Inspiring Speech On Urban Renewal

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

I just watched the speech that Majora Carter from Sustainable South Bronx gave at this year’s TED conference. She talks about “her commitment to environmental justice and her vision for a renewed South Bronx”1 and it is everything that Guy Kawasaki and Kim Pallister say it is.

Her speech is inspiring, emotional, riveting and deeply interesting. If you have even the slightest interest in urban renewal, sustainable development or just doing the right thing by communities, then this is required viewing.

Plus she is a master speaker - check out Guy’s critique.

I highly recommend that you spend the twenty minutes to watch it.

You can stream it from the TED site, or download it from Guy’s site.
