he sees his successes on them in a weekly coven, 19 special. in 60 minutes on dw, we've got some hot tips for your bucket list. ah, magic corner chat. hot spot for food. chat and some great cultural memorials to boot. do w travel off we go. ah ah, what my last cities look like in the future. shiny dream skates, science fiction come troop or

something else entirely. like to return to nature. cities need to be barbed all there not throughout history or will destroy everything or energy generated there's never been something like this in the middle of a city. this nomination. reusing ruins could help protect the climate. ah, the problem with new construction is the energy required. so, ah ah ah, these 2 concrete talents belongs to the fall. he be elected cola alicia in bag

estate and factory for graphite production in what was then east germany today, the towers, the re kind of pilgrimage site for architecture lovers. the renovation was the brainchild of german architect arno brandenburg. he's famous for his innovative ideas. following the renovation, he moved his office headquarters from berlin's meter district to the concrete g d. r mega less that at the end of thought, we tend to tear down buildings when they no longer serve their original purpose to construct new ones will not because we think construction generates more revenue and higher returns of when china, every time you demolish building it and it all the energy that went into building it is lost or just wasted a plastic or some that nikita transcript to simplify. imagine half the energy is in the actual go ahead. ours are baloney. half is used for things like heating and cooling. what we generally think of as energy usage is with an not combined in

production to in a, it would make more sense to take the entire energy system into account to. so because when you see like that, the sun, every renovation saves around half the total energy input. cuz some people out with how much of from the health the angus blood in either all newton architecture. after all, isn't really disposable concrete, has a considerable carbon footprints and the sand needed for its production, isn't increasingly scarce. commodity cities would do well to begin reusing what's already there. another idea working with natural materials that can be found to me, a given construction site to ions, either gibson or fox. and it also says holes and the one that we have the renewable resource would that rudy seeing that countries where would, is being grown at delivering to countries with few renewable resources in lender the this leads to it becoming less available in countries where it was one change

diagnosed with an offer in the wood initiative of houston. so if we're thinking in terms of the total energy balance, or if we need to ask which local materials can be used for construction thinking de la carla has to present a colleague, a swiss colleague often constructs with clay. they will and he wants to build a clay tower here that he is led to the area around berlin has quite a loss of clay in so you could really try using it for construction, but then reinforcing it to him in such buildings would definitely need more maintenance than one's might a concrete over that, but it could work as unhook fulton in using regional materials and converting buildings wherever possible is a smart solution. nonetheless, some future oriented projects built from the ground up. take toyota and panasonic base companies are constructing entire cities to day to figure out what residents will need to morrow. residents of these living laboratory supply companies

with data as the those who make their home in future living berlin, a smart new residential quarter, big it eberhart is the project manager and shit, a living. but then in future living berlin, we want to share what life could look like in the future. wouldn't of this includes generating energy on the site that so having keyless access little never and making power sharing easily available. shilling. we brought all of these aspects together in this project and made the morality, unfortunately, by observing how residents use the different services. companies learn which products to focus on. the district has a past station, a smart laundromats and storage containers in the basement front doors, elevators, mailboxes and the underground parking garage can all be opened via app. no keys are

required as of years. and here a 5 car sharing parking spots. we have electric, smart, different models, a 4 seater window, a convertible fuel, and $32.00 seaters residents will only be charged for car sharing after the test phase of the residential quarter. future living has ended. ah . meanwhile, the japanese mobility giant toyota is building an entire smart city near the base of mount fuji. ah, a ceremony was held in spring 2021. to celebrate the start of construction. toyota

president, akio toyota, and woven city ceo james cochner. both took part the cities of the world are suffering a similar problem so far pollution and traffic and safety and technology holds some potential to improve those. and so open city is really meant to be a living laboratory where we can accelerate the development of those technologies and try to learn in this woven city 3 types of pathways will crisscross to form an organic growth pattern. one pathway will be dedicated to automated driving, one to people with personal mobility vehicles and one to pedestrians. the promised safe and efficient mobility thanks to artificial in intelligence. and we can use modern a, i to do things that we couldn't do 10 or 20 years ago. in the sense that the

