One of the things we plan to look at in The Baldwin Park Story is the similarities and/or differences between a planned community built in an urban environment and a traditional city neighborhood. In many cities people are moving back to the neighborhoods their families reluctantly left years ago. Most neighborhoods were comfortable places to live for any number of reasons. Planned Communities offer many of the same amenities as neighborhoods did, like being able to walk to stores, and children walking to school.
After some interviews with individuals associated with the development of Baldwin Park in Orlando, Florida shooting began in and around the downtown area and along Lake Baldwin. The notion was to get some footage that would complement the interviews and give us a feel for what this “planned community” looked like.
Baldwin Park is built on the ground, which was once a Naval Training Center that was closed 1993. Located in Orlando, 10 minutes from the down town area it was acquired by the City. After much debate and time it was developed as new community, based on New Ubanism concepts in the heart of the city.
The documentary begins with this community and plans to explore the ideas of New Unbanism, Planned Communities, Green Communities and the shift from suburban living to revitalized urban environments.
Baldwin Park, Orlando has been successful in a number of ways as an urban planned community and provides the documentary with starting place to look at other communities and aspects of New Urbanism and Urban Planning.
The documentary also plans to follow a number of families and individuals moving to and living in Baldwin Park and similar urban areas to learn first hand who and why people live there.
