Embrace Possibilities | Yichen Li | TEDxLitai Cambridge Youth
The theme of this speech is Embracing Possibilities , which is a natural and indispensable part of life. Instead of fearing uncertainty, we should regard it as an opportunity for growth, learning, and self-discovery. Embracing possibilities is not about striving for perfection, but about moving forward in the face of challenges and learning along the way. As we step into adulthood, this mindset will enable us to confidently deal with the possibilities in education, career, and life. Ultimately, uncertainty is not a flaw in the system of life, but a trait that propels our evolution and prosperity. Yichen Li is a passionate student who has always been driven by curiosity and the desire to explore the unknown. Her TED Talk, titled "Embrace Possibilities," is a testament to her belief that the future is not something to be predicted, but something to be created.

- 17:33Reclaiming Urban Nature: Green Spaces for Climate Resilience | Manushi Jain | TEDxIIT PatnaIn this age of the Anthropocene, our cities face unprecedented challenges from climate change, including flooding, water scarcity, and rising temperatures. As Director of Design, Operations, and Communications at the Sponge Collaborative, Manushi Ashok Jain presents a compelling vision for integrating blue-green infrastructure into urban planning to combat these challenges. Drawing from successful projects across Chennai and other Indian cities, this talk explores how the Sponge City approach transforms concrete-dominated urban landscapes into resilient ecosystems capable of absorbing, storing, and purifying water. Through case studies of urban wetland parks, lake restoration projects, and neighborhood sponge interventions, Jain demonstrates how cities can work with nature rather than against it. The presentation highlights how strategic implementation of urban green spaces delivers multiple benefits beyond flood prevention – including reduced urban heat, enhanced biodiversity, improved public health, and strengthened community bonds. By reimagining cities as living systems rather than concrete jungles, we can create more sustainable, equitable, and climate-adaptive urban environments for generations to come. Manushi, an Architect and Urban Designer, has worked globally since 2012 in cities like Boston, NYC, Singapore, Mumbai, Bangalore, Afghanistan, France, and Croatia. Her work focuses on making cities more sustainable and permeable, addressing urban housing, hyper-density, and resiliency in urban development. In Afghanistan, she contributed to rebuilding efforts through sustainable design practices. With a Master’s in Architecture and Urban Design from Pratt Institute, NY, she employs innovative methods to bridge the relationship between architecture and urban design. She received the Creative Thesis Design Medal by A+D magazine and has been shortlisted for various international design competitions.
