Transcripts For DW Redesigning 20240706

Starts june, 3rd, p w the, the city of barcelona is creating new sensation worldwide. Entire neighborhoods are being closed off the traffic, the asphalt ripped up and trees planted. And that sense, the cities deputy mayor is behind the change. Those are key formulas eunice. This is where we started to restore public spaces. As you can see, weve created spaces for pedestrian every way, intersection with a primary focus on the most popular. And those pulses them down stairs be more, weve converted the former traffic into sections into completely new holidays and most so. Last 500 suns is one of the many planners world wide works you to regenerate cities, metropolises such as barcelona powers, berlin and copenhagen piece 3 huge challenges. Air pollution, climate change, and lack of space. The power, the cities dealing with these challenges the 3 years barcelona has struggled with rising pollution levels. Limits for both nitrogen oxides and particulate matter are constantly exceeding. Meanwhile, Global Warming continues to cause record temperatures. City council has responded with radical changes. Theyre closing off entire districts to road traffic and creating stability. Yes or super blocks be over the timing concept is causing the stair the people down. We now have numerous green areas for generating a cooler oven time it and weve also created a space where costs can still drive that very slowly. Um the speed limits here is just 10 kilometers per hour. Barcelona is especially well suited to change. Urban planners are taking advantage of the citys distinctive checkerboard structure. The videos are to be built everywhere. The concept just re purposing space, but the pedestrians inside the list and parts to sum squares and streets will be completely closed. The others will be single lane through traffic is no longer possible, apart from a few selected streams. Nitrogen oxide pollution filled by 33 percent in the 1st 2 districts where super blocks were created. Or the colonial pandemic showed just how clean the air and bus so the one that can be joining the lock down in spring and summer. 2020 air pollution in the city st dramatically for the 1st time. And you air quality standards were met. But its pandemic restrictions receive. Air pollution is on the rice again see month to get them on the bottle. Here during the pandemic life, it was hardly any traffic. So pollution levels will know, get a muscle if we just contain that level of idea, we could save 600. 00 lives. Thats the yeah, the 600. 00, if you, with that with those kinds of stuff, it would be irresponsible to do nothing at all. So if you only response, have a need up. But what does this change mean for Business People and shop owners . At 1st that was skepticism and protest. Because as judy audi, yes, explains. Business owners werent involved the joe person of the sent and join the Traders Association own safety shop on one of the districts converted streets like to help the development they escaped, a less cortez. And the, for the main increase is in these big costs con, drive into the neighborhood. Again, some traders have complained that its main to lots of custom to be on property. That way, im fairly though, you know, theyre still used to the name most escaped and the studies show that people who have come on foot by trade do indeed go shopping. In fact, they buy more when they will come through the city. Discovering the shops implemented a c o e in, but i see that well, no ones studies indicates that call dr. Is by may want to go to them on combining. What if we have to get that idea figured out to go ahead, go to be glad all is going to be a good idea of this been done. The majority of the us is also taking part in the study since january 2019. The city has been evaluating credit card pay and still retailers in the district results show that despite the pandemic stump singles and this to buddy are considerably higher than elsewhere in the city. A join or the other one didnt get into the me sales have increased. Yes, some complained about not being able to come by cost, but people adapting and then now taking the underground the super e a hasnt stokes that from shopping the number to the, the oldest buddy of the city. Both lino was opened in 2016 today, yoga classes meet at the black golf street. The super video still looks a bit to make shift. Most of the trees have yet to be planted, but that will all change soon. You can find a bicycle at one of the many rented bike stations or get yourself a cheap public transport ticket. The ideas to make the car redundant spaces once designed for cars, now belong to foot traffic. Its a no money to we go much more space. And its easier to meet the neighbors and work out the activity that all of us here and the residents. So were very grateful as low. The symbols, the City Government has already created 6 videos, 3 more are on the way of further 8 pacified zones are in planning. One advantage of the concept is that its relatively cheap. Barcelona has invested only 38000000 euros in the 1st phase. This is how some of the streets should look one day like barcelona 100 years go. Totally car free. And one is more for me, nice. Talking to someone who is living done this. Ive been planning is feminist. Elizabeth. No ones life behind. Till now and time is heavy collected an important part of the population. Then we know that women are more likely to use public transport. Less likely to use a call for the women who suffer more from the bad air and ask for mama for pregnant women. Theres a higher risk to the child. This is an injustice which needs to be corrected with sensible planning on the categories and left for my planning. The City Government once every 3rd street in barcelona to be closed by the end of the decade. By the end there should be 500. 