city of the texas panhandle. so, this idea that the little amarillo city was the wonder city of the texas panhandle, that is something that today sounds old-fashioned. but it was true back then. we also have this blueprint above by an architect who, i think, deserves his own study. his name is guy carr lender. what we have is an image of the united states with the city of amarillo that is larger than any other city and it is showing the networking of amarillo as a crossroads. it also says an ideal location for capital and industry. it is -- the kansas city -- the santa railroad, isnta fe an almost quicker line than even to dallas. houston is not even on this map. this map is what this whole show is about and how close those two cities were for a number of reasons, based on the cattle trade at the time. these two objects help tell that story. we are standing in front of another object. this is a reproduction, but this is a blueprint for a christmas card design by guy, who was an he was born in the kansas city area

i was born in the city, raised in the city and i was highly educated in the city. i was fortunate enough to be one of the first people not only in my family to go to college, but as well as in my whole neighborhood. it wasn't a lot of people trying to pursue higher education. we were confined in a certain type of mindset within our neighborhood to think that graduating college wasn't something that was possible. so you might -- imagine how i felt when being one of the first people to drop of college went to college. i had no hope. i do not have the happiness i felt right now seeing the niners going to the super bowl and knowing i am a a, -- college graduate. i was in a basement with some creative people cooking up one of the biggest independent films in the world right now, but also , i was at a place where i didn't know where i wanted to go fortunately, enough in my pursuit of a degree and graduating from st. mary's college in california, city college provided a crucial psychological class that st. mary's wanted $10,000 for. i couldn't afford that. i am saying all

usual and that is the cities of the future look like the. and so to get the yes digitized underground everything service from below and the vibrance of life above. the use is not the vibrance of life he's talking about but this is the way so many cities operate leaving the rest of the planet to drown in its own waste. and as cities grow bigger they also have to grow more efficient and trash collection as we just saw but also on public transport energy delivery water treatment you name it and that's why more and more urban centers are turning to digital platforms where settings for all of these services can increasingly be tailored to real time data the so-called smart city is more than just a blueprint in taiwan it's already in the works and it's all being powered by electronic currency. cities around the world are growing at an unprecedented pace in asia almost half a 1000000000 people are expected to move from the countryside to the cities over the next few decades migration on a monumental scale and one that involves monumental challenges

he says the set up is one of a kind and would make cities more livable. the people 7 storeys above us produce 8 tons of trash a day. separating plastic from organic is still a major challenge for us. so many people when they for away their rubbish but the manual task of separating all the gunk from junk is worth it nothing goes to waste these leftovers of pureed the fat siphoned off for using cosmetics the water removed for treatment all that's left a tiny little flakes sent off to a bio gas plant to create energy. 6000 for the dehydration machine saves a 6000 kilometers of unnecessary transportation within berman every year on the isn't instead of 15000 containers we only have to transport 5000 that's why in other words we reduce the garbage in our cost by 2 thirds. and that in a country often stuck in analogue. it either didn't have the guns or scanned this is the system knows which ones belong to which customers then they're billed and it's all logged and if they just looked. then there are those silver bin it's may contain sensitive data for shredding

this city knows you. they know you like i know, which is you're ineffective and are unlikely to ever be effective: you don't like hearing that, which is why last week you pushed the button and had the sheriffs deputies show up with their guns in their hand. why? because i spoke out of turn. of course when former commissioner cobb interrupted me during my public comment, you praised him and when i took him to the task force and they found him in violation of the ordinance for having done that, you were silent. so i think you go to prove the adage, power corrupts. absolute power corrupts absolutely. you are corrupt. >> thank you. any other public comment on number nine? i would like to make a motion that the ethics commission assert attorney-client privilege and meet in closed session under brown and sunshine ordinance 67.10d to discuss pending litigation. all in favor? >> aye. >> motion carried unanimously. we'll take a >> when i open up the paper every day, i'm just amazed at how many different environmen

