The Penn Hills NAACP, Penn Hills Community Development Corporation, 10,000 Friends of Pennsylvania, and Good Schools PA invites you to a special screening of: "The New Metropolis"

A screening of The New Metropolis, an award winning documentary by Andrea Torrice, will be in Penn Hills on October 27th at 6pm at the Penn Hills Cinema. Join fellow Penn Hills residents, business owners, community leaders, and public officials to participate in this special screening and community conversation.

America’s “first” suburbs, those suburban communities built next to America’s urban centers, were once the birthplace of the American Dream. Seeking to escape the smokestacks of the central cities, and a housing shortage following World War II, thousands of middle class families flocked to the newly-constructed suburban homes.

The New Metropolis illustrates how many of these original suburbs are now facing crisis: a dwindling tax base, population and business loss, decaying infrastructure, and demographic changes. Lacking federal and state government policies to help reverse these trends, our towns must connect to effect policy, develop advocacy networks and create strategies to achieve reinvestment and revitalization.

Come view this powerful film and engage in a community conversation about the shared challenges that communities like Penn Hills face, the strategies that can we can deploy to confront and overcome such challenges, and the successes that suburbs around the country have achieved through community collaborations, reinvestment, and advocacy.