same way, computer aided design tools have been able to accelerate the development of chassis or engines. we can use a digital twin or, or simulation of the entire city to understand are the flow of traffic, our personal mobility. what is the optimal placement or location of charging stations to support a population of several 1000 commuters or residents. wavin city is being built on the site of a former toyota plant. initially some $360.00 future enthusiasts will move their a group that includes young families and senior citizens. residents will generate real life data as they move through the city testing new products and services. toyota isn't the only company building test. the cities in japan electronics manufacturer panasonic is inaugurating it's 3rd large scale residential projects group. it's 1st to as fuji, sour, sustainable, smart town near tokyo,

so that we're all on the ground. bitter panasonic isn't building gigantic smart cities that are anonymous. but for you, in madeira, she's very got everything is designed together with residents, synagogues, good luck to you, 0. this is called a lifestyle based approach and i to degree here you got, oh, i watched it and if that lifestyle calls for virtual waterfalls, panasonic is prepared to deliver them. big pans can be tested on a small scale in laboratory cities. for example, an estimated 60000000 lanterns worldwide could become charging stations for electric vehicles. or they could be distribution points, digital data and services. the lanterns could also be equipped with surveillance cameras,

or used for traffic management. and what the, what sets our laboratory cities apart is that they're never finished. so why do we always have an eye on how they're evolving and on what's coming up next to me doing? panasonic doesn't do that alone, but in collaboration with residents and partner companies, sewell emergency, panasonic is also working with the smart herb and caught her future living berlin. these photovoltaics are originally from japan, the solar panels energy output is being measured using infrared image is it's one example of the many types of data, smart city supply companies with around the clock or thick myself. let's take a look at the 1st root. in the end, what matters is what you do with that data. it may not look like it, but here at the valid our a pass in spain just above barcelona. people are also thinking about future cities

that we sent a gwyle. art is director a valid our labs, a visionary project by a catalonia and architecture research institute. his visitor has come from london architect to ask a rodriguez wants to learn more about valid our labs, which uses practical exercises in their sustainable urban design research. and this is what this do that through the 1st exercise is they then it to, to do that on furniture while this is their cattle involved. but this is, we did it for all these things and we do, we escalate here, but this is my daughter timber you know, is really fantastic. we are doing timbers of serial number you had in building so you're going to be good. we're using the timber that is around in order to do our total dives. i mean the new model, the we follow the dotala systems is our city should ab source c o 2 instead of

a meteor door. ah, and in order to do it, we need to transform our buildings and by that and they should generate energy like as the 3, they generally did their own energy anal. so we should start to grow our foot e. we seen the cities or around the cities because a moving seems her on the wall. it is part of the centralized into your system of the 20 century. ok. so here you will see different thing about the right thought of the year. we bring the pines there. the idea then is to integrate agriculture and industry into the city of tamara. as far as possible, everything should be produced locally, food building materials and energy for this they paved the way to a c o. 2 neutral future de la, the word used for the prototype buildings comes from forest is located right next to the valid our lab need. so every piece of timber has been meticulously,

color coded, or are you see that we paint every song with a different color because we do a g o localization. and then i would a, the i used to be very rarely called because then when we see the construction that we do, we can know each piece of timber from with 3 was coming from outside . well, the whole point is eventually we're gonna have to start thinking about a different ways of building that are far more sensitive to their context, far more sensitive to their m province. that's that the key word is provenance. ah, that's something that we've not cared about for a very long time. and eventually we're gonna have to those big glass towers. and we're going to say, can we actually continue to do that? the provenance of energy has also become an important topic in climate friendly

