protesting in the streets of cities around the world want to adopt an eco responsible lifestyle as quickly as possible they're ready for these experiment. has one of the young architects ready to design our experimental cities of the future. my colleague david leavitt's is to talk more about this now david just to start we saw images there of this project paris 2050 i mean camp areas really look like what we see is in 30 years you know it's going to really take a lot of commitment from the politicians there i don't want to go about guessing that but it's been paris hasn't had a major facelift since the 19th century so this would be a pretty big departure for the city it would also set a really huge example for other cities that want to cut their emissions and by the

way some of those ideas are pretty out there he's actually proposed installing electromagnetic flooring at europe's busiest train station the god you know that he says would turn people's footsteps into enough electricity to power a whole district of the city that's pretty crazy these are some crazy ideas but in a way they are about giving people optimism that there could be solutions to these problems what exactly does it mean when we talk about green or what criteria aka tex looking at a lot of it's about energy use especially as we get closer to that 9b1xb population mark in the next 30 years architects are just looking anymore though at the energy that buildings use they're looking at the energy that goes into making buildings and construction by the way accounts for about a 10th of the carbon footprint footprint. what i didn't know so here's the big question what's the solution well one of the potential solution is

the architects are looking more and more into recitals being torn down buildings this is a process sometimes called urban mining it's a great term that was coined by japanese professor in the 1900. it is it means reclaiming the resources in these demolished buildings that could even be for instance the sand in concrete which seems at 1st like well what's the big deal it's just sand but here in germany for instance there's hardly any sand left so initiatives to do this in cities like here in berlin could actually save construction project projects for having to import those resources from china and the us a lot about black plastic we all know about the problem with plastic can't we used well there are some new ideas for recycled materials we can take a look at some of the more sexy ideas than that concrete recycling there is a research facility and switzerland were researchers are experimenting with different recycled materials the prototype kitchen counter here is made from recycled glass the cabinets are made of carrot and potato skins if you would

believe it and the fancy marble in the bathroom is made from recycled plastic bottle caps so if we just you know reach into the garbage can we've got all the materials we need to make the right mix of the future if we can do that yeah i think that's great i'm sure we'll be coming back to this very subject much more in the region the near future david leavitt's as always thank you. with the advent of drones aerial photography has become much simpler but in the past manson is frances had to schlep lots of equipment up steep bridges and dangerous slopes to get those very special pictures a quite unique museum sounds to roll in italy is dedicated to mountain photography in the museum itself is a spectacular as the photos within perched as it is on top of a mountain. jumping into the abyss. conquering the summit.
