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

[MARTO HOARY]

David,
Thank you for sharing this. It is most interesting. It raises quite a few
questions about the broader social infrastructure but it sounds
fascinating. I immediately think of the German architect who has a ted talk
on the merits of clay structures (multistory). See Anne Hereger TED talk on
https://youtu.be/x7I5BWW-0c8

Food for thought, urgent thought.

Marto
