Another Way of Living: The Story of Reston, VA

Visionary American urban planner Robert Simon (1914-2015) believed that building community is more important than creating buildings. Fifty years ago he envisioned "another way of living" in the suburbs, combining the best of the city experience with the best of the country. The result was the planned community of Reston, Virginia, an international sensation that mixes the residential and commercial, creates open spaces, and promotes community. In her film, recent Peabody Award winner and director Rebekah Wingert-Jabi chronicles the journey of Reston's founder and his dream to make his utopian vision a reality, and celebrates the continued success of Reston's development. Presented as part of the Environmental Film Festival in the Nation's Capital. For more information, visit www.dcenvironmentalfilmfestival.org.
