In this film research we are defrosting 1960’s Reston to see if there is anything there we can learn to help the next generation build places for our new regenerative lifestyles.

Raising Reston is the story of trials and tribulations of Mr. Simon’s life and how he managed to build a thriving new town from scratch.

We are mow defrosting after 40 years what was once considered an experimental utopian design, the vision of a several men in the 1960’s offered citizens a new yet old way to live.

How did it come about and what can we learn from the successes and the mistakes.
