On September 20, TEDCity2.0 featured over 20 speakers from different fields who came together to envision the cities of our future and share ideas about collaborative action and sustainable solutions. Out of the entire program, we would highlight talks by architects and urban practitioners such as Ananya Roy‘s “What Makes a World Class City” in Session 1: Redefining Citizen,” and all of those in Session 4: Redrawing Geographies, which included Enrique Peñalosa, Alan Ricks and Francis Kéré.