future cities. energy would no longer be imported, but produced within the city through photovoltaics, wind, and hydrogen technology. like here in s thing and germany in the near vest stat green hydrogen will soon be produced right below residential buildings. officials from stuttgart, regional council are about to visit the site the unlike the society at 1st was man, this type of facility is something you'd expect to see in an industrial area upsets on there. there's never been something like this in the middle of a city stock katya. that was like crossing a new frontier. and that's what makes this project so special on us today. the final inspection has taken place varnished up. the regional council was coming to the side to take a look now their construction is complete about 200 squaws in milan. project managers im on marks grapes, the council members. reminders for the officials explain what they need to see and

the grade penson performance it plus the green hydrogen concept is designed to be sustainable. photovoltaic systems on the roof deliver the electricity that powers the electrolyzer. this produces hydrogen by splitting water into component molecules. it's located in the basement right next to the parking garage. the plan is to store this hydrogen and use it to power heavy duty delivery trucks. but the system does more than that. electrolysis also generates heat, which will contribute to supplying the neighborhood with warm water and heating that hydrogen is a highly reactive element. so it's important to ensure the system fulfills all safety requirements. professor norbert ish notes of the toes and independent body. the tests technical systems didn't join the inspection. no one from the truth came

by. it was just the regional port fish's the project scientific director and one of its investors mit now. yes. so they still want to see the inspection certificate by the took them out of so fluoride fluoride that was with us. hydrogen is seen as a fuel if the future and germany is investing more than 8000000000 euros in hydrogen projects to make it marketable by 2023 am from goods that said to salvazar orders on africa. so i think it was a successful day for us, megan green, hydrogen is considered to be particularly sustainable. but to power vehicles with hydrogen, you also need power units and a network of hydrogen filling stations. this is still a long way off the most unfair for hours with a passenger cars, one kilogram of hydrogen will get you around 100 kilometers as if it couldn't. so

without bailey production, your $400.00 cars could drive a 100 kilometers per day when the kilometer. just to give you an idea of what you can do with one kilogram of hydrogen on kito camp with trucks, you need more inquiries. look at a 40 tom truck out of each round for 5 kilos for a 100 kilometers kilogram. feel 100 kilometers. ah these days marketing green ideas is easier than it was even a few years ago. from 2011 to 2015 percent to go out was barcelona. city council architects, his ideas contributed to the city, growing into a muddle of successful urban development in europe. that 20 years ago, des, new frontier was how to merge the digital wall with cities architecture are notable

names. but now, or we know how these, this is our future will be the new frontier right now is how we merge cities with nature. so how cities become part of their nature, how cities are following a principles of the not allowed systems in order to promote life. to achieve this, barcelona still has a long way to go. signs of the early ninety's when the city hosted the olympic games, nondescript architecture and little greenery, but just a short distance away. one of barcelona is landmarks. the total glory s by french star architect gene new vein. 3 busy automobile rates used to intersect here. now, visitors walks trailer park, parked off what we have been doing in the last years is demolishing the highway.

and in fact, making a park because if you want to do a new underwear naturalization, do need to start out from their core. if you do hear, everyone will understand that you can apply these ideas everywhere. now, the architect is banking on a very old building. material for the future. would piece just been awarded the contract for social housing projects. it will be the largest wooden building in spain. ah, glad to change the next generation of sustainable architect here in the valid our lab. and new group has just arrived. the students come from 18 different countries . the center galant introduces them to his by of cities concept. we're going to start who walk the what will be our own seo, self sufficient secular systems as the basis for a new,

a vanity. the concept draws inspiration directly from nature. if you are london something you'll get a father's and i will california here because all of these was out of the culture. love. yeah. the bricks to make the house was gone in the southern. there was kind of self sufficiency because they weren't taken dead air from here. the water from here and the fire from the fathers. yeah. almost. birth, match it out. you are looking to the future. if we are not looking to the past year, we are look into the future because it do abandon a city. what you will get will be a forest because it far as good old because odd. it kind of introduce itself. the fathers do not absorb c o 2, while the city emit seo tool. you know, they're the foreigners had using natural resources like the sun energy. so we like to make a meal. the like trees and cities like forest cities need to be fired. all their

