Spoiler-Free Synopsis
Read MoreCollapse
The final episode of the nature series looks at the one environment that has been made by humans for humans - the city. Over half of the world's population now lives in the urban jungle. The city is built to keep untamed nature out, but nature cannot be pushed away. From bed bugs sucking our blood at night to rats in our restaurants, many animals have adapted to a life with us. From the ancient City of Fez in Morocco to rooftop beekeepers in Manhattan, Human Planet looks at the many ways in which man and beast co-exist in built-up areas. (T) (Digital Dolby 5.1).

About This Guide
This episode guide brings together the episode runtime, synopsis, series context, and nearby episode navigation for Human Planet. That gives readers and search engines a clearer relationship between the episode and the parent series instead of treating the page as an isolated record.
Editorial Take
Cities - Surviving the Urban Jungle is presented as an episode-level guide that still keeps the parent series context visible, which is important because isolated episode pages can otherwise feel detached and thin. This episode sits at position 8 out of 8, so the page can answer both the runtime question and the progress question at the same time. The 1h runtime is especially useful here because episode search intent is often much more time-sensitive than general series search intent.
