Sustainability Film Screening: The New Metropolis: Bay Area and Global Warming

Come to a free showing of this documentary about America’s first suburbs and join in the community dialog.

Please RSVP to ensure your seat.

The New Metropolis illustrates how many of America’s original suburbs are now facing crisis: a dwindling tax base, population and business loss, decaying infrastructure, increased demographic tensions and middle class flight. 

Hear from film-maker Andrea Torrice, local political leaders and other guest speakers in a discussion about local responses to the topics raised in the film. Jazz vocalist Jennifer Johns will provide a spirited opening to the day. 

Following the screening join the community for a discussion and complimentary appetizers at Nong Thon restaurant at 10086 San Pablo Avenue.
