not tech can improve the quality of life and especially stick around that if you can. i money keeps making that. thank you so much for watching. the can you see is what old cars tires have to do with the production? here's a hands on the real media watch now on youtube. in charlotte, the currently move people the on the world wide in such

a hassle. jessica middle castle josh. find out about robina story info, migraines. they live in the countryside or in a city more than half the world's population that now lives in cities and that number is only growing city. life often means of crowded spaces and less traffic jams and bad infrastructure. and when people move to new cities, loneliness can be a huge problem. it could also be an issue for older people. luckily, there are quite a few solutions floating around. and that's what we'll take a look at today on whether it's kim trust that tokyo or deca mega city populations are exploding according to a you and report indian capital daily will hit 43000000 in the next 10 years. and that's just one example. in cities grow the needs of its inhabitants,

rarely prioritized, so in order to better understand those needs. so the plan is in a stony is capital talent, came up with a new idea. digital twins creating virtual copies of new districts before they actually get built. and that's what we have here, a digital twin of when depot a few to district in a stony as capital talent. the virtual representation helps to test and improve living conditions in the new quarter before the building process stops. what are the benefits of having a digital twin and the planning stages is for example, we can already simulate the micro climates and look how we change the cityscape to actually make it better for us people and for nature mock as hell and his team created this digital twin with the help of data on the structure of the area, transport routes, the weather and vegetation. next, they use the digital twin to map out the general design of the district and to find

a deal spots for schools shops and coffee ice. so digital twin firstly helps you place the density to different spots and play around with that and understanding where the people are in that area. and this is actually the foundation, the digital twin that can also simulate construction materials and energy demand and helps the plan is calculate how the city escaped greenery end with a will affect the mark or climate of the new district. right. change the street 20 degrees to the left. i put some trees on the front of the waterfront, and now it's uh change the wind on top of it. then suddenly i can see the heat islands and the cold island exchanging. and this gives me, for example, this universal thermal comfort index, which measures which temperature are comfortable for people. tell estimates that using the digital twin quote, reduce c o 2 emissions,

but 80 percent over the 1st 5 years alone produced. and so it helps us to see how much materials we need, what is their footprint in general, and what happens if we change out those materials instead of having to rely on experience and opinions, digital twins fed with large amounts of data can find the best possible options from an environmental, social, and economic perspective. this could also help promote using public transportation walkways, bicycle lanes and recreational areas. l hopes that more digital twins will be developed using this software in accordance with each cities unique requirements, the 3 to 55 years. our plan is actually to make it more self service, more universal. so able to actually apply to places that have a much different climate than this known as like min by in india for example. so just take the tool, you put your pop in,

and you can actually work way to put yourself on by and tell them clearly very different cities, but they do have one thing in common. many people living that can often feel lonely . in india, there's an app for older people to combat this problem. it's supposed to help those who feel alone, online and offline. gender content and remish and sunny live alone in a flat include a grammar, satellite city of delhi. both this on live abroad with their families. and the only thing that we do feel only our children wants us to move a brewers, but it's difficult to actually be. yeah. and honestly, we belong to a generation that loves or in indian culture, saying no matter how many facilities are available in other countries, because it cannot replace the comfort we feel here. and when the children recommended the up based service amolla the helps the overly access medical services, home health care and maintenance services, and even a community to engage with of entertainment sessions. a,

a caregiver cold amolla daughter, looks off to the couple's needs and gives them company. so the, sony's, the caregiver is 25 year old. my name is shawna dmo, a daughter that spends time with her, assign senior citizens and helps them sort out their medical documents by using the app. it lets you add a person's medical history, the doctors and insurance details maple the task for lots of people who are quite old and the children live in a different country. when can somebody take care of and lots of things with the medication. but the medical appointment is also planned every day. we call them at a particular time to check on them to see if they need anything or currently i take care of 35 people. go with the kids as well. how may i select my email treats us like a family member? i guess she asks about so daily routine to size up and immediately noticed the

