How individual actions can create collective resilience | Veronika Kovácsová | TEDxViennaSalon

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Cities are continually grappling with new spatial, social, economic and environmental questions and challenges. Correspondingly, the roles and responsibilities of municipalities and citizens are changing as traditional hierarchies flatten. Citizens are (re)creating and adopting both public and private spaces, demonstrating a new collective responsibility for their environment. But can co-operations between citizens, municipalities, public and private bodies make the city more resourceful and resilient? Veronika Kovácsová (1984) is an urban entrepreneur, designer and researcher (in 2014 graduated at the Amsterdam Academy of Architecture, MUrb. and in 2009 at University of Amsterdam, MSc. in sociology). She lives in Vienna and is working at feld72 architecture and urban strategies. She is one of the founding member of Paradocks, a think-and-do tank creating new use and meaning of (formerly) vacant urban spaces in Vienna, co-initiator of Na Streche (On the Roof), a project revitalizing and opening up an unused 1500m2 roof terrace in Bratislava and a member of Vnútroblok, an experimental platform dedicated to dynamics of social and physical urban spaces. 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)
