start is the we also want to just education makes the world make up your own mind. made for mines the how is housing changing? how is mobility changing? will cause really flight? oh, cities flows in the clouds or even in space. there's no shortage of inspiring exciting visions of stacy's of this key. but the reality is, sobering traffic calles climate change. many cities today are in crisis. we need solutions. the

transportation issues are nothing new. if you think of just the modes of transportation throughout history, this going from um you know, horse and buggy to rail to ocean going betsel, steam liners, air ships. so there's always been something new to try out that would solve some of the problems of the old and each one of those new this thing says introduce to turn a new problems today is transportation mix is no exception. the biggest problem is that roughly a quarter of global energy related carbon emissions are linked to transport. but that's just one of many. many people have the experience of being stuck in traffic, and of course people don't like that. and there's also the high cost of kind of owning a vehicle if you have to do that in order to get around the and unfortunately,

you know, in many places, transit services are not always the most accessible. the most efficient, even the most affordable traffic jams are so universally hated that there's a bunch of jokes and moves, little wonder that tech trains jumped onto the transit bandwagon. big tech has reshape the economy and flashy hype field presentation no matter what their substance were. key and so instead of kind of really mundane things like invest in bosses and uh, you know, think about how we distribute street space and maybe make some cycle lanes. it sounds a lot more attractive this day. all the cars are going to start driving themselves and we're going to make this new tunnel system for transportation and we're going to have flying cars. finally, investors and media, laptop, high tech, exciting, new transit projects. and the company you saw potential to people spend loads on transit in the us. for instance, 16 percent of household spending goes to transportation,

2nd only to housing. and while investors currently only have promises not results to go on, it hasn't stopped them. for example, you learn most of the boring company name, not because they bore tunnels, get it, picked up $675000000.00 in private capital in 2022. local governments have also jumped on board. musk announce deals promising to build underground tunnels for high speed travel in chicago and fort lauderdale in 2018. in 2021. neither have been built so the high train is rolling. the venture capital is blowing. everything is fine and dandy to a tech companies have to deliver on their spectacular promises. one of the most glaring examples of hyperlinks, a high speed above ground vacuum to popularized by musk in 2013 and pursued by a number of firms billionaire richard branson, the owner of virgin also got in on the fund. in 2017 and surgeon hyper lupe

announced plans to build overground vacuum tubes that would hurdle people at 670 miles an hour across the us india in the middle east. but the closest these came to materializing was a single crude test in 2020, which reached about 100 miles an hour. far less than promised. costs were nearly 10 times higher and the test drive transported just to passengers instead of the promise 28 and deterred by the failure of his aboveground travel project bus optic to go underground with his boring company. first, the pledge to dig elaborate systems of tunnels under cities were autonomously dripping pods. with 16 passengers would sit around with ease. that became a pledge to develop a system of so called skates, which would sweep electric cars across town at speeds of up to 130 miles an hour, which became a one way tunnel. the drug test was through at about 40 miles an hour called the lute, which at least exist, you sold the system to

a bunch of cities around the united states. and in most cases, they have not materialized. and then the only place where it, where it has, which is las vegas, it's a short tunnel that connects up the convention center. and it's mainly just in a, in attraction for tesla's, you know, it's a way to sell teslas. it's not really affecting traffic, it's not really solving transportation problems. it's really, i call it a disney land ride for tesla fed. western billing areas aren't the only ones with tech. that sounds more impressive than it looks. china is autonomous, real rapid transit. that's gotten heights for being a cheaper alternative to standard trends and it has been tested and could tar and australia. it's a quote unquote track let's prem system that traverses roads and has a driver despite being called autonomy. that's right. pretty much a bus looks kind of cool, but not a transit revolution. if it feels like we're seeing a pattern here, it's because lots of these could be defined as can just bonds. the transit term for

an exciting new technology that's actually less useful than what it's meant to replace. and then there is the holy grail of sy fy flying cars. some companies like jo be, are working on what they call electric vertical takeoff and landing cubicles. we're flying taxes. even the biggest luddites have to admit that these are cool, though they look more like fancy helicopters and flying cars. toby hopes to launch these fully electric vehicles in 2025. they should have a range of 150 miles per job expects the average trip to be around $25.00, meaning flying taxis would compliments not replace existing transport networks if and when these tech solutions materialize, they often bring with them their own set of regulatory costs and safety challenges or failed to solve some of the biggest transitive. so ideally, mass transit should serve the masses. that means recognizing it as a public good,

