Landscape architect Walter Hood has explored this question over the course of an iconic career, with projects ranging from Lafayette Square Park in San Francisco to the upcoming International African American Museum in Charleston, South Carolina. In this inspiring talk packed with images of his work, Hood shares the five simple concepts that guide his approach to creating spaces that illuminate shared memories and force us to look at one another in a different way.

Can we fix Detroit though?
Home ownership is super easy in Detroit. You can buy a house for $1000. The problem is who wants to live there? https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/14/cheap-detroit-houses-auction_n_5148152.html
As to well paying jobs, does Detroit have the kind of labor pool for such jobs? When government is already giving you free food, free health care, and even free phone, why get a job and disqualify yourself for all the free stuff?
And don’t forget Devil’s Night…. free fireworks!!

The colonial states will suffer the consequences of cruelty, massacres and unscrupulous acts to date.
The world’s greatest and wildest genocide was against North and South American residents.
In 1945, atomic bombs that were delivered onto Hiroshima and Nagasaki destroyed more than a hundred thousand people.
Also in February 1945, the United States and Britain bombarded Dresden, killing hundreds of thousands of spikes in a few days.
Also one cannot do without mentioning the countless persecutions and massacres of the Soviet Union.
The Catholic Church has burned many people alive.
I now ask: Will all these atrocities, slaughter be unpunished?
Of course not!
That atheists do not believe in divine justice is not the proof that there is no divine justice.
Europe is no longer Jewish-Christian, but paganized.
Pagan civilization and morality are rapidly dragging the world and humanity into the Third World War.
Western civilization, which is contrary to philosophy, has made the world uninhabitable.
In all the heavenly religions, there is a mention of the divine time wars.
The world and humanity will be ruined and sank because of their reproach.
Could it be said that the Zionists have followed the Torah?
Are Christians on the path of Jesus?
Their true religion is the Golden Calf.
Teachings of Jesus Christ are not all about singing songs in Churches and reading deities.
Zionism and the state of Israel which are totally contrary to the Torah will bring terrible disasters to Jews and all humanity.
As Kierkegaard said, they spit on his grave, saying, “Jesus.”
They have followed Satan and Taghut.
First and second world wars and the madness of the Soviet Union did not bring their minds to their heads.
The brainless civilization that sinks the world but at the same time sends satellite to Mars.
Crazy civilization melting polar ice.
Civilization invented and discovered nuclear weapons that could destroy mankind not only once but also thousands of times.
The civilization of sin, rebellion and pleasure!
TED has cancer. It’s been diagnosed as SJW disease. After years of observing this pernicious disease I have yet to see any organization recover.
#Now the ques is that who will take care of these public places to make intact them for long time as u said mayor denied the money?? Designers will do or they will turn down into slums..
Anyone here to explain the main idea of this video in a simple way I didn’t understand it well because my English is weak
