The Copenhagenize project: Mary Embry at TEDxCopenhagen 2012 |
|
The original term 'copenhagenise' described the British habit of taking a defeated enemy's navy home with them, as Admiral Nelson did after bombing Copenhagen in 1807.
In her talk, The Copenhagenize Project, Embry reveals its current meaning: A positive brand for creating mainstream bicycle culture and liveable cities. http://www.copenhagenize.eu/ 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) |