something flashy private innovation distracts from. if we wanted to do it, we could have been making investments in transit service and investments in psych, plenty of the structure and doing, you know, other things in order to address these issues. instead of waiting for the tech industry to create solutions that were never actually going to solve anything in the 1st place, practical transit solutions that encourage people to ditch private cars are often a bit boring. while the electric buses popping up all over the world are cool, there know, flying cars and transit researchers might be the only people on the planet who think the bikes or sex. i have one right here in the background. that's how i get the toward the they're pretty under stated, they're easy to maintain low cost. they enable quicker and longer bike trips without the cost of showing up sway or tired likes and busses are great local transit solutions. but what makes them really

shine is dedicated lanes like bogota as bus express ways for amsterdam. so expensive network of bike paths. and there's always room for innovation. like in many eine where cable cars help traverse densely built steep terrain. so it will take much more than flashing animations to solve our traffic problem. let alone curb transits, climate impact, deep billions and venture capital in cheap super tension. these tech solutions garner would probably be better invested in truly boring, but more efficient, real solutions. the, the, all 3 and capital vienna is creating a completely new district. the shot spun is being constructed on a former air field on the outskirts of town. 27000 people are to live here. one day . it's a testing ground for sustainable housing and living. the subway was built long

before the 1st house was erected. it only takes 15 minutes to get from the center of the capital to vienna's newest district. it's meant to be car free, so bikes can be rented everywhere, free of charge. and 7 very important aspect was the connection to public transport right from the beginning, the 1st step was excavating the late, and then the subway was built. the idea was that people knew from the stop, they could travel here using public transport instead of it 1st taking that call and then having to rely on that behavior and getting used to taking the subway. i figured only on the construction of the dish that aspen is being supported by several research teams. magdalena doable. i'm i and slowly and cooling out are investigating in a mobile lab how the residents as they should travel. they get the data from an app, which i also download directly onto my cell phone. for the next few days, it will automatically record for all the roots that my camera team and i take plus

info about the means of transport used and our c o 2 consumption. the young researchers also go from house to house to distribute questionnaires. we need to know what the status quo is, n monitored continuously because there are changes in individual behavior and civil tenuously. fish that spun is changing as well. so it's still under construction. i know it's one that built. so there's still a potential for the district to use new info for the next construction phase for the mix up the mobile lab shares, it's data with anyone who's interested companies, city planners, and the residents themselves. the data is especially important for the planning phase. the new district is meant to learn from its mistakes. to begin with is to look ahead to 1st, it was tolerated that you park your car in front of the door just in order to make

your move easier. but that behavior quickly became established and turned into a habit and what it was later penalized there was a big fuss, although it was never plant that parking would be allowed. they're just like get pocketed. so one of the things we've learned is to work with the development company to make sure that these things are taken into account in the newly built areas. billing, 60 of all over as each dead. as found. there are multi story parking houses which are very well camouflage, but they're never closer than the next public transport stop. so that it's not more attractive to take the car. my camera team and i are on board. we load 70 kilos of equipment into a cargo bike coat. homestead isn't the only one of the planners as the start us man. he's also one of the longest residents your hospital has completed his next 1st glance. it's nothing special leading to all the initial development is pretty much just concrete construction with a few exceptions,

was not how it goes. but the sustainable aspect is it all comes from the lake and developed the lake didn't exist, it was excavated over the over tilted and the environmental impact statement. and it was stipulated that everyone driving in here was over a certain number of trucks a day would have to pay a tall. and then so that made the concrete so expensive homes that it was cheaper to produce it on the site because it's what the plants we built here and then on. and then they told me that the so the 1st phase of they started aspen was virtually born out of the lake. one comes on, the artificial lake is the center of the neighborhood. the whole district is built slightly sloping towards it so that all the rainwater collect stare in addition is fed by the ground water flow of the danube river. the star spun is home to some unique examples of sustainable architecture. at 24 stories and 84 meters high. the ho ho is the world's 2nd tallest wooden skyscraper. and office building is under

