i think is everything challenging or some are making a muslim so much different culture between here and there. so challenging for everything ah, and his home is this. i think it was worth it for me to come to germany. i shut my got my license to work as a swimming instructor in vision. our 2 children on the adults. ah, what's your story? take part sherita on info migrant dot net ah ah, ah, well used to the streets of our cities being hectic, smelly and noisy always has been always will be. right. it's up to us to find our way through the traffic. what other options do we have and more than half of us now live in cities that are getting ever more crowded
10:31 pm
but for generations, cities have been built for cars, not people, causing traffic jams and pollution. many cities are already very unhealthy, and the climate crisis could make them unlivable within our lifetime. some people say we can rethink the cities we live in and make them better with. but what does that actually mean? how could we reclaim and re use our own cities to make them cooler and cleaner, and us happy and healthy amp? we're about to see how some cities in europe are finding solutions to their own urban issues. the french capital paris is experiencing a new revolution on its streets. barcelona in spain is making the most of the cities unique designed to revitalize itself and both cities a learning a lot from this place,
10:32 pm
hunting and in the netherlands. with you might think the netherlands is far too obvious, a choice to start exploring people friendly streets. but do you know how hard dutch people had to fight for them these moments of change have never been easy. and many people think that in a netherlands is always was the case, but also in the netherlands, it took radical change like literally urban warfare and the 1970s of people going through the streets and demand the streets back. so in the netherlands, you had the movement that was called stop the child murder in the 19 seventy's. and that movement really managed to get people to reclaim the streets that at that time, what really engineered towards providing more space. because this is marco to promote strict aka the cycling professor. he had the faculty of urban mobility futures at the university of amsterdam, continental us. the next generation of urban planners in land use and mobility.
10:33 pm
what is missing in our current conversation about rethinking urban transportation? glad mom i also, she has a lot of ideas on social media about how we use all cities. the streets in our cities always were the remaining space between buildings and in the remaining space between billings, everything happens, social life happens. trading happens, children could play people with me and people could travel through for this change radically in the 1000 twenties 100 years ago. and that was the pressure that was introduced by the motorized vehicle. cars came in large numbers to that street and basically put pressure on the way that we were thinking about the 3, the literally colliding with all these other purposes that were happening in that space. and to respond to that. a whole new domain of thinking was introduced for traffic engineering sort of wasn't born in the 19th thirty's and developed the language around seeing streets of places where people want to go as fast as possible as individuals. and because of that,
10:34 pm
it started to solidify into institutions and into loss if the behavior is solidified into concrete, asphalt and technology. and finally, it solidifies our imagination, or we now take it for granted that we think about the street as places that are primarily there for vehicular throughput. the way that we develop the streets with this logic makes our streets unsustainable, unlivable unsafe, and maybe even unjust. so we don't think about streets and places in terms of justice, and that's how we thought about them until the 1900 twenty's. they're no longer a place where our children can play or can find out how they autonomy. lee can go through the city and become an adult citizen. and this is something that society now slowly starting to realize that this is unacceptable. we need new narrative and as soon as you start using them, we see that people suddenly start seeing the st for what it really is. and they start understanding that there are something to fight for. i think there is a political or societal movement of people that are sort of wakening up to this idea that you can actually tell different stories and different narratives. like
10:35 pm
for instance, shifting from we are closing streets off for one day. instead of that saying, we're opening streets for one day and suddenly we see what that does with people that people start realizing, wait a minute, we have been accepting our language, our narratives about the streets. what if we challenge them? and i think that we see globally, this movement slowly gathering momentum and now what it needs to sort of a couple of seeds of places that show what can happen if you really recapture that narrative. one person already planting seeds is yan kaminsky. his animations invite the viewer to imagine how streets could look if space for cause was replaced with space for people, for young sharing these utopian visions is a playful way to question how we think about our cities are no longer wanted to wait for the increasingly urgent social change, but to make a contribution myself and as a communication designer, i decided to make treats without cause visible. and i realized that there was so
10:36 pm
much space to create and show possibilities of what we could do with the streets without coff ah, or bicycles or feet. as the dutch pulled them a key to sustainable city concepts. we offer the site clean professor to explain how the netherlands and amsterdam is a good example of what happens if cycling gets respected. place at the table of traffic engineering and what they show us. because what happens if you take cyclists are human behavior as a central element in design, instead of how can you make humans behave according to your design and an answer them? we have some places where we experimented with what happens if you eradicate the traffic light logic on an intersection. ah,
