a lot of crime. it's probably up to speed. if the carrier is subscribe to the as every friday, subscribe to plan, it's a the best to live in columbia, to book at times to comp, traffic, sustainability, agriculture, and harmony with nature. the housing crisis orifices the solution. the many cities around the world have one thing in common. housing shortages, billions of people locked out the cut housing. meanwhile, which were might work on the rise, a large portion of so space is sitting empty. so why not combat those offices into

apartments? while many of us are now back in the office, working from home is here to stay. for instance, 35 percent of us workers who can work from home still do. but vacant workspaces aren't a new problem. long before the pandemic, aging offices were already becoming less desirable because it's been in for about the last 10 years and trends that we called flight to quality. stephen painter, an architect, one of the world's biggest firms, focuses on adaptive reuse. people when renewing a lease is in the buildings of guidance and the new laws that will be built because they offer that kind of amenities kind of locations, people and all these empty officers aren't just a waste of space. they mean less of rent for owners, lower tax revenue, and the decline of entire neighborhoods. we have beautiful buildings. we have a wonderful plaza as we have sort of all of the physical assets. we just have

vacant buildings. and so you don't see that vibrancy used to, you know, kind of look down these key car doors, and you would see just streams of people coming down the street. and you don't see that as much anymore. movies and movie is a planner in san francisco. another city addressing high vacancy levels, almost 95 percent of our tax revenue comes from a business tax from downtown about 80 percent of our g. d. p came from from downtown companies in 2021. it is our economic engine, and so it needs to drive so the city can thrive roughly a 3rd of offices are vacant in the city. it's 3rd most expensive housing market in the us. at the same time, the construction of new housing is causing a whole different host of problems. construction accounts for 13 percent of global energy related carbon emissions within 5 times that of the ation industry in order to meet climate targets,

but also other sustainability targets. we will need to actually stick with what's already built for him. i had part research as urban sustainability at stock homes, royal institute of technology. even if this new production of housing and buildings is done with very energy efficient and an optimized technologies. this won't be enough, we will also need to reduce the total amount of new production. and this is what brings us to frankfurt. here, an office tower built in the 19 ninety's will soon be reborn, is around 150 furnished apartments. can you mean as the developers regional european head believes it's the way forward, the data for the environmental factors obvious since the building show is already standing and i'm the show alone. usually accounts for about 50 percent of emissions during construction to, to

a fairly significant portion of the time. but it doesn't only save on emissions. revamping and office building can be up to 30 percent cheaper and construction can be done in half the time, but it varies. this one wasn't much cheaper than a new bill, but faster. so fed up side, i think the time factor is really critical. it allows us to start generating rental income from the property pretty quickly. re purposing an old building to serve a new function. it's called adaptive reuse and can extend to structures life. think of turning old factories into artist slots or warehouses into ubiquitous st food calls. for retrofitting and existing structure is a lot more complicated than planning. every thing from scratch, as developers have found out, apartments and offices part always a $1.00 to $1.00 fit depends on when and where they were built. modern open plan offices weren't built for living in 1st you have to divide up large areas while

ensuring rooms get enough sunlight and you can't just have one big bathroom for a whole for each room needs ventilation, heating and power to and for all you know, the old building is full of asbestos, stephen painter, the adaptive reuse specialist as even developed an algorithm to measure whether offices or good candidates to be reincarnated as health. this means to end up with shiny new apartments. many conversions essentially rebuild everything except existing foundations and facades. these constrains make many office is just too much work to convert. according to painters research. roughly 30 percent of offices are ideal candidates. if you look at the u. s. market where we're doing a lot of this look is about a 100000000 square feet of office space. and if you come by just the vacancy of about 70 percent of that you can create between 6 and 7000000 new homes. but just

turning offices into apartments isn't going to be enough neighborhoods that are just office blocks can be a bit inhospitable, crawling with finance bros. by day morphing into ghost towns outside of business hours, ensuring people live not just to work. there could change that. like in this district of frankfurt once build just with offices? no, it's residential facility, and they would have been interesting to be there on a saturday afternoon, you'd be totally alone. all of the infrastructure was unnecessary. the trim was still running, even though it was empty. frankfurt rezoning, the area turning parking lots in the green spaces and kendra gardens more apartments and shops are under construction. in the end there will be 6 sell and departments here other than the other stuff. so i'm gonna leave now that the areas livelier. the officers have actually become more attractive so it's easier to rent them out. he's on the firestick meetings his best on the canadian city of calgary, which started working with painter to revitalize its downtown in 2021 is

