"End of Suburbia" Producers Working on New Film

“Resilience means more than just preparing for climate change,” says Toronto-based filmmaker Gregory Greene. “It means looking ahead to other shocks, such as peak oil, and using them as opportunities to create something better.”

I ran into Greene, who is working on a follow-up to his previous films The End of Suburbia and Escape from Suburbia, at the Ecocity World Summit last week in Istanbul. Here’s what he told me about his new film…

“The End of Suburbia exposed urban truths in a new way. That’s what we want to do again with this new film. But rather than focus on the problems, we want to explore solutions. There are way too many films out there dwelling on the problems, including ours.”

Greene’s new film, to be called Resilient City, will be about urban solutions – especially the innovative approaches being tried out in three particular cities: Detroit, Mumbai and Tianjin in China.
