TEDxCLE - Terry Schwarz - 2/26/10

Description: About Terry Schwarz of Kent State University's Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative and Pop City Cleveland Note from the TEDxCLE founders: When we began planning TEDxCLE, we knew that we wanted to involve Terry Schwarz. More than being a "optimist," Terry Schwarz is a "realist." She accepts that cities change over time - sometimes shrinking before they can grow. But she also knows that there is joy to be found in the transition of cities. She inspires all of us to love the city we were, we are, and the city that she knows we can be.
