A joke that ive often heard from my friends who live in the union to the city of tempe. Good is wherever you are in the city. If you dig pre like guns, you will land up in exactly the same spot. Thats how well land 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 places like to and these are seem like an exception, and i do in so many ways that was a time when i wanted to live and suddenly got off the diode. But now things have taken an alarming done in the city. Lets head there to find out why they might look like normal residential buildings. But in fact, these houses a block of ground designed for a modern and if logic goes, plant city, know, 70 years old john the guide was built in the week of and guess could defend its 70 years ago today itself as the capital of 2 federal states and jobs and heavy on the city was designed by suspension architect, knock of the c, it is blind incorporated, different sectors and measure sector, a restaurant on both sector and residential sectors. These effectively function as many cities themselves, boasting their own infrastructure. Lets move and city moved here. When he was a child, his family was one of the 1st to set in sunday guy. So hes witness. Its development from the very beginning. As carbuchia said its, hes designed the city in the shape of a human body, the capital complex being the brain, the sick, the 17 being the stomach, the university in the Industrial Area being the limbs and the lungs going green. He called them green bass, going right through the city from north to south, and that just come to us that is sold beautiful. This is where all the green v was still on. Sunday goes for going. This now was a botanist. He implemented lock of bushes ideas, given the sub tropical dr. Lemme, it was no easy task as the colleges is having to go to the explains. It involves some creative thinking on those. Itll be tough, tough moving traffic. Roads there. And he planted this into a space. So during winters these leaves in the fall and even more late on the old and close to the houses chart, please lake lake close to the market toward socrates. Slovenly, please. That would mean so that during summers long as or may be god based apply 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 the rich avenue is to have which kind of treat. So all these factors that gets in 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 a piece of war. One quote i gave you for that is smaller. What will it be . Which the city is expanding more and more under this project mot, city has set up the largest public bike sharing project. Anyone in the country. This has 5000 smart bites, some mindless electric and john declared both saw a dedicated the uh site, the track off to a 100 kilometers. Which to the best of my knowledge is on fire list and it is in the country. Ready the palace of assembly and High Court Building bought the capital complex, well also designed by local boucher in 2016. The complex was added to the unesco would edited smith. 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 there. Listen to that will also the Supreme Court find the defined. 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 busted, its also prove that the 2 gun works together. Walking baffled to on green grass is this one kind of matches . Green z is crucial for our mental health. The World Health Organizations recommend 9 square meters of green space for the individual, which is roughly the size of a small bed bucket. Imagine teen us, capitol, of windows iris. This is far from the web fox. Dont look like fall, im green z has become a lovely when this family want to get out into nature, or even just pop to the playground that you like. Others here have to work, at least they clocks in the ceiling. He took the scrolling concrete, that one of the left left side a flight of to have a playground, a couple of blocks away, and not have to cross so many streets long. And it would be great if there were trees around that provided shape so that the kids cut away without being the line to the time of the. Its almost time us, some of the numbers always spring in a demo really so hot in border then they with so much concrete everywhere the city gets hotter and hotter and i know the heat and really build Something Like i learned when is iris now has over 15000000 inhabitants by 2030. That number is set to hit 70000000. Right next to the playground, this a construction site. This is a case almost everywhere, especially in the city center. Open neighborhoods around the disappearing being complete the roof. Im for cities, new oven development plan, insure the new residential blocks to 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 cause many residents, several neighborhoods initiatives of taking to the streets to protest against gentrification incident. And they may not, um, its completely indiscriminate over the Building Permits are issued everywhere for just about anything but in every neighborhood across the city when the site is but it goes through a busy. 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. Unemployment, Antonio Vasquez roost, frequently meets activists to discuss such issues that it see what they did was to 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. If you see a thought to put in, they can say we have this whole front that you see here by the high right long. Yeah. Its high density. East went up on time changes. There was very little greenery around. Oh, so youve got the buildings are 10 to 12 stories high enough on the back, and so its not a green space to come own across you. It was, you know, it shouldnt assume that rachel, Antonio Vasquez produced, collected data and created a map of when its out as 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 it means a lot 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 evenly distributed and mostly located in the cities wealthiest neighborhoods in the lobby. Of my 2nd, well, had no idea on any of my 4 people in the forest districts have the least access to green spaces that we go beyond. But i mean, and