[000:00:00;00] ah, [000:00:00;00] ah, a question of them i knew that at home, i believe. i mean you flee a little boy in a border with my luck and you live muscles. if you look on the initial be one of club, not a dealer post on zillow, while videos can use to put value a new due date or change. but he also listed on the lewis offering. he did mostly, i didn't so much of that. going to thought that i'm gonna go on the billing just to submit it,

but i see the student boss who's the little gear medation says diesel tutorial, gumbo sub hi, i'm rick sanchez. and i'm here to play with you, whatever you do, do not watch my your shelf seriously. watch something that's so different. my little opinion that you won't get anywhere else. look of it please. if you have the state department, the cia weapons, bankers, multi $1000000000.00 corporations to your fax for you, go ahead by change and whatever you do. don't watch my show stay main street because i'm probably gonna make you uncomfortable. my show is called direct impact . but again, you probably don't want to watch it because it might just change dwayne thing ah, there is

a new global push to downsize. your personal property and activists are using a social justice and climate change issues to justify whether it is having a large home with a yard shows you are races or because it shows that you do not care about the environment. well, the world population be ashamed into having less. meanwhile, there's a new project in the desert of saudi arabia, hoping to create a self sustaining living and workspace for up to 9000000 residence in just 34 kilometers. i'm going to use on today's edition of 360 view. we're going to examine the pros and cons of urban development and the push for reduce living quarters to be coming soon to the open countryside in the name of climate change. let's get started. ah, this is a housing squeeze, literally and figuratively mean we are running out of land here on earth. location

and costs are making many. she's a smaller spaces. and the recent trend of minimalism helped as well. well, there's this project inside ravia, which at 1st glance looks like a movie script, but it's says it hopes to create a solution or national correspond rosanna. salon is breaking the project down, roxanna scotty, as the population booms and more and more people are leaving farms and coming into the city. we're seeing housing crisis all over the world. in mosque, new mandate saying everyone has to be back in the office is causing a stir in ireland for example. there are many unpopular decision he has made since taking over the pic giant. but this time people are of rates on twitter same. there is literally not enough housing in dublin for each employee to move into the cd and where and work from the headquarters. as i work from home, culture rose were independent, make more and more people moved out of cdc to cheaper housing in suburbs plus. now

the companies are foregoing, their leases and moving more permanently into work from home business plan. whereas seen a trend of offices spaces in cbs, like new york and d. c being renovated into apartments and condos. people are being priced out of their homes and ended up on the street. as the cost of living is skyrocketing, homelessness is a big crisis, enlarge cds across the country, leading to entire $10.00 villages, taking over the most popular tourist destination. some cities have filled their square footage of land with homes and business, so no new homes can be built. the price is now reflecting the price of the land. now the home to cope. tiny homes in japan are taking off and becoming a sign of status as meaning. my listen is becoming a trend. even making this tiny homes and ideal location this the nation for people

around the globe. i can switzerland, it's even selling tiny homes for a grand total of $75000.00 or $72000.00 euros. same downsizing and leaving in smaller spaces are firmly established strengths in switzerland. in some countries in south america, building coats are completely thrown out the window as homes are built on top of each other to try and accommodate for a growing population. when an earthquake or a fire hits this disastrous gumby detrimental to the community, some areas like china waters are moderate from trash and pollution just thrown into the water as riverside towns increase their inhabitants without the proper infrastructure. the solution in saudi arabia that the stop in e refute there for us could be in the line. imagine a traditional city and consolidating its footprint. designing to protect and enhance nature, the futuristic cd touts itself as

a sustainable solution with no roads, no cars or emissions. and he will run on 100 percent renewable energy by leveraging ai technology services, our autonomous saving you time and effort. however, at only 200 meters wide and 500 meter store people will lead a lead believing on top of each other as they plan to cram $9000000.00 people in just 34 square kilometers. the lines, communities are organized in 3 dimensions. residents have access to all their daily needs within 5 minute walk neighborhoods. the line is designed as a series of unique communities, offering a wealth of amenities, providing equitable views and immediate access to the surrounding nature. with 40 percent of the world accessible within 6 hours, at the heart of the globe's key, treat bruce

a place for commerce and communities to thrive like nothing on earth seen before. this project was created with the stamp of approval from the saudi prince. the line is also supposed to act as a tourist destination as well. so scottie, would you move to place like this where you would visit? i'm a little caused probate, so i like to have lots of space which, you know, it's interesting about this idea. i get it utopia, i get, they want to put everything together, but it just seems truly like something that is just almost a p r set right now. and i think the fact is taking so long to build, there's some questions, can we have they just named their architects to this, they're still pursuing this and saudi arabia. and if around the world seems very ambitious and it's building, in fact, they just announce this thing. called the move cob, which is a q was shape, they're going to the same be they went to the line, but they're also going to do an acute shape right there to be built in inside or it was so they've got some really great dreams. i have yet to see them come to flourishing, or says, with figures and geometry and the line, the queue, but the next on that side of what the parallelogram or any of those others. but it

