Lets find out a joke that ive often heard from my friends who live in the union to the city of somebody good is wherever you are in the city. If you dig 3 like guns, you wouldnt land up in exactly the same spot. Thats how it was on the city. And when most of the cities in the country have sort of developed organically, without much wheezing or design or planning. And then police has liked and these are seem like an exception. And i do in so many ways. There was a time when i wanted to live and suddenly got off the diode. But now things have taken and alarming done in the city. Lets head the to find out why they might look like normal residential buildings. But in fact, these houses apart of a grand design for the modern and logical plant city, no 70 years old, sunday, god was built in the week of and guess the defendants 70 years ago. Today itself as the capital of 2 federal states, when job and heavy on the city was designed by suspense architects, knock a, b, c. It is Plant Incorporated different sectors, a leisure sector, a restaurant on both sector and residential sectors. These effectively function as many cities themselves, boasting their own infrastructure, its moving so that he moved him when he was a child. His family was one of the 1st to step in san diego. So hes witness. Its development from the very beginning. As carbuchia said, if hes designing the city in the shape of a human body, the capital complex being the brain, the sector 17 being the stomach, the university and the Industrial Area being the limbs and the lungs going green. We call them green bass. Going right through the city from lots of south, and that just come to the us. That is sol, beautiful. This is where all the green reverse plants. Sunday goes 1st come. This now was the botanist. He implemented lock of bushes, ideas, given the sub tropical dr. Climate, it was no easy task. As the colleges is having to go really explains. It involves some creative thinking on those, itll be tough task moving traffic roads. Did he planted the seed . Was these so doing winters, these leads and fall and even more late on the road and close to the houses chart please. The lake ways close to the markets or salt trees, flowering, please. That would mean so that during summers the mixed up with the cyclist scan, dick showed the, the filter under the pseudo in recent years, however, much has changed in trying to get old, originally planned for 5 loc residents twice as many people nowadays. Here with 878 gosh, 4000 visitors. Its also a month and as most we go densities houses, roads, and Shopping Centers of pushing nature out including these ancient fees, which along with 700. 00 others affect to be fair to make me what an o box environmental activist, the body suspend for you is fighting the non single say, and if you look at the diamond rather street, it really pays me and you know, brings window does the thing that a 3 like business. So many of them along this or the maybe god forbid supply or, and i dont think it makes any sense. A ton of these instances they will retain the cities green set of dates by planting other greenery for every 5th. 3 should be focus on planting. Indigenous trees, we also focus on planting trees, which have been documented at the time of conception of the city as to which every new is to have which kind of the tree. So all these factors that get didnt mind whenever a single tree is said to do, to whatever reason for the past 2 years, john, the good has been named the best union dentistry at this marks with feasible. One call i gave you, and for that is small, it will it be which the city is expanding more and more under this project, my city has set up the largest public bike sharing project. Anyone in the country this has 5000 smarts. By the time i lose electric and john declared both saw a dedicated uh, uh, site to check off 200 kilometers. Which to the best of my knowledge is on fire list. Any of it is in the country. The palace of assembly and High Court Building bought the capital complex. Well, also design, but not could we see it. In 2016, the complex was added to the unesco void edits list. But living space is becoming increasingly this in the ever more populous city. This has led investors to compromise loc. Abuse is vision by building to close to up and what the bodies, the move in the city was among the lawyers with the action against the investors. They succeeded. Buildings erected by this lake had to be demolished. Another developer wanted to build, took the 6. 00 of 35. 00 stories high each just north of the capital complex and called lucy didnt want any building that the 2 that were also the Supreme Court find that the band and im so glad i dont know what we would have done without the Supreme Court. Geneva is constantly trying to balance the 70 year old vision of its design of with the needs of a booming population. But having been such a full run, those in terms of redundancy and sustainability boxes, its all to prove that the 2 gun works together. Walking fast for to on green grass is this for one kind of magic. Green z is crucial for our mental health. The was Health Organization recommend 9 square meters of green space for the individual, which is roughly the size of a small bed bucket in argentina capitol of windows iris. This is far from the west. Fox dont look like fox, im green. He has become a lucky when this family wants to get out into nature, or even just talk to the playground that you like. Others here have to work at least take lots in the searing, he took the scrolling concrete that one of the video that i loved. Thats how i applied love to have a playground, a couple of blocks away and not have to cross so many streets local and it would be great if there were trees around that provided shape so that the kids currently without being the line to the time of the, its almost almost some of the numbers