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

city of the c shanks has been taken by the russians. is it going to be harder for the russians then to take more territory? if they want to keep control of a major urban cent city like mercy shots, i think that now what we see russia is regrouping the troops. now the threat is coming from southern regions some directions, particularly make life and also threat. this is still there in hot keep so obvious, the russia we'll try to stay there. but again, less russian forces brought so much destruction to elicit chance and similar than yet that it was basically nothing to defend their. so but you, ukraine, withdrawal of troops was pre plans and we managed to take a beneficial positions for us. do you see the ukrainian military in a holding pattern right now waiting for these weapons to arrive? most of them from the u. s. once those weapons are in the hands of ukrainian forces, will they then be able to push the russians back into russia? absolutely. if we get more weapons than we can go offensive, and so we need world artillery, we need more rocket systems, we need our vehicle. we need more weapons to get read. all russian troops from western, from easter

the urban heat island| describes the fact that urban cities tend to be a few degrees higher than thanterials and cities. because most of the popular cajun in the uk, over 80% of us live in towns and cities, that means we are exposed to this extra heat. and it can be as much as about 10 celsius difference between temperature and is the centre and a rural area for a large city. is the centre and a rural area for a lane ci . is the centre and a rural area for a large city-— large city. so, there are parts of the world used _ large city. so, there are parts of the world used to _ large city. so, there are parts of the world used to this _ large city. so, there are parts of the world used to this kind - large city. so, there are parts of the world used to this kind of i large city. so, there are parts of. the world used to this kind of heat. for other parts of the world not used to it, what can we learn from those countries? 50. used to it, what can we learn from those countries?— used to it, what can we learn from those countries? so, in the uk, we are traditionally _ those countries? so,

cities are a global phenomenon. there are now 3 times as many urban areas with $10000000.00 plus residents as just a few decades ago. but as cities grow, so do their problems. stretches, inched cities a microcosms of society. we can observe all the opportunities and challenges in a very small space, sort of like under a looking glass of you want and the brand glass. the income, the biggest conservation on the planet is greater tokyo population. $38000000.00, followed by jakarta with around $34000000.00 loan by manila, and shanghai are each home to more than $20000000.00 people. as are the biggest metropolis is in latin america, south palo, and mexico city. traffic is a major problem in mega cities. but they're a new ideas out there on how to tackle it globally. hm. we're also used to cars that we can't imagine cities without them anymore. but if we were to experience that, we wouldn't want to go back to cars method an auto select form. this is how cities might look in future if different kinds of road uses were separated. one road is for fast moving electric vehicles, another for pedestrian, cyclist and scooters. wi

and each of them has left an indelible mark on the city's urban fabric. japanese implemented the initial physical layout of the city, but the political landscape was then shaken up by the chinese, who took over by the end of world war ii. with political upheaval taking place in mainland china, some 1.2 million chinese war-time refugees migrated to taipei, impacting the city in a substantial and irreversible way. the conflicts with china combined with years of internal military governance gave birth to a fiercely independent and politically engaged taiwanese population. when martial law was lifted in 1987, political awareness grew even stronger. on the municipal level, this newfound democracy led to a much-needed urban renewal, rapidly improving living conditions and creating an undeniably unique city in the far-east. i usually start my quest for the life-sized city far, far away from city hall, but here in taipei, i'm going to make an exception. you see, democracy here is cherished. taipei's citizens are very active and very involved, and they speak out wh

studies for 20 years, my beloved, the city of lipetsk is changing. this is a noticeably new urbanace road. does this change improve the main function of the city? city ​​services that make people's lives comfortable and happy lipetsk is one of the major cities of the black earth region more half a million inhabitants is the center of metallurgy, and at the same time a resort with mineral springs famous since the 18th century. the 21st century has changed, new urban spaces have appeared in lipetsk, and almost 3 years ago. a national project for safe quality roads has been launched here. we have now participated in several programs, we are like a whole city and federal programs that have made it possible to repair and improve and change those streets as much as possible. there, on each of them there are slopes for wheelchairs and for e strollers with children. this is called a barrier-free environment, but how comfortable and safe this environment for people with disabilities is in reality , the urbanist will check it together with the participants of the inclusive theater. dance. p