final sound in low and off of everything is ok if the week the gets good. thank you . i've done the opposite of but services luck and loa, come at a cost. the membership plans range from $0.50 to $170.00 euro is per month. and most states that medical records and other information us safe from misuse. however, great cat should be executed when handing over the information to a company that a good option for those people who can afford it. but bulk of them in nor date find that an affordable societies has found an affordable plan in the mo, the provides them with necessary services. and it's also giving them a dependable companion, like my email, from a given unload that schuman touch, is a great idea. another classic problem we see was cities of traffic jams, in places like london or los angeles, commuters can spend several days

a year stuck in traffic. it's not only all day a waste of time, but that also bad for the environment. so aside from leaving a more sustainable life, how can we motivate people to switch to public transport or cycling? perhaps by creating a reward system. let's talk about transportation. going places without a car could help save c o 2 emissions. and it might even get you a discount, green mobility companies that helping individuals to reduce the own emissions related to the transport by helping incentivize them and reward them for using low carbon travel. for example, green sense using that technology to reward people for cycling more into what the grain sent up trucks. the distance use is travel on the box on public transport luck buses. all the subway for every 6 kilometers traveled without a car uses awarded one green sense. these natural tokens can be used in local shops

. grandson currently has 800 uses in 3 countries. the majority of whom live in the hon, gary and capital for the past. and in munich, in germany, in europe, more than a 1000 green mobility companies work with incentives. but cities need to have a few things in place to use these programs. this could be increasing pedestrian isaac zones, developing most likening lanes and just always improving public transport to ensure that as many people are kind of sharing out these admissions rather than using their own cause. incentive stains are only one piece of the puzzle to reduce traffic and emissions to improve the quality of life in cities. but research has shown that these loyalty programs can motivate users to reduce that carbon footprint. often people do need that extra push to start engaging with climate solutions. you just download an app and then it kind of tracks it for you. so

there's a limit to what you need to do to start getting verbal. what's the living? a low common lifestyle in order to increase the quality of life in cities plan is the data. the getting thought her own cities is easier said than done because they're constantly changing. and in some countries, you'll find that not all houses and markets even registered race, such as a full, the peek, above and project in columbia. and now using satellite images for their analysis. how much water does the city really need to keep its residents healthy and happy? and how many parks are essential for a pleasant oven? less how many streets and black roots in short, good traffic flow of cities and demands change? informal settlements on plant and unauthorized housing. areas can lead to limited access to infrastructure and basic services at the university of faith in many in columbia, researches in the peak of and program of discovering the power of satellite images

. by analyzing these images, one carlos to k and his team were able to support informal settlements in the city as many and the images also allowed them to spot impoverished areas. know sources that with them as we develop quantitative methods, this allow us to generate variables from the images into back to understand a society without making a single survey. you know, says who knows what linquist, the researches trained a data model named newton. this system analyzes data to predict the future was the requirements in a city based on oven growth projections. what has been, what am i going to be? you download a series of historical photographs of the city, you want to analyze for free, artificial intelligence, specifically neural networks and begin to understand the dynamics that grows and can then make full costs for the future if those happen spots. so know this as this of myself. satellite images also serve as a valuable tool for identifying informal markets trading outside of full

instructions. this allows experts to monitor the conditions, dimensions consume, is 10 employees a lot less since they know part of the neural network which trades to detect more scientists, commercial presidents, eckleman like a storefront, this couple met some dice on display and c i q, u. so we looked at with millions of one point server, the sitting processions and with this tool, and then had new maps of a distribution of commercial activity within the city. you will see on deck comments 7 for less. yeah. the use of satellite images has also become crucial for the global challenge of sustainable and mobility. life pointing and yeah, the other stuff pointed to the point of being able to use it will be stipends sources of information in open. the software obviously allows us to reach a new level of complexity. we can even explore variable attorney, impossible to test with the official information, but this data can really enhance our research processes during the day and the c us

. analyzing satellite images can be very useful in of, in planning to safe god sensitive information. however, data security is crucial when using them. and there are many examples of how tech solutions can help improve the quality of life in cities. but in order for these solutions to really have an impact and make a difference, authorities need to fully embrace and promote them. what changes would you like to say in your city and do you think technology can help find those solutions? get in touch with us on social media and let us know your ideas. that's it from us today. so you next on the respect, it's all about walk in waves and texting nature. that's right, sandra,