are really spring into that one really so hot and go to the end of the day. With so much concrete everywhere in the city gets hotter and hotter and i know the heat and really built on the color. When is iris now has over 50000000 inhabitants by 2030. That number is set to hit 70000000 right next to the playground. This a construction site. This is the case almost everywhere, especially in the city center. Old neighborhoods arrive with disappearing well being complete the roof. Im cities and you of and Development Plan ensure that new residential blocks being erected on almost every corner there a few regulations in place to protect Historic Buildings with inflation as high as 100 percent. Many prefer to invest in real estate instead of leaving the money in the bank, the consummate development. And because many residents, several neighborhoods initiatives of taking to the streets to protest against gentrification incident. And it can, you mean um, its completely indiscriminate over Building Permits are issued everywhere for just about anything but in every neighborhood across the city when the site is but it goes through it is nope, you see the city also lock screen spaces areas designated as public parkland like the area near the old railroad, often end up being sold off to investors. Trying to Antonio Vasquez roost, frequently meets activists to discuss such issues that it see what they did was subdivide what could have been a large linear park and build right in the middle of it, leaving just small areas of green around it. I do see it thought theyve put in, they can say we have this whole front that you see here by the high right long. Yeah, its high density is one up on function. So theres very little greenery around. Oh, so youve got the buildings are 10. 00 to 12. 00 stories hung up on the backend, so its not a green space to come own across. You ever see what . No, it shouldnt assume that rachel, Antonio Vasquez produced, collected data and created a map of when its out a green spaces. According to his calculations, there are just 5 square meters of public green Space President of the city, new york. Meanwhile, those 13 square meters. If you, i mean the more thank you, the data showed us that there are not only 2 few green spaces for the number of people, but that theyre also on even leave distributed and mostly located in the cities wealthiest neighborhoods in the lobby of my 2nd. Wow. Thats good enough idea on any of my 5 people, the forest districts have the least access to green spaces that we can see on. But i mean, and for families who cant travel, parks are the only way to access nature in a classroom. The city does whoever funds some initiative encouraging move greenery like this cooperative. For example, during the cubic pandemic its members converted a new used part of the site into an ethan god and they know certainly grow their own vegetables here, but also offer educational projects to School Children and the neighbors. And if any everyone is welcome. Todays topic is composting the 6, the wordly merrill garden. We want to educate people about Healthy Eating and get the message across that we can all growing vegetables at home. And i live in there, look at the bottom of that unless we provide information and support for those who want to start doing this themselves. You know, well, im going to go back to the playground. The family spends the whole sundays. Yeah. No greenery is needed, not just here said the parents a little less than on. I think theres a lack of Public Awareness about the importance of green space is a city. This is for the funds. Are you doing properly know what the impact is of living in areas that dont have them in the city authorities have promised to create much new park areas, but many residents, arrow ready, disillusioned by the encroaching reality of the concrete jungle. One is iris has lots to offer, but it certainly needs to welcoming more green saws. What i said is a key element of the modern philosophy is like being as in businesses and the last few years have put their minds on the money to come up with innovative solutions. Because the negative ex analyses of transportation like congestion, traffic jams or Climate Change box with big stack on big promises. And these will, it is, might have underestimated the scale of this child. The transportation issues are nothing new. If you think of just the modes of transportation throughout history, this going from um you know, horse and buggy to rail to ocean going betsel, steam liners, air ships. So theres always been something new to try out that would solve some of the problems of the old and each one of those newest thing says introduce to turn a new problems. Todays transportation mix is no exception. The biggest problem is that roughly a quarter of Global Energy related Carbon Emissions are linked to transport. But thats just one of many. Many people have the experience of being stuck in traffic. And of course people dont like that. Theres also a high cost of kind of owning a vehicle if you have to do that in order to get around. And unfortunately, you know, in many places, Transit Services are not always the most accessible. The most efficient, even the most affordable traffic jams are so universally hated that theres a bunch of jokes and moves, Little Wonder that tech trains jump down to the transit bandwagon. Big tech has reshape the economy and flashy hype, fueled presentation, no matter what their substance were key. And so instead of kind of really mundane things like invest in bosses and uh, you know, think about how we distribute street space and maybe make some cycle lanes. It sounds a lot more attractive. The say all the cars are going to start driving themselves and were going to make this new tunnel system for transportation. And were going to have flying cars. Finally, investors and media, laptop, high tech, exciting new transit projects. And the company you saw potential to people spend loads on transit in the us. For instance, 16 percent of Household Spending goes to transportation, 2nd only to housing. And while investors currently only have promises not results to go on, it hasnt stopped them. For example, youre on muskets, the Boring Company name that because they bore tunnels, get it, picked up 675000000. 