a case in point. calgary had about 38 percent pregnancy in their office market and i was assigned one of the worst in the world and a very quickly actually for our program together. which gives you $75000.00 square foot to conduct the building and move forward with the red tape out of the way to make these projects move more quickly. and the 1st 5 projects and now under construction, represents balance $750.00 new homes. and they have 10 more, pretty much of this housing will be affordable and built with families in mind. however, adaptive reuse often has even more red tape then new builds painter says that will have to change the turns around as an example. there's a room in the downtown, you cannot bring to your office space. it's protected as an appointment that was created in the seventy's and they just never got it because it, there was no need to change it. and now there's

a desperate need to change and it's kind of holding up. these products happening. such arbitrary regulations are quite common and approval for conversions often takes as long as it would for a new build. even though the structures already in place. according to recent studies, cities all over the map have lots of office space that they can potentially convert . frank, forget it with careful city planning. and the more that's learned, implementing such projects, the greater the savings, many property developers have already expressed. an interest said he's like san francisco in calgary already support this very promising approach. the, the,

the needs of paradigm shift in the way we are living with separate from nature. so not having planned it findings told me the guy i grew up in bombay school in the college in the us or as a consent into the last the work i did was a analyzing toxic emissions into a waterland. and my direct drawer was to analyze the data. when you look at so much data it's, it's a big daunting also because then, you know, the question is, where do i as an individual or family,

can i make that change? that's when i come back to the, to the phone because we've always had this phones since speaking young king with knowing too much. and i wanted to get people everybody, what i knew. but nobody went to the same by 2 because i am, i was in on king which strong city background. i didn't speak the language didn't have the speech of for from a woman in a beach. yeah. good society over my time, my community saw that i'm not going any list. so they started to now pay attention to what i have to see the i think what it needs right now is being harmonious with nature, not speaking. then you need the modified practices,

the student going to small short is like using the photos to have that teacher to mimic that environment to, to extra agree that this when both meet your needs and this human intervention. and that's something that the hottest once a week, me, i'm just fresh, produce those to sundown so that it's as fresh as possible. the package and leaves as best as possible. and load it up into the launch of bank. and then transport it early morning via 1st bus and then train people from the bible starting to become a waiter for not waste for the waste of the, from me, nor destroy no from kukes and then cubes and gives it locked and very often produces and not able to get that lot and consume why that lot just in the life

we need to start resolving food and extending the life of the food. but that for preservation also allowed for another source of income. the so much conversation about the, the wood and climate change and the, the experience be as farm i see quite directly how things are changing with nature . and also that is a good. i need a few for us to read, to find how we live our life, the wanting to share knowledge with. try the thoughts better as of tomorrow, has made us to what we host now. it's called the funds for the 1st one and the goal is to strategic then

agriculture. so that 50 years from now and there's so much change in climate they don't have to do with learning to skip the whole over the us create a curriculum, bring it into schools. it's definitely started with the right intention. the so the house on workforce is a, we mean off i'm in and it's something that's i find very unique to the city as to this farm except it was really nice heavy to see them and they can fit to the table invoice. they thoughts and over the years, activity instructor voice much more than the it'd be wednesday that we

may not invite you to fall and we share space and just talk about everything. and what i've seen that's done is communities. the women will work on this and it's you need the most solidified in themselves. it's giving them a voice in a village that they're financially secure. on the 2nd ok, bank account and sequence savings gets changed. their own nature in the homestead. no longer just in the one making the best times during the cooking during the total that they are responsible, even financially the, the good wish separate from nature the i had to see advice, someone i would save, try to find that because it's, it's that it's,

it's within all of us, the housing you cause a dream for many people around the world. but what happens when that dream comes true? cause local streets via and create noise and every yeah, around $18000000.00 more were built. that's a huge part of myself, a columbia, as capital book, a tall people have had enough welcome to to go to the capital of columbia and the metropolis with some of the worst traffic in the world . the new innovative concepts to change that in the sense that he pay neighborhood the pilot project barrios. b tyler's which means live. the neighborhood was tested on the 38 hector area and financed by the

city. the world's bank was an advisor for the project. come really, how do you like it here? what you are level for i like it is very quiet is peaceful when you woke about there's no noise. we really without much noise without much pollution because it is really quiet and peaceful on the street. and we look at the new la castiano as an engineer and javier guerra is an architect. both are part of an urban planning project that began in 2022. it was inspired by their super blocks in barcelona and the low traffic districts in london. at 1st it was tested on 8 city blocks in, but good time. since then, they've added 3 more neighborhoods. stephanie found the sole de burials vitalia is project was introduced and essentially pay that was traffic in old directions. the vehicles used it as a short cut because bobo, to have the traffic app,

