As director of the School of landscape architecture at the Université de Montreal and founder of WANTED Landscape, Paula Meijerink reconciles practice and teaching. Through her work and academic functions, she sees design as an instrument of change. She launched On Asphalt, an organization that aims to use innovative projects to transform cultural perceptions of asphalt spaces, and suggest more ecology-friendly alternatives of greater spatial and visual quality.

About TEDx
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