00 in private capital in 2022. Local governments have also jumped on board. Musk announced deals, promising to build underground tunnels for high speed travel in chicago and Fort Lauderdale in 2018 in 2021. Neither have been built so the high train is rolling, the Venture Capital is blowing. Everything is fine and dandy to a Tech Companies have to deliver on their spectacular promises. One of the most glaring examples is hyperlink. A high speed above ground vacuum to popularized by mosque in 2013, and pursued by a number of firms. Undeterred by the failure of his above ground travel project, musk optic to go underground with this Boring Company, burske pledge to collaborate systems of tunnels under cities were autonomously dripping pods with 16 passengers would sit around with these that became a place to develop a system of so called states, which would sweep electric cars across town at speed to up to 210 kilometers an hour. Which became a one way tunnel to drive test was through at about 65 kilometers an hour called the loop, which at least exists. You sold these systems to a bunch of cities around the united states, and in most cases they have not materialized. And then the only place where it, where it has, which is las vegas. Its a short tunnel that connects up the convention center. And its mainly just in a, in attraction for teslas, you know, its a way to sell teslas. Its not really affecting traffic, its not really solving transportation problems. Its really, i call it a disney land ride for tesla fed. Western 1000000000 areas arent the only ones with techs. That sounds more impressive than it looks. China is autonomous, real rapid transit. Thats gotten heights for being a cheaper alternative to standard trends. And it has been tested in guitar and australia. Its to quote unquote track whats trans system that traverse has roads and has a driver despite being called autonomy. Thats right. Pretty much a bus looks kind of cool, but not a transit revolution. And then there is the holy grail of sy fy flying cars. Some Companies Like jo be, are working on what they Call Electric vertical takeoff and landing cubicles. Were flying taxes. Even the biggest luddites have to admit that these are cool, though they look more like fancy helicopters and flying cars. Toby hopes to launch these fully electric vehicles in 2025. They should have a range of 240 kilometers, which would be expected the average trip to be around 40 kilometers, meaning flying, taxis would compliment not replace existing transport networks. If and when these Tech Solutions materialize, they often bring with them their own set of regulatory costs and safety challenges or fail to solve some of the biggest translators, ideally, mass transit should serve the masses. That means recognizing it as a public good, something flashy private innovation distracts from. If we wanted to do it, we could have been making investments in Transit Service and investments into like plenty of this structure and doing, you know, other things in order to address these issues. Instead of waiting for the Tech Industry to create solutions that were never actually going to solve anything in the 1st place, practical Transit Solutions that encourage people to ditch private cars are often a bit boring. While the electric buses popping up all over the world are cool. There are no flying cars. And transit researchers might be the only people on the planet who think the bikes are sexy. I have one right here in the background to tell i get the torque. Theyre pretty under stated, theyre easy to maintain low cost. They enable quicker and longer bike trips without the cost of showing up sway or tired. A likes and buses are great local Transit Solutions, but what makes them really shine is dedicated lanes. Like boca tubs, bus expressway is where amsterdam so expensive network of bike paths. And theres always room for innovation. Like in many eine where cable cars help traverse densely built steep terrain. So it will take them much more than flashing animations to solve or traffic problems. Let alone curb transits, climate impact, deep billions of Venture Capital and cheap slip attention. These Tech Solutions garner would probably be better invested in truly boring, but more efficient Real Solutions globally basis contribute to nearly 12 percent of the door to atlantic warming emissions. But in india, and not only is this number much higher, but it is also rapidly increasing. For instance, last year in the month of october, within a span of 5 days during the week of the body vehicles contributed to more than half of the door to particular tomato present in the scary. Sure. But electric vehicles could be providing a practical solution. They provide a key note, im green or thoughts we what, how will this transition be implemented . Lets ask jen, a vandalism. And to, to one of them of the, the noise is exhausting more than 6000000. 00 motorbike then cause push the weight switch at night every day. Emerson levels of sky high things need to change the climate documents. Climate tend to putting in a Climate Change means we have to ship from combustion engines to electric vehicles. Large leaders have promised to gradually reduce watson mules, and to have us call gay to like 2015 or 2017. By which time their countries will have made a complete switch for the 1st initial Energy Source is low and then a lot of money has been invested already. And change is alondo, even though theyve got
