                        2012 TED大奖得主揭晓——城市2.0                        

TED 非常荣幸宣布了2012 TED大奖的得主。

这是历史上第一次大奖授予非个人，而是一个点子。一个地球未来所依托的点子。

2012 TED大奖被授予给城市2.0.

城市2.0是指未来的城市，未来上百亿人在地球上必须以可持续的方式生活。城市2.0并不是一个纯净的乌托邦梦想，而是现实世界因人类集体智慧的开拓升级。

城市2.0提供了了创新、教育、文化和经济机遇。

城市2.0减少了住户的碳足迹，有利于家庭小型化，简化了对世界农村地区的环境压力。

城市2.0集美丽、奇迹、激动、包容、多样、生活于一体。

城市2.0是城市的运行模式。

TED大奖补助得主10万美元，以及一个改变世界的愿望。城市2.0是如何接受这个奖项的呢？通过世界各地远见的为此奋斗的人们。

我们倾听他们的想法并给予他们机会去集体许一个愿望。一个能够点燃全球的TED社区的成员，以及所有关心我们这个星球未来的人们的一个巨大合作项目的愿望。 那些希望代表城市2.0、愿

意给TED大奖贡献自己想法的个人或组织，请联系tedprize@ted.com。

愿望将于2012年2月29日在加利福利亚长滩上的TED大会揭晓。在如此一个时机，我们有这么一个机会，汇集众人力量，向前迈出巨大飞跃。

                        

                        2012 TED大奖得主常见问答                        

                        为什么TED将2012 TED大奖授予一个想法而非某个人？                        

因为这个想法可以激励全世界百万计的人们，去贡献给人类所面临的最大的机遇与挑战。

这是TED大奖的一贯目标——去激励行动。在过去我们给以个人信任去做出行动。

然而，城市的未来是个显而易见的问题。这么多的个人、组织、企业正在做着壮举，因此，TED大奖选择奖励想法而不是对单个的个人。

                        

                        这是一个永久性的改变，去专注于想法吗？                        

事实上大奖以往都是专注于想法上。自从2005年开始时起，大奖就被授予拥有可以改变世界想法的个人。

我们愿意继续这么做，并且每一年TED期望能够挑选出一个可标点的、值得一个改变世界愿望的人或想法，从而给予人们惊喜。

                        

                        谁将许下并且监督这次TED大奖愿望？                        

TED大奖筹备并集一组具有元件的城市规划师、建筑师、技师、作者、决策者和经济学家去倡导城市2.0并且许出足以激励许多人共同完成的集体行动。愿望将于2012年2月29日TED大奖环节中揭晓。

                        

                        每年的10万美元是如何花掉的？                        

在过去，TED大奖得主接受10万美元并且没有任何使用限制。更多时候，得主会重新投资到愿望或者他/她的基金会中。今年，奖金将直接被投资到城市2.0愿望的实现中。

Announcing the 2012 TED Prize Winner – The City 2.0

TED is pleased to announce the winner of the 2012 TED Prize.



For the first time in the history of the prize, it is being awarded not to an individual, but to an idea. It is an idea upon which our planet’s future depends.



The 2012 TED Prize is awarded to….the City 2.0.



The City 2.0 is the city of the future… a future in which more than ten billion people on planet Earth must somehow live sustainably.



The City 2.0 is not a sterile utopian dream, but a real-world upgrade tapping into humanity’s collective wisdom.



The City 2.0 promotes innovation, education, culture, and economic opportunity.



The City 2.0 reduces the carbon footprint of its occupants, facilitates smaller families, and eases the environmental pressure on the world’s rural areas.



The City 2.0 is a place of beauty, wonder, excitement, inclusion, diversity, life.



The City 2.0 is the city that works.



The TED Prize grants its winner $100,000 and “one wish to change the world.” How will this prize be accepted on behalf of the City 2.0? Through visionary individuals around the world who are advocating on its behalf.



We are listening to them and giving them the opportunity to collectively craft a wish. A wish capable of igniting a massive collaborative project among the members of the global TED community, and indeed all who care about our planet’s future. (Individuals or organizations who wish to contribute their ideas to a TED Prize wish on behalf of The City 2.0 should write to tedprize@ted.com)



The wish will be unveiled on February 29, 2012 at the TED Conference in Long Beach, California. On a Leap Year date, we have a chance, collectively, to take a giant leap forward.



Sign up in the sidebar (under Stay Informed) to get news and updates about the TED Prize and watching the unveiling live this coming February.



Join us for a conversation on the new winner. Tell us what you would wish for on behalf of the City 2.0



2012 TED PRIZE WINNER FAQ



Why is TED awarding the 2012 TED Prize to an idea and not a person?



Because this idea is capable of inspiring millions of people around the world to contribute to one of the biggest challenges and opportunities humanity faces.



That has always been the purpose of the TED Prize – to inspire action. In the past we’ve entrusted individuals to do this.



But the future of cities is such a significant issue, with so many individuals, organizations and companies doing spectacular work, which is why the TED Prize chose not to single out one individual, but honor the idea itself.



Is this a permanent change – to focus on ideas?







Actually the Prize has always been focused on ideas. Since its inception in 2005, the Prize has sought out individuals with the ideas best able to change the world.



We will continue to do this… and each year TED looks forward to surprising people in its selection of one remarkable person – or one remarkable idea – that merits a world-changing wish.



Who will make and oversee this year’s TED Prize wish?







The TED Prize organizing team is bringing together a group of visionaries — urban planners, architects, technologists, authors, policy makers, and economists — to act as advocates for The City 2.0 and craft a wish capable of inspiring collaborative action by many. The wish will be unveiled during the TED Prize session on February 29, 2012.



How will the annual $100,000 be used?







In the past, the TED Prize winner received $100,000 without any conditions on how it could be used. Most often, the winner either reinvested the money into the wish or into his or her foundation. This year, the money will be invested directly in seeding the Wish to be made on behalf of The City 2.0.
