Contested Streets (2006)

Theatrical Release Information  |  See Details About All Versions

See the streets of New York City evolve from the time of the horse and buggy to the days of the internal combustion engine in this documentary from director Stefan Schaefer. What benefits has modern transportation had for the city, and what drawbacks? By comparing the growth of The Big Apple to the growth experienced by such world class cities as London, Paris, and Copenhagen, Schaefer highlights how limiting automobile use can improve air quality, reduce noise pollution, and enrich communication on many levels. It seems that even the most vibrant city on the planet could still use a few tips from Old Europe when it comes to retaining a sense of community and enriching the lives of citizens. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
