🎥"Stories like those portrayed in The Green Divide can be as effective in shaping public policy as the results of quantitative studies." Thanks @alerigolon.bsky.social for this review of our documentary. 👀 Have you watched it yet?
I wrote a review of a documentary titled "The Green Divide" by @bcnuej.bsky.social for the Journal of the American Planning Association. The film tells stories of people affected by green gentrification across Europe and North America, and compares large, top-down greening with grassroots projects

Every flood, fire, and storm can carry a story of livelihoods and homes destroyed.

On the EU Day for the Victims of the Global Climate Crisis, we honour those affected by its impact and act for a safer future.

By preparing our homes, infrastructure, economy, and health systems, we protect lives.