for families who cant travel, parks are the only way to access nature in a classroom. The city does have the funds, some initiatives, encouraging move greenery like this cooperative. For example, during the code it pandemic, its members converted a new and used part best site into an, as in 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 welcomed. Todays topic is composting, the 6, the wordly merrill garden. We want to educate people about healthy eating. The message across that we can own growing vegetables at home without even there. Look at the bottom of that unless we provide information and support for those who want to start doing this themselves. You know what, im going to go back to the playground. The family spends the whole sundays yeah. No greenery is needed, not just to say the parents i think theres a lack of Public Awareness about the importance of green space is a city is just for the fundraising. The dont properly know what the impact is of living in areas that dont have them in it. That part of the city authorities have promised to create much new park areas, but many residents 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 phosphorylation as a key element of the modern fos speeds like split as and businesses and the last few years have put their minds on their money to come up with Innovative Solutions because the negative ex analyses of transportation like congestion tracking jobs, theyll try much each box with big back on big promises. And these will, it is, might have under estimated 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 things has introduced its own 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 the 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 jumped onto the transit bandwagon. Big tech has reshape the economy and flashy hype, fuel 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 lane. It sounds a lot more attractive to 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. Second only to house. And while investors currently only have promises not results to go on, its 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 mosque 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 of hyperlinks, a high speed above ground vacuum to popularized by musk in 2013 and pursued by a number of firms hun deterred by the failure of his above ground travel project. Musk opted to go under ground with his boring come. First, the pledge to dig elaborate systems of tunnels under cities where autonomously dripping pods with 16 passengers would sit around with ease. 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 the 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 billing errors arent the only ones with tech. That sounds more impressive than it looks. China is autonomous, real Rapid Transit has gotten heights for being a cheaper alternative to standard trends, and it has been tested and could tar and australia. Its to quote unquote, trackless tram system that traverses 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 fi 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. It should have a range of 240 kilometers, which would be expects the average trip to be around 40 kilometers, meaning flying. Taxis would compliment not replace existing transport networks. If and when use 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 in psych, plenty of the 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 know, flying cars and transit researchers might be the only people on the planet. You think a bikes, or sex. I have one right here in the background to tell i get the toward the theyre pretty under stated, theyre easy to maintain low cost. They enable quicker and longer bike trips without the cost of showing up. So i retired to take some buses are great local Transit Solutions, but what makes them really shine is dedicated lands like boca tubs, bus express ways where amsterdam expensive network of bike paths. And theres always room for innovation like emitting where cable cars help traverse spence. We built steeper terrain so it will take them much more than flashing animations to solve our traffic problems. Let alone curb transits, climate impact. Deep billions of Venture Capital in heaps of 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 a drop of leading season. For instance, last year in the month of october, within a span of 5 days. During the week of divide, the vehicles contributed to more than half of the door to particular tomato present in the scary short but electric vehicles could be providing a practical solution they provide or not. Im green or thoughts we what. How will this transition be implemented . Lets ask jen, a vandals who entity one of them of the, the noise is exhausting more than 6000000 motorbike and cause horse the weight switch at night every day. Emerson levels of sky high things need to change the climate document. Climate tend to putting in a Climate Change means we have to ship from combustion engines to electric vehicles. More leaders have promised to gradually their news, sports, and mules. And to have us better now, go to like 2015 or 2017. By which time their countries will have made a complete split for the assess, the initial Energy Source is low and then a lot of money has been invested already. And change is alondo. Wait another got a well in this one. Let me have it done. Im going to going to go with young people in particular like doctors do best in on already making the shift. It makes sense economically too much in just absolution. Flemetcher, theres an amount of money on a daily was very cool image seems to be a huge role in deal pollution and Climate Change thing, which is why the government is promoting electric right . Goes, i decided to buy and even save money and also so that i could do my bit and make a contribution to society of all a special say to go in front of the front of the switch to be mobility is also an opportunity for the city stop, its like fulfilling its electric to be lewis deliver goods from online retailers. The company says its okay ministration. The imagini
