the secrets lie behind me discover new adventures in 360 degree and explore fascinating world heritage sites, the w a world heritage 3 pm. now the me the welcome to global 3 sounds and confuses and combs smart phones. they inevitably land in the trash one day, but the potential for recycling is immense. mozambique tv is off just like a di. we learn how one coastal city is. i think it's defenses against future catastrophe. but 1st,
8:31 am
we find out how singapore is mixing different ethnic groups and economic backgrounds to solve its housing challenge. ah, an affordable home and deficient size in a good location, a rarity in many cities and only for the wealthy. according to the un access to adequate housing is a basic human rights get estimates, suggest 1800000000 people currently lack access by 2030, it could be as many as 3000000000. the un says $96000.00 affordable apartments would need to be built every day in order to make adequate housing universally accessible. it's time for government to get involved. some cities and countries already provide for social public housing programs. but these very hugely social housing accounts for almost 40 percent of the netherlands, total housing stock in south. it's just under 10 percent. while in germany it's
8:32 am
less than 3 percent. most countries have little or no social housing at all. we take a look at just state that turn that around. i think they should be very room. yeah . i have no kit, don't creekmore living space for the kids. if you're a designer and father of, for if my alon was proud of is 2 bedroom apartment, which is furnished in the style of a yard to me and my way it's a creative realization of singapore social housing. he. i had my 2nd but it is a good space to work out to pay the kids while they are growing up, but then you need more space for them as they grow up. but he's a good start for any family, for small family they acquired the apartment as part of
8:33 am
a program in which the state sales property that well below market value. and the ones will have to live in it for at least 5 years. they could have rented instead, but, but the government offers incentives to buyers. and so for somebody, you get to have additional guns that we have you we've purchased the house. so we to help a lot in finding out who, who around 80 percent of singapore and live in the state subsidized departments. they referred to as h d. d 's, which stands for housing development board for decades. take, you was an urban planner for the h d. b. his designs had to be inexpensive,
8:34 am
practical and quick to bill. the units were rentals at 1st, but converting them to owner occupied units brought many advantages. people will look up to the inside the home calling don't enjoy this message. don't take care. but now you see the cory doors, the car is very well taken care of because they own the place. they don't want to do any damage. singapore, the government realizes that high quality, affordable public housing encourages social cohesion. take care of you explained that this game was not just about building housing. it was about creating communities, spaces, were doctors and car mechanics, painters and musicians all live side by side. also, one thing we learn is they will put the poor family with the richest enemy together. the children will learn good habit of the reach of them and so they will
8:35 am
improve them so much faster. the public housing estates are designed as a melting pot. it's not just rich and poor who live side by side. multicultural. singapore also implemented a quota to ensure a mix of ethnic groups and h d b estate and prevent the formation of enclaves as a real estate agent. ron schon, can't sell this 2 bedroom apartment in a prime location to just any buyer. he has to take care to observe the government integration policy at the moment for this locations. this is, this is a chinese so generally speaking, if a chinese by a come along, we don't see much of problems. but if you have races sometimes, then we have to check, you know, is it before them? yeah,
8:36 am
this apartment is expected to fetch around 800000 euros. relatively new properties can be resold for a sizable profit over time, their value depreciates. after 99 years, the apartment blocks automatically revert to state ownership. but even then the model usually pays off for the owners. you can decide whether to pick it up or not to pick it up. but if not, if the parcel and it's not selected for this unblock your prices for, for him to be. then the line actually go back to the state, singapore style. social housing was only made possible by a law that allowed to purchase land at low cost for public use. today, most of the land is owned by the state. it's a top down model, but it enjoys wide popular acceptance city and it's male, one or no exception. there 67 square meter apartment costs the equivalent of around $160000.00 euros, but they plan to upsize soon and are confident they'll get
8:37 am
a decent sale price. to see my house is beautiful, differing from the flat. the ones have already paid off their mortgage. they know they'd never be able to afford to buy in the private sector. singapore has one of the world's pricey as real estate market. singapore, social housing helps maintain social cohesion. but it costs the state about $1.00 bill in year of the year. there's a mixture of the so you don't fall on fi from houses within a single structure. so that those people from different social background to mix and each other with stringent regulations and generous subsidies, singapore has created its own form of public housing that seen as
8:38 am
a social asset and not a stigma. who now we had to a city facing rather different challenges, bay ra in mozambique. 2 years ago, psycho need i hit the coastal city, destroying countless homes and burying entire districts under water. hundreds of residents were killed in many thousands of the homes. the city is determined to ensure that she does often never happens again. it's introduced an ambitious conservation program are reported to fun man and his team headed to beta as part of our global ideas theories. and discovered that not everyone welcomed the measures. they stopped before dawn fishermen in the city of pharaoh need to be out on the water all day to make it worth a while. let's go me
8:39 am
out. every i learned a trade from his father. he grew up in the fishing community of prior nova. today he heads up the local fishing cooperative and knows just where to get the best catch up. bring it in, bring it in, was supposed to that, but times are hard. well, there are a few of fish now. often there. net come up, empty. the sea itself, so it's the biggest worry, every year, storm type in their homes. kid shoes go, but they destroy our boats or houses entire villages and we think we need to leave . but where can we go? and there is nowhere secret. and then there are the psychological basic and the last one covered our houses in 10 meters of water. she was the 10 meter
8:40 am
dish made for the port city of bearer and its fishing industry. the sea is a vital source of income, but every november when the season starts, it becomes dangerous. so the city is investing in green infrastructure designed to absorb the destructive force of the flood waters. over the last 5 years, barren has begun to restore the natural watercourses and basins mangrove had been planted along the banks flanked by large parks. the big green park at the centre covering $44.00 hector's of land is now almost complete. the city may bon, okay. he just come to inspect those of us, but that was the gardener's need to trim this area. again, it's dried out of it, unknown vocal cause these green areas are designed to absorb water holding back the worst from the city.
