sustainable development is not only
possible
and economically sensible but vital to
our survival
that's why all over the world
architects designers and engineers are
using technology
to design intelligently and build
responsibly
I'm Carl bass we're proud to show
our ongoing commitment to sustainable
design
by sponsoring this important documentary
series
was it a conscious decision
or a momentary lapse a breeze the
mounted progress
take priority over human Khan
how could the desire for a modern way
I'd like to threatens our future
be considered whale could be we are
connected to all things in the universe
not center
that suburbs in Los Angeles affect the
melting ice caps and dark
deforestation con fix the typhoons in
Japan
now myspace the interminable challenges
for what they really are
opportunities to reinvent in redesign
the square the economy's being
environmentally conscious
poverty and despair like all things
are interconnected
especially in cities have developing
nations on
but could poverty be connected to home
by wave design 0
at an American capital's have the 80s
huge contrast between E beach
people in poor people a lot of
inequality I'll
cities have grown too fast that %uh
people coming from the rule
areas to the the city's it invasion
would be some time because they're
that they're looking for a job or they
are a trying to avoid a violence
botha grew in 100 years from
100,000 persons 27
million so both the has grown
in any legal way dinner at twelve years
ago but with the west this test
really because their lack of
infrastructure of quality
where security and safety problems they
were said no optimism I
relation to the future years up the city
were very scarce
in they didn't know where to go or what
to do gonna have a
vision that happened model that have it
money to do two things here in really
the station by
was very bad the quality of life in both
there was one of the worst in Columbia
and in Latin America
they have never known a CD with the
people hated their CD so much
as bored I used to be people thought it
was the most horrible CB
a even fourth generation in the grass
they
continued to say they were from the
rigid they came from but it was they
would be the one to say they were from a
laptop
a you as a CDOs really
without the hope without self-esteem had
I what is amazing is you really changed
beyond all my expectations because
people be gay
and how how the change really because we
started making
a CD little more for people and not so
much for cars Salisbury
simplistic Lisa almost done but the fact
is that
we are really trying to learn a
different way of life
in just 10 years
bogota's murder rate fell seventy
percent from one of the highest in the
world to less than that of Washington DC
it can be argued that this turnaround
was due in part to the vision
a former mayor Enrique Penalosa post us
and his belief the sustainable urban
design
can be the foundation for social justice
since I was a child I was obsessed with
the
making a better country but there's a
site
had moved to the US when I was there 15
then my father became Secretary General
over
how it differs United Nations World
Conference on human settlements on say
peace
and their urban development programs or
do they may have been obsessed
with a equality use
socialism and because now we develop
but they may more more I realized that
social media work for the time and that
today
economic development would come sooner
or later but the way we created CDs
would really
determined the way people would leave
about how happy they would be
mine
after seeing cities in Europe Penalosa
said
as a fish needs to swim we need to walk
not in order to survive
but to be happy for five thousand years
we've had to be said for five thousand
years all city streets were
but this rain on the mmm when cars
appeared
which one at least decided that how this
route will be for Carson operations
opportunities was not on this way and
we have done environment which are ready
for work with children grow
in fear getting killed me know with
these totally normal Justin any
three-year-old child watch other car on
the child
jump in for a ride I think now we i
at a time where we can begin to correct
that
enormous ever so at some point
if we want to because he was very nice
to people there will be some sort the
restriction to car use
home
we are here there are any other 2010 but
would pass a main avenues
I we are in the Domingo si Gloria
you both back every Sunday we close the
about 220 kilometers of Maine arteries
during at seven hours from sorry in the
morning to
in the afternoon we get more than a
million and a half people coming out
reach 45 skinny all the yong
this is a wonderful place for
integration is the safest place in the
city
1982 I made your
call I will stymie this put this into
place
I'm sees danny has been growing more and
more has been bad them better organize
I would say this is the CEO everything
that has happened in the city after wars
now we have made a CD more for people at
risk three pink are you saving these was
the beginning
of the new book to 18 came into office I
received a
very big trust restore your help for BCP
which have been there done by DJ Carey
Japanese
international cooperation agency I know
though we propose some balls lanes
in summer body transfer really the
purple 7 elevated highways
7 elevated highways which were worth
more than $5.5 billion dollars
and so from this I was said law
we are not going to to these
with people have public transport we had
some extremely call people system
we all hold individually on bosses
racine like crazy
they would stop a blocking the two lanes
the roads were
the bosses behind will not overtake them
they would dumb people in the middle of
the street they were made he actually is
bosses healing going out with these 3
p.m. do this I will go and killing
people
so instill though in these huge
investment in
nearly the high was would be sorry we
went moved by public transport as
huge huge battle because the buses im
public buses indeed but what our
were in the hands of Mike
Lisa mood could be dollar business
then come spring and those forget it I'm
going to take
away the biggest chunk of your breasts
is going to be
all system managed by local authorities
so if you want it rebar for political
news
group which mall who also bring the city
to a halt
with a strike and we were going to