00 super. Yes. The urban climate will be substantially improved and citizens will have a much greater freedom of movement. The in germanys capital g. Many residents would welcome carp restraints. They were specially concerned for the safety of their children. In 2020, a total of 17 cyclists died in rude accidents in berlin. 3 times more than 2019. The white painted ghost bikes memorialize the victims. I know and then youve got to be brave to cycling the then not okay. And do to get the food assign quotes, but actually has the fewest drivers picky hoax . Data po due to an angry tetra. Ones. The streets blocked in their district, lead time quite so bad. Only one and 5 people own a car, but traffic from outside the city flows right through their residential area. Each change has to be individually, fund 4 and justified in rate cetera, has long been fighting to have a single street blocked off in her neighborhood. Getting street post installed was a tedious process to stay inside on good 12 and water is basically it took before the 2012 on to 29. Ready and im gonna make a decision based on 6 months and that was so late and i thought i was around 7 years. Is that normal disability enough . And it says that ive been in standards. Its almost boss. Yeah. Why does it take so long . His asthma and didnt thats why i dont know, it ministration was hung up on a cost 10 to 15 to go on the call. The cutting down is another thing that was our experience of 51. 00 designs to give us is about to the only thing that matches was free flowing traveling does not a slight bit. And if not, seal mindset is Everything Else is viewed as a disruption stubs. And lisa cans of the sea, so nothing new happens. Although br lane has wide streets and a well developed public transport system, the biggest portion of public space, 58 percent, is claimed by the car, pedestrians, cyclists, and public transport have to share the rest. Multi lane roads define the landscape. This is what plan is referred to as spatial injustice. If you were to share the space in proportion to actual usage, you would have quite a different picture. Cars would be allotted 25 percent of the space. The remaining 75 percent would go to cyclists, pedestrians, and public transport. In our example, drivers would be granted just one lane and that would be no Parking Spaces. The cars didnt always dominate the city, would be considered normal, wasnt the original plan, the fuel honda show in my to yes, hes come from the the on the boys on funding initiative. Want to have a psycho path constructed under the elevated railway and quite sped and reclaimed the space for citizens. Cities as we know them were not originally designed for congress, but for pedestrians and horse drawn carriages under the infant, everyones talking about mobility transition. Its a trendy phrase, but its not just a fad. If you look closely at history, weve already had 2 traffic up. He was 1120 years ago in berlins population, grew quite a bit of some quite different trans that modes criss crossed everywhere. So it was decided to move the track up higher. I just see it now above us. They left the room on the ground for pedestrians encourage and that is also a brilliant elevated railway was completed in 19. 00 oh 2. 00. Today these images seems, brings the empty without the parked cars and dense traffic sun dies and get together straight up. And this is out within 30 to 40 years later, it was all about the car and people wanted best transport, but instead ended up stuck in traffic jams out of space. And now another 70 years later. And wed like to undo the mistake and reclaim the space with the original intention to talk with. You see whats happening down here. Its use for dumping, suppressing on your start when were up the, this is how much. Yeah, so honda end of a i level of outbound envisioned the space under the elevated railway not just the cycle path, but also an attractive urban space. The, the city of berlin intends to build the path at some point. But planning and construction of very slow Parking Spaces which were proposed 15 years ago are currently being built under the railway. If the cycled path becomes a reality lead me to, we converted all what looks like a nice lane for cyclists is actually the opposite. Were standing in a parking space talks about if the initiatives ideas implemented, the cycle path will run from oba bound book you in the east to bind hope. So in the west, a total of 9 kilometers we cycle from princeton, wisconsin to me, back and look at the part of the route as smooth sailing for you on it. And what the, what the pad is full of obstacles, the to the federal government and the