10:37 pm
so this intersection was redesigned because there were so many cyclists compared to god drivers that the municipality considered what would happen if we take out the traffic light and the traffic lights actually ensure that god drive is good, go through, but didn't really make it safer. so they did it best, they took out the traffic lights and one of the peculiar findings of the elderly that did it was if you take out the traffic lights, people start to behave like active citizens again. so they are not looking at the light, but they're looking at each other and negotiating with each other how to use the intersection. ah, of course amsterdam could have turned out rather differently if they hadn't blocked us inspired city may k as like the call 1st joking and plan in the 19 sixty's of the dutch cities like we have been rolling back call centric planning good by urban highway. welcome back. original city canal. then there's hunting and it chose human centered planning in the seventy's and is
10:38 pm
now ranked is one of the happiest places in the world. we met 2 of the people responsible for keeping it that way. they can accept the center of crowning it was totally different than today. the central part of the city, a default, monica or central asquare. as was the place where a cars, the driving around when you went from the south of frauding it to the north of in the province. in the seventy's, we decided that has to stop. we choose to make a city traffic plan where our center was divided in 4 parts and where it was not possible to move from the one part who daughter with a car, only with food or bike. it was a totally new concept of thinking about, or city war, one of the 1st cities in europe to rethink that use of the city center, a concept in paris. i think it's a way we design our city already. the concept that in 50 minutes you have to reach your work, your school, you reach your center,
10:39 pm
the reach your shops. it's the way we designed the last 25 years. our city center, this example embarrass auto frauding and it's very useful for a lot of shady shaquira but also are not intentional wanting and has been come to city managers. i in good but hoist attending their attention to be out. scotland versus the bay to my back. i see, but a very functional design. there are a lot of concrete lanes for the car. there are side roads with of car parking, and our sidewalks were the logo, bicycle parking. so we see a lot of opportunities for chains. there are 2 neighborhoods which are divided by this road. so we want to bring the neighborhood together for public space. we may, there's an example for how are the surgical look like? ah, if tony made a choice to make more space in a streets for green, more space for people. so the consequences that we have less space for, gosh, and it's not always, it's easy choice because
10:40 pm
a lot of people also holding in our dependence of the car. also a lot of people like to see the car in front of their house. but what we do is ask the people, what kind of streets do you want and as a different question, then, where do you want to park your car? and then every one says one out in front of our house and i don't want to pay for it. that's what everyone who owns the car will say. we ask, what kind of cv one and a lot of people say, so we like to see a street where children can play will and our some trees are. it's nice and easy to meet your neighbor. and when you start with that question, the discussion will change. what if people in other cities were asked, what kind of streets they once that's already happening elsewhere in europe? squeezed between the mediterranean sea and the mountains. buffalo now has the highest con, density and one of the highest population densities in europe. but thanks to a clerk of 19th century planning, this iconic european city is undergoing its own special transformation. the city government wants to convert a 1000000 square meters of road surface into space,
10:41 pm
filling local people in the cities unique grid, packing dates back to 1859, and the pre call era designed by any to funds santa. this layouts is the key to barcelona. is plans, groups of individual blocks a close to to 3 traffic, but as in hunting and they remain open for local use and for commercial and emergency needs. marcello, non basically bill stairs super blocks idea on that idea of a 40 years ago. the idea that you can still allow contracted to go everywhere as long as you lower the speeds of cars and you don't allow through traffic. so much of that car traffic you will find is not necessary. and the car traffic that is necessary can still go to places where they want to be. but as soon as you do that, you start unlocking that street for the people that lived there. they suddenly realize how much space they actually reclaimed, how much space do now have to sit commute each other and how much space and freedom
10:42 pm
the children suddenly have. if there is no longer god traffic everywhere. and it also frees up the parents because no longer have to show for the children everywhere because there's much less danger around. we visited a super block near the santini market. they're actually known locally as to but he is also the island switch. seems to fit better that originate test salvatore to ada told us that the goal was to cut traffic and noise pollution without camping down on call. use a for lorna and modell. okay, more she said yeah, go leave it out. within a few info that is fuck, you know, hopefully go a bit because i'll, i'm a really that, but it will here, but i'm so long. the 14th or that got you discussed the mechanical, it's this part here is not black. ha, piano is it all right? that's a key on the car. yes, the another go to configure a battle, you know, they go to move out of, you know, they've either like i said that i'd like he is the last that it's a few of our not for them. this are ya to say, and today your loyal coil of me in your spare time,