would make sense if the, if you would, works, show me, show me one chance before you start building other objects that you did, where it actually works because you're actually, it's not only about building it, it's enticing people to move to these places, especially also you take into account the weather, right? saudi arabia, a very hot place. so hard. they going to run these in 100 percent. see right. mission. right. we know what energy when without trying to make people cooler and you're in the middle of a desert. so it can be so many issues. i mean, we see this idea like russia in small, in this idea of where people are like wanting to get out there, wanting to expand them where to go to countries than in asia and china. you're seeing the cities that have everybody built on top of each other. we saw how that worked with pandemic. i just don't know if there's really a need for this, right. do you live in a big house or a small house? depends on, i mean, it isn't, it's a nice one on one acre lot, which is very much, i think a luxury to a lot of people. i don't like mowing grass. so this might appeal to me. but i just don't want to be on top of each other and with my neighbors ferrying on that side

of it. well, thank your accent for absolutely reporting on this. so joining me now to discuss is v j as in an economist at the world resources institute. thank you so much for joining us. thank you for having me. so what is sustainable? urban development, you know, is it this idea of electricity pay, roads, public transport, sanitation, or is there actually more to the concept? there's a lot more to the concept that deals with 3 very important outcomes. they all concerned about one of the economic. everyone wants the job and wants to on the beach and living in a city with them. and it is there's also the social aspect that there has to be harmony in society and not too many conflicts and discrimination and things like that. and then why meant that is a physical environment which gets badly affected when cities are not land managed

properly. so sustainable development in cities has to touch on all 3. why and it cannot be with one, you know, winning or about the 2 or 2 or 3. and that's where the challenge lives. absolutely, so the world bank has actually said that by 2050 urban populations around the world will have more than doubled with 7 to 10 people actually deciding to live in cities . so how can sustainable urban development policies address that massive influx potential over crowding? and people, yes, i think that's the big challenge we have because a city of 10000000 requires infrastructure of a large magnitude. so whether it's london or in south have they have to build things so that, that is the infrastructure available for the millions are moving to the cities. now what's happening in the right now, in fact, right now, the world is 50 percent of them and is going to become 70 percent next couple of

decades. what's happening is the kinds of people moving into cities are in the very poor countries. they don't have the resources and these people are moving in without much of prospects. so getting a decent job or living the kind a lifestyle and they may see on television, especially. and if you, some of the programs from us and europe. and so it's a big challenge. absolutely. so then what are the similarities and the differences and sustainable urban development needs for cities like beijing moon by india, london, u. k. and metal in colombia? well, one thing which i think we all recognizing now is that when people move to cities, they lock more energy is used because indeed, energy for electricity, for cooking, for transportations. you know, there's also a lot of embodied energy in the buildings through cement and things like that. so all the big cities share, one thing in common, which is that they have a very big carbon footprint. which of course is very harmful to the global

environment in the long term. so that's a common element. but what is the difference between them? is that if you go back to the 3 things i said, then wideman the economy and the society part. they all nodded in a different far so i would consider this as a sort of, you know, as a, in 3 axis to find the cities all over the place. some are closer to having a balance between the economy, environment, and society. others are very mot skewed on one side or another. there might be creating a lot of jobs, but with a lot of tension. lot of people moving in and the other important difference between cities and water as part of the global knowledge. and the global sounds is that it loads out as one of the earliest because the saying a lot of people are coming into cities from rural areas in the search for better

employment, better education for their children. and so they are coming in with a huge amount of energy and use them and are willing to put up at some very bad housing and extremely falling conditions of living so that they can improve their lot. while in the more advanced countries, what's happening is that the aging process and the fact that they me is, are also now structurally changing with more of the, for industrial revolution. coming in many more people who had decent jobs or to reconsider middle income, a decent jobs with after having just on high school are finding themselves being pushed out and don't have much of a prospect of getting anything unless they still themselves. so that i really do strange job quite different from each other. and you see this and whether it's based on bio or london or whatever. they had a different parts of this. what i would call the 3 legged stool one some in some

cities, once the lego one, the one lego, the stool bigger than the other. but basically all of them have made a shoes of stability and sustainability. well, they all someone have to be somewhat equal and bounced out even very small or large else you're going to fall off that stool. you know, the growth of these urban centers. what are some of the issues faced by residents? you know, i think of the lack of affordable housing as you mentioned before, long days getting to and from work power cuts also replacing the building in the infrastructure that was already there has been decades old upgrading to handle these new demands. that technology is putting on it exactly the whole host of things. but if you look at the basic point, which is that people come to cities with the idea of improving the economic conditions. the countries, a lot of young people are coming into cities looking for jobs and looking for livelihoods better than what they will ending in the farm. now in the more one city

