Reinventing New York Harbor | Rich Marin | TEDxStGeorge

Описание: This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Harbors are like Batman, they need a Robin to compliment them. New York Harbor, the Gotham of global harbors, has St. George, but over the years this harbor has lost its southern end in the mist. Through the passion of the community and a panoply of developers and ferry companies, a world-class, iconic destination has been formulated for the southern end of the harbor, finally creating an amazing venue that will be a global showcase of technology, entertainment and design, anchored by the largest observation wheel in the world.

He was a member of the management committees at three major Wall Street firms and CEO of major commercial property developer.

He recently published Global Pension Crisis: Unfunded Liabilities and How We Can Fill the Gap 2013 Wiley& Sons and speaks globally on this and related topics.
