SAVE OUR LAND SAVE OUR TOWNS

SAVE OUR LAND SAVE OUR TOWNS
This video is an hour-long public television documentary about saving our towns and countryside. The program has been broadcast by more than 100 PBS stations nationwide. Save Our Land originally aired on all seven Pennsylvania public television stations in the summer of 2000 with the title "Saving Pennsylvania." Like the book, the video is a story of hope - logical reasons why America's towns can be rebuilt and its countryside preserved from strip malls and subdivisions. The program follows the quest of small town newsman Tom Hylton to discover why America's towns have declined and what we can do to revive them. His journey includes recollections of the idyllic towns of his youth, a visit to devastated inner city neighborhoods, and a look at once-verdant farmland that has been lost to development. He returns to Pennsylvania to learn how new "brownfields" policies can encourage the redevelopment of our cities. Hylton concludes by listing logical, practical ways America can rebuild its towns, preserve its countryside, and provide more secure, neighborly communities for people of all ages and incomes.
