Tim Wu, the scholar who coined "net neutrality," examines how big tech platforms have reshaped our economy. In his latest book, *The Age of Extraction*, Wu argues that the internet, once seen as a source of widespread wealth and democracy, has instead created new economic classes and fostered autocracy. He proposes solutions to harness technology for the greater good and build a more balanced economy.

Join Tim Wu, author of *The Age of Extraction*, and journalist Laura Sydell on November 10, 2025, to discuss reclaiming economic control. This program is supported by the Ken & Jaclyn Broad Family Fund and partnered with the Center for Humane Technology.

Rapid decarbonization of Western lifestyles is essential to avoid catastrophic climate change. This talk, based on the EU-funded CityZEN project, outlines a methodology to engage communities in envisioning a shared, carbon-free future. By visualizing individual carbon footprints, design interventions can transform consumption across urban space, mobility, and energy, creating bio-diverse, prosperous, and connected neighborhoods.

Greg Keeffe, Professor of Sustainable Architecture at Queens University Belfast, is an academic and urban designer with over 30 years' experience in sustainability. He develops innovative solutions for urban revitalization and theoretical hypotheses for our future existence. This presentation was delivered at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.
