At City Collab we are passionate about using the power of storytelling to elevate the level of conversation around urban issues and inspire engagement towards making real change happen on ground. And what better way to start this blog than with a list of our favourite TED Talks about citizenship and collaborative action in cities! These come from incredibly awesome people from around the world who share our belief in communication and citizen engagement as being fundamental to changing the face of their cities. We hope you will find them as inspiring as we do! Drop us a comment if you do!
