Students for Global Sustainability
CITIES, USA 2000
from the ReInventing the World Series directed by
David Springbett & Heather MacAndrew
TUESDAY, 12/10 2002 - 7PM - ROOM 4-370
Is "sustainable cities" an oxymoron or can they be made to work? This
movie explores some inspiring ideas on sustainable city planning.
synopsis:
As the world's cities grow and resources shrink, will we be able to live
sustainably with the earth - and with each other? Can we take care of
people and the environment? A community watershed project in Sao Paolo,
Brazil shows us how. Can urban planning be a win-win for everyone?
This program looks at what sustainability means in locations as diverse as
East L.A., Sao Paolo, and Curitiba, Brazil, Vancouver and Portland. Jane
Jacobs, Bill McKibben, Bill Rees, California senator Martha Escutia, and
John Ryan offer their ideas on what living sustainably in the world's
cities means.
ps. this time we tested the video tape beforehand and it works :)
