Why we should design cities like Disney | Zach DeBoer | TEDxSioux Falls

Disney theme parks are some of the most visited destinations in the world – and for good reason. They are masterfully designed to transport guests into a whole new world through immersive storytelling and theming. From the stunning architecture and landscaping to the variety of live entertainment and one-of-a-kind experiences, every element of a Disney theme park is carefully crafted to create an atmosphere of magic and wonder. But what if those things didn’t have to stay on vacation? What if we could bring some of that magic back home to our own communities? During his talk, Zach will share examples of placemaking, economic development, and community-building techniques through the lens of Disney theme parks and how you can use them to transform your own community into the happiest place on earth. Zach DeBoer is a community-based artist working primarily in creative placemaking. He is inspired by the transformative power that art and design have on the places people love. Zach is passionate about public art integration, civic engagement, and designing more equitable cities.

An interdisciplinary artist, Zach's past work includes a variety of public murals, tactical urbanism projects, and the organization of dozens of arts and culture events throughout the region. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
