More Than One Good Idea


Richard Saul Wurman, the creator of TED (technology, entertainment & design) conference is on to another new project. The website address is : http://www.192021.org/

His idea is to look at the 19 world cities which will have 20 million population by 2021 and to develop the methodology of comparatively understanding planet earth for people.
Two of these 19 cities are in the U.S.: Los Angeles and New York city -- most are in the East and FarEast. Most of them are seaports (and therefore will be most affected by a rise in sea level due to global warming).

Wurman is a genius at simplifying complex and important stuff.
