a little tension between the urban city of harrisburg and the surrounding rural communities even though harrisburg was very small, just the downtown, surrounded by farms. that is the history of printing in 19th century harrisburg. as we move to the 20th century, the city undergoes a movement called the city beautiful and you have national leaders, like horace mcfarland who helped preserve niagara falls and yosemite and nationally with the forest service to preserve our forests in the country, they settled in harrisburg. as part of what they do have established a beautification effort called the farland press. one of the things horace mcfarland does is pioneers color printing in the 20th century and this may not seem like much today when digital photography gives crisp, clear colors but in 1900 getting the right color when you are doing a book of roses of the world, was really important and mcfarland had a rose garden that was internationally renowned and what he did was sent out his own artists to paint the flowers. i have examples of some of the original paintings, getting the pigments

the diversity that exists in such an urban city, the concrete, the streets, cars, we have this oasis of a natural environment. it reminds us of what san francisco initially was. >> this is a section for dogs and plenty of parking. transit is available to get you there easily. and the part is ada -- park is ada accessible. there is also a natural lake. this is your chance to stroll and let the kids run free. it also has many birds to watch. it is the place to find some solitude from the city and appreciate what you share with a wonderful breath of fresh air. , an experienced this park and enjoy the peoples, picnics, and sunshine. this is a lovely place to take a stroll with your loved one hand in hand. located in the middle of pacific heights on top of a hill, lafayette park offers a great square a of a peaceful beauty. large trees border greenery. it features tables and benches, a playground, restaurants, and tennis courts. there are plenty of areas for football, frisbee, and picnics. it is very much a couple's part and there are a multitude of experiences you can have together. brin

he was understood to be anti-urban, not a big fan fan of the city. so they needed someone that was as good as him to write for a broad audience as he did. but to write more favorably. to say not just promote this anti-urban message. so that's what they found in jane jacobs. two things come out of their conversations. the first and was a conference, an conference in 1958 this was the pin conference, and that conference was called the conference on urban design criticism. what that covers was specifically and explicitly about was expanding both the number of writers and the audience about american cities and their future and the present and so on. and then the death of the american city was exactly that, a book that would be generalized. generalized. that was all a little bit the sort of external jane jacobs at some level. but as she developed the book, she was very conscious about the audience in terms of writing to both a professional audience and to a general audience. this was an explicit agenda. when you read death and life it does not have the jar

where is that coming out in the -- in what we see being built in our urban city. >> i just want you tohing that jane ever did publicly was to critique the greenpoint, williamsburg city plans and if grew back and read it you will see that she was a big credit county of what the city -- critic of that the city approved and trying to point out, trust the local, and there were local plans that would not have produced what came. so, you can't see any application of her ideas in anything that is going on these days. >> this reliance or turning to local citizens, which works so well in the west village, i wonder whether it always worked to well? i think sometimes local people don't have the body of expertise that you would hope them to have, and i remember -- i interviewed one person who worked with jane in the west village, and he said something like, even most mundane suspect aspect of putting up the fight for the west village is the press releases and announcements and the presentations before city boards were all done so professionally, and they all had the stamp of jane jacobs, and i won

it was always a little bit of tension between urban city of harrisburg and surrounding rural communities even though harrisburg at the time was very just the downtown and was surrounded by farms everywhere you can see. so that's sort of the history of printing in 19th century harrisburg , as we moved to the 20th century, the city undergoes a movement called the city beautiful movement and you have national leaders, people like werth mcfarland who nationally helped preserve niagara falls and yosemite and myra lloyd. who work nationally with the forest service to preserve our forests, they have all settled in harrisburg and they as part of what they do, have established a beautification effort and a press effort called mcfarland press. one of the things that lloyd mcfarland does, he pioneered color printing in the 20th century, just as the mouthpiece does in the 20th century and this may not seem like much today when digital photography you can get this beautiful clear colored but in 1900s, getting the right color when you weredoing the book of safe roses of the world , that's important. a

