Idea Introduction

Mark’s TEDx Talk explores how nature’s mathematical principles—like the Fibonacci sequence—offer more than beauty; they provide a blueprint for more resilient and efficient cities. By integrating AI, satellite technology, and data-driven insights, Mark demonstrates how cities can optimize waste management, energy use, and urban planning just as nature has perfected survival over millions of years. Through this lens, he envisions a future where cities don’t just expand, but evolve—adapting, responding, and thriving like living ecosystems.

What is TEDx?

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.

Our event is called TEDxJumeirahBeachPark, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxJumeirahBeachPark event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.

The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
