Houston Green Film Series: Streetfilms
Rice Media Center
Join special guest Director Clarence Eckerson and us for a series of short films about streets.
Streetfilms is an offshoot of Streetsblog, a national daily news source that connects hundreds of thousands of readers from around the country to the movement to transform transportation and land use policy in the U.S. to make our cities and communities more livable, sustainable and safe. Clarence Eckerson, Streetfilms Director, travels the globe capturing the transformation taking place on the ground and the challenges our American cities still face.
From a time-lapse of NYC’s reclaiming of street space for public plazas, places where kids have lost the freedom to roam, the bioswale bikelanes of Indianapolis and the parking craters of LA, Streetflims examines the impact of urban and suburban design on climate change and quality of life.