8:41 am
they will have become a pioneer in green infrastructure on the african continent. ok, there been some when we do, we need to think about how we can continue living in the city. obviously how we can cope with the challenge of climate change without leaving more problems for the city damage get federal, mavita, complet, i simply and sustainably, and develop a sustainable lifestyle for our city and much more difficult to i mean a bit up so that we will be safer and more prosperous and more attractive to businesses in trying to negotiate. but it means the fishing community has to move. prior nova is located in a former mangrove fund which will now be replanted. presidents are being asked to move to camps on the edge of the city, like this one in my dreams he far away from the sea form of fishermen. leandro manuel lost his home and his boat to psycho and e die in 2019. so he moved. he
8:42 am
voluntarily, he now lives from farming and his building his own house before that ending in which did he do that i would never go back again. no one wants to return to that way of life because it's difficult to be dangerous. the little girl was at the end of the key. it's like fighting a war and get them not against armed men, but against water. and water is not an easy opponent of our future it here, but not if we fold our arms, which we have to work hard, did english as daddy the city authorities of it, him and 200 other fishermen, small plots of land each on which to farm and build a home, it's an area that's safe from flooding and suitable for growing rice. but not everyone. shares mon was optimism the house of his neighbor, bernardo montela, was flattened by powerful wind. mckenna would rather sell fish like he used to,
8:43 am
but that's not an option here deal. but even though we can't afford to travel to the sea and buy fish to sell it here. so no, no one could make a living that way. not that much of a problem, so we're growing rice instead, but the soil is depleted right? for this year we had a lot of rice, but because the rains failed and everything is withered, what's they got to put occasional father java 50 doing a visit to a residential area on the coast may occur. reach appeals for support for his plans . wave break has to be built in the sea. protecting the city from future floods, top priority, and he takes every opportunity to persuade local people of the need for change. he believes projects like the green park and the relocation of prior nova vital for the cities future. and he's hoping local residents will support him in no rush. but this is done. we do need to use all our knowledge and expertise to pull the city
8:44 am
out of a swamp nest. and is that the stuff? that's why we're organizing big projects out money. because we want to govern better and serve the people better. maybe all have a goal of ensuring that tomorrow we're no longer on the list of cities. most threatened by climate change, dodge mice, sit davis, i was good on. this was just these mcguffey school marcus on the other side of the bay. the fisherman continue working over at the moment. relocation to the camps is voluntary. many realize that it's too dangerous to stay here. long term that's round of rio and his colleagues find it hard to believe they would make good farmers. i mean, i don't think moving to the camps, the answer, whether dharma or rio, maria, as there's no point as why not protect the coast from erosion. if we stay here and
8:45 am
continue to fish for our living as the fishing cooperative of prior. know violet almost ended up finding a safe place to live. that is both close enough to the water and affordable is certainly not realistic. otherwise we're bringing environmental conservation to life with learning bags like global ideas. deutscher fellows, environmental theories will show you how climate change and mental conservation is taking shape around the world with teacher resources as already educators can start right away. knowledge sharing to download it. now for free, global ideas learning what is a circular economy? me taken mt disposable coffee cup. it goes in the bin shoes, check them out,
8:46 am
out of date. so production use, disposal and then more production everyday life in the modern world. it always the tremendous amount of valuable resources, including finite ones, like oil, gas and precious metal. our disposable society creates tons of dangerous. however, emphasizes some killer patterns. everything is a cycle grow and when they die, then nutrients return to the soil. and then the cycle begins again. can we create such cycles so that the products we use today become the resources of tomorrow? yes, we can, in this killer economy the air conditioners, refrigerators, laptops, smartphones, it's hard to imagine life without electronics. consumer demand continues to grow
8:47 am
every year, but the rate of obsolescence is also growing. electronic waste is piling up with $53000000.00 tons of the waste generated every year. it's the world's fastest growing waste stream. and on the global scale, this is it like as much as 1400, i was sort of weight of 1400. i feel like every year and as you mentioned, well, the amount of, of goose will be will be increasing. and we are, as we are forecast that is amount will double in the next 3 decades. today, only 20 percent of the world's e waste is recycled. it's hard to track the rest of it. a lot of it ends up in landfill sites in africa and asia where it pollutes the soil, the water in the air. it also poses a serious health threat. mountains of discarded electronics also arrive every day
8:48 am
