- 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.
I love listening to Adrian speak. Always a good talk with lots of passion about parks.
Bright thinking, and the persistence to get through all those layers of bureaucracy. Respect.
It was because of Robert Moses and his obsession with cars and building highways that led to the urban decay of New York City.
park conservancy in resilient cities
Fantastic talk, thank you !!
Great talk, bravo!
need a love button. Thanks to the innovators
wonderful 🌿
Inspiring and insightful! ❤️🙏👍
Very good discussion and insightful research
Nicely presented.
This is what is possible, if you give space to nature instead of cars. America should've listened to this man!
hocamız önerdi ve izledik çok güzel bir anlatım
'Places that are not just survivable but also livable' Wow!
Poor sound quality though.
Awesome
Edan. Ini juga keren parah. Andaikan di tempatku ada gini.
Cars trying to take space everywhere.:s Get'em out and there are more parks :D
I need to have conversation with an architect out there please
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.
Who decided central park is the best park in the world?
Central park... thousands of better parks in Europe
Robert Moses F’ed everything up.
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?,..
I was the 1000th person to like this.
Hes like kevin spacey but innocent
man that guy need to breath a little sometimes hahaha but this was great though!
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.
This is what China needs more of right?
Please translate to arabic languge
Parks are the ultimate Gentrification....
How ?
Worst ted lecture.
