- This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. What do baristas and ranchers have to learn from each other? In this inspiring talk, rancher and city-planner Brad Buchanan reveals how he combines these experiences designing spaces helping connect us to each other while preserving the groundedness that comes from access to open spaces. From this design philosophy, Brad sees a cure for urban sprawl.
Brad is the executive director of Denver’s community planning and development department, which provides all short and long-range planning along with managing all zoning, permitting, inspections, and historic preservation processes for the city. During every other spare minute, Brad and his family own and operate the Flying B Bar Ranch where they raise grass-fed cattle. Brad is trained as an architect, and was elected to the fellowship program in the American Institute of Architects in 2005 as one who has made a significant contribution to architecture and society on a national level.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event 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)
What we have been struggling with is a system that rewards "rent-seeking" speculation in land over the production of goods and services. A low effective rate of taxation on the potential rental value of land causes land extensive development, sprawl. What needs to be done is to change the way property is taxed, exempting property improvements from the tax base and publicly collecting the potential annual rental value of all land held. This is the only means of effectively taming sprawling development, of bringing land in the cities to its highest, best use.
