Thomas Hylton, a Pulitzer Price-winning journalist from Pennsylvania, wrote "Save Our Land, Save Our Towns" in 1995 and hosted a public television documentary on the subject in 2000.  The program has aired on more than 100 PBS stations nationwide. Click here to view the documentary.
 
According to the DVD jacket, "Save Our Land, Save Our Towns" taps into a growing concern about sprawl among ordinary Americans.  They are frustrated with traffic congestion, angry about the loss of open space, and distressed by the sheer ugliness of their surroundings.  Many think sprawl is inevitable.  But it's not ... it is a story of hope -- logical reasons why America's towns can be rebuilt and its countryside preserved from strip malls and subdivisions.  The program is designed to be engaging and personal -- a voyage of discovery, rather than a mere recitation of facts -- with moments of revelation, humor, and emotion."
