Edmonton Design Exposed: Sprawling from Grace; Driven to Madness

Starts: Tuesday, October 19 9:00 PM

Ends: Tuesday, October 19 11:30 PM

This is a film about the unintended consequences of suburban sprawl. It illustrates the importance of altering the course of how we develop our nation's cities. It communicates the dangers of continuing to invest in the inefficient horizontal growth patterns of suburban communities, and details how they threaten to bankrupt the remaining wealth of our nation. It explores how the depletion of fossil fuels will impact this living arrangement, and investigates the viability of alternative energies that are currently available. This film sounds the alarm that the cheap fossil-fuel-dependant suburban American way of life is not just at risk. It is in peril! How we build our cities will determine the future of how we live our lives, how we form our values, and will determine what we leave for our next generation. It's time we answer the wake up call. USA 2008, 82 min, Digibeta, Dir: David M Edwards Sprawling.
