Gingerbread designs for a sustainable future

The World

The Gingerbread City is an annual holiday season display of edible urban designs in London and for the first time, New York. Architects in both cities use gingerbread, gumdrops and icing to try out ideas for building sustainable cities. It’s the brainchild of Melissa Woolford of the Museum of Architecture in London. Host Marco Werman speaks to Woolford about how this year’s designs address climate change.
