The town where everyone is a developer | Rob Hopkins | TEDxTotnes
Rob discusses a ground-breaking idea which places town planning into the hands of the community.
Rob Hopkins is one of the UK’s most influential environmentalists. He is co-founder of Transition Network and Transition Town Totnes, and a founder of the Transition movement, once described by the BBC as “the biggest urban brainwave of the century”.
In 2005, Rob moved to Devon and set up Transition Town Totnes – which he describes as a ‘make it up as we go along community-led effort’. Transition Town Totnes is now at the heart of the Totnes economy, creating new jobs, encouraging new enterprises and helping existing local businesses thrive. It has kicked off more than 40 local projects, ranging from bike mending and grafting trees to a community energy company with 500 members.
Inspired by the example of Totnes, community projects started popping up around the world. So, in 2007, Rob formed the Transition Network to support, encourage, network and train the burgeoning number of Transition initiatives. There are now more than 1,000 Transition Initiatives in nearly 50 countries
