, then sustainability, and how the two are inextricably intertwined.