state of berlin are sponsoring the project with 3300000 years. Initially, only a few 100 meters of track will be developed while many citizens want the transport revolution. The authorities are sluggish and implementing it. Theres a lack of political vision and willpower. The powers, the problems are even more urgent due to the lack of space. Power, as is the most densely populated city in europe. About 12000000 people live in the metropolitan area. Positions have always had to fight hard for room to move. Please you is so tight that you pop dancers like people play them. Ok, be use the street as their stage. Theres just enough time between the traffic lights, bridge dense interlude people. Nobody could lead the pope was never invited anywhere. It just took over space, but it wasnt intended for it in the streets and elsewhere. And to made it its own and spread the office. Thats the pedestrians, cyclists, parisians. Youve got to do that to the citizens of powers have already started themselves at the ballot box to the parisian government funded by new doug who is rebuilding the city on the senate. The dance Group Already knows the value of the streets, the urban planet, carlos movie, new is the brains behind the change, like the measure of like decimal or keep it down to what you feel. Now, public space has been dominated by cars. It can, but they take the life out of the city. Stop what youre getting from. Can i say stop the cars, which are only passing through . Lets read, claim this public space for people to live in peace. The movie know is the mayors advisor. Together they launched the mobility transition in paris. Shortly after taking office. Youd go close the last section of the city motorway on the backs of the center and turned it into a promenade. The g also enforced a 30 kilometers speed limits throughout the city. The provisions enjoyed the new space, the banks of the send on the cities living room, the plan stairways parks and swimming gardens will come later. The 1st draft already exists. And do that go is scaling up. The cycle path network has been expanded by over 1000 kilometers. Who do they believe has been completely converted into a cycling street . 20000 trees have been planted with up for the 170002 come. In 2024 diesel cars will be bagged and the french capital and all combustion engines will follow in 2030. The Metro Network empowers will double 5203222450 kilometers. To Better Connect the outskirts of the city. The grand parents express project directly connected cities up to 60 kilometers away. Everything should be ready by 20, 30 april reduced car traffic into the city and offer a faster alternative. Taking pressure off the metro lines in the inner city a can catch you to the button you on the web from here you can see the suburbs very well. The ones over there, the Eastern Suburbs of harris and back there are the western one to to the field at the very back. You can see the towers of not the phone, the business district. I was old reese to give drunk. I did a lot by them today. So if you live in the east and working on the phones, you have to drive across paris 6. You put cool fucking the bus stop by a really good job. Know best good level really do you feel now the entire transport concept was focused on the center of parasite. But thanks to this new station, you wont need to drive to the city center anymore. Say about that april, april, myself, to you as extensive as got a question. How about the funding go on your level. Really, we will reduce the burden on the whole apparently, especially on certain lines that are heavily used today. The lenient, huge old re soma, if come on such a way that their phones is europes largest business district. Many International Corporations have their headquarters here and many managers drive to work in their own car or take a cab. The electric air taxis will offer these high honors a different transport option in time for the 2024 summer olympics. So in the future business, people will be able to fly from without the phones in the west to the airport in the north, in just a few minutes. Probably and next month is from photo cup to the company, offering the air taxi. The witnesses, so youll hear in you what are your flights with follow cops around the yeah. Then youre off. Youve. If you get into the vall, a cup to fly directly to show the go level and get on the plane, the, the t or the whole thing will be a bounce as expensive as a normal taxi. So from here to the airport, something between 75. 00 and a 115. 