not to the history or will destroy everything. so the new that we need to learn how to make our living embodiment, not just copying the nature, but following the rules of the natural systems. the by your see, these are the cities that follow the rules of their natural systems, and this is what we want to do. lot traces of a medieval settlement on the site suggest a palace and a monastery. they were living here only 20 years. and we're still need to find the chart that they somewhere there by a cities should be largely self sufficient. this will dismantle global supply chains as the cities of tomorrow will find what they need in their immediate surroundings. we need to bring back the pollution to the city centers, but we need to do following some other rules. so from that point of view,

we think that the future is about being connected globally with vicious, dull networks, but been productive locally. i making energy making food, making material using 3 printing to these new process of industrialization. in spring 2021. the spanish architect, one, the contract for shown on a huge new development near bay ging his bio city will bring farming inside the urban limits. work energy production, water recycling for the center galard. everything belongs under the same roof or better still under many waves. ah, will cities of the future function as well as village communities of the past? and could we really make do without constructing new buildings from the ground up, german architect town. and brandon hoover is open to new ideas.

this one, the ema li girl wanted me to public. this was a former underwear factory, but so they made what were known as to love killers in iep ripped womens undergarments. with 3 elastic bands, reply go me through exiled in place of these 2 production building, some which together had a good 1000 square meters. was that you could a pill 3 single family houses with a 100 square meters. each cabinet can, does that replacing a 1000 square meters with 300 square meters as about tray doses. so often when you preserve building before you, when double m, as because you save yourself the demolition costs and you gain the shell in and thus preserve all the energy that went into creating it and stick gum gal quicken. oh no pendleton best anti villa is a spectacular example of sustainable building. he thing is provided by geothermal

energy and a chimney. the anti villa also incorporated an old fashion trick to reduce heating needs the thick of school. before i see that you can see the curtain royal here in that info we hang a curtain in winter. that means the area that needs to be heated is much smaller, are 80 square meters in winter, or well heated behind the curtain and a much larger living area from spring to fall through of herbs. ah, this technique was commonly used in the past and people would move closer together and thus reduce the living space that requires heating. if the more flexible approach to using spaces and one we may well be returning sale in the future. like on it, they sound as isn't, is on this. this building wasn't especially beautiful in quotation marks either, but that is something important to keep in mind when dealing with existing

buildings. it's august hid you shouldn't follow static on this and ask how can this be beautiful not hold what? no. should you only plan to one use in the future? questions on it instead is a lot, think about many possible purposes and study the building structure until the solution presents itself under that's under to lose all of this leads to a picture called which as long as it's coherent, if it is also beautiful in this research is global bearden if we think anything coherent, develops its own beauty and prickle to the eye, but it's not beauty you would have had in your mind, does an image beforehand. so in corporate, ah, not building from scratch is one step towards meeting climate targets. the e u wants to be climate neutral by 2050 germany wants to achieve this goal. in 2045, lou reaching these goals will require a lot of sacrifice. cities of the future cannot consist of sparkling new concrete

and glass palaces for us to continue to prosper. we must stop harming our planets. only then will we find that our future cities are good places to live in. ah ah ah ah ah, ah, with

is the end of the pandemic in sight. we show what it could look like. return to normal. and we visit those who are finding it difficult with success in our weekly

coping 19 special. in 30 minutes on d w. where all the good to go beyond the obvious as we take on the world. i swear all about the stories that matter to you. whatever you take by policemen, follow me. hey. you know we are your is actually on fire made for mines. oh,

what people have to say matters to us. i am. that's why we listen to their stories reporter every weekend on d w. o a ah.

ah ah. ah, this is dw news life from berlin. football legend pele dies at the age of $82.00. brazil's former striker passes away after a long battle with cancer. he was the only man to win 3 world cups, also on the program. benjamin netanyahu is ford in capping his political combat. now.