substitute in totally when your sis so
it was
I'll big challenge a bit of Cairo to be
the stick
we said we want you to be calm and be
part of the system
to for the traditional bus operators
will be
the shareholders in the new system and
in fact
there are some of those previews owners
that
complying with certain rules and
regulations and
very tough ones they can be part of this
and that was intelligent
to to have them abort
0
so we structure
a bus system which we copied from the
city of going to %um proceed
we improve it that will be please browse
the best bus system in the world
we caught it as the lani trust me then
you're really
I'll shows I love what in it was up
wanted to do the customers millennia is
the public transportation system
and changes the CD around so it makes
public space for pedestrians around them
which is a main goal both for analysis
see the modem and it has become like
our police say that in blame our emblem
our
we we identify both done
who dis meaning right now I'm clearly
you have to take into consideration is
marketing issues with just a mother
originate in public transport is not
just a mother engineering
we needed to make or buses and sexy so
one but important
consolation was because our the
facilities the peace sign and the name
the last millennium means going from one
million %um
to the next millennium and since that ok
you're the wimping out of the West City
major weight when went from
let me let me into to another that was
six years ago
et cetera he he wanted a bit me just
to have people
be leavin think in the
in the long term in big things we needed
people to
doc about that as billion or about the
boss because
if we have people referring to it us
taken the boss
we would not get upper-income people
into the system so happy
no one in boat dock ever mentions about
going to take the bus now they go to
baby but as million
the system's infrastructure includes
exclusive dual bus lanes in each
direction
to create main trunk lines connected to
enter cat feeder routes
technological advances key trends will
enable efficient
the most awesome a people's a panacea
so not gone unnoticed XP she will stone
kyle is
both I think we'll ask getting a party
atmosphere processing
ahead just he is the love body fat
elestra its own
src peels bomb though in most any leslie
has a soulless
it notebook there this get on them in
your company
yet been in orbit happy ahead as a
couple yet I he meant that I am NOT
and see them up and got what is on offer
though the numbers we know systemic
don't call my name and I'll
indicate a seat is on the no I saw the
sea and the help they need working in
tandem with some people house
incomes call was a similar capacity at
by to play it
ok but I did but I like him then as bad
as my son stemming from
is saving people
maybe 200 hours a year in
transportations
people are able to also go farther about
300,000 people are saving more than
their
10 percent up their income because
before they have to pay to bosses well
in the system they can change from one
bus tour with the same
statement past millennial the new system
Michael many customs at any time
it was that bulldozed a lot but I soon
signifi- talking about his plan was like
look I'm set up the little man Tate
style 09 it'll be lost in Kampala E
getting the press them this is there
must be a pretty rock
open the a partier denims 1s 1s beagle
get a percent that a la manana let that
the he allowed a budget on all their
ambien is the same again want to look at
them was just get financial
what impact people about their life
locked up back to what does not equal in
the summer bus
it's not nice to meet a almost than in
control the whole day
a little effect thought I saw my opinion
till he didn't want to listen to on the
skin of Honor Society s
my bad I like a day eken sample from the
society as the content that musical
chairs
in my hands files each be paid ASAP
should reflect the human beings are
sacred
every detail I think that the most
important element in a CPR
quality sidewalks large so I wills
with Gramps were aired at least a couple
we choose can go one next to our
and be with you have these I mean the
main
iranians in both %uh for sixty years
wouldn't be his roles have been built
without any sidewalks and the supposedly
the people who would make buildings
alongside them should have built this I
was but they didn't of course and we
just hype
more and more just a big parking lot
more than a city
in be a loss up from one day to honor
him he stopped thinking he started to
to take these privileges so for people
these abuses of people away
and a in there reacted
people this ceremony he is among his own
at Gators that's because that is the key
as long as
yep
your butt yet several times he said
I don't meet to explain the law I don't
need to negotiate the law
the law is there this is a public space
and I will simply recover the public
space
period right now body there was a major
mistake there
he could have explained better to be
honest in there was a
are a very strong a movement political
movement finance
by EA by the owners up there on the
shops in
in Beloit to to get through the pain and
loss
there was a very difficult for you to
have black hair before that he was
extremely difficult to get
something so obvious I mean there was
almost impeached and then when I tell
somebody a broadway was almost impeach
is almost it sounds almost comical to
their body was not funny at the time he
simply because I was getting cars
of disciples
victory at all yet over them done
but thats BBC people
is the biggest among the nose with them
yep you of course he's
pro-business as the most extreme
capitalists
but businesspeople that respect the
rules
businesspeople that understand that
public interest comes before
their private interest in people that
are willing to do sacrifices into
contributed to the to the benefit to the
due to the quality of life of the city
the
him
on
0 so he takes huge amounts of money to
make the flyover is the elevated
highways everything
so review I'll out these priorities to
be gone DC to prioritise you have no
money left over to
barks when their cities or libraries or
schools 0
would be an awesome started think this
tough decisions should I have
0
limited amount of money it I cannot
spend that money
to favor benefit that
15 percent 15 percent of the population
about what time
