A Senior Vice President and Director of City Park Development for The Trust for Public Land, Adrian Benepe is one of the nation's experts on the nexus of the public, private, and non-profit sectors in public space development and management. Born and raised in New York, Benepe worked for twenty-seven years in the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation, serving as Park Commissioner for eleven years under Mayor Michael Bloomberg, prior to joining The Trust for Public Land. During that time he oversaw a major expansion of the city's parks system, including restoring historic parks such as Central Park and Battery Park, adding 730 acres of new parkland including Hudson River Park, Brooklyn Bridge Park, and the High Line, and laying the groundwork for an additional 2,000 acres of parks.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

A smart architect and smart open minded town hall makes a difference for centuries. In my hometown members of municipal council (AD 1887) decided not to sell rampart around the city walls (as it happened all over the Europe). Today we have a complete green passageway park through the city. We are all grateful every single day.

It was because of Robert Moses and his obsession with cars and building highways that led to the urban decay of New York City.

This is what is possible, if you give space to nature instead of cars. America should've listened to this man!

Sorry,but the Central Park in New York is just a tiny park against the Englischer Garten in Munich (Germany) and the Boi de Boulogne in Paris (France).

Built to be a space where rich and poor can both experience nature, but ends up adding value to the surrounding area, pricing out the poor so only the rich remain. This only works if the majority of people own their property, not rent it, which isn’t true with most of the example cities given in this lecture.

so i ave a question, to whether we would create cities nature, nature resistant,.. we live in a changing and living world and were supposed to adapt not the other way around,.. why do people still think controversial to our natural environment?,..

PARK OR LAWN?? Millions of $$ and deploy imported grass where kids can't play and less trees with swimming pools. Liked the part where NATURE TOOKOVER THE TRACK but there even human community intervened and imposed it's artificial designing. Build a native self sustainable landscape with trees, plants, wetlands rather a piece of Disney land.