construction here that doesn't need central heating or air conditioning. extremely sick brick walls make it possible. the else composite, but not in the 1st phase sustainability. it was not the big issue built on residential development, was the main concern. and we didn't even realize that was a key to says stain ability and also still us. we have some things that turned out to be the case when the 1st thing started to work, we thought, wow, that worked. now we can take it a step further. goals to then came social change when suddenly in society and in politics, the doors were opening. it too early on we argued about things like planting big trees and ended up planning small ones. now it's common practice that these don't is built on spongy ground under the trees and plants that there's a layer of gravel, 80 centimeters that the gaps are filled with, the substrate of sand, compost, and bio chart which serves to functions. it can store water and also release

nutrients with many residents, find the gravel beds around the young trees to drop various initiatives are trying to make them more attractive, but it's not all that easy. the most of us about to mean i'm home to applied the city of vienna for the tenant in order to plant vegetation. and then you have to prove that you will take home this responsibility on that. you will take care of it regularly. so they, so they may say, stab him too much such a permit can take up to 3 months for large scale projects, like the communal garden of heidi mac was gartner's association. you need even more patients with the joy of being able to harvest fruit and vegetables makes up for the toil. oh, what an abundant nature blocked. well.

yeah. and they have different, fabulous name that cooled off, but the, i'm calling you told me this. that's what gets grown and when in the 1000 square meters of garden is a collective decision, vegetable gardens, sustainable architecture, good, public transport, access, none of this comes cheap. another core principle of the study is social diversity. the sale of real estate within the project to private investors, health funds, social housing, and public developments. here, sustainability also makes economic sense. vast amounts of data are collected to ensure an optimized energy supply. europe's largest ever energy research project which employs over 200 people is underway ins. h dot s pan. sensors are installed all over the district. they record in real time,

how much energy each building consumes and how much it produces. as i cannot do this, a particular building is almost not 0 use is just a little more electricity then it produces as well to see if i'm talk next door is an energy plus building. it produces more electricity, then it consumes. it's like a suspended. so say i'm going to go one step further, take a building that requires a lot of cool but, and yet it will also have a lot of waste heat. how does that warm energy is released into the atmosphere and that's problematic for the surrounding city. it's more efficient and intelligent to make the waste heat available to the neighboring building. i met enough puckett by the badge that identifying and solving problems together. the stuff is all about community. that's the message i keep hearing. we're on our way to vienna's newest mind about or municipal building a social housing concept dating back to the 19 twenty's kind of hard to know seen

on think you can still read on the buildings that they were financed from the revenues of the residential construction tax that was a tax on luxury goods, automobiles service, personnel, entertainment such as opera and theater and so long ago. so i got the, i think the oldest was tags done. the funds were used to finance the municipal building projects organ. uh, do you mind developing it and see if the tax no longer exists? but while other cities in europe are struggling with far willing rents and real estate, speculation over half of vienna's housing market is city owned. 4000 new subsidize homes are in the pipeline. the city already owns 220000 apartments. like these 25 percent of vienna's residents live in municipal housing. idle high. are you coming down or com? yeah. but the great things as well as just some estimate, 5 off when i 1st came here, it felt very syfy and utopian from top to bottom. i expected to see flying calm and

such things for food is different. if these times what i think is great is that the neighborhood management that they organize lots of projects for the vase that residents and it makes you feel very at home isn't explaining sometimes is the start as utopian as it seems. is this green urban development project community living? it's best. the last stop on my visit to vienna is an intergenerational apartment block. the apartments are small, but they're also communal spaces and a roof garden. and here to a strong sense of community. not how long is this within sustainable living? because we borrow things from each other and be able ask for instance, hey, can i bar u i n 2 and i just have my grandson visiting this. and so i needed a called a baby rocha and

a hi to help us. i'm son. i was able to borrow everything. so that was great. yeah, i can easily get both women move to the start. i spend from much bigger apartments in the inner city. i move neither have ever regretted. scroll safari date is the miles of how many sports grounds that all under and around the train tracks the sewage. what does it say? and that always in use p as throughout the day just until late in the evening. speed them on. there's always lost a. there's always something happened now. do you see the vehicle? it was vibrant, makes me happy, been dicking me? said for me, for all the buildings in the 1st construction phase had been state subsidized, which is why so many young families live here. the next development phase will see the construction of private leave finance departments. lots interest houses they shed at aspen is a work in progress and learning,

