little in the us politics is a blending for to of cultures and traditions. hello and welcome. i'm saw the got the body annual watching. the one comment to 16 are major cities across the was, is hold on the promise of new opportunities and possibilities that gravitates people to of them. but the cities have also become an epidemiology. so like diamond disobey is a episode and traveling across some of the cities to understand them back on july. the capital of some level is one of in dallas megacities, which is experiencing massive organization among other things. this means that the sitting we continue to grow, and more buildings will be built. it is estimated that by 2040 gen i will have images to 21000000 tons of carbon, just from the energy consumed by buildings during construction and office. building in a sustainable and environment and he said he, we could be one solution,

but it is also necessary to bring about a green transformation for the existing buildings in order to mitigate the negative impacts of climate change. a new design in the making. it's one an older house to make it a bit more sustainable. janae based architect unable model and drawn, transforms existing on sustainable buildings into sustainable bonds. a green consolation. the reason why we advocate green john summations is because you can do it in the building and you can actually more dislike the demolition of the buildings. again, there's a lot of pollution, right. and what do you know over this demolition based and it takes much longer for the or not say so if i read the demolition can you do this? would probably take me to us to do was is a john submission for the any. it could be as last the 6 months. the green consummation process is different for each building and depends on what's needed

this residential home into night on by brushing. you go be nothin. and her husband was transformed into a green building by an open my and her team for this house. all the lights and fence, locked and loaded into energy efficient models by what that sort of technology window sizes what increased to let an epic with natural light. and the introduction of cross ventilation means the occupants now don't have to use their ac quite so often. all this helps to save energy, the water. what we do is uh the, again, do please. all of the plumbing fixtures. the last little fixtures, right? so its uh do a slash water, placid, or adapts that have a new fluid it. so that reduces that initial water consumption and water will raise water that com. so we make sure that is treated, collected, treated,

and used inside the site defense. and the other thing that we do is the other rainwater falling on the roof, we make sure it is harvested inside the building. we don't let it don't. so it's either populated into the ground or collected into some green consummation like this one gets water consumption by at least half and reduces energy use by around 30 percent. josh nickleby, not 10. who is a doctor by profession is now full filling her dream of living in an equal friendly home 7th fingers have uh, you know, commented about my house and you know, ask me questions about it. um, i hope for an inspiration for people to be as in eco friendly manner, the ideas would be to apply the screen, draw summation process more widely. but do you know, mega city like 10 i that's not without its challenges. most notably, the cost costing uh with

a green transmission really depends on what we do. so yeah, i would say between, you know, 15 to 30 last or so at least we can get most of the, you know, this is the interesting thing done within the steps between 17 and 33000 utah is an affordable for many, but senior green building consultant critical wood to christian and sees these green transformations could still bring about 3 a change. i mean, if it is done phones and translates into reserves that this bends you, but people can see that they can see the and noisy deduction and they're both. they can see the motto, savings in their house. they can see that the friends that are mixed to their environment it's, it's a huge thing actually. currently that no policies in india stipulating that's all buildings have to be sustainable. there's no mandate on

how much electricity there's been, things have gone through and there's no mandate on how much water there's been. things are going to your mandate during the kind of materials is building should have and does it no mandate for, you know, if you have a home, you should launch so many trees. there's not single that saw it in any of the regulations in india, annuity, but a sustainable public building designed by under the could help save the weight for new standards, increasing q one and award from the indian green building concept for being the nation's most sustainable government building it's an integrated come on center for the city of to night. and on simply as the green building. it is an extension of the ship on building, which is a public heritage facility, posting the offices of the local government for the city of to night. the come on center and a greenville clay that connected with the group on building what designed by under bama and her team. the so the kind of like the,

