Contested Streets is a documentary produced by the New York City
advocacy group Transportation Alternatives, and made by Cicala
Filmworks that explores the rich diversity of New York City street life
before the introduction of automobiles and shows how New York can
follow the example of other modern cities that have reclaimed their
streets as vibrant public spaces. The 57 minute film was premiered in
New York City on 27 June 2006 and is available for purchase at cost
from Transportation Alternatives. Contested Streets features new
footage of reclaimed streets in London, Copenhagen and Paris and
features interviews with New York savvy notables such as Ken Jackson,
Mike Wallace, Bob Kiley, Eric Britton, Jan Gehl, Majora Carter, Kathryn
Wylde, Enrique Penalosa, James Howard Kunstler and many more - -- who
help us to make our way through the morass of problems, resistances and
opportunities that all our cities face. Cicala Filmworks is a
full-service film, video, and new-media production company.
Headquartered in New York City, the company produces content as varied
as documentary programming, industrial videos, TV commercials, web
content, and short and feature films. • View a 5 minute trailer of
