NCI Charrette System™: Stories of Community Transformation

A documentary showing charrettes in action. People say that you can't really understand what a charrette does unless you have seen one in action. The NCI Charrette System DVD is the next best thing to being there. This DVD places you into key moments within the seven-day East Fort Myers, FL charrette. Hear what participants are saying before and after the charrette. Witness how the charrette team takes a project from a blank canvas to a developed plan. The DVD also tells the stories from Providence, RI and Ocean Springs, MS after Hurricane Katrina.

Featured in the DVD are elected officials and community members from the three cities as well as Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk, Victor Dover, Charles Bohl, James Moore, Bill Lennertz, and David Brain.

This 13-minute overview is based on the full 35-minute documentary of the same name, which can be purchased on DVD at http://www.charretteinstitute.org