deputy city attorney pearson. can you just respond to the -- i guess the concern, i think, from some of the parties that own hotels, that there hasn't been adequate opportunity for them to provide input? >> as you heard from the clerk, notice has been given consistent with the brown act. it has been posted online, outside the clerk's office, and posted at the library. i think it has been posted consistent with how the clerk posts. what the clerk has done is consistent with their standard practice. >> and to the earlier question, which i've now looked up, this was introduced on december 10thof 2019. today, of course, is january the 27th of 2020, and the planning department communicated to the supervisors on january 21st, that they was categorically exempt under sequence. >> chairwoman: okay. perfect. okay, is there -- well, first, can i take a motion to amend the legislation that is laid out by supervisor peskin? >> so moved. >> chairwoman: i take that without objection. without objection, the legislation is amende

to our cities are failing us. affects us all is this all future generations can look forward to i like to have a city where they don't need to worry about the machines and but what do we do to improve the way we move in our cities or more but it's very smart to join us on a journey what architects engineers and activists face up to the challenges of our future urban mobility. traffic chaos that's on the tough stuff. worldwide every day. there are some 47000000 cars on germany's roads enough for 2 of the 3 adults to be driving at the same time. that's the highest level ever in berlin alone 87000 new cars were registered in 2019 despite growing traffic problems. like lots of public transport ok bicycle. and we see all the cars next to the universe the boating people like the students basically have free public transport and they still come by car and i think that's not good. all over the world. traffic pollution is choking use of the air we need to brief. people around the world are demanding change. after more than

and these attacks turned german cities into a smoldering funeral pyre. at that point bombs were being trapped on german cities almost daily dresden was considered a legitimate target but there were also specific technical reasons for the attack on the night of february the 13th. the weather forecast called for cloudy skies over much of eastern germany but some clearing was predicted around interest and ideal conditions for a successful air strike. churchill not only wanted to make good on his promise to increase the number of bombing runs he also wanted to demonstrate to stalin the destructive power of the royal air force bomber command. for the letter was finished and it was. clear that the real victor in europe was going to be stalin he had enormous military resources at that time either put in syria and if i didn't get but britain and the united states wanted to prove their own might only they had the power and ability to reduce cities to dust. evos this amounted to a struggle for post-war political power and it is in my opinion the reason behind the

one person called big-city vacationers the crop from the city. every year, the crop from the city. with the right approach, even quiet and out-of-the-way places like monson might be able to get in on the rural tourism boom. there were some requirements. one was easy transportation. people had to be able to get there easily and quickly. massachusetts investors helped by connecting the town to the railroad network. monson people got into the act. they voted in a town meeting to use town funds to improve the roads for bicyclists, like these people. and for carriage riders, hoping to move through the countryside. outside investors also constructed a place to stay, this was another requirement. in 1882, investors built monson a beautiful new hotel. there needs to be easy travel. you need good lodging and good roads. but the most important requirement was what we might call place making. place making. defining and marketing your rural place as the kind of place where urban vacationers might enjoy visiting. for that crucial task, monson people turned to a railroad publicist, his name was

our city did not win the super bowl, but our city deserves a win.abor council, harvey milk, glide and others support the emergency bridge fund. students have passed a resolution to do so, too. we are city college residents, voters and constituents. we should not be the hallmark of the trustees and asking for accountability. it's not fair for students. i used to work, so i know about fraud and i want you guys to listen. >> president yee: next speaker. >> my name is roger scott. i have been with aft2121. i taught at city college for that same length of time. i've been a teacher in other countries as well. i think all together, 48 years. and i believe in the value of education. i think the economic democracy and true equality have no greater allies than formal education, than accessible and affordable higher education. i believe that -- i'm skeptical of certainty to not be certain that the board should continue to support the bridge funding for city college. >> mr. president -- >> however -- >> sir, pardon me. mr. president, i'm pausing the speaker's t

