“In places like the Hill District, you stayed. People stayed! Because there’s something here. There’s history.” - Walter Hood #inspirespeakerspgh

“We need to be forced to come to terms with the memory of place.” —Walter Hood of @HDHoodDesign at #TED2018

57. So many of our public spaces have failed to tap into people's personal experience of race, culture, inequality. By paying attention to those things, we can create vibrant new urban landscapes. @hdhooddesign #TED2018

It's our shared spaces, the places that we recognize as communal — public walkways, parks, gardens, infrastructure — that create our sense of unity and shared memory, says @hdhooddesign. #TED2018

RT @johncary: “Why do we have to have cataclysmic events to be empathetic?” —Walter Hood of @HDHoodDesign at #TED2018
