Walter Hood :How urban spaces can preserve history and build community


Walter Hood at TED2018   (transcript)
How urban spaces can preserve history and build community
Summary
In the title, history shows our past, thus build community can show our future, so urban spaces should be places which can preserve the past and create the future, right?
People have various history. They remember them sometimes and they forget them sometimes.  They want to remember better things, but want to forget worse things.

However, great things happen when we exist in each other's world. 1)
Although we divide all things twoness, it'll be better that there's an ambiguity.  2)
People have empathy, 3) the traditional belongs to all of us, 4) and there are many different ways to remember something. 5)

Landscapes can help those.  A place you stand now might be a place where wars or fights occurred, or where black people and white people were divided, or where women suffered. The speaker works to create such places. Urban always changes new, though, people can remember history there.

Words in this story