realize that a lot of the grievance that these people in america have our a lot that many have been urban citiesot of crossover. when i began to see that, then i understood the trump voter. there are a lot of people in a movement that donald trump, they didn't criticize the supporters, but they didn't understand the trump nominee. he was not traditional republican and a moderate on a lot of issues, but when you want to understand voters, the people you are interested to serve. we are members of the press. eric trump is not to serve ourselves. our job is to serve the audience. you actually go out there and talk with them. and they decided to make fun of them and put them in a basket of deplorables. i think that is what had trump supporters or maga people so upset. it is to call them racist, dumb, palling. i think this is going to hurt them in the next election because that same wave of people are rising up. a lot of people that didn't necessarily like donald trump emotional appeal now say economically when it comes to safety, when it comes to the border, we were better off. >> that is the questio

i lead like you said the largest, arguably, the largest urban city in the state and his mandate is significantly but it's also very different in terms of cities in rural areas. >> does he talk to you now? does he talk to the mayor of the second largest city in the state? >> we have spoken. one of the ones we spoke about recently happened to be about resiliency. the state did give us about $40 million that we combined with the $200 million and we did a press conference together in broward county. i have to say his record over the last four years, including the legislature's record, has been very much pro environment and something he and i share. >> what about on issues of health? when it comes to covid, florida's response has been heavily scrutinized. monkeypox right now, florida has the third highest case count of any state in the country. are you in miami getting the vaccines you need? are you getting the tests you need? has that part of the health rollout working with the state been smooth? >> we are monitoring this outbreak as you mentioned. i am not aware of any shortages in vaccines or test

>> yeah, i think they're impacting texas from all over the state, from role texas, to urban cities, wend families having to make the most personal and dire decisions. and it's just not okay. it's just not okay. women have in texas have become second class citizens, overnight. so, women are really angry. there are no protections for incest or no protections for rape. and that's not okay. i mean, i have a 15-year-old. i have a daughter who is getting ready ready to go to college. i wanna make sure she has as many protections as possible, and i can't live in a world where my daughter has less rights now that i than i did when i was her age. >> mothers against greg abbott went viral with another act, featuring a pretty diverse groups of moms, calling out abbots extreme policies. and an msnbc opinion columnist argues that ad lays out, quote, a litany of the horrible policies promoted by abbott and his republican colleagues, they have made the state hell for anyone with a working conscience. from threatening to take trans kids away from their parents, to putting a bounty on women who seek ab

he frequently visits berlin to keep tabs on the cities ecological balance. urban greenery is providing a lot of social and the political services to cities and citizens. for example, they cool cities, they provide water because they are not sealed. i, they provide by a diversity services. they are home for many insects for example, i'm a barrels and they will become more important in the future. did you find the change? temperatures are rising and by land, while the amount of annual rainfall has dropped allotments, provide urban greenery and can help address climate change challenges. but just because a garden is green doesn't mean it's a cure all. if you have a lot more gardening, where you have only long and there has no, they're not many plans, and you use a lot of pesticide for example. then the value of this green is very, very low. so what you need is more while the gardens of more diversity gardening in berlin has developed beyond traditional allotments in the center of the city on the land of the disused temple roof air field is the community garden and men there contour, found

art, public interventions and community projects, these guys have launched a city-wide conversation about transforming urban mobility. the power of murals is that you're really speaking to the city. you're talking to people who are driving, who are in the process of moving around about mobility. and it's so much more powerful to do that in the streets, and you're also democratizing access because you're reaching the poor, the rich, the immigrant and the nonimmigrant, everyone at the same time, by choosing the locations in the city that you're painting on. it's open access. you see, we get a lot of responses from different people. some people do change their lifestyles after they either see us painting or they participate in an event that we organize, or if they hear us do a talk somewhere, they tell us: "o.k. you really changed the way i think. i'm going to try and go to work by bike and commute by bike." and some other people have opposite reactions. sometimes, they would tell us: "are you trying to kill me? look at how crazy people are here, how they drive, it's impossible. look at how many potholes we ha

