Paul Chatterton teaches in the School of Geography at the University of Leeds, with interests in campaigning techniques, urban social movements, urban development and how city centres are being privatised and corporatised, as well as and alternative models for development, looking at the potential for self-management.
Paul is one of the founders of LILAC Leeds, a member-led eco-housing neighbourhood right in the heart of inner city Leeds, affordable and built to the highest ecological standards with social interaction between its residents at its heart.

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)