that have a car
have one medium bursts but with that the
misery not poverty misery extreme
poverty that's less than one dollar a
day
to survive in to pay for everything so
much money to invest
in giving
water in sewage this
good neighborhoods and me
health an indication and I will not a
best more
me highways 0 for people who have cause
I mean it's
its see many more
when I write as many you I had legal
order to the more usual because we have
been
ask what the debate on private land so
we were able to negotiate with the owner
we're going to get property titles is
used to flout
would sOooo should be here when the rain
so we would be pumping stations on the
source shaped by penalties
we will be schools in inner-city schools
the nearby libras the business rates
the Alameda del Porvenir was built to
run through the poorest areas in bogota
were paved roads and yet to be built its
radical new approach was not just in
road-building
but in its statement the priorities
business at
BDSM bicycles read-only here you can see
Paul
be for this room area be bicycle area
and the cars are in the modern I'm of
course they would love the baby is 3 for
cars
who is not that I have anything against
me but we have good morning
we have to choose what to do first and
besides I don't know
that I only had three years as mayor and
I i know if i do you do some crazy
project ladies no one else would never
do it
sometimes people may wonder why is
probably the extra space important
even a falsity were there are so many on
red needs
what I would say precisely this is we're
it's most needed because
the I bring calm person goes to
country houses to country clubs
to a large apartment or house with
garden
and the knowing cumbersome for these
people who leave very cramped spaces
the only alternative to television
they have for their leisure time is part
of the restaurant space
delamater is the longest pedestrian
walkway in Latin America
more than just as phone concrete grass
and trees
it's now part of the social fabric
connecting three million resident
it has like three ends it's like a
threat
that schools to see him goes here
are on the scene in could making
connections over everything
a connecting does million so
three %uh the main lines after
millennium are connected by the enemy
then had to go through all that big
parks
that we're going to build run them he
had Dutch
schools and libraries on
so that I mean that connects everything
ok
people use it in very different ways
window
he was going to be for mainly for
mobility
to get from one point to another
but some people use it Sopot
so they go out and some the same black
cunt
government by can go back to the house
maybe some of them
didn't know it goes 17 kilometers long
but it doesn't matter I mean changes the
only of life
over around a good tip is busy but good
CP
where the whole neighborhood is out and
these witnesses issued the grade in
low-income neighborhoods because
I in upper-income it was very sad
because they are inside a shopping mall
here they are all in the park all the
neighbors
walking riding bicycle the the Dawgs
the farming youngsters plane
this is what lowers crime rate with nato
then there was no choice their friends
that a manner that goes
through neighborhood that was the most
dangerous neighborhood in both time
after that I was built there that change
complete miss him be k my life
so a he wasn't anymore
the most dangerous place in the city
statistics changed because of their
the project and that's good there are
many theories about why
the crime rate went down in both power I
think that
the most important thing is that the
social organization gain a lot of
legitimacy because people thought the
CP gore was on missed was efficient was
improving the quality of life so when
with the when the system has legitimacy
eight people obey the law more
they denounce more those who break the
law
I'm D&D gorman itself has more
more authority to be strictly in law
enforcement
when you're ten yards and yards
and the Los is determined to see that
public good is not run by private
interests
even if that means personally policing
the Alameda
the
we have more people killed every year in
Columbia
bill israel's and cyclist that people
were killed
by the conflict the military conflict we
have so these are important issues
so I would say that are protected by
school way is not just something cute
not somber
architecture 11 but the
East up a right or less with think that
only those who have access to our car
her right to safe mobility I would say
that
I would create community is very
important that we can generate
appropriate solution or our own problem
we don't have to look forward other
places but it's important to look
forward but
that we can without work yet TT
producers outward own solutions
do our own problems would we have a bite
we
a protected bicycle way this is
important because you protect cyclists
point of idea is also very important
because it's a simple
shows that a CP said on a thirty dollar
bicycle use equally important to 10 not
thirty thousand dollar car
is very powerful symbol for the mall
group
Enrique Penalosa left office with one of
the highest public approval ratings have
any mayor
his vision continues to shape but
without today
reclaiming the city not for cars not to
delete few
but for all her people
i think is a much more fun city now no
more people out in the street
hundreds of thousands go out to jogged
ride bicycles
these blue-collar days bit more youthful
more
looms
Penalosa chains a way of thinking and
missing
I mean he understood that changing this
piece
which would leave can improve your
quality of life
in a big way I mean change the public
space in this heat and
make people more health I'm Mike
pianos have has national ability
to to have this fantastic dreams his
able to convert those dreams into
reality asked no other politician
has been able to do in this country
worries
most important is the change in attitude
all the people
I mean these was a city where people
thought the future will bring
worse problems and there was an biddy
Rigel changed to a city where people
have said the steam
Eventbrite and specialty they have
called feels that is possible
to build a better future by the way
I like to emphasize we are a sleepy has
horrible
over the Broad Institute we are not a
moral or anything
we are just trying to solve our problems