detroit, so i know that san francisco has been through a lot of twists and turns as have many major urban citiesple of years, but so she's still got it. she does. you know i grew up there and it's easy sometimes to think about all the things that san francisco could do better, but sometimes you have to take that cap off and say, hey, this is still a great spot. it's a world renowned spot , and there are a lot of good things about it. so i'm glad that these stories come out kind of to remind you, you know, i always said there's no such thing as total perfection. there's no perfect place to live. everything is all about trade offs. and you know, san francisco does have a lot to offer. it's the reason why it's still one of the top tourist spots in the country and in the world. so how lucky that we live so close to it. well let's turn now to talking about san francisco and some of the issues there. we're talking about a busy plaza in the mission district. it's now off limits because of safety concerns. ktvu elissa harrington tells us, the city put up a fence at the 24th and mission street park plaza

sociologists have shown that in order for a person to feel happy in a city, he must not only consume, but also create this role, and urbanties or, in other words, communities, take on themselves. in a big city, people really feel disconnected and at some point this began to lead to a serious problem of the problem of burnout, a person who is collapsing inside gradually destroys everything that is around him, therefore, if you want it to become different around you, then you need to look at who you are together with, we can do it and then, when the community unites, and life manifests itself with new colors, because people choose what to do together. choosing what to do together in zheleznovodsk as in many other cities, another digital technology site helps, where everyone can talk about a problem or vote for changes, and a separate application helps tourists and holidaymakers. tourist zheleznovodsk has two options for using a smart city using your smartphone and using an intelligent panel, which is located directly around the city in places where there are the largest concentrations of tourists, but is it easy for a tour

shelling the forward lines of e-e in the entire lane and on civilian e-e settlements , urban-type settlements and citiesk god that works at 85 to 90 even at 100% air defense, but in urban-type settlements and settlements, unfortunately, the enemy uses rsza uses cruise missiles and simply commits acts of terrorism, attacking civilian homes before the lives of civilians, therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity, i am asking civilians and large cities and towns of urban types to always respond to air alarms because there is nothing the enemy of the world is doing what is, well, this is a real genocide of the ukrainian people. well, the enemy is not only shelling the population, points of peaceful residents, houses, apartment buildings, he also hides his equipment so that they could not, well, they did not risk to aim at it ukrainian fighters, in particular, he places the equipment, and the whites of the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the largest in europe, let me remind you if it is really from there

we've talked about how crime has changed, not just in oakland, but in many major urban cities.u see as happening? well i think we are still emerging from this pandemic. i think america is seen the impacts of gun violence. every day every week. another tragedy , another unbelievable incident . i do want to acknowledge the officers that children's hospital doctors have said saved the boy's life. i am appreciative for that. let us celebrate the heroes amongst us and let us continue to advocate for lawmakers that are going to do something about this gun violence. so we did have those heroic opd officers. they essentially took the little boy in their own police car to the hospital, and those precious minutes is likely. what helps save a little boy's life when you hear, the police chief said that oakland is at 50. seven homicides this year compared to 66% last they've recovered 860 firearms off the streets. the numbers look better than where we were last year, but is the feeling also better? in the community at the lake at the theaters. you know the places where oakland orders and ot

environment for people with disabilities, so that for every person the urban environment was friendly and this is how our project, a cityut borders, was born. this is a project to create a mobile navigator application that allows people with disabilities to solve problems with the movement of the urban environment and go around all the obstacles on the routes on their way from point a to point b. uh, let me tell you how the mobile app works. e, when registering, the user sets parameters regarding their restrictions.