by the time kansas city and amarillo were linked by the santa fe railroad, kansas city's cattle market started booming based on the cattle raised in the panhandle. so we helped each other to grow the cattle industry, with the train connecting the two. and then the other aspect is the culture and fashion, and objects in the museum that tell the story of going to kansas city and finding goods and services that were bringing sophistication back here. even the cowboys would go shopping and buy spurs and boots in kansas city. we didn't have local business owners that could sell those items to the cowboys. i think people can understand, beyond this area, it is a local history, it is also a regional history, and also a national history, so it works on a number of levels. we have a newspaper from kansas city that is dated to the era of the borger boom of oil. borger is a town northwest of amarillo, and in the 1926 there was oil discovered in the town and there was a huge influx of investment money into amarillo. so what we have in this image is a kansas city newspaper featuring amarillo has th

way behind rents are high and rising in cities like munich. there was an acute housing shortage a century ago as well with massive overcrowding and terrible sanitary conditions in gloomy tenements as here in berlin poor people often also worked in the spaces where they lived. the bauhaus movement was founded in 1919 and soon came to champion a vision of society and design that was radically new even revolutionary it wanted to create good housing for everybody. to achieve that goal that developed standardised units and industrialized production to bring down costs. it was at the forefront of modernist architecture championed simple forms free of ornament large windows and light colors. it also pioneered prefabrication at the time it was simply not technically feasible to put together entire modules as opposed to manufacturing single component. but that changed. the clothes for a company makes much for the construction industry. at its factory in holland for example it makes 16 prefab units a day including flooring and windows. they'll be put to

, new york city. as you know there have been a number of incidents in my district. i've urged the nypd and other law enforcement agencies to monitor this situation closely. i'm very happy to hear what you're doing with comstat because that may help us to get to the core of the matter. can you discuss nypd strategy to combat violent hate crimes and in particular, incidents targeted towards the orthodox jewish community? >> these incidents began to rise, congresswoman clarke, to increase the police presence in those neighborhoods and around houses of worship and in the areas where we were seeing the hate crimes. and that was a combination of precinct personnel, house of worship personnel, specially trained precinct personnel who can literally change their uniforms and become counterterrorism officers and be placed out there because they do have that training and that's a select group, as well as the crc, wisconshich is the critica response command. our forward leaning uniform counterterrorism force. we

may see me from that moment cities are the only thing anyone has been looking at and cities has been what people have been kind of publishing about doing studies about. intellectual concentration is going to cities. the prediction is that. maybe 70 or 80 percent of mankind to live in cities and i think there are 2 point become a completely absurd situation that we you know over us are concentrating on very overcrowded kind of situations and that we leave the countryside to be its potential all its beauty all its history its. it's nature alone and so. it's more a statement that we should let it happen and that we need to look at the country again that we have to be prepared to live in the countryside thing and. of course in a totally new way. and we're showing some evidence of that between also showing the need for that but is it a statement that actually offer some solutions i'll tell you i'm saying because like the country where account from it's a huge territory and i see that 17 villages every year disappear from the number of russia and i'm not i mean it's understandable the whet

we were able to expand the city college at a time when city college is cutting classes city-wide. and the classes started very successfully and are all enrolled or even over-enrolled, including older adults classes, esl, and dual enrollment classes for high school students. as supervisor mandelman referred to, i have been working with the city college leaders including student faculty and trust -- members of the board of trustees on a comprehensive long-term proposal to address the budget challenges that city college has been facing due to inadequate state funding by expanding our education enrichment fund and to provide support to city college. i want to ensure that -- as supervisor peskin mentioned -- many of us were at the rally in the north corridor earlier and supported schools and communities first. we're going to be voting on and passing the resolution here this afternoon, supporting that and that is going to be a game-changer for public education, including community college and public services statewide. i want to ensure that city college is still around as we know it. yo

the city's old town dressed in council this spring a palace the found. the church of our lady of potential treasures that were reduced to rubble in a matter of balance. this american news reel described one of the 2 british raids on tristen. it wanted to ask why 6550300 bombs on transportation lands in germany stop modestly. but the german side reported things differently saying that the attack targeted a cultural center that had no military value. the plotters ability to speak with diabolical intent our enemies annihilated us flourishing city christian is dead it's beautiful rock landmarks and a lot of by residents and visitors alike has been destroyed. a kind of i might have i knew go. and several of the british air attacks on germany during the war were carried out exactly as the plan as had intended hamburg was one castle was one and also dresden height but such tactical perfection was the exception rather than the rule lynched the bombing of dresden was considered a must a piece of military planning to get perfect. gift wish and just walk. the strok

