Imagining A New Florida DVD
Produced by the Florida Humanities Council and WPBT2-Miami, this one-hour documentary explores what will Florida "live like" in 2030? Now for the first time since the 1940's, more people are leaving Florida than arriving. While Florida was on the fast track of development, Linda Chapin, the former chairman of the Orange County Commission says, "We wrote a lot of policies and a lot of regulations, but we never had an overarching vision of what we want to be like when we were developed." As a result many communities in Florida have lost their sense and relationships with their neighbors.
What is the meaning of community and the negative impact? Is Florida too built out? Or can Floridians chart a new path towards sustainable growth? Imagining a New Florida explores these questions through the voices of architects and artists, developers, and historians, planners and plain common people.