the thing was, are all at work on blocks, which actually only brings in half them or does he does regular objects to the may be the 1st. and, and of course, that kind of pains that things that are all in on docs, a fan and all of their electric, a know fixtures at all energy efficient. and this guy will, that connects. it is full of lines and the design of this guy walk and says they are very conscious about days. the dixon, our designs jen nice that the government wants to upgrade all government buildings to meet environmental standards as soon as possible. as one of the chief engineers explains, being the environmentally sustainable. and also what you're trying to plant is the 0. well, i've been footprint. that is the main idea. and we are also trying to a,

to the existing building. also the big building and all the existing buildings to be converted to building standards the to look good. the election, it is so many building, i mean the building they leave at home. i would say 99 percent on not just the mean, john summation, not only does this one flat, but if you're able to, you know, influence. many such buildings is very, very excessive. from 10 i, let's head to everyone's favorite beat, stage of go off. but i'm like what we see on instagram and facebook and people's vacation pictures. what to has is, could i have it shows that it's trying to be with. and one of them is son. my son mining is a major threat to bio diversity under, besides settlements across several states and districts in india. it is very difficult for the government of tracking control,

and often it is handled by big sign mafias who have ensured that it is one of the most this can you show us to report on our report a conks. i have tried to track this issue ingle during the day the boards live peacefully on the shore, but at night there on the water in the dock, the men of the sand mafia illegally pump signed out of the bed. or was it a den to i do not come here anymore as i am scared of them. i came here a few times and they came off to me, hit me so i as an of a n c a. so i do not come here now. i have seen them at night. there is no way to fight the night. okay. okay. do blah blah blah. highly has been palming here for the last 40 years and the when village and not go to the showing me the place

where his farm of 7 opened a b one story. and eventually what all watched to be one by one over the last decade past that then. and then it did tell me that. and then the sand mining is started, which has caused so much destruction on this land. during summers i used a little ground back and doing monson. i would grow by them. i went on trees and copeland or trees have been damaged and has the government do? i mean nobody does anything. i don't feel like coming in this area. i taught at these come and do a should and says back and what will that thing is that the gap i don't think we will look for lives to monthly something that really gave me my livelihood back for the body that way. back and light bill, bob, omaha, leave it out of many farmers who had their small plantations and fees. so on the river, they can only watch what happens here in the night. i'm

a highly retired police officer from the village of ongoing says that another disaster could be waiting on this river. he believes that a bridge on that event that he called me collapse you too deep bates on that of a bed supporting the bridge foundation or the job. but his job for 300 meters near the relative bridge know construction. alex correctional sound is along. there is a crystal clear order stating there's a son my name will come on as a spoke clear to order his southern jo brouge. i don't know if the good to see the link in the page, but let's have gone down significantly because of logic kid, uncontrolled sign lighting. he has a southern amadi, a or t garden. it sounded like all this happens here in one of india as well. the west regions in go up hill that it is all about sun, sand,

and spirituality where torres slave to come to, especially the smallest indian state, have seen an astronomical growth in housing, hotels, and infrastructure. the demand for sand to make cement and concrete has been constantly increasing with drastic consequences for this unique landscape, which is part of india as best and cards, which are one of your nest schools. 8 hottest towards sparks of biodiversity. in the wood, the cods, perform an important function in regulating read the ad ecological patterns over the entire indian peninsula environment. let's say sand mining has affected the stretch. i biodiversity. this is a lot that happens when you extract, send to be on such neighbor limits, is going to change your mind the, the quote itself. you reveal it's going to widen the channel,

is going to damage and be up being a big price in terms of a loss of florida species. a, a change in diversity change in density, change in species composition, and that's a big, don't understand who is accountable. i went to meet was environment minister, delays copied on it. what is your assessment of these? i'm printing because timeline is taking place in your state. affliction of sand was being done all these years. who was in that goes is have come now. and that is why it is quite a bit now with a lot of activities we have been able to do, one has become more. so the next section of the more. but how, what activities cannot we stop causing this one? so there's still good smart people to be people. the big one is okay, because they're using the lesson every items because they're using all this new technology isn't really up to of new buildings. the effective effective people are

