In honor of Earth Day, GPB is broadcasting a new documentary entitled, The Greenest Building. According to the film's website, "over the next 20 years, one third of our nation's existing building stock (over 82 billion square feet) will be demolished in order to replace seemingly inefficient buildings with energy efficient 'green' buildings. Is demolition on this scale really the best use of natural, social and economic resources? Or, like urban renewal programs of the 1960s, is it part of a well-intentioned planning strategy with devastating environmental and cultural consequences?"
Among the experts interviewed is economist and preservationist Donovan Rypkema, co-author of Good News in Tough Times: Historic Preservation and the Georgia Economy, a report recently commissioned by HPD. He also addressed the opening session of the recent statewide preservation conference in Macon.
Fortunately, if you missed seeing this documentary on GPB earlier this week, you can watch or record it this Sunday, April 24 at 1:00 AM, or view clips and order a dvd on The Greenest Building website.
