The idea of Smaller Towns, Bigger Thinking and the license for TEDxSkyforest are brought to you by Aminah Teachout.  Born in the San Bernardino Mountains and now a small business owner in Skyforest, CA, she is drawn to TEDxing as a valuable community service and as a means of merging her beautiful mountain community with the global world of TED.

Neighbor: What is a Smaller Town, anyway?

Aminah: 10,000 people. That’s a Smaller Town, today. Between one thousand and twenty thousand people is considered a Town. At 100,000 a collection of humans graduates to City status. Once population reaches one million, we are talking about high density humanity from then on.

Neighbor: High density humanity?

Aminah: Metropolis... Megalopolis... Ecumenpolis...

Neighbor: Ecumenpolis?

Aminah: Yep, a planet-wide city.