course once again what it once was a beautiful city a very charming medium sized city on the banks of the river. it had in the 18th century very rich rulers the electors of saxony had their palaces and so they also built very representative buildings the following of dresden is considered one of the most beautiful churches in the world and it was completely destroyed the simple opera house they include a government newseum which was began with a collection of the of the of the ruins of saxony them selves a private collection so it was it was known famous throughout europe throughout the world indeed as a jewel of iraq architecture and a cultural center so that was particularly shocking that it was bombed and particularly because as i mentioned from the time of the nazi period through the communist era again and again it was presented as being the bombing purely to destroy the cultural center and to target civilians that is not true it was also a garrison time and it was very very important in the last months of the war for the allies to put it out of action so that the red army could

when the city retains ownership, the city has the ability to grant a lease or an easement over all or a portion of the vacated area. this street legislation or this legislation approves three phases. first, portions of mission street and fremont street will be vacated, starting from the sidewalk level down to a depth of approximately 300 feet. this will split off city-owned parcels below grade while keeping the above portion in the current street status as shown on the screen right here along mission street and fremont street. the second portion of this legislation will be an easement that will be granted from the city to the inner of 301 mission street over portions of the below-grade vacated street. the easement areas can be seen on the screen and on file on pages 2 and 3. each one, page two, shows mission street's easement area, and page three shows the fremont street portion of the vacation. finally, after the easement is recorded, the vacated property will be restored to public right of way with subject to the easement. the street vacation was processed as required by local and s

and one of the hardest hit cities is cleveland. here the unemployment rate for whites is around 6 percent. traffic in americans that number is almost 3 times that i and. many cities across america the sights of boarded up businesses and devastated neighborhoods is something that's become increasingly common but what's remarkable about cleveland is that it also happens to be the worst city in the entire united states are in for more talent. in cleveland there are neighborhoods where the infant mortality rate is worst than that of countries like guatemala botswana and even north korea. eric price is a lifelong cleveland resident. he says the scale of the problem is the product of living in a forgotten city should be a great area it was great for bringing up kids it was great educationally there was a middle class typical middle class midwestern neighborhood. eric remembers these neighborhoods as prosperous places when transport oil and steel drove the city's economy. but now there are no jobs of course there's no money they've a star

what we were able to accomplish in new york city. in new york we were able to reduce street homeless by 28 percent, even in the aftermath of the great recession. preserved 175,000 units of afford housing. and we launched new programs to prevent foreclosure and homelessness, which became national models. we havemy philanthropy, out cities across this country take action. we have helped syracuse reduce eviction for low income renters. we have helped mobile, alabama. mobile, alabama rehabilitated blighted housing. we helped atlanta develop bold plans to build affordable housing. york butrogress in new we know we did not totally solve those problems. and we know we could have done so much more with help from the federal government. that is true of cities around the country who are grappling with affordability and homelessness. our plan will provide cities and counties with the hope they need, so we can extend assistance to millions more families and get to work building the millions of new affordable units we need to address this crisis,

of many countries living in cities may see me from that moment cities are the only thing anyone has been looking at and cities has been what people have been kind of policing about doing studies about. intellectual concentration is going to cities. the prediction is. maybe 70 or 80 percent of mankind to live in cities and i think that to. become a completely absurd situation. you know concentrating on. the kind of situations we leave the countryside to be its potential all its beauty all its history its. its nature. to. let it happen. again that we have to be prepared to live in a country. of course in a totally new. and showing some evidence of that also showing the need for it but is it a statement that actually offer some solutions i'll tell you i'm so. because like the country where khan from it's a huge territory and i see that 17 villages every year disappear from the member of russia and i'm not i mean it's understandable the where there are the monies and the city living conditions all of that but maybe something in your perspective maybe a solution that you're offering could rev
