Shannon Royden-Turner: Urban Infrastructure Planner

Understanding the difference between the artificial ecosystems, such as cities and towns, and those of the natural world help us to find inspiration and real solutions to our current day challenges, solutions that have been tried and tested for the past 3.8 million years.

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)
