Parks and Place: Andrew Silver at TEDxMacon
Channel: TEDx Talks
Date: 2012-05-25

Andrew Silver, a professor at Mercer University, discusses the importance of place and home.  He suggests that multi-use parks can offer a sense of place, and more importantly a sense of community and home.

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)