would guide them around the neighborhood to avoid traffic jams. in other areas. we definitely have more traffic in the past. not today. you hardly see any cars here, but the streets have not been close to traffic. the direction of traffic has been changed so that the neighborhood is turned into a kind of may use, making it difficult for drivers to get from one side to the other. out in a battery, we started it on the new road layout, and the loops allow us to distribute through traffic across bigger street instead of equal a c. and that prevents drivers from using san felipe a is a short cut? yes. yes. here you gotta keep us in port, keep go on, somebody pick them on. one bottle really at the local top is considered one of the worst cities for traffic in the world, a rotating driving. then based on the last digit of a cars license plate,

has hardly convinced citizens to leave their cars at home and switch to public transport the out of respect for others. please get back in line. some of the reasons may be that the transfer you then your bus system is overcrowded on seats and expensive 2 decades ago. city officials, so exclusive bus lanes would be a better, cheaper alternative to building a subway. but in the end, the system didn't work. and bobo town with its 8000000 inhabitants, and more than 2 and a half 1000000 vehicles is still waiting for a subway to the fact that there was a green oasis here in the middle of all this traffic is rather unusual. but it's the result of long term planning to transform the neighborhood at the center of the city. i said job. that's why i don't know that the look at how i live it is

a visa suspect. it keeps getting bigger. it's not just about this axis. you can see that the shops on the cross streets have also sets out the tables outside to see the tables look very nice and give everything here more color and more life coding must be an incentive into the areas were designed by the residents themselves. for the benefit of pedestrians with painted flower pots and bicycle racks on the streets. they're all measures that are cost effective, simple and quick to implement things i'm going to open up when yeah, we worked with the community from the beginning. i mean, they told us the problem what mobility was like in the neighborhood. i mean, yeah. a yeah. but then we made this design and tested out in a few pilot projects in columbus when we implemented it here, that was a bit of fear and it community in front of it, especially among businesses, younger for kids. they felt that people wouldn't come into the neighborhood and

even though i have, which would lead to less income was committed to see our non profit category quoted us. the adult is located. on the contrary, this change has helped us on this seems to be more of a residential area. now, it's used more commercially. the houses have been converted into galleries, which also helped a lot for valid. yes. yes with them in the forward isn't leather, inform us as the change has been try again to can such a short time, a business has increased to the art scene has grown. the whole district has developed very quickly for the benefit of the community more, more, more, more, more, more, more videos, a buyer. and if you sure thought everyone knows that the was the president's can go for walks more easily. right? the yellow is kind of the cars now drive slower and we can walk around and enjoy the neighborhood more than most of bobby must come all year to date, angela is driving to both the port of any in another book, which on neighborhood where work is underway, on a 2nd tomato project. to interview me. yeah. let me save

that here. how did it go? what happened to you for the good? sorry, i'm a little late. i was in the trends millennial and it took me awhile to get to bed. here we all. i wanted to ask you how everything is going oh, the most affordable need is in both the proven. yeah. is an important neighborhood for children. we have full schools, we have a kindergarten, the districts, university done. everything is very close. you don't have to get phone me when now improving accessibility in the neighborhood. and so i buy buying opinion basically, you know, the red yellow get ready and green. and i wanted to see how the children of the groups were doing with our activities. this whole has

a lot to do with sustainable mobility and traffic safety. the idea is that the children stuff in gauging with these top outside the very early age and take them home with so that they can be rolling on less than that. parents became part of the patio speech. are these project seems to transform additional city neighborhoods and gradually create a different sustainable boca time. the island level kenya is combining a passion for ox. was careful how environments collecting discarded, flip flops is the 1st step to process. she has invented to turn plastic pollution into something useful. uganda like many places around the world is listed with hundreds of thousands of classic flip flops. this one, this farmer pulls out of his field is about to be given a new creative purpose. newman, there was some surprise,

this girl collection. we see her guessing our beautiful things will die, so never can. he attends the flip flops into paint, which he uses to make works of art and other objects for the office. it's a way of coping with the mess. people have been making of the world around them. and besides the saving of that environment. um we are promoting that cultural recycling, you know, country. so this would be, could be something very interesting if either of these can actually come on and try it out. as her flip flop collection point never can year begins to reclaim the original bright colors that's entice people to buy the food with in the 1st place. scrubbing the flip flops, why has and leaving them in the sun to dry is a laborious job, but it's crucial for her project. transforming them into art materials. back in the

instead of binding and, and on and filling them my way back to that, she turns them into life. never kenya hopes that how aust can raise awareness of all effects a nature and change people's attitudes towards per adults that we no longer have a useful to, to save nature. people have mismanaged with a lot, and we're here to tell them that this can be interested around and after the functionality that they actually know about, they can maybe do something else on these. this is an ending life on ending life. besides her paintings, allen, the 10 year also designs and adult inspection items, the uganda and all to this new kid apps more useful her recycled pain with so many