00 euro, its gone depending on how long the trip to pay, cuz we dont, because itll definitely be within this range street. You can fly from here to the airport for about 100 euro. Is it the song . Wheres the, the defaults . I shall do overall an air show and power sparks, a lot of interest the, but not all technical and legal problems have been solved yet. They still need to build blending pads and charging facilities for the big batteries that supply electricity to the 18 rotors the today, the 1st test flight is being conducted in paris. The as fascinating is the vision is air attacks. These like those from photo counter are still in the early days arrange our can disruptive plants like the when they dont let just dont see at the faces the ation sector. So if there are a strong winds, very heavy rain or snow, but we dont fly. Theyll be no 9th flights. Its the real easy to use your boss because thats so some couple and theres also a weight limit in the beginning that will be a maximum of 200 kilos. Your own bound volume for mass. The pilots in me with my luggage to those value on the plot, the while they are taxis will be a transport mode for the wealthy. They wont solve the traffic problems in the cramped, parisian metropolis. Its not that simple. Even a few new metro lines are hardly enough and call us will be no noticed that every driver and powers use the metro tomorrow, the system would collapse. Thats why im only know whats to make commuting itself redundant. Thatd be kept when assume the sofa ski for si se claimant neutral commuting alone is not enough funded with the we need to ask deeper questions of why do we need to move around in the 1st place . I would really think, why do we have to travel so far . Is that the highest considerations dont just mean changing mobility foot questioning it as a whole . Thats the most important question or to in this question will lead to another profound change in the next 1020 years. And indeed, the questions that fully know invented the concept of the 15 minutes city. Captivating urban planners worldwide. The idea, everything you need shops, work places, schools should be reachable from your home. In 15 minutes, he takes us to the cities, 19 of one of the small, near rosa park station, where the concept has already been implemented. To prevent the general vacation, sailors take care to maintain a social mix. So social housing, luxury, apartments, and student dormitories are all in one place during the months like getting more that makes the day so sad. These buildings are also an example of social mixing because their student dormitories, they belong to this activity. In this district, there was a mix of the most diverse activities, the commercial, multi professional. And of course, the students are also part of the my, but the district, se sick, youve got to see the, i love you, you cant keep the wait in the middle of it all is. And this toggle, the largest start up hub in your city council, purposely allocated residential areas for companies and build social housing. In the middle of business districts, 55000 departments are going up. The plan to reduce the number of commuters people will no longer have to travel Long Distances to work less time commuting, spend more time with friends and family. Thats the Vision Empower the. The city of the future is also coming to berlin at the farmer table. Airport. Soon construction will begin here on berlins version of the 15 minutes city, the here directly in front of the old airport building. A Research Park for the future technologies will be built. A residential quarter for 10000 people will occupy the former runway. Hardly any Parking Spaces or plan, but there will be 6 meter wide cycle paths. Residents can borrow everything they need from mobility hubs, including e cause scooters and cargo bikes. Using mobility helps induce mobility hubs are always connected to public transport and were linked up to the underground and there are various buses servicing the area and each mobility hub happens. Every parking garage is directly linked to a stop to ensure that you really wont need a car in the end. And thats the basic premise to get people to give up their cars. We have to offer an alternative. Can we reckon them ability needs will increase the tense good off or to get a bunch of the is the project manager for the new district . The 500 heck. Their area is huge. 5 percent of the size of power the the projects time table is ambitious, since its not just mobility thats set to change, the building process will be c o 2 neutral. The risk central quarter will be made entirely of wood. The largest pure wood settlement in the world. There will be a Solar Power System and water captures owens for heavy rain, the clipping, the district for climate change, the guns, and a lot of people call us and ask, how can we get an apartment . How can we get in because they understand that in the end we as humans are biological beings, we need a biological environment on an heres the prospect of no longer having to lock yourself up into reinforced concrete cage. Its attractive and mean facades. Lots of biodiversity in the streets, converted into green habitats. And place space is also very keen. So it will be at least another 5 years to the project on the former airport site is completed, but the city is setting the course for the future. The in copenhagen, you can experience the future today. Its become a mobility transition model from many other cities around the world. In the 19 sixtys, the 1st streets in the city center were closed off the car traffic. Currently 62 percent of residents commute by bike or on foot, or even bike traffic jams. Here the, the city of the future was invented by yon gail over 50 years ago, the architect to pose the concept of a car friendly city. Back then he was ridiculed as a dreamer. Today he showered with praise. Hes copenhagen has become a place of pilgrimage for mobility planners, the where ever you make most rates