transportation issues are nothing new. if you think of just the modes of transportation throughout history, this going from you know, horse and buggy to rail, to ocean going, betsel, steam liners, air ships. so there's 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 new problems. today's transportation mix is no exception. the biggest problem is that roughly a quarter of global energy related carbon emissions are linked to transport. but that's just one of many. many people have the experience of being stuck in traffic, and of course people don't like that. there's 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, transits,
8:32 pm
services are not always the most accessible. the most efficient, even the most affordable traffic jams are so universally hated that there's 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 boxes, 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 we're going to make this new tunnel system for transportation. and we're 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
8:33 pm
to go on, it hasn't stopped them. for example, you're on muskets, the boring company name, not 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 of hyperlink, a high speed above ground vacuum to popularized by musk in 2013 and pursued by a number of firms billionaire richard branson, the owner of the virgin, also got it on the fund in 2017 and a virgin hyper loop announced plans to build over ground back team tubes that would
8:34 pm
hurdle people at 670 miles an hour across the us, india in the middle east. but the closest these came to materializing was a single crew test in 2020, which reached about 100 miles an hour. far less than promised. costs were nearly 10 times higher and the test drive transported just to passengers instead of the problem is 2800 deterred by the failure of is above ground travel project bus optic . to go underground with this boring come 1st, the pledge to dig elaborate systems of tunnels under cities where autonomously dripping pods with 16 passengers would sit around with these under trends and it has been tested in katara and australia. it's a quote unquote track, what's the tram system that traverse has roads and has a driver despite being called autonomy? that's right. pretty much a bus looks kind of cool, but not a transit revolution. if it feels like we're seeing a pattern here, it's because lots of these could be defined as gadget bonds. the transit term for
8:35 pm
an exciting new technology that's actually less useful than what it's meant to replace. 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. we're 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 150 miles per job expects the average trip to be around $25.00, meaning flying taxis with compliments, not replace existing transport networks if and when these tech solutions materialize, they often bring with them their own sort of regulatory costs and safety challenges or failed to solve some of the biggest transit issues. ideally, mass transit should serve the mass says that means recognizing it as
8:36 pm
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 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 know, 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 toward the they're pretty under stated, they're easy to maintain low cost. they enable quicker and longer bike trips without the cost of showing a slight or tired place and busses are great local transit solutions. but
8:37 pm
what makes them really shine is dedicated lanes. like boca tons of bus expressway is where amsterdam expensive network of bike paths. and there's always room for innovation like emitting where cable cars help traverse spence, the built steep terrain. so it will take much more than flashing animations to solve our traffic problems. let alone curb transit's time it impact the billions of venture capital and cheap super tension. these tech solutions garner would probably be better invested in truly boring, but more efficient, real solutions the, the all 3 and capital vienna is creating a completely new district z h dot bestbuy is being constructed on a former air field on the outskirts of town. 27000 people are to live here. one day . it's a testing ground for sustainable housing and living. the subway was built long
8:38 pm
before the 1st house was erected. it only takes 15 minutes to get from the center of the capital to vienna's newest district. it's meant to be car free, so bikes can be rented everywhere, free of charge. and 7 very important aspect was the connection to public transport right from the beginning, the 1st step was excavating the late, and then the subway was built. the idea was that people knew from the stop, they could travel here using public transport instead of it 1st taking that call and then having to rely on that behavior and getting used to taking the subway. i figured on the, on the construction of the each that aspen as being supported by several research teams. magdalena group lima and slowly and truly are investigating in a mobile lab how the residents as ation travel. they get the data from an app, which i also download directly onto my cell phone. for the next few days,
8:39 pm
it will automatically record all the routes that my camera team and i take plus info about the means of transport used and our c o 2 consumption. the young researchers also go from house to house to distribute questionnaires. we need to know what the state is co is and monitoring continuously because there are changes in individual behavior and single tenuously fish that i spun is changing as well. so it's still under construction. i know it's one that built. so this still potential for the district to use new info for the next construction phase for the mix and follow up on the mobile lab shares. it's data with anyone who's interested companies, city planners, and the residents themselves. the data is especially important for the planning phase. the new district is meant to learn from its mistakes. to begin with is to levels had to 1st, it was tolerated that you park your car in front of the door just in order to make
8:40 pm
