Urban growth isn't a problem -- it's an invitation | Beth Mosenthal | TEDxMileHigh

Our cities are growing rapidly, and it's hard to ignore the impacts -- the rising costs of housing, gridlocked traffic, gentrification, and bland construction. Architect Beth Mosenthal has the solution -- instead of accepting the status quo, what if our cities were architectural laboratories? As an architect, Beth Mosenthal works with corporate, public, and nonprofit clients, and is passionate about creating designs that bridge art, urbanism, storytelling, and sustainability. She advocates for equity and accessibility, facilitating dialogue between architects and the citizens they serve. Prior to working at Anderson Mason Dale Architects, she studied and practiced architecture in Shanghai, New York, and Chicago. Beth lives in Denver with her husband, baby daughter, and dog Frida. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

One of the most underrated Ted Talks in history

Why do some tedx talk perform so poorly in terms of views? Damn this channel has over 17 mil subs and still she's struggled to rack up a mere 1000 views a year after the upload..

This was inspirational

[@mattstbe6452]

If we want to get anywhere close to the big cities in china, first, we have to eliminate single family housing, or at least the zoning for single family housing, and we all have to be more forward thinking and look at how other countries are building cities. I'm gonna say it again. Silicon valley doesn't live up to its name as "The tech capital of the world" or "The home of innovation". This country is still biased on rural spaces and fossil fuels. That doesn't sound very innovative to me.
