there is a new global push to downsize your personal property and acting as you're using a social justice in 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's 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 work space for up to 9000000 residents in just 34 kilometers. i'm going to use on today's edition of the 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 and 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 smaller spaces. and the recent trend of minimalism helped as well. well, there's this project in saudi arabia, 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 a 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, same 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 take giant. but this time people are of great 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 cds in to cheaper housing in suburbs plus. now the companies are foregoing, their leases and moving more permanently into work from home business plan. we're seeing 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 seed is 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 not 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 key in switzerland is 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 $200.00 metres, white 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. 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 or you would visit? i'm a little claustrophobic, 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 stuff right now, and i think the fact is taking so long to build, there are some questions, can we have they just named their architects to this, they're still pursuing this and saudi arabia on it for around the world. she's very ambitious and it's building, in fact, they just announce this thing called the mu cobb, which is a q was shape, they're going to the same day. 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 if you take into account the weather, right, how many rabies have very hot play so hard? they going to run these and 100 percent? see right. mission. right? you know what energy would 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? i really depends on, i mean, it isn't, it's a nice house, but one on one acre lot, which isn't 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 didn't want to be on top of each other and with my neighbors ferrying on that side of it. well, thank you for absolutely reporting on this. so joining me now to discuss v. j shaggy nathan, an economist at the world resources institute. thank you so much for joining us. thank you for having the so what is sustainable urban development, you know, is it this idea of electricity paved roads, public transport and sanitation? or is there actually more to the concept? there's a lot more to the concept because it deals with 3 very important outcomes. they all concerned about. one is they cannot make everyone wants the job and wants to decent 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 without 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 this 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 in the next step

decades. what's happening is the kinds of people moving into cities are in the very poor countries. they don't have the sources at these people are moving in without much of prospects of 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 than 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 room by india, london, u. k. and metal in colombia? well, one thing which i think we are recognizing now is that when people move to cities, they a lot 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 weidman the economy and the society part. they all nodded in a different part. so i would consider this as a sort of, you know, as a, in 3 access 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 love them out as one of the because the saying a lot of people are coming into cities from rural areas in the search, well,

better employment, better education for their children. and so they are coming in with a huge amount of energy and soon as them and are willing to put up at some very bad housing and extremely a 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 as 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 in 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 major issues of stability and sustainability. well they all someone had to be somewhat equal and bounced out, even if it's small or large or 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 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 and let's see, the 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 morning, 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 wide good in many parts. so you are and the 19 seventy's and eighty's. 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 these for vision for such or 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 going out. then economists of the world resources institute for your insight. hold on. i want to continue this call to get this conversation. because after the break,

we're talk about urban development and some of the challenges due to climate change . in coven huh? ah, ah, ah, the chinese president's visit to russia is historic, for a number of reasons. first to accent, the growing russia, china strategic partnership, and 2nd,

to demonstrate what both countries publicly advocated the transition to a multi polar world beyond american hegemony. thank hi i'm rick sanchez and i'm here to play with you. whatever you do, you do not watch my new show. seriously. why watch something that's so different. my little opinion that you won't get anywhere else work of it please. if you have the state department, the cia weapons, bankers, multi $1000000000.00 corporations, choose your facts for you. go ahead by change and whatever you do. don't watch my show, stay mainstream 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 the way. mm thing . ah, welcome back to the 360 view i'm getting. oh hughes. i want to continue our

conversation with v j showing up in 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, there's mitigation dimension and adapt patient dimension. now cities are the ones which are actually the leasing a lot of carbon, and that's taking place already in all the big city, the world, any city or one min. busy is a major source of carbon emissions and global warming. the other point that you made to the bar climate adaptation that is, if parts of the world become no longer useful 5 years,

also i'll be moving out what is being 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, which is coming from desperation and lack of jobs and related. 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 arising, middle class or buying cars will bind to wheelers putting in their 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 very big inside. you can just think of the numbers like a china middle class estimates to be about 400000000 in the as the bar 150000000

needs as about 50000000. so you're looking at cities where a large part of the population has the purchasing power, most an average european or us cities as it and, and that's creating enormous problems on the climate mitigation site. but to answer the question on time adapt ation. these are things which are happening in some parts of the world, 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 sound bars 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 light energy and it's so that that's the question which i don't think we have an answer to right now. but you have climate change is the very big deal. and it makes differences that may have been city leaders and even the board of 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 country 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 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 bad employment through the streets, through giga economy, by going to houses and providing services to and so on. they were very badly hit during pandemic. and more than them that children, the families, it does 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 was 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 lives in austin better than ideal for you know, in terms of sports and everything we've seen in the past. but the reality of it is that if you 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 willing 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 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, what kind of 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 are still that are very smart, they don't go out to adapt themselves to take the less the best. so to answer the question, i don't think that i'm going to be allowed to move out of an area unless like what you've seen in the u. s. if we 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 comforts. 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 get a fall from the center. so there's one of the continued growth in cities, but the, the challenge is how do we show sustainable growth in the cities in terms of those to the legs of the students. i mention lots of pros and cons to either place. thank you so much for joining us. that was a visual jagger not an economist for the world resources institute. you know, there is this difference between someone choosing to live a minimal as 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 once 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. and recently there's been

a lot of fads which like common sense, but you see 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 huge and it's been your 360 view of the news affecting you. thanks for watching the

ah, the news ah ah. by the middle of the 19th century, practically the whole of india had been under the rule of the british empire. the

colonial authorities had imposed that heavy death bringing the people into poverty and were exporting natural resources. and moreover, these authorities absolutely had no consideration for the provisions of the local population, treating them like 2nd class citizens. the british were showing signs of disrespect even to those and cooperated with them. the fact of ignoring the religious beliefs of the hindus led to the mutiny embassy boys, mercenary soldiers serving under the british ground. 3000000000 began on the 10th of may 1857 in the garrison town of may river, north of india. in the form of a mutiny. the rebels quickly took over daily. the heroic resistance of the indian people lasted for one and a half years. however, the forces were not equal. the colonial authorities dealt with the rebels cruelly thine slaves the boys were tied to the mouth of the cannon and were shot right

through their bodies for the amusement of the public. these type of execution was called the devils with the obliteration of the mutiny resulted in the death of 800000 inhabitants of india. however, the british empire never broke. the free spirit of the indians and their will are resisted. lou. ringback ready because she changed thinking that with him is a promotional query, which would you choose to journalism and come to life from when you do a number, a medical with

national anthem. com protect a campus that the cop different wanted a voice or a ration 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, drain, hundreds of sabotage has to be deployed in the soviet union, just focused on other stuff on there. so from, well, i'm starting with this with george w 2, are you in service? she means more than yes. today, security service of ukraine use is not only the statistic methods,

but almost the ideology of the nationalist a a. with hello and welcome to cross stock where all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle . the chinese president's visit to russia is historic for number of reasons. first to accent, the growing russia, china strategic partnership, and 2nd, to demonstrate what both countries publicly advocate the transition to a multi polar world beyond american hegemony.
