TED Talk Reflection Urban Renewal - Essay Example

One of the most interesting things to me was the way Majora Carter talked about how rich people's decisions had hurt her community in the past, but how all she wanted to do now was make life better in the city for everybody.  It was inspiring to see that she was more interested in making her own community better and not in punishing the people who had made her community so bad in the first place.  Especially because her own life had been made worse as well in the start because of that. 

Because it was easy to relate to Majora Carter, her talk was very interesting.  I also liked how she explained how things would affect people and not just what they were.  The thing I wanted to learn more about was green roofs.  According to Majora Carter, these are roofs made out of plants and soil instead of normal roof material.  I guess this would be like having a garden on your roof, and I think it would be really nice to have a whole city of nothing but green roofs.  It would be like turning a whole city into a garden.  I will be looking up more about these to see how they work and what you need to do to get one.
