2012 TED Prize Winner: City 2.0

For the first time in its history, TED Prize was awarded to an idea, and not an individual. The purpose of the TED Prize is to inspire action. The 2012 TED Prize was awarded to City 2.0

City 2.0 is a platform for the city of the future where ten billion people would live sustainably. It would tap into people’s collective wisdom and promote innovation, education, culture, and economic opportunity. It would be a place of beauty, wonder, excitement, inclusion, diversity and life. It would be a city that works.

"Imagine a platform that brings you together, locally and globally. Combine the reach of the cloud with the power of the crowd. Connect leaders, experts, companies, organizations and citizens. Share your tools, data, designs, successes, and ideas. Turn them into action."