evolving and flourishing the dynamic economy and a rapidly expanding consumer market. india is an emerging global powerhouse, many highly skilled young indians who moved abroad, returning home to be part of the other guys all very good morning. uh, welcome to our design screen, a team meeting at highlight mobility, a startup headquartered in hyderabad, south india, home to almost 7000000 people. c e o is 29 year old, so we can't ready. he studied in italy and spain, but after gaining a doctorate chose to return to india. i haven't been in the creative job, in fact, like it's a, it's a high being job that i can be happy to set it on there. but what will drive me

here to move is that the impact that i can create, but the experience that i have and the bigger problem that it gets on the company's fleet of over 2500 electric vehicles are rented out to customers, neighborhoods of money such as deliver for a people 3 years ago, ready chose to launch his business in india because he was confident there was a huge demand for electric mobility solutions. whenever you're dealing with 1400000 population here and that population needs the different types of solutions and that's the benefit anyone would get on top of it. and the young generation that the india has. and that is what is going to drive the whole and make the simple one of the superpowers i get. the indian economy is currently seeing unparalleled growth. it said to overtake germany and japan, within the next 4 years, the startups must rooming across the country, prove that this is boom, time for india. when we started in new york 2020 november,

we started mid to late because right on that same year we can scale it up to 20. and then you know, in the next 5 years with a 10200 because from data we scale the journey, 2000 our numbers, we picked up our 1st round of investment last year with the investment. be good for them to put sometimes the vehicles based ride sharing company has already raised $1000000.00 in funding and ready now overseas a team of 80 people. many of them originally come from small towns and villages such as mechanics, ravonne, coma. it goes to most of what if i'm learning a lot in my village, i always used to just being given orders, but here everything is explained. there's opportunity to develop and i've already been taught so much that would never have happened in my village. there's a world of difference between the city and where i grew up because he wants to show his boss where he comes from up there on a visit to. so you to a poor, a small town with a population of 4000 outside height or about originally drive on had wanted to

leave his family on his home. but he knew his prospect would be better in the city and the one ready to go. so before i went to hyderabad to become a mechanic, i wanted to start up my own business here in my hometown, kind of, you know, not, i wanted to open a small garage, but it wasn't possible. and no one took me seriously. they quibbled over everything . was completely demoralized, i know where to go tomorrow is that of miles the believe. and the rapid technological progress underway in the cities has passed by much of rural india. the crew morris live from farming making around $150.00 euro is a month for evans. mother says that politicians aren't interested in the plight of towns and villages like site up port st. louis, i'm not in here ever changes. everything is the way it's always being the government promised that things would improve button, nothing happened. even people with an education comp find work that pays a decent wage. and that's why my son moved to the city and visit i. this is not

a world that ready is familiar with, but 2 thirds of india's population of over a 1000000000 live in rural areas. and there's growing awareness that they need more opportunities. it can be moving to the cities working that improving their lifestyle or whatever it can be and to achieve the dreams that they have in their head sites. so i would say that is still a lot of god that needs to be full for. so that's where the t hubs center in hyderabad comes in. it's a project financed by the state that advises and supports start ups like readies from day one. hello sir. good morning. how are you all good, so thanks a lot. anthony. a nice t hubs. chief operations officer welcomes young entrepreneurs interest in rule india. going to get moving out there. so if anybody is moving out there or so there are start, that's what i actually solving for real problems for non metro problems. but i had

3 diets or send me a book video been problems. right. so, um, i think yes, there are lot of started withholding for those problems as well. and the taking the solutions out into the mazda of here in hyderabad, groundbreaking, new technology such as artificial intelligence is welcomed. while there are currently just over 300 start ups working in the innovation center, this number is set to rise to more than 20000 in the next 5 years. entrepreneur is like ready predict that india will soon be an economic superpower. it's not too far to get the, i don't seem to go to by layoff in just died for heights about on even better tact or to have a unique liquid medicine for us as and then comparing to anyone else. and i divide these in that range and in the a will be in that place, may have, you know, it's going to be a center point of innovation. india is population and economy are growing. and so is the confidence of its vast population