going to people who cannot afford the items. it will cost for the people to meet with the what is the construction cost when revising solving, repeat the progress and from the affordability is an argument, but there must be alternatives to buildings with sand. i went to see a new housing construction site in go up a month. tell me more about this house. how have you designed it? what's the more data you've used to? so basically all the materials, so stay off from the local area as loudly laughter. i think so i have just found an abundance in the city just then of course, in smaller quantities or the electric rubber and like bread, stone, whatever was brought from nearby or found on the site. so this, how is if you see, does not use segments, concrete, odyssey, c, as of these are the main look data for a lot of solutions. i think the solutions that i around us, but the dependency on sand will not stop unless there is

a shift in up routine construction. because vision is needed. dean, the cruise is a va loan, go on architect. he stands for environment lead responsible architecture. he pleads for the use of used materials. yeah, so this of that to back safe is basically sending, you know, customers and the, the plastic paper and pointless compressed and it's a good been solutions 89. so here's an example where you can actually use, we have some alternate materials can also be part of the solution that some of the units have, you know, move into an industrial scale like flash, for example, inside is now moving to that sort of area. so that is a movement though, but it's not fast enough and keeping and base with the sort of need for construction. he says a critical read think is needed for mass housing and construction. he points to re purposing buildings that you see most example today and obviously we can let into schools and hospitals. you can no longer pick somebody online. and so we need to be

focus building so we can actually stop. so think of recycling or unbelieving in a way and he's calling for the read think among the lines of new buildings, all the solutions require the bill for implementation. for the bible, my holly and his fellow farmers. everything depends on whether signed mining continues or not. their livelihoods and said, why will audit speak as soon as we are speaking of issues that have become synonymous with our big cities, it is typical that we also speak with migration. india has millions of internal migrant often watch because it's kind of migration is either the climate change in news, unemployment, or does also is that force people out of that. but there is an emerging new city in bangladesh, which is becoming the new home for 7, a line with like the this is held on with

this, just coastal don't long gets busy every morning. bustling with activity as it becomes a new home for many climate. my friends, the driving force behind this migration is jobs. acros that he bought the giant factories and the export processing zone have created a surgeon employment opportunities. 35 year old i came up, arvin is one of the internal my grants who left her water locked him 2 years ago. this single mother lived in quite a place only a few hours drive from law and very vulnerable to natural disasters. in 2009 psych loan, i lost it. does it ocean, caused by our la water logged us for 3 years then an embankment was spent. then we were headed by motorcycle loans. like on fun. it was very hot to live there. water

into the house. sanitation system did not for people feed food crisis, their children can go to school. that is why i moved to long love with my family. mom like the solid wisdom c port town of disaster prone bung with dish to this. so this young country faces the bronze of climate change with an increasing number of the cycles heating. it's goes to the water bank credits, at least putting begin new internally, displaced people here in the next 30 years, barb came to this town with their 15 year old child many migrants had to already overcrowded and overburdened bigger cities for jobs and veterans social security. but bobby chose longer in my village,

there were no job opportunities tends to be explored processing zone. we now have employment to your people can sustain their livelihood. and the issue of scarcity is no longer concern in long list, explode processing zone. the employment opportunity has increased tenfold in the last 10 years. currently mold in 14000 workers make textiles and other products for foreign markets here. it's not just the promise of jobs that pools people here. this township with a population of 150000 is also offering a secure environment in the face of climate challenges. cdl treaties have raised an 11th limited impact meant that stretches alone and usually constructed marian drive and to fuck contra gates. so far,

