The power and potential of parks | Amalie Wright | TEDxQUT

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Public spaces have the power to shape how we feel about our community. Amalie Wright is passionate about rethinking the way that we use parks and understanding that using them well can be transformative. Amalie is an architect and landscape architect, passionate about achieving positive change through good design. In 2007 she was awarded the mecu Travel Bursary, awarded by Brisbane’s Centre for Subtropical Design, enabling her to study the changing role of city parks in Colombia and the United States. She was subsequently commissioned by CSIRO Publishing to develop her research into a book, and Future Park: imagining tomorrow’s urban parks was published last year. For nearly 20 years Amalie has worked across many project types and scales, from public art and furniture, to residential developments and parkland, resort hotels, commercial precincts and transport infrastructure. She is now enjoying the challenge of running her own company, Landscapology. Amalie sits on the Queensland Executive of the Australian Institute of Landscape Architects, and tutors in design at QUT. About TEDx, x = independently organized event 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)