so for me, my work is largely centered on not the urban context, especially across south asia and cities, especially in bugs fun and a cities are present, a specific kind of a conundrum. as far as warming is concerned, because it's not just about heat waves which, which have a more regional context, but also about urban he talent effects. so said you'd like roger, you were on based at the moment, are actually, they've gotten considerably warmer, much warmer. the last 606070 years or so, and being prepared essentially means that there are you rolling out the kinds of heat wave alert plans and health, you know, health infrastructure planning and the urban planning and energy efficiency plans. and that actually target vulnerable communities, the poorest of the poor. and i'm basically not seeing any of those kinds of things happening. and just for, for people who are not meteorologist and urban head island, a fight is a city that creates so much energy that it says warmer than the area around it. so london tends to be warmer than the surrounding area. new york tends to be within the surround

of the department of urban planning of the lviv city councilnd obliged the latter to extend the viennese coffee shop validity of the passport for the placement of an open summer playground at 12 svoboda avenue in the city of lviv was decided in the lviv administrative court and as soon as the viennese coffee shop was fully operational again the very next day, the avengers from the city council came up with a new way to stick sticks in the wheels of business at 1:30 in the morning, well, some craftsmen, but not to build, but on the contrary, a team of workers came to remove paving stones on the site without any work permits, without any explanation of what they are planning here to do, they said that they would be looking for some lyubka sewers and would dismantle the entire site after the arrival of the police. the workers simply left , leaving this behind. and our dialogue with a man who constantly called someone and behaved like the leader of those workers, although he was the last to deny it, looked like this, let's go back to vinnytsia tell

outdoor markets have long been a way for new york city's urban to connect with upstate farmers. you are a buyer or a seller, inflation is hitting the finances of every american. inflation. everything has gone sky high. food. i prefer to go to the green markets. i will not stop going, but the prices have gone through the roof. this man is a fourth—generation farmer. even though he has had to raise prices, it doesn't mean he's going to make more money. it's going to be a hard year. profits are going to be down. what have you had to pay more for? everything — i mean, from our containers to our inputs, the fertiliser, plants, i think, gas — we're a three—hour drive just to get here so everything — everything we have coming in is now up — all of our products are up. the price increases are hitting the pocketbooks of most americans. everything has gotten expensive. food. i have two girls. they're home now. they eat like crazy. so, i mean, everything is like... and the bad thing about it is that the salary is the same pay you're getting., so you just have to really cut corners. so if p

environment for people with disabilities, so that for every person the urban environment was friendly and this is how our project, a city without borders, was born. this is a project to create a mobile navigator application that allows people with disabilities to solve problems with the movement of the urban environment and go around all the obstacles on the routes on their way from point a to point b. uh, let me tell you how the mobile app works. e, when registering, the user sets the parameters regarding his health restrictions, then the person can choose a specific organization, be it a cafe, a pharmacy or shop. and assess the possibility of visiting them. they are leaving the house, either by audio or by photo information. well, as i said earlier, a person has the opportunity to lay a whole route available from point a to point b. e, bypassing all obstacles, an additional function of the application is to receive feedback from users. that is, each user can leave us information about the availability of a particular object. through our moderation, we will be able to add it to the accessibility map. it is important to

this is precisely the philosophy of the city, to make it with new views on urban planning.your opinion, of course. we we shouldn't rebuild as it was. we should rebuild better than it was. such was smuhan lugan, who spoke a lot of our foreign colleagues bill bag better, that is, these are parcels that we should rebuild, but rebuild better than it was. by the way, you mentioned the experience of warsaw. they weren't quite there either, so they were rebuilding as it was destroyed before that, in fact, there was such an interesting story... warsaw just didn't want you to see their sights as they were... before the war, before the occupation, before poland had an occupation russian empire 100 years before the war, and that's why when they rebuilt their monuments, they returned to the times before the occupation and rebuilt the monuments based on the paintings of artists of the period when poland was great, that is, to say a televised important story, it concerns ours literally for a second, i have a question that always bothers me: sophia of kyiv. yes, this is our super symbol,
