and religion. brings me carlos. one of the really super consumable. card debt ceiling and rock'n'roll. 17 on t w. hello welcome to eco india what model organization the concrete jungle around us is constantly expanding to help you counter this we train the spotlight on green living in cities rocco coming to you from brandenburg gate in sunny bali. today on the show let's look at why boards out of the important part of the city ecosystem. a large city like bali is finding either way to be used to produce its

own food and remain sustainable and why it architects of india is being called an eco pioneer. the. first let's talk about one of my favorite subjects for many futurist predict the beers not ready father and we have robot farmers harvesting seed you closer to our homes or 3 d. printers creating a perfectly field cross off without emitting greenhouse gases but the food we eat to be has a massive carbon footprint i went to meet 3 game changers in the city of bali who are trying to find clean out in creamer solutions to help mitigate the problems in our food supply chains right now. 3.5000000 inhabitants is not a big city considering standards but there are still a lot of people to feed in the german capital i went totally exploded. sustainable

bully the garden needs food production. the ancient aztecs and the chinese they did many millennia ago now a brilliant company is using the technology of aquaponics to feed the city's residents in the center of bullion a former malt factory this farm is producing food for buildings it's a combination of reading fish and doing vegetables. nicholas lescott and a colleague set it up 4 years ago the carbon footprint of traditional food production is very massive how is this aquaponics the solution to help solve this problem well aquaponics as a as a way to produce very resource efficiently food fish and vegetables of highest quality and if you do that within an urban environment of course you have very short transportation mileage you have very short cooling chain chains and an overall better c o 2 or better than our reference farm here in berlin we produce about $400000.00 parts of base loads per year and we can produce roughly 30 tons of

fish and this is just a surface area of 1800 square meters if you could bring down from one of the 3 environmental benefits of using aquaponics what's the carbon footprint it's the water footprint it's the feed footprint and it's the ocean footprint actually for what you think is the future of this technology in general i think as humans we have to produce food in systems like this where you take a very small footprint to produce large amounts of food with less resources now this is a treat for a vegetarian like me i'm on my way to find out where i can find some lunch as fresh as this many places in berlin advertise the freshness of their products but it's impossible to be good bank industry god. at this restaurant deletes don't come from a field in stand you can watch a greens grew right behind the box inside the old glass boxes. am i can you tell me

how the idea for a good vacuum about you wanted to have a new form of astronomy fast casual astronomy in german is still very tradition in all your work along with convenience and so we decided to start the last front that has the most visible just be a circle and see words to the harming it's really a part of our work where we say ok you can have really high quality with still affordable and fair price but with super fresh ingredients what would you say of the challenges to something like this in the beginning it was very difficult to sell the idea to the gas it was not really considered being here were actually based then i remember when in farming fold the machines here were the farming models we had many guests that thought we're opening up out and not the restaurant but now after 3 years of course people know what they get food here and that we grow on for. any kind of consumption is a big impact on our end but i don't regard in the production of the transportation

and the complicity sued waste as one of the biggest problems in our society today but often what happens is when groceries into their expiry be that they're thrown into the bids but bullion has a very interesting way to tackle this problem this seems to be a grocery store like any other but the good stuff i believe to be. produced on expired food good stuff going to the trash bin elsewhere however this still good to eat raw file film is the founder behind this unusual shock. suchness is operating in 4 different locations in branding and an online shop this is such a simple yet you know it's a fantastic concept can you tell us how it came about you have for me already when i was a young child felt it was a lot of injustice that we have hundreds of 1000000 people also children starving in the same time we're throwing away food that's not possible anymore environmentally but all. ethically that's not correct so wanted to do something to

make this world a better place and that's why i started so. what does the future look like the circus and put a concept like our mission is was surplus to create awareness in the heads of the people because 50 percent of the food waste in germany and most other countries in europe is happening at home so we want to give the people again trust for their own census and our goal is right now we are throwing away one 3rd of all food in the world and the next 10 years we as a humanity appreciate food again more and use the food which we have instead of always producing more and more food which we throw away moves to come rough i felt he's creating a franchise to steve. i'm going to be very interesting places to be and what i've noticed is that being sustainable cleaner and greener is water from the norm than an exception is not the goal for every city in the way.

