TED Prize winners are usually individuals. This year, though, TED has decided to award the $100,000 in prize money to an idea, The City 2.0. In TED’s own words, The City 2.0 is
the city of the future… a future in which more than ten billion people on planet Earth must somehow live sustainably.
While we may know where the prize money is going, TED is making us wait to learn more. The folks at TED Prize are organizing a group of “visionary individuals” to create one “wish” to promote on behalf the The City 2.0. The wish will be revealed at the TED conference on 2/29/12.
Does it all sound a bit confusing? Yeah, a bit. But we like that the folks at TED are bringing sustainable cities to the forefront of people’s minds. Everyone can play a part in developing the “wish” for The City 2.0. Simply visit the TED Prize site, and have your say.