10:43 pm
be another lender that any mentor or ended up the i'm of money for the school to dollars out of this because they're out there. if you around always from the that were ya told us, was that it, you know, full, i meant it as a little i'm in the new generation in barcelona is growing up knowing that the streets can belong to everyone. thanks to the betty bush or bite the bus every friday the children cycle to school stopped on that ridge. ah, exactly. when can i mean? yes, but out of 11, be she said billy was collections and on this cold winter's day in barcelona, most people allison about we're happy about the changes i think the grades to post say spaces out or you can hang out and people. busy like me really woke and just enjoy the speaking with phil. yes or no on to
10:44 pm
steer? good, good. ok up. it's hard to get it out. i was in company, i'm thinking that it does it loads. but if, if you're sort of somebody orders to move out of the list so that it will give you as much viva fuller persona as a lufkin history out for a year, you love it. that's good service. speedometer must be the organ on. genet. sands is barcelona. is deputy math for ecology, urban ism and mobility. she says the success of pilot projects inspired her team to think big. here normally be an get i'm of the talking about hello donald, for general dollar filled out pretty much. i'm gonna ask you, if you any language middle, brenda taylor got home late, i'm in day should end look identical, but i was the last guy years is lacking. the been almost as popular when i come in out about a whole lot. but i start open by the time i get octavius economic us, but it didn't go very much about people out there for the vehicle, but i hadn't particular done it, but i'm over know, seaford and the government is prioritizing community participation. but vocal
10:45 pm
critiques remain. monica runs, a portia garage in downtown barcelona, and mrs. the freedom to dr. benya will when his mother is it glassy on practicum and the benefits are not on lack of quality, steady or do you not let me ask? i sent a quick chat. it's a scary to any welcome kit, had bronchitis on. can us when we don't, if those rockers are lucky that didn't come up more up. yeah. they took the afternoon with allison, from the sink on the tough moustache with an opening bye nadia heads, the barcelona tourism association and isn't happy with the planning process. you know, the good luck with emma has not been out of pocket in the day. so thinking yeah, you're gonna me yeah, yeah, it has some laws, lithonian the for, but he get, get an aussie i jennifer, good allen. i laugh better. alaska must been. you go there. he's willing to federal case warner for mr. lynn by 5th amendment, in the end of candy. when you think of a thing, if you haven't got them gone bump lap, thought of the city government is convinced it has enough public banking. i just
10:46 pm
pushing on when a friend of them would let me go to school, so i'm not to lay my phone up on a thin throat and i use boilers. can you talk to me via email to us with the mic on the up master's, portable recall manual school, just want babylon. there's the cape. i love me. off hitting the spin tab less because they they went ahead and make will and go to chat and make what i'm no contaminant yet. emma was think of it. if it looks cool, just catch up with our new stuff. yes, we're still pretty young. hello. not guy. years them they're lacking to help with coaches, son, 90000 marco to promote straight seized barcelona, facing the same debates as dutch cities in the seventy's and eighty's that what we see in all these changes in general and change is that people resist and we have to take that seriously because they resist because some people will lose something. again, the example of children children have been losing their freedom for decades, but they don't have a voice for the people that will currently lose. or 1st of all, their loss will be relatively small. as we see for many examples,
10:47 pm
we still have to allocate the traffic required for people that really need it. but all the other pieces of the last sort of the freedom to go through a city with your personal private vehicle as fast as possible. yeah, you will lose that, but because of that so many others and even yourself, you will win so much as well. and we need to unlock all these people that currently don't have a voice or the silent majority that sexually losing out already for decades. paris is so inspiring for us because it shows that if you develop a new narrative, it can actually convince people. but the narrative should not be about scars versus by. it should really be about the deeper values that people have an a 15 minute city gives us this narrative. it talks about a meaningful life that is not requiring fast mobility. this means that the relation that citizens have with the streets with the city, and we did shudder, can radically change more about the 15 minutes later, 1st wind and go became mer of paris in 2014. with her pledge to make the
10:48 pm
capital more livable. parisians were ready for change after years of deadly sum. i hate. why should parents be so under threat from rising temperatures for roxanne menu of the capital climate academy? it's down to typically that he designed the heat ways or more haul in density center such as paris because of the heat island effect, which is basically the fact that in the centers the temperatures are higher than in the surrounding countryside. this effect is due to a variety of factors and a lot of them can be linked to planning and how that is evolving. and his designed in paris, especially we have very narrow traits and often high buildings. so the even res, reflect a lot on various faces and that accentuate the increasing temperature of this also means that you have less wind and we need when for cooling effect, the green areas and what is quite skiff in a bunch of things and in person,
10:49 pm
