"Radiant City" questions urban systems and sustainability

Radiant City, the first film in the in the film series "Movies Even an Engineer Would Love" (PDF flyer) will be held tonight starting at 7:00 pm in the Knight Auditorium, Spurlock Museum, 600 S. Gregory St., Urbana, IL. A discussion will be held after the showing. About the film:

Across the continent the landscape is being leveled--blasted clean of distinctive features and overlaid with zombie monoculture. Politicians call it growth. Developers call it business. The Moss family calls it home. This look at urban sprawl through the eyes of one Canadian family also asks fundamental questions about design, planning, and technology. Covering topics from traffic and infrastructure to childhood, family, and ennui, it ultimately asks: How can we build sustainable systems that can grow gracefully as they age?