now i'm standing in here gotten a park right in the heart of the place is abuzz with cyclists and even those who want to just relax and the sun our next story highlights how these songbirds who are right for the summer from sub-saharan africa are making the busy city their home. 90 and. in many european cities the birds are disappearing. in berlin nightingales even a damage to annoying traffic noise like near the iconic brandenburg gate if you look at all sort of parks they often have an area around the outside of seattle so maintenance was very overgrown budget taishan so the brambles not holes in the nice girls and the sting on the ground so they need top protection. the birds growing population offers researcher. new insights. with the help of amateur bird watchers

and a free app they learn about where the 19 gals lived and their highly complex sun. it has as many as 190 different vocal elements researchers suspect that the birds may even speak different dialects. when it comes to birds in a crucial part of an ecosystem they help preserve and increase the region's blog biodiversity but cities around the world are finding it difficult to make spaces board friendly a delhi based ngo is trying to change that by building artificial mist with coconut fiber and bamboo sticks all about the city. though once you make it just how spiral is becoming conservationist in its absence

. its decline has been partly attribute it to the lack of an emotional connection between humans and the books which are in fact among our oldest friends. modern buildings with open rooms leave birds with nowhere to nest there are fewer crevices not so now and it's not just our homes. where there used to be green reopen planning has taken on an all new c concrete structures so we will. have shut them out of an altar from our hearts today they're not allowed anywhere near us economy on the. cutter he is a documentary filmmaker by profession and became a spiral conservationist by accident but us how believe are the meanings in the my office wasn't so deadly and on my way to work i would see flocks of birds and it

made me happy. somewhere in the middle one day i saw a man filling in the pipes where the birds nested when i asked them what they were doing this said preventing the spreading of filth. the man agreed to the ark i don't want you i don't i'm going to these bird populations were already doing and they were making the problem but. they said they were just following orders but i told them i would file a complaint and. clear. the church to file a report with the national green tribunal which deals with cases relating to and my mental projection did the trick rakesh cut 300 artificial nest along the road and then weeks the spiral settled down what's more they began to breed and lay eggs. bored by his success country set up to equal roots foundation to promote his mission and raise awareness of the birds blight.

lucky's country now conducts workshops for children in schools all over the country and for anyone who wants to help both survive life in the city. it takes just 40 minutes to learn how to make a nest with coconut fiber jute and bamboo sticks mimicking what the birds themselves would use to build their nest. these birds are very important for our system they're like a paranoid health system walk around if we don't insects that can be harmful to us professor so deep the chatter g. has been working on for years conservation and biodiversity for 20 years he also believes that predicting spado populations is crucial to maintaining the ecological balance this is one of the smaller sized. scientific. massacre which means that again it is falling in very close people. to be

a misnomer. and i actually found later it's a global distribution is very very high as it was distributed across the country across the lord but the problem of the business users that go and spite of the numbers are coming down. the international union for conservation of nature categorized as given conservation categories for species. are least concerned your . country has built over 100000 nest since he started his workshops and has taken his message to some 3500 schools i mean. the conservationists say is that the artificial nest was 60 percent success rate and are helping revive the populations of urban birds. even still build another 250000 over the next 2 to 3 years.

good for delhi it has someone like rocky country to look out for the city's birds but what happens in other urban regions how do birds adapt to a decrease in clean cover and rising human populations this explainer will help you can text allies that question. more than half of the global population lives in cities and that proportion is growing in 1950 there were 751000000 city dwellers but in 30 years' time there will be 6700000000. to make more space for growing urban centers forests are being cut down. that means birds are losing their natural habitats. to survive they too must adapt to city life. experts believe. that of the world's

11000 recognized bird species 20 percent now live in cities. but how have birds been affected by changing to life in big cities. in rural areas birds are nature's pest control every year they eliminate about a half a 1000000000 tons of plant eating insects. and many help pollinate and disperse the seeds of plants scavengers such as vultures remove animal carcasses. in the city however birds must adapt to a new environment they don't build their nests on trees instead they build them on structures such as electricity poles or apartment buildings. ready they eat discarded food cities lack the large numbers of insects and worms they would otherwise feed on. that's why some experts believe that birds that live in cities

age more quickly and have a lower life expectancy than the same species that live in rural areas. this city's noise level also impacts birds communication and reproduction. for example males that want to breed must compete with the sound of cars and other loud noises otherwise they have no chance of reproducing the animals must make a greater effort. that's why it's becoming more important to create spaces for birds when planning cities it's the only way to ensure long term biodiversity. what it. used to be an airport and today is one of the biggest in a city. there's an ongoing discussion in the city should be houses built in one

