[Craic] Check out this TED Talk! Visionary City Planning

[Allan Baker]

Thank you David.
What an inspiration this TED Talk is, and he did it without mentioning the “15 minute” thing.

I initially was concerned about bis population projection, and wondered how he would tie that with climate  adaptation.

Stay hopeful;
Allan
