This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Design has the ability to change a place through information and creativity.  In a time when we have much more available information than ever before, architects, engineers, and developers are missing their opportunity to use that data as a creative outlet.  As our cities continue to grow larger every year, how can data be used to solve design problems in urban neighborhoods?

About TEDx, x = independently organized event 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)
