A STEALTHY REIMAGINING OF URBAN PUBLIC SPACE

Elizabeth Diller|TEDWomen 2020 (ted.com)

Cities are becoming increasingly privatized: commercial real estate dominates the streets, carving up open space that once belonged to the public and selling it as a commodity to the highest bidder. Architect Elizabeth Diller explores the causes and effects of this growing threat — and takes us on tour of her groundbreaking projects aimed at creating landscapes for the public to enjoy, from the High Line in New York City to Zaryadye Park in Moscow.

This talk was presented at an official TED conference, and was featured by our editors on the home page.