but so it adds to the sheet effect, of course she's emission child directed you to human a q 2 such as the emissions from the, from industries. so many of these causes can actually be caused by different urban planning. few people know the streets of paris better than just a slight case to broadcast his rides, live on twitch and keeps. his social media follow is up to date. with the changes i just took us on a bike, cried to see what had happened in the french capital over the last 8 years with valid through it, doug or not to read the thing like that to do if it's walking all north on when it's walk it turns when you start walking from time to do are no 0. so here we are in the beauty on you can see know, all of his place. it full lighting by before it was everywhere on dawn. but i
10:50 pm
didn't see 3 for off the expense to the place, so know it very nice place to work with . so here we are a novice tia you have to imagine before all of this place. it's thought chopped off campus here for turning all over on the play store. nobody will generally walk or leave nozik just we move on. if you can just on joyce is place fall leaves. now from here you can see we are center on this place was only full thought was
10:51 pm
a significant because on only but if you're an on site for new thanks for bringing a lot of life the idea of creating many centers within a city that are completely walkable within 15 minutes was developed by urban planner, carlos moreno to give paris escalades ecological economic and social foundation in the future. ah, the 15th, the concept is a new paradigm for living definitely in cities, we wanted to reduce that you had to be shocks. and at the same time, we wanted to bring the quality of life for developing in terms activity in proximity, we want to to promoter city base it on the federal centers say different places for ra, a leading to reduce the role of individual car. dcc new pass for having a schuman at the center of city ecology, proximity. so daddy
10:52 pm
t and the citizen important are the 4th pillars. the roof balcony city as parties is very crucial. the role of county is not same factor in the center of cities in the high dance it is own sorry for all tran or that i ever, that can see them. the public, as pacer is only for a going with my car, the role of car is an order point in particular for going for a 2040 kilometers, but not for day. very shocked on. there are other changes affect, including a make over of the shows that is a we spoke to the architect in trusted with breathing new life into the heart of the capitol. clarissa, one old european cities and like my city in the seventy's, it's a city that has been a of a one, was course. and the case of the shows it is a is an interesting example of this problem. very symbolic area impairs very famous,
10:53 pm
but he had something incredible that the parisian hate to say why is because it's an area that used to be for the past century, a place where you would, ruth will work with the children, was a nice moment. it was the most elegant avenue in parish, the local people lot, and we figure out that since 40 years, no one want to go there except tourist. the car, of course, is one of the key problem to give this face back to people and pedestrian. because all of this has been treated as a high entering paris was 2 times full. it's going up and down. and the of the pavement version south, that is very noisy. so you go this all that is it to these like bomb. it's one of the most noisy place in reducing the part of the car, getting this place accessible to people is one 1st action. of course we cannot complete bankcard unit a big debate in paris. the mayor has been planning cause from the san river is getting a lot of political conflict about that. so i think we have to be careful then being
10:54 pm
a bit scientific about that unless ideology. so that's very important. we want to be very methodological and scientific enough, fighting a probe or against car. the other aspect of so that we want to introduce is understanding better the way nature in the cities working as an ecosystem, the planets. and we can have a lot of warm spot in paris and this avenues very hot spot. so i can you use a natural element to cool down the city. but that is a simple conclusion to a more larger and more scientific study. which is to say are, can we enough to morrow the scientific knowledge of reducing our carbon footprint on hers and that's working on all the cities because that's where 85 percent of the damage are produced on 2 percent of the surface of the planet. jenny and city is not something you do overnight. this vision we propose a study in 2025. it may be going to be done to 2035 and it might sound like paris
10:55 pm
is taking the long view. but for a city that counts its aging, millennia 15 to 20 years is a very short spin of the whale. much depends on whether parisians are ready to support this revolution on their streets in barcelona as overcome early opposition to score some quick witness. but here too, the hardest work is still to come 50 years after starting to reclaim that streets. dutch cities such as amsterdam and honing, and must still work hard to put humans ahead of cars. what will other cities do about their motive? love affairs. while individual vehicles, ciocca st. pedestrian a bicycle activity will remain ran on saying, can people living in 21st century megacities expect politicians to tackle pollution and climate change to make those fit for people in the best time to reclaim our strengths was yesterday. but i think the 2nd best time is today,
10:56 pm
and it's so important because many challenges that we face as society in terms of global sustainability. but also local livability can no longer be so if we do not reclaim our streets as public spaces of places that are there to support, not only the throughput of vehicles but to support the thriving of our society. we'll leave enough where to young. i'm the dangers of green washing or traffic problems the way, if you liked this special report, check out d w ref on youtube to see more films like this. ease ah, with
