Cities are People | Nick Tyler | TEDxWarwickSalon

In this talk, Nick Tyler illustrates how we can design cities for the future though analysing human behaviour and evaluating what a city needs if it were a person. His ideas introduce a new era of civil engineering and architecture to lead our cities into the future, through the creation of more habitable spaces and social environments by means of design. Nick is the Chadwick Professor of Civil Engineering at UCL. He invented, and runs, the UCL Pedestrian Accessibility and Movement Environment Laboratory, which is a life-scale environmental space, to conduct his research into the environment's interactions with people. He is working extensively with bodies such as Transport for London, national and local governments, and civil society in the UK, EU, Latin America, Japan and China to help create an adaptive and sustainable urban realm which is responsive to people and their needs. He aims to create cities in which all people can feel comfortable and lead healthy
lives. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
