Beneath the Ruins: The Outer City

Genres

Overview

In The Outer City (Bayırşəhər), one of Baku’s historically and architecturally significant neighborhoods, large-scale demolition has already begun, placing the city’s memory under threat. For over a year, local residents and architects have been fighting to protect the historic buildings, the urban fabric, and Baku’s unique identity from the excavators’ bucket — yet the scope of destruction keeps expanding day by day. “Beneath the Ruins: The Outer City” is the follow-up to the documentary “Framed: The Outer City.”
