It was so nice to meet you and I look forward to your future posts.</p> <p>This was a compelling documentary that I must say really opened my eyes on the adverse effects of urban sprawl. Ohio is coming to a crossroads in land development. It's time to not just build up rather than build out, but also to renew and maintain what's already been built and preserve our sacred farming land for future generations.</p> <p>Although Andrea Torrice's movie has already been shown on WOSU, they will rebroadcast it sometime in the near future. </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/the-new-metropolis-1124-1125#post-250537 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 14:22:25 +0000 patient_zero 250537@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <blockquote><p><cite>Walker wrote <a href="http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/the-new-metropolis-1124-1125#post-249613"> &gt;&gt; </a></cite><br /> Sounds really interesting.

The first episode is called "Crack in the Pavement" and it's specifically focused on the first suburbs/ suburban sprawl in the Cincinnati metro area (present day). The second episode is called "The New Neighbors" and it's about the integration of one suburb called Pennsauken in New Jersey (circa 1990s).</p> <p>For more information, check out the New Metropolis website:<br /> <a href="http://www.thenewmetropolis.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.thenewmetropolis.com/</a></p> <p>CET in Cincinnati/Dayton area has been broadcasting this documentary for a couple weeks, but I'm not sure if Columbus has plans to follow suit. It actually played on WOSU in October, but I don't believe there are any future plans for broadcast at this point, but check the website for updates. </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/the-new-metropolis-1124-1125#post-250332 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 02:01:36 +0000 joshlapp 250332@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <p>I believe the movie is focusing on the first suburbs circa 1890's. In Columbus these would be Old Town East, Victorian Village, Italian Village ect. These are also known as "Streetcar Suburbs." </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/the-new-metropolis-1124-1125#post-250330 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 01:47:49 +0000 adrock 250330@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <p>i'm a little confused. is this about the first suburbs in america or the first suburbs in ohio? it seems to be focused around ohio and minnesota. i've watched a few docs on suburbs before and they all point to california and orange county for starting the trend of planned neighborhoods/subdivisions/suburbs/auto-centered living. </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/the-new-metropolis-1124-1125#post-250280 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:48:39 +0000 jpizzow 250280@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <p>When I first read this, I thought Columbus may have gotten a mention in Metropolis....the magazine. We don't get enough articles in major publications......Newspapers, maybe, magazines, not so much. Anyways, sounds interesting and would love to go, but of course, as with all public meetings that I would love to attend, I've got to work. Hey, living downtown is not cheap. </p> <p>Do you think this will be made available on any local stations any time soon? </p> http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/topic/the-new-metropolis-1124-1125#post-250263 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:00:49 +0000 littlemisslibrarian 250263@http://www.columbusunderground.com/forums/ <p>I am planning on going.
