Why We All Should Be Gardeners in the Eco-Cities of the Future

TEDxMünster
• October 2019
Humans need a sense of belonging and connectedness - now more than ever. But the cities of today can’t tend to those needs. On the contrary, they make climate change worse, and they don’t provide enough opportunities to overcome social segregation and estrangement. In her talk, Laura Gatti presents her vision of the ecological city: a resilient and human-centered city design where people live within a green environment.
Laura Gatti is an agronomist and a passionate tree lover. Together with the Italian architect Stefano Boeri, she realized the Bosco Verticale („horizontal woods“) in Milan, and is planning another spectacular green building for Utrecht main station in the Netherlands.
