Background

While we have been delighted with the success of our late 20th Century documentary: Ecological Design: Inventing the Future and the mainstreaming of the green movement in general, we are convinced that powerfully destructive forces like: over-population, unimaginative urban sprawl, and bureaucratically driven generic design programs(dumb design), threaten the promising conceptual breakthrough of recent times.

Most people respond these pressures with a debilitating resignation. Jaded phrases like: "you can't fight City Hall" make it imperative that alternative and eminently achievable visions of the future be known to as many people as possible. To paraphrase Winston Churchill, otherwise: we will get the Cities we deserve.