that's not like that, people have the parents have been in many cases the bed and have a better quality of life than the children. and so you find that social housing, for example, was quite good in many parts. so your and the 19 seventy's and eighty's are now it does create a problem with the fact that the infrastructure gets old and one wants to be attacks. that could be a huge amount of tax. if you want the sluggish and for such are all make the city really compatible. but what is it by the 21st century, the digital age? nothing is ever free and obviously raising taxes never makes anybody happy. but sometimes it's a must have. thank you. a v j as you are going out, then economists with the world resources institute for your insight. hold on, i want to continue this can get this conversation. because after the break,

we're going to talk about urban development and some of the challenges due to climate change. in coven, lou needs to come to the russian state total. never the tires on the nose landscape with eclipse in the 55 when. okay, so mine is 25 and speaking with ben in the european union, the kremlin media machine, the state on russia for date and school, our t spoke neck, even our video agency,

roughly all band on youtube said with operation aerodynamic began shortly after world war 2 and lost it almost 3 decades . it wasn't a major effort to try and split the ukraine off from the soviet union, u. s. intelligence. together with hypnos, executioners drained hundreds of saboteurs to be deployed in the soviet union. restore gast on that east of alberto. so we'll have started with this with georgia, which was in service unions. more in the us today. security service of ukraine use is not only the statistic methods,

but also the ideology of the nationalist a ah, welcome back to the 360 view, i'm scotty know hughes and i want to continue our conversation. a check and then an economist at the world resources institute, v j. you know, we were sort of talked about this in the previous segment, but i want to about climate change. and it's do you feel driving more populations from rural areas to urban centers? and 2nd, tier cities, i mean, are these populations being driven by better economic choices and urban centers, or more the effects of the i, m f and world bank policies on agriculture productions? well as you know, climate change to dimensions, mitigation dimension and adapt asian dimension. now cities are the ones which are actually leaving a lot of carbon, and that's taking place already in all the big city,

the world. any city or 1000000 is a major source of carbon emissions and global warming. the other point that you made is about climate adaptation. that is, the parts of the world become no longer useful 5 years. and so i'll be moving out what has been called push migration, for example, in many parts to the hell where that there is actually increase in their size. many people have no option but to try their luck, even through a dangerous crossing of the mediterranean to find something in europe. and that's that i would call push migration or just coming from desperation and lack of jobs and relations. but having said that, i think the primary challenge in cities all over the world is what you do to reduce the bobbin footprint that this is common everywhere. because even if you go to the border city in a developing country, that is the middle class,

the rising middle class are buying cars, will bind to realize putting in air conditioners and so on. so it's not the not, not only is that a section of the well, but that is a growing section of the class which is really big inside. you can just think of the numbers like a china closet estimates to be about 400000000 in the as the bar 150000000 indonesia has about 50000000. so you're looking at cities where a large part of the population has the purchasing power of an average european or us cities as it and, and that's creating enormous problems on the climate mitigation site. but to answer a question on prime adapt ition. these are things which are happening in some parts of the one, but it hasn't become systemic as, as yet. but there are some wanting signal. i don't know if you were following the news last year that 13rd of august,

somebody flooded and those slugs will never seen before. but it basically destroyed the entire agricultural system in many parts of southern box system. now, these are situations where we don't really have any bows to record or experience to go by. and one has to figure out how to solve the problem. climate did operation is going to be a big issue. fortunately, it hasn't come until now, but it is going to come on. we'll see it is only a silver lining is the technology also is advancing very quickly. so one of the points which many i'm making is that maybe we'll discover new is for growing drops and food and everything has to keep the rural. it has also white energy and it's so that that's a question which i don't think we have an answer to right now. but you have climate change is the very big deal and where it makes differences that make them city leaders than even the border cities have

a responsibility to do something about that. carbon footprint. what's interesting, you can talk about climate change for just a few years ago. we just heard the entire globe was hit with a pandemic. and during that time, during over 19 we saw were workers, especially a western countries, i think that was across the current across the world started working remotely. and they developed the technology to meet that 16 percent of companies globally actually are still fully remote. will this, do you think have an effect on the growth and expansion of urban development as there was somewhat of a max mass exodus. and some of these big cities to more regions where they can spread out and stretch their wings. well, that's a good point to raise about the go with ben demick, which affected every city in the world. but remember, the difference is why substantial between the border cities and what you see in the more advanced cities of blood in the water cities. a lot of people are getting that

