In the spirit of ideas
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)
As part of the independently organised TEDx program, the University of Wollongong invited a mix of engaging speakers to construct their vision of tomorrow and discuss what it takes to build a sustainable, happy future. The result was a veritable kaleidoscope of ideas.
According to Professor Pascal Perez, 'liveable' cities, like his hometown of Gerringong -- with its small community, rolling hills and coastal scapes -- may be a thing of the past as the number of city-dwellers pushes beyond 50% of the world's total population. 'Liveability' relies on a number of factors that affect the overall quality of life and relates to the physical environment, as well as cultural and social possibilities of a community.
Pascal is responsible for the management and delivery of all aspects of infrastructure modelling and simulation at the SMART Infrastructure Facility at the University of Wollongong. As Research Director he is responsible for SMART's academic governance and for establishing strategic scientific partnerships in Australia and beyond.