part of the field and if so can they be in. friendly an architect in india is considered by building communities where the least amount of ecological damage look . center of c.e.p.t. university campus you know. it's a creative haunt for art students as much as it is for professional artists. it's not far from the gallery. there's gallery structure is below ground level but keeps things cool here even on the hottest days. d.l.r. yosi housing complex is home to a life insurance company's employees they live together with their managers in the same building their children even play together. the brains behind all these projects is 90 year old architect krishna doll she wants his buildings to be more

than merely impressive. piece of structure. the natural. shadow. is. a log. in. his own studio mirrors that concept it's a mixture of traditional influences and those of his mental.

and i got. over the course of his professional life she has completed over 100 projects mostly situated in his hometown. being cleared housing estates like i. built for a textile company's employees. the vittra design museum in southern germany. is currently showcasing doxies work.

amongst the exhibits a model of the iranian housing estate for people on low incomes in the late 1980 s. every resident was given a small plot of land with a toilet the rest they built themselves depending on their needs and using purpose built modules designed by. now some 80000 people live here. the notion of designing your own home according to your personal needs is more relevant than ever right now in western countries as well. as the housing shortage cities berlin especially are increasingly having to. well with rising housing costs and it seems to me that does she has managed to combine a person's apartment with their sense of identity in a highly unique way. it's a meditation on how we want to live in the future how flexible a house or an apartment has to be whole sign. granddaughter kentucky hoofed your

rates of the exhibition they select it is most important works together. some of the most important lessons from his architect for many students and all practicing architects generation is that his approach to participate free and open ended. where there are possibilities to grow adapt modify over a period of time. last year does he was awarded the pritzker architecture prize for his life's work his opus includes the institute of indulging as a repository for ancient palm leaf manuscripts it was a major challenge for an architect to ensure it maintains a constant climate within. the mosquito drawing a sketch of the structure created by mr darcy the special thing about his

architecture is that its client responsive functional very simple different and is very attractive sustainable and mindful construction with constant reference to people and their constantly changing needs principles which are firmly embodied in both christian adot she's architecture. wooden buildings are not only trendy but they're also very eco friendly compared to the traditional ones made with concrete and pricks and normally now it's thought that wooden structures are useful for more than just grabbing a weekend the want tallest wooden high rise stands it be 5 meters tall and is located just 100 kilometers of the capital city of. the wooden high rise on the shore of lake muir in norway valley has 18 stories and a speedy 5 and a half meters high it's the tallest wooden building ever to be built worldwide.

the project was the fulfillment of a personal dream for developer. it's a symbol of what is possible. to make in good complicated buildings and also high rise buildings and how to reduce c o 2 and this is 60 percent lower c o 2 than in steel and concrete you think clearer and clearer so it's healthier both for people but also for the nature. life has an apartment on the 15th floor. he thoroughly enjoys being surrounded by would. like this i feel good you can smell the bird all the good you see makes.

doing something with you so i think it's more like living. concrete right so you feel that the building is living actually with you. it took years of pioneering work to make the wooden tower impermeable to wind and weather it was designed by for nike and move from a company specialized in temperate construction. project coordinator. ventured into new architectural territory. we have never done anything like this before so it was always about believing that it is possible. a lot of hard work and long nights trying to figure out how can we do this the biggest problem. lightness of the material so all the force of the external force as they will try to tilt the building or shift it. to load bearing called had to be something deeper into the

ground than usual. proofing was never a major issue the thick wooden beams can withstand a blaze even longer than steel another factor behind the trend in building with timber. 84 meter building under construction in vienna is also not afford for joe france is building an entire development with eco friendly material and architects in london are planning a 300 meter tower meter. i think it's a symbol of the green shift we have mental to think about and using timber. friendly methods of building. for the future not necessarily tall buildings but every building who can use that. wooden high rise also offers a hotel and conference rooms. the higher you go and the more you sense the wooden surroundings.

residents of the upper floors have to get used to the creaking in the swing of the timber. if the in this area. i think you can feel it a bit more like you think you feel it. it's material so sore i think it will hear something and that's normal and this is good . so far wouldn't high rises remain the exception but the us a tower is a good example of what apartment buildings could look like in the years to come. i hope you read many takeaways from today is sure to help you make an informed choice for a sustainable future we'll be back next week with many more sad stories until then from bali goodbye.
