This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. In this action pitch, Ed makes a case for elevating our shared urban experience into a new dimension. He envisions farm-to-fork growing to include roof-to-fork. Rooftop Alliance aims to reduce urban heat island effects and building energy use, to manage stormwater in a smarter way, and to turn rooftops into public spaces.
Landscape architect and co-founder of Rooftop Alliance, Ed Chandler envisions making cities green and beautiful at every level by transforming rooftops into fruitful public spaces.
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)
