For the first time in history, the TED Prize winner is not an individual, but an idea that greatly impacts the future of planet Earth… and the winner is The City 2.0.
The City 2.0 is the city of the future, a future in which more than ten billion people are dependent on. The idea is not a “sterile utopian dream” but rather a “real-world upgrade tapping into humanity’s collective wisdom.” More urban living space will be constructed over the next 90 years than all prior centuries combined, so it is time to get it right. Continue reading for more information on The City 2.0 and details on how you can participate. Provided by the TED Prize press release: Each year, TED Prize is awarded to an “exceptional individual” who receives $100,000 and “One Wish to Change the World.”
Back in 2006, TIME’s person of the year was YOU. The wish will be announced on February 29th, 2012 at the TED Conference in Long Beach, California. Reference: TED Prize, TIME Magazine.