it's not all urban cities and cities that are democratic. >> well, i think that, you know, it's not allan cities and centers but los angeles is a massive economy. and garcetti yesterday pointed to the fact that i'm grants are such an important part of the economy here with the majority of businesses started by immigrants. he just rattled off a string of statistics pointing to the importance of the immigrant community here. so i think that the mood here is concerned. i hear from a lot of people that they do feel like california is a very separate entity from the rest of the country. we've seen various studies saying there are a number of people here who believe california succeed from the united states. i think there is a sense of a great disconnect between what people here believe and what president trump is saying about the role of immigrants here. it's v it will be interesting to see especially what the mayors of los angeles and san francisco take a very strong stand that they are going to stick with their immigration policies. >> yeah. they say all politics is local, julia. we've see

republicans in the past and up through donald trump have seen this as major urban cities, often varied the federal government and subverting their effo rts government and subverting their efforts at law—enforcement. this cities look at it as a way of taking ca re of cities look at it as a way of taking care of people within their borders, if there are people who do not have normalised immigration status does not mean that they can't get government services or will not benefit from education, if they somehowjust benefit from education, if they somehow just flat—out benefit from education, if they somehowjust flat—out denied the services to people within their borders there all sorts of compensating factors that could make things even more difficult for the cities to manage. it is setting up a conflict the trump administration and some powerful cities throughout the country, and it is helping to divide this country again on political terms because, as you may have noticed, lots of the cities in california, new york, washington and illinois, those states went for hillary clinton are not d

poverty is that in an urban city, in the south bronx for instance, chances are chances are if your child you see people in the middle class to get onto the subway every day and go to jobs. if you are living on the pine ridge reservation, you might not have been one in in your immediate family with any employment. you might not have anyone who does not have a problem with drug or alcohol use. you may not have anybody who has high school education. there are all of these aspects of life that are seem normal to most middle-class americans that would seem like life on another planet to some of the people living in these communities. so the isolation is one part of it. in terms of the advantages, it's not as if the people living on these reservations would immediately say move to rapid city and find themselves rolling in dough. even if you have the wherewithal to leave the reservation, you would still be coming at it with an inferior education, so you'd be trying to get yourself into a workforce and obviously there are be more opportunities for employment but you may

cities in the world. ninth, eighth or seventh. we talk about this urban dynamism. n i create a city where that dynamism isn't in part of the city but every city and can every child regardless of where they go to school see that future of that city, embracing their future. if i can bridge that divide there's nothing that's going to hold us back. that's the more primary divide than the divide between chicago and mchenry county. no insult, mchenry county. that to me -- and then i do believe cities have the primary but need help, resources and tools to bridge that divide for one future. then we are all that stronger because there's 20 metropolitan areas in the united states that drive the economic, cultural, intellectual energy of the united states economy. >> so i just want to end where i began. i think these are the two right people, sort of an accident that tristram said hey, i want to come over to the united states. >> i want out. help! >> this is a sanctuary think tank for mayoral peace. and then the mayor basically called and said it's time to have a smart convers

cities. he's talking about urban america as a political issue. >> how do you run against the big cities? i guess they're 85% against him. >> first of all, there are not many republican voters in those big cities. it's easy politics for the republicans. the second thing is, if you're a police chief, you really want to be able to enforce the law and have the trust of the community to cut down crime. so there's tension here. how do you actually make communities safer, and perhaps ending sanctuary city policy is not the best idea, but it's good politics for republicans because cities are willfully not enforcing the law. >> law enforcement wants to be able to go into a community and say, tell me who the criminals are. but when you have scenarios like secure communities, which basically was a dotted line between law enforcement and i.c.e., crime went up. >> because people didn't want to deal with the police. >> right. if i report a crime or a rape or an actual crime, why am i going to call the police if i will be deported or my daughter or husband be deported? >> when they come to interview yo

wonderful in restoring common spaces, that's a small taste of what we expect we'll be able to enjoy as cities, urban dwellers in the future as the need for parking is eliminated. the need for car ownership is eliminated and use it to build green space and this can be toward leveraging autonomous in many ways and a new mode that's available on top of lyft's existing platform and not an abrupt, but environment where is this is something we believe we can test successfully in the early deployments, there may be corridors, fixed routes or zones extensively mapped and monitored for the quality and capability of the infrastructure in the locations to make sure they're appropriate for autonomous in the beginning and generate consumer acceptance and then gradually expand it to the point where it's available anywhere and do so in a way you might associate with wireless networks online and slow edge data connection and then it just dropped on the to your and then automatically tap into. driver would be more than wa actually having the hands on the wheel. trying to keep focus for long hours without like anythi