here in atlanta, in southern germany. but much of it is pretty good use around 70 percent of the electronics deposited here can be reused. the company a f, b repair is old hardware and devices, and that's no easy task. technician over visor knows every trick in the book. he's using a hair dryer to soften the adhesive, holding the smartphone together so he can replace the screen. well, it puts a lot of obstacles in your path, even when you want to replace a battery. there's a lot of it, he says, and in general, the newer the device, the more complicated it is, complex. spare parts are usually taken from devices that can be sold on again, recycling electronics means resources are used much more efficiently. last year,
8:49 am
the company a of be recycled, nearly half a 1000000 electronic devices producing the same quantity of new devices would have required 25000 tons of metal and 300000000 leaders of water. killian kaminsky cells, the refurbished electronic products to his platform, referbed advice that i spent my last, i might know where to buy, sustainably produce food, organic food or sustainable textiles. but with electronics, people often felt they had to buy a new or 2nd hand from a private individual on mine. but then you never know what you're getting. is there a guarantee? will it still work after a week and people in the bus many items can be repaired or refurbished. kaminsky says that requires an average 70 percent bless fiyot tooth and in new product. these items are also cheaper and all the customers are now much more willing to look for something that's stable. we've noticed the level of awareness has
8:50 am
increased considerably over the past 2 or 3 years influence and partly by the fridays for future initiative and administrative consumers know they need to live more sustainably. and electronics are key factor, but i tend to be in the child's picked manufacturing smart phones is one of the most resource intensive processes on earth. experts say introducing circular strategies and making electronic items easier to repair, is essential to reduce the industries, carbon footprint. we all know for several decades that we need to improve repair and the industry knows all the regulators know all day, but it's simply well not happening and actually the reverse is happening. so i think that's a, that's the time of waiting that the market will go solve. it's is, is over. we need, you know, strict regulations, any items that can be repaired or set aside and shredded. then they're sent to belgium to is often constant, huge environmental problems,
8:51 am
rather than extracting them from the earth, the company can recover up to 20 precious metals from electronic scrap. still, this is a rare example worldwide. first, the shredded waste is tested for its metal content and then placed in the blast furnace where the plastic is melted and used for generating energy step by step, the metals of i'm separated from each other and build it down. there are other ways to do still with an indian renewed if you for was for instance, one of the metal springs you reduce the majority of the other metal in your process . our focus is really on the precious metal. can we get out of it? and indeed, we recycle them to the higher so that they can be used in different shapes. the metals contained in one smartphone are only worth about one year old 50, but with around 200000000 unused cell phones in german households alone,
8:52 am
the potential is enormous. right now, very few old phones get recycled, but this urban mine of wasted electronics is potentially worth billions of euro's share of recycled materials for making new applications will only grow in the future. but that requires really good connection. not only awareness, i think there is still not enough awareness to make the connection successful. but also if you have a collection scheme as demand for high tech products grows, the earth, resources are dwindling. while the human and environmental cost is increasing. introducing a circular economy for electronic goods would mean equipment could be used for longer and would be easier to repair or recycle right now. that's the exception, but it needs to become the norm and the transition needs to speed up. a great way to get to know
8:53 am
a country is through it. today's global snacks comes from the rounded by mountains, the picturesque town of flores is located in southern mexico. many indigenous traditions are still cultivated. there are taco bars on every street corner, but with in kansas says his customers, another local speciality gotten that, ah, the base of the initial snack is corn meal, like a lot of mix confuse at the puzzle for that. but i love that meant the 1st step is making the dough from corn meal went low, almost on the matter. we combine the corn meal with wheat flour, but to give the tortilla more consistency in my experience. and
8:54 am
before it gets fried the dough toasts on the griddle. in the meantime, rubin prepared the toppings shredded meat and cellphone. a lot of my tell you, look at tomatoes any variety to the got a nutshell. i think when onion of 2 they make it really juicy. yeah, yeah, of course, plenty of chilly and integral ingredient in any mexican dish. everyone knows that you actually do your food. that's how every meal starts. in some parts of mexico got not just served with cheese and cabbage, popular across the country. this streets that costs around $20.00 paces the equivalent of about one. the way this are you in that long way. you can have it for breakfast or lunch with
8:55 am
whichever talking. you want like spicy snack. connected to specially good, later at night. but this indulgent. icey snack probably shouldn't be enjoyed every day. the matches of fried in lashings of oil is, is them would be very typical because we'd like wally food a little bit too much and i was just going with the dough and the meat are fried in the same oil. and then on this, every year was put in like that and then that gives good not just their flavor and makes them so tasty it up. what everything and what and they will so much the, the traditional dish from the region that remains as popular today. ah . c that's all from us this week at global 3000. thanks very much for joining us. do tell us what you liked about the program,