employment through the streets, through giga economy, by going to houses and providing service to and so on. they were very badly hit during pandemic. and more than them that children the families because in most of these cases, while the housing may be falling bad in surroundings, on the lookout to make the children have a better future than themselves. and these kids suffered a lot and actually the grass in terms of learning and in those 23 years because they didn't have access to the more learning like, you know, what is available in the u. s. and you go to and so on. so it had mixed results, but i think it did point out one very important thing that the fact that you could have on signs of unpredictable events. and that when they come to hit you, it's no longer his c r foster no longer predicted the future. and i think that has some into many people and that probably is more important than anything else. it's

very interesting, i look at because in modern day is what we consider to be the slums which is inadequate housing. if those keep expanding and urban centers, and it's basically a lot of the where they had the infrastructure from a whole from before, is not being remodeled, it's not being updated as just continuing to disintegrate. is there a possibility you think the rural life will get renewed? well, and the router lives is austin better than ideal for, you know, in terms of the boys and everything we've seen in the past. but the reality of it is that if you would just take the hard economics of it, agriculture has not been as productive and giving as much of jobs and income as many of the industrial services. so whether we like it or not, people are going to move out religious and also agenda playing a role because in many of the rice growing areas, for example, the back breaking jobs were done by the women who had to transplant to rights. and

what you find in indonesia and, you know, many of the girls who had school education don't want to go and stand in the martin, you know, transplanted right. they asked the questions, why come to boys do it? so, you know, there are some gender stereotypes that changing the router lady self is evolving into something quite different. we still don't know where it's going to go. that the only issue on the road side is that we cannot afford to have a situation where the world doesn't produce enough food to feed itself to feed us from now. but that i think i'm quite optimistic that science and technology are making huge advances. and the farmers who are still there are very smart, they don't go out to adapt themselves to take the less the best. so to answer your question, i don't think that i'm going to be allowed to move out who it is, unless like what you've seen in the u. s. people can move out the smaller town because you get the same service facilities as

a big city. so if you lived in new york city and you went out to its outside that ample, upstate new york, you had the exactly the same physical comfort. and so you could have a better quality of life. it's not the same thing in africa bought to isha because the smaller towns have much less infrastructure, the electricity is bad, the water is bad. and so people doorman schooling is very bad, most of all. so people don't want to, very far from the center. so there's one of the continued growth in cities, but the, the challenges i'll do in show sustainable growth in the cities in terms of those to the legs of the stool. it's, i mention lots of pros and cons to either place. thank you so much for joining us. that was v j jag, enough and economists with the world resources institute. you know, there is a difference between someone choosing to live a minimalist lifestyle because they think it is what is best for them and their family, or one being bullied or shamed into a limited way of life. it should be

a personal preference into the type of residence. one's decides to invest their financial resources in, and one which should be made without fear. backlash from an activist. it is ludicrous to shame someone into thinking having a bigger home is a sign of racism or lack of concern for the environment. now, recently there's been a lot of fads for like common sense, but a big yard filled with trees and bushes. it's not only selfish but racist, is a whole new level of ridiculous sounds to me like another opportunity for widening the wealth and power gap by using emotions and controversial subjects all to suppress the skeptics. i would be more inclined to believe the argument if the most powerful and the richest of the world, tore down their grand estates as well as retired their private airliners to the jug charge. however, bravo to those innovators and capitalists who are working together to find a solution, even if it might seem more based on hollywood script than reality, at least for now. what good is the continued development of technology?

if we don't use it for developing options to enhance our lives and our planet, i'm scared to hughes, and there's been your 360 view of the news affecting you. thanks for watching. the news. march 20th 2003 u. s. army and allies invaded iraq. i know shaheen the say the day. let me know. kind of was it empty? out? said nevada. 07. how? oh lim dash. and a hobby made a 1st 2003 us president george bush declared victory in the iraq war. she had either project or you know, up up, up from for july i found it federal hired to

december, the 30th, 2006 and said i was saying was executed and we'll shut down from done december. the 15th 2011. a ceremony was held in baghdad to mom, the end of the u. s. military mission. in reality, the u. s. army is still in iraq. a couple of she had a still a couple people, but ah, most of ation of right of the one to pass is fundamentally racist. now, racism least the genocide, it's very straightforward. they believe that they are superior. if you think that you are superior, and that's why you are rich, why is everybody else poor? you shut out of your mind,

the idea that they are poor because you are making them by robbing them, getting to buy your course dead, smoke the rest of it, and you think no, it must be because they are inferior people. what do you do with inferior people? get rid of, get rid of a ah, as china and russia both to their strategic friendship during shooting things visit to moscow, the west sees the worst nightmare coming true neuron calls on the french authorities to stop attacking protesters who are speaking out against the pension reform iran says violence against protesters is a violation of the principles of democracy in paying