on more lane ways. You have more traffics, 3 years later, or 5 years later. So if you invite cause you get more traffic, but he, in copenhagen, we have found that if you invite people to walk, see, to live, or by seeking, you get more of that. It successfully the same. You get in each city what you invite for. The principle of supply and demand works and reverse in urban planning. If more supplies created, the demand follows the commuters like me now ride their bikes. She lives with their family 20 kilometers from the city center in fellows, a suburb of copenhagen. Because there are more bike paths, she and her husband have switched to cycling them. Even though the one outside is my cargo bike. My husband has taken his with him. These are our childrens bikes. And then we have 2 more bikes. Of the family doesnt own the car the the works at a bank in the city center for the last 4 years. Shes been commuting 40 kilometers per day, with her electric cargo by her Childrens School is on the way the from her home town to for those a bike path leads directly into copenhagen. That was the reason she moved here. Shes perfectly connected by blanc, and at the same time, she can leaving the house in the countryside without the need for a car the as the. So the most important thing is that the infrastructure is right. Otherwise, you cant cycle such a Long Distance is the bike paths here are wide. I feel safe and im shielded from the cars. Ill get all this wasnt there. I certainly wouldnt be writing about it. He said the in the last 10 years, copenhagen has continuously develop since psycho super highways. A Compact Network already connects the city with suburbs up to 40 kilometers away. In the coming years, the network will expand further and grow denser for planners. The number one transit mode is the bicycle every year the city spends 35. 00 euros per capita and cycling most other european cities invest on the 10th of this of the studies show that if it were more convenient copenhagen residents to would prefer to use the car the idea is that no ones journey should take longer by bike or train than by car. When you ask the copenhagen bicyclist, why are you bicycling . And that came some very interesting results because they said that youre doing this with the climate. No. But, but i are doing this because its very cheap. No, but i are doing this because its healthy for it says, no. Why are you bicycling . Because its the fastest and most convenient way to get around. That wasnt meant your to say, thats my major argument for taking the bike. That its so easy and so direct and its fast as a big. But if im supposed to move, i dont ride a bike because im a climate same as in, you know, i ride a bike and save the world. No, im as good as an additional. First and foremost, its more convenient if it doesnt take much longer than the train or the car. So im not a saint, its just fine. And above all practical, it would be to show the, for the mobility transition to be successful, Companies Must also change locksmith. Be a, go go. God already has. He supplies his services by blake. The box full of heavy tools and metal parts weighs 80 kilos to transported. He needs an electric cargo bike. They are like a missing link between the car and the regular bicycle, the st. But then his dogs and i was getting a stick to send a note, so im just gonna hit tools and materials. Dont take up much space on see if i have to change your log somewhere. I dont need account blue, i can easily load everything onto a condo bike with a car. I might have to punch several streets away. Its just the bike solve that problem. It gets me door to door that if a me and the comes to mind the bill of recording since switching to the bike, the bro guard has last 8 kilo to and its been sick less often the mobility transition has actually made people healthier. The people are moving more and its led to a decline in conditions like cardiovascular disease, obesity and diabetes. With the electro cargo bikes, more companies in the city are likely to switch from cars to bicycles. The he said the store store puts in chain to put them some hot, relatively small. In any case, they have Great Potential among craftsman like me who only have to transport small things. So it looks me, its electricians, or even plumbing st. Somebody can gun guy there is certainly more possibilities. Like a 1st thing you just need to get inspired and do it continue. Yeah. Tell us, god is suffering. Somebodys had come home since they came here in copenhagen. Theres a ship who works from a bicycle when he rides around and cooks for people, or even a photographer. There are no limits. Yeah. Consent to seeing if people are inspired, theyll do it and its a solution for everything. A cool thing. Some of the events case, it is showing a volt volt minutes cuz i lose that to make city life more livable, copenhagen knows wish to return some space to nature. There are already plans to create forested areas on central squares and streets. And then we know what to count, you careful. And if you only count the cause you care for the cause in copenhagen was the 1st city in the world where we were able to develop systems to document the life of the city. And we were able to see the was able to make