But sorry for todays come on weenies. Europes culture scene braces itself once again as countries go back into lockdown. Opera houses in germany squeezed in new premieres just hours before the curtains came down that story coming up plus how designers are making urban spaces safe for women and decades of Cultural Exchange between u. S. Troops and germans set to end in some places that is if donald trump has his way. Welcome to arts and culture a lot of culture makers here in germany are angry at the countrys new coronavirus rules as of this week museums cinemas and theatres like dresden famous opera house are shut by government to create meanwhile passenger trains are full and Car Dealerships are still open to waiting cultural figures have called it unfair over the weekend the show did go on right until the lockdown came. At the same. But this magic flute will be silenced for at least 4 weeks was going ahead a gesture of defiance. Really is defiance we just did it i would say we will play when we can and i infuse my colleagues we are an active and vibrant company. In the fight against the virus is not only being waged with artistic manes Technology Helps out by exchanging 35000 cubic meters of our enough to keep exactly 331 spectators safe cool rises from the backs of the seats the audience briefs is thrown out before it can spread in the whole. Of all the places you have to operate the systems with a degree of sensitivity because of course you dont want draw for a new band very important in a theatre no noise is that just the music of. The pieces being cut to 2 hours the artists keep their distance somewhere mosques and sing past each other into ets. We know the topic you know pop again at us. Break where they usually hug each other and here they stretch out their hands like in the viennese punch and judy show where the play comes from and walks past each other. And off we go you can do it with a humor we shouldnt lose our sense of humor under any circumstances or. Keeping despite all the compromises doing everything technically possible but still facing shutdown the decision is not easy to digest not only for the director. Of the pond. Take the hind demick seriously we have implemented hygiene concepts thats why theres so much in comprehension in the fierce abroad its important to stress that this is not the result of an reflected range but i also consider this closure to be the correct political symbol in an unhealthy moment theres no Holding Hands as performers take their vows but the message is clear is the basis of society are simple will be silent for a while but rehearsals are continuing for premieres in the not too distant future. Germanys culture minister says shes pushing for Fast Financial aid for a 1000000 and a half culture section workers affected by the new shutdown now urban design isnt just about how cities work it also impacts on safety and equality and more and more designers are working out how to make cities that work better for women would you feel safe walking here alone at night. You hear of how hard everyone gets nervous when a place is poorly lit and she doesnt have a good overview of her surroundings or when she sees a group of people that she cant gauge very well. How do women and girls feel when they move through their environments thats the question my cookbook and her colleagues from planned International Germany asked across 4 major german cities online and with anonymity the details of those bad experiences were turned into a map here from the city of hamburg even if a crime doesnt take place on every dark corner every night of the week the fear that it might is a problem for many women. I did this before her this feeling that no one will hear me im good with that even if i do call out for help no one works thats the 1st thing that comes to mind for example when i see a group of young men or adopt park i think ok how can i avoid them and if i cant is there going to be someone who can help me and then if they wish i was wise and couldnt have made up your mind that. Urban planning in general and traffic planning in particular was always seen as a mans job. Either can is proof that it doesnt have to be that way shes fighting a quarter for all for the city of vienna without dark corners and unsafe spaces but what does a city look like when no one has to be afraid roman plats in vienna was once a dodgy bottleneck. For the english that i dont buy so for the redesign in this limited space there were lots of pas that crossed. Get board will dance feed a v. It was badly laid out. There were people hanging out and pedestrians couldnt avoid them. And give me the combination was bad. I got there were hidden entrances. There were high bush is one way. To plan a space for old men they had to get everyone on board and they did Business People ordinary people from the street and Homeless People all of them voiced their wishes in concerns and voted for the changes they wanted to see happen a lot of work was put in so that women and girls could feel comfortable. Taking the lead when it comes to gender planning for creating a city that everyone can enjoy because it takes everyones needs into account. My colleague Melissa Holroyd has more on this. These ideas about how to make. Cities safe theyre not just benefitting women are they doesnt everyone what safer cities yeah im sure men dont want to like walk to the train station in complete darkness with lots of bushes around them that they might just be able to jump out of but there are definite differences and trends that are taken into account by these so called gender planets lets call them so men drive cars a lot more than women do it yet women are a lot more likely to take the train or take a tram or take a bus and so a good public transport system is something that benefits a lot of women women are much more likely to push primes so wide pathways are quite good for women so they can cross each other the plan is also take into account places for women to breast feed and take care of their children why do you think that these issues havent been addressed more already in the past according to the world bank only one in 10 of top architects are women so yeah i mean i would imagine that a good plan or a good architect is somebody who takes into account all people perhaps thats not always the case and its not just about safety there is it now theres a lot of talk about visibility so in the neighborhood of aspen in vienna all street names and places on named after women and thats something thats also happened here in parts of so in the 1990 s. Only 2. 4 percent of all signs when they went after women so they decided they wanted to change that and name a lot more after women until there was parity it might seem like a banal difference but actually when you walk through these new suburbs you do get it is a nice feeling that the street names the named after women 2 percent thats nothing and now this move to bring more visibility. To the streets is not just happening here in europe no recently in mumbai india their traffic lights their pedestrian traffic lights underwent a sex change so instead of having like the little men the symbol of the man we now have the symbol of women and sometimes had these funny sort of hats and all. Fashion of the race is no longer a cute thing quite interesting there are only 240 of them have changed across the city and this is a small and but significant changes given that there arent a lot of women on the streets of the big cities across india and that has something to do with safety as well melissa thanks so much for coming on the show. Now people here in germany are keeping a close watch on this weeks u. S. President ial election and one reason as president Donald Trumps plan to withdraw 12000 american troops stationed in germany a plan to punish germany for its lower military spending terms rival joe biden says if he is elected he will review the plan well whether the troops stay or go the impact wont just be on defense but also be cultural.