700 people have found new homes in this new housing project initiated by the government. many of them are homeless migrants but more housing is needed managed to live in, in form of houses, scott, city of safe drinking water due to sell. i need the intrusion prevention of the challenge here long. this mail shake up the 12 months, said some rainwater harvesting projects, provide water to hundreds of families. while additionally, initiatives exist, they remain insufficient on the food actually, we have to water reservoirs and 84 acres of land during periods. when the river water is not in sailing. we store water in these reservoirs long, well, throughout the year, we distribute this water to a residence. at the moment, we can meet the water needs, 2700 families. what about a camera? although the demand exceeds our current capacity,

the existing the concept is to transform long the into a climate resilient and my going friendly city to these it up taishan techniques, a local n g o brack is pioneering to promote this idea in collaborating with the government and various organizations into the body and we've been planning specialist from the end. you say that they have bigger plans for longer. it's got to speak some more bank of the parking point, the figure of 13300000 new migraines by 2050 is no laughing matter without timely attention and investment in resilience. it could lead to an alarming situation in the future and that the 11 and situation you 30 of securing funding for a project of these cables is a challenge. but the n g o is optimistic about getting support from both local and international sources. barbie and return home from her hourly shift in the factory . she's preparing food for her kid who is soon finish high school. this means this

less to listen. should my son have to walk tired just before living? i don't know that i want him to get a good education and have a better life like barbie long that becomes a new home for thousands and serves despite all challenges as a beacon for our funded up station to climate change, the where to buy a house how expensive it is, the rising rent, housing problems are every city dwellers, one inside the united nations data from a few years ago tells us that, that i'm the only 1600000000 homeless people across the was. and this number is radically increasing. often it is not just financially can seems that the people from buying the house. so he has a potential solution for those refugees who have financial support and for the residents who can afford them. a big trip for a small house,

a tiny house, it's being set up in honda, the gemini, in the backyard of an apartment building owned by them and as a whole housing association, it was reduced in estonia and cost $10000.00 euros to transport. so for 4 of them have been set up here, costing a 2000 euros each blanket on your advice. slips one of them on the 5th because i'd have to if i actually feel more comfortable in smaller space, it was. but the problem was, i'm more of a city person and until now there were no projects like this in the city. we didn't know stuff got of the washing machine is suitably tiny, with just the 2 square meters of space. every centimeter accounts, it's minimalism down to a fine art. and yet a 150 people apply to live here, daniel, vice to give a powerpoint presentation before gaining approval. housing is good in many parts of germany, in the post people on a decent income could afford single family homes like bees. but now they're in

short supply and prices that sold the comp and to move to the and his partner indiana ranges. this is provided a business opportunity. they build tiny houses when they're finished, they drive them down the old of on to customers. tiny house estates us bringing up all the gemini foods to bill. indiana range is also live in one of these communities. but for the most part, local authorities only allow tiny homes on comp sites. that's because many town councils are reluctant to recognize this new type of construction. that's a house. phone is of tiny homes. it's called to understand many of the fed up from want to be given equal rights. mental health like this would fit anywhere. what does it matter if it's on wheels or not? do we actually build them with and without we only see the why do we insist on the

strict rules that stipulate houses in the village have to have red roofs or green roofs or whatever and it's nonsense stuff. it's pretty good. tiny house is really the plus is more. many also esteem, tiny homes are more friendly, but that's only partially true. it's certainly the case. the tiny homes are often built of wood from managed forest, which is the full sustainable. and they have a smaller carbon footprint. then buildings made of countries producing just one ton of cement alone and met some and 600 kilos, a c o 2. but on the other hand, tiny homes are less energy efficient. even though only a small roommate stating that room has a composite knowledge of yours outside was where heat can escape in 2020 teen more than 1000000 refugees came to gemini. that's the increased the

pressure on the housing market fund that into is pushing up orders for the tiny homes. i would love to live in a house like that. very minimal has everything that i need and it doesn't hop on the planet. what do you like to live in such a house? do let us know. you can email us already talk to me directly on my social media. i will see you next week until then take care. good bye. know stuff. the learning curve of the digital age. why handwriting is crucial for childhood development. and how is being used in classrooms to blend duty with