your move easier. but that behavior quickly became established and turned into a habit to give them that swan when it was late or penalized. there was a big fuss, although it was never planned. that parking would be allowed there like pockets. so one of the things we've learned is to work with the development company to make sure that these things are taken into account in the newly build areas. billing, 60 all overs each that spend their own multi story parking houses which are very well camouflage. but they're never closer than the next public transport stuff, so that it's not more attractive to take the car. my camera team and i are on board . we load 70 kilos of equipment into a cargo bike. quote, homestead isn't the only one of the planners as they started us, then he's also one of the longest residents. your household has to click is, isn't it? first glance, it's nothing special leading to all the initial development is pretty much just
8:41 pm
concrete construction with a few exceptions box. so not have to go. but this sustainable aspect is it all comes from the lake and the lake didn't exist. it was excavated. the overall thing in the environmental impact statement, it was stipulated that everyone driving in here was over a certain number of trucks a day would have to pay a tall. and then so that made the concrete so expensive homes that it was cheaper to produce it on site because it was a plan we built here and, and phone. and then they told me that the, so the 1st phase of they started asp. around was virtually borne out of the lake and seeing people and coming from the artificial lake is the center of the neighborhood. the whole district is built slightly sloping towards it so that all the rain water collect stare. in addition is fed by the ground water flow of the danube river. the star spun is home to some unique examples of sustainable architecture. at 24 stories and 84 meters high. the ho ho is the world's 2nd
8:42 pm
tallest wooden skyscraper. and the office building is under const tucked in here. that doesn't need central heating or air conditioning. extremely sick, brick walls make it possible the positive, but not in the 1st phase sustainability. it was not the big issue. no residential development was the main concern. and we didn't even realize that was a key to sustainability, all the things that turned out to be the case when the 1st thing started to work, we thought wow, that worked. now we can take it a step further. goals to then came social change when suddenly in society and in politics, the doors were opening too early on. we argued about things like planting big trees and ended up planning small ones. now it's common practice that they spent is built on spongy ground under the trees and plants that there's a layer of gravel, 80 centimeters thick. the gaps are filled with the substrate of sand, compost,
8:43 pm
and bio chart, which serves to functions. it can store water and also release nutrients with many residents, find the gravel beds around the young trees to drop various initiatives are trying to make them more attractive, but it's not all that easy the most so, but that's about to mean i'm home to applied the city of vienna for the senate in order to plant vegetation and then you have to prove that you will take home this responsibility on that. you will take care of it regularly us. okay, so they may say 5 them too much. such a permit can take up to 3 months for large scale projects, like the communal garden of heidi mac was gardner's association. you need even more patients with the joy of being able to harvest fruit and vegetables, makes up for the toil. oh, what an abundant nature blocked. well
8:44 pm
yeah, this is. yeah. and they have this fabulous name that called about this. um, the calling you told me lists what gets grown and when in the 1000 square meters of garden is a collective decision, vegetable gardens, sustainable architecture, good, public transport, access, none of this comes cheap. another core principle of fish, that is social diversity. the sale of real estate within the project to private investors helps funds, social housing and public developments. here. sustainability also makes economic sense. vast amounts of data are collected to ensure an optimized energy supply. europe's largest ever energy research project which employs over $200.00 people is underway in so you start as found sensors are installed all over the district. they
8:45 pm
record in real time, how much energy each building consumes, and how much it produces as it cannot be. this particular building is almost net 0 to use is just a little more electricity than it produces as a pulled up. see if i'm task. next door is an energy plus building. it produces more electricity than it consumes. it's like a spinner to this and we can go one step further. take a building that requires a lot of cool, but yeah, it will also have a lot of waste heat. how does that warm energy is released into the atmosphere and that's problematic for the surrounding city? it's more efficient and intelligent to make the waste heat available to the neighboring building. i met them not by the pageant identifying and solving problems together. the stuff is all about community, that's the message i keep hearing. we're on our way to vienna's newest mind about or municipal building a social housing concept dating back to the 19 twenty's. and my kind of hard to see,
8:46 pm
and i'm thinking you can still read on the buildings that they were finance from the revenues of the residential construction tax. that was a tax on luxury good. as automobiles, service personnel, entertainment, such as offering theater and so long ago. so on the out the, i take the, all of this was taxed on the funds. we're used to finance the municipal building projects organ. uh, do you mind developing fiancee or the tax no longer exist, but while other cities in europe are struggling with fire, willing rents and real estate speculation, over half of vienna's housing market is city owned. 4000 new subsidize homes are in the pipeline. the city already owns 220000 apartments. like these 25 percent of vienna's residents live in municipal housing. hello. hi. are you having down or com? yes. okay, great things. as well as just some estimate 5 off when i 1st came here,
8:47 pm
it felt very syfy and utopian from top to bottom. i expected to see flying cars on such things. so suppose this different is at this time. so what i think is great is that the neighborhood management, even though they organize lots of projects for their vision at residence and it makes you feel very at home as an extent on high move is the start as utopian as it seems. is this green urban development project community living? it's best. the last stop on my visit to vienna is an intergenerational apartment block. the apartments are small, but there are also communal spaces and a roof garden and, and to, to a strong sense of community, the not how long is this within sustainable living because we borrow things from each other and then the people ask, for instance, hey, can i bar u i n 2 and i just have my grandson visiting this and so i needed a called
