Amanda Burden: How public spaces make cities work

What a brilliantly engaging yet simple talk. And delivered so simply and elegantly by this lovely woman! Watched this 3 times to soak it all in. Thank you for this!

Ben neden bunu izlemek zorundayım ?

if you want God to forgive you dont commet here just go to the church and pray.

as a urban planning student her Talk has made me smile the whole video, and i really agree with her, even though that creating a public space is always challanging because if it doesn´t work, it would probably becoming a criminal place or a place where people don´t feel safe. but let´s take the positive side of the open public space and try to give our best to create it to make the place or even the world better.

“I believe city planning is like a party, people stay when they have a good time”. This is actually a quote from danish city planner Jan Gehl. He wrote it in his book “Cities for People”. I want to give credits to him, because he is one of the reasons cities like New York have a different view on public spaces.

amazing

Taking cars away? Is that the idea?

I have to listen to this for an assignement, yay

She does something remarkable

wow, so much content from william whyte, it feels as if he was presenting this himself.

I watched this during 4th Covid-19 lockdown in Malaysia. I, too, cheered when Ms Amanda mentioned High Line <3 I was there a couple of days before Thanksgiving of 2015, and i LOVED it! I hope this pandemic will end soon so that I could visit High Line again!

Excelente Amanda te Felicito!!!!

Amazing amazing work

Her "undesirable people" comment put a really bad taste in my mouth. How dare Bloomberg promote someone like this to city planner.

put the cap on the CBE ! cross bronx expressway .
use new land from cap project to build affordable housing.
put a cap on RR tracks, north park ave line - bronx, 132 st -190 st.
use land for affordable housing.
build on the long island sound " A florida keys style
overseas highway " . this will relieve the CBE

bravo maam!

I really love the way she explained it as an Architect student I'm really inspired. Thank you for that wonderful speech, I've learned a lot <3

im introvert but i love alive city

Such a pleasure to watch her tell about what she has took part in. You can see by her face or in her voice that she is proud of what had been done and determined to do more
My pleasure

She should teach urban design courses if she isn't already.

What a wonderful job she has. She has a direct impact on people’s lives and she gets to see the results of her work on communities in her city.

Privileged Amanda is very overrated. Daughter of a rich socialite.

Tried what you did in Manhattan in small dumpy American and Canadian cities cities and drive through streets...and suburbs....that's a real task.
You had a very easy job and the jobs and positions was handed to you on a silver platter.
And you never actually did any of the walking you said you did...entry level urban planners did it, you liar, but it makes a good Ted story.

Privileged liars

Art is important

I love the message she put out. People want to stay in a city with close public parks and public places to relax. More parks equal more residences for that city, especially a beautiful one like this.

i love this woman

New York is a capital of corruption. Manhattan is good to film apocalypse movies. Extremely filthy, unwelcoming, hot subway. Whole Manhattan full of junkies, bums, insane people and potholes. Third world with a most amazing set of buildings you can't see.

I’m forst to watch thus from school

Yes humanity has all solutions!

Friggin developers..

Great sign off to a great talk

Thank you Amanda Burden, you have inspired me greatly. Thank you for the amazing work you have done <3

find your won seaT?

Wow the Swedish subtitles are really great! It's even written with swedish expression, not just directly translated!

Inspiring!

Why just don't use building tops to build parks and connect them by bridges? This space is not used anyway.

2023 and people are paying thousands for closets...

Love this. Qouting it everywhere i go from here on!

Whom intimiderende
Wants ideas,.

Is the New York pocket park shown at the start, the one featured in Annie Hall ?

What a great contribution to new york from a resilient and imaginative public servant.

As a student urban planner I found her very inspiring

"People stay because they are happy". You told us everything

She does look like her mother - Babe Paley

Oh my God, the passion in her voice! Made me wish I could be a city planner