it department for safety, life and pedestrians as they have always had the department for traffic and transport and cause. So we started very early in copenhagen to take an interest in peebles, and that had an impact. And that is connection to the fact that copenhagen now is could see that one of the more leave of the city is in the world. The single port to once fuel cars, but theyre taking a different route than copenhagen single ports. Metro networks is considered one of the best in the world. Almost half of all trips taking here go by public transport. The 6000000 prison metropolis avoids congestion by adjusting ticket prices. Tickets are cheaper outside rush hour. The same system applies to drivers like gallery to every day he drives 13 kilometers to the city center and passes several electronic tools systems. The price is proportional to the traffic density drive to work from the suburbs right into the season to it only cost 0. 50 and 1. 00 at 8 am and would be for example, 2. 00 at 830. So it gets more expensive as you get later into the new into looking all this. I think were going back home, its 30 bucks. The buying a car is also expensive with import taxes and registration. Garys bmw us the equivalent of 100000 bureaus. And then theres the additional monthly cost, the be able to tax. So thats a, thats what im gonna type just to just use the cost plus petrol plus parking. I probably spend about 2 to 2. 5. Ok, bye me thing. Discuss only one in 10 residents bones their own car, significantly less than in european cities. But despite increasing costs, this number is barely falling. Wealthy citizens like gary to are holding onto their cars in single pore. Its fast and convenient, surprising advising the last 2 years. So i think for me it might be to a point where i think its causing that, whether its sample anymore. I dont know why that price point is, because for me i, i do enjoy driving. I think the price you pay if you want to be a driver here, when it comes to climate protection, the single pour we Development Authority is also taking drastic steps. The plan is to make the city greener with more cycle past parts and c o 2 neutral buildings. The. The main problem with urban planning here is the lack of space. Single port is an island nation. More space here means building up word architect jason palmer. Roy specializes in sustainable high rise buildings to take your 2 dimensional plan of a city flip it 90 degrees and move sky would see as youre moving up through the lifts while you while while youre going get to a sky, cool to sky. Gotten half that immediate connection to the next building and ultimately is creating this new next this hold open space is a heights that will then allow you to get to the next time. And the, this is how the City Planning Authority sees the single port of the future. Cars and trains will only run underground city life will take place on several levels. The building routes will support parks and landing pads like the square on the street where those places for people to meet and go from great on the ground. The sky coffee sky calls will be a similar up in space in the future, in cities around the world. And those sky coasting sky columns will be a means of connecting building to building enhancing movement further. And we could even take that to the next level by then thinking about how those eh, taxi terminals like the ones that were creating for sky pools are going to be the next. I mention to move beyond the building and stop hopping from place to place. The cities like singapore, copenhagen, barcelona paris, and berlin all faced the same challenge. Private transport is suffocating them, and they share a common goal of severely restricting con traffic. But their concepts look very different. The streets of the low key, i am completely convinced that the future of mobility lies in reducing mobility. Again that will be need to fill out the seats the means. The city of the future is one that relies on bicycles, pedestrians and public transport people. Sometimes electric vehicles to come up and we need stop the change. Now, what are the, what we do between now and 2030 is if youre showing well, then the only way we can meet the challenges facing cities around the wells that you have like that this is not given by god. It is given by you a politician and the traffic plan is my experience is that people can ex, immediately recognize what they like. And we last for is the in good shape ring. So the homeless cabinet, what does alcohol due to the building and what food visit him . And what are the consequences for your health . Alcohol, all topics. Good shape. 13 d, w. The another thing in the mountains of the human a springs and could provide sustainable electricity for this pilot project, pay the weights, excitement neutrality, people can be even 90 minutes. On dw, the, the, the 70 years dw, the, this is the, the news coming to live from berlin. A temporary reprieve. Pakistans, former Prime Minister and run con, is granted 2 weeks fail and one Corruption Case and the court rules the cant be re arrested in other cases against also coming up post any militants, fire rockets tours tourism. And israel says its resuming further air strikes and the goal is to strip