8:48 pm
a baby rocha and a hi to help us understand. i was able to borrow everything so that was great. yeah, i can easily get both women move to the start. i spend from much bigger apartments in the inner city. i move neither have ever regretted this whole safari date is the miles of how many sports grounds that all under and around the train tracks to sewage, what they say, and that always in use p as a throughout the day, just until late in the evening. speed, i'm as always last uh, there's always something happen now. do you see tv who is vibrant makes me happy, been dicking me, said for me for all the buildings and the 1st construction phase had been state subsidized, which is why so many young families live here. the next development phase will see the construction of private leave finance departments, lots interest houses they shed at aspen is a work in progress and learning,
8:49 pm
evolving and flourishing the dynamic economy and a rapidly expanding consumer market. india is an emerging global powerhouse, many highly skilled young indians who moved abroad, returning home to be part of the other guys all very good morning. uh, welcome to our design screen. a team meeting at holland mobility, a startup headquartered in hyderabad, south india, home to almost 7000000 people. c e o is 29 year old, so we can't ready. he studied in italy and spain, but after gaining a doctorate chose to return to india. i had a very lucrative job, in fact, like it's a, it's a hyping job that i can be happy to set it on there. but what will drive me here to
8:50 pm
move is that the impact that i can to the end with the experience that i have. and the biggest problem that i can find the companies fleet of over 2500 electric vehicles are rented out to customer neighborhoods of money, such as deliver ray people. 3 years ago, ready chose to launch his business in india because he was confident there was a huge demand for electric mobility solutions. whenever you're dealing with 1400000 population here and that population needs the different types of solutions. and that's the benefit. anyone would get on top of it, the young generation that the india has, and that is what is going to drive the whole, make this one of the superpowers i'll get. the indian economy is currently seeing unparalleled growth. it said to overtake germany and japan, within the next 4 years, the startups must rooming across the country, prove that this is boom, time for india. when we started in 2020 november,
8:51 pm
we thought it was near to weight because right on that same year we'd scale it up between the and then the next 5 years with a 10200 because from data we scale or do i need to pause in our numbers, we picked up our 1st round of investment last year with the investment to be good for them because sometimes the vehicles based ride sharing company has already raised $1000000.00 in funding and ready now overseas a team of 80 people. many of them originally come from small towns and villages such as mechanics for of on coma. it goes to most of what if i'm learning a lot in my village, i was used to just being given orders, but here everything is explained. there's opportunity to develop and i've already been taught so much that would never have happened in my village. there's a world of difference between the city and where i grow out because he wants to show his boss where he comes from there on a visit to. so you to port a small town with
8:52 pm
a population of 4000 outside height or about originally traveling hadn't wanted to leave his family and his home. but he knew his prospect would be better in the city and the one ready to go. so before i went to hide are about to become a mechanic. i wanted to start up my own business here in my hometown, kind of, you know, not, i wanted to open a small garage, but it wasn't possible. no one took me seriously. they quibbled over everything, was completely demoralizing and well, there to go tomorrow is that of miles only the in the blue on the, the rapid technological progress underway in the cities has passed by much of rural india. the to morris live from farming making around $150.00 euro is a month for evans. mother says that politicians aren't interested in the plight of towns and villages, like say the poor and they will be not in here ever changes. everything is the way it's always being the government promised that things would improve button, nothing happened. even people with an education comp find work that pays
8:53 pm
a decent wage. and that's why my son moved to the city and visit i. this is not a world that ready is familiar with, but 2 thirds of india's population of over a 1000000000 live in rural areas. and there's growing awareness that they need more opportunities. it can be moving to the cities working that improving their lifestyle and what to what it can be and to achieve the dreams that they have in that head site. so as i would say, there is still a lot of god that needs to a full face. that's where the t hubs center in hydra bought comes in. it's a project financed by the state that advises and supports start ups like readies from day one. hello sir. good morning. how are you all good, so thanks a lot. anthony. a nice t hubs. chief operations officer welcomes young entrepreneurs interest in rule india. i'm going to take it moving out there. sustainability is moving out there. right?
8:54 pm
so there are start. that's what actually solving for real problems for non metro problems, but i think i have the same yeah. but video been problems. right. so um i think yes there are lot of started what's holding for those problems as well. and the taking the solutions out into the mazda of here in hyderabad, groundbreaking, new technology such as artificial intelligence is welcomed. while there are currently just over 300 startups working in the innovation center, this number is set to rise to more than 20000 in the next 5 years. entrepreneur is like ready predict that india will soon be an economic superpower. it's not too far to get the i don't see any good wiley of india type foot high w on even better tact ought to have a unique situation for us as and then comparing to anyone else and hide the bodies in that range. and india will be in that place, may have, you know, it's going to be a center point of innovation. india is population and economy are growing. and so
