why inequality was so profound in different urban cities. new language and framework with which to understand how the history of public policy decisions created the inequality we see in the cities. part of what i started doing on twitter was i had these threads where i was talking about the books that were in conversation with the moment we found ourselves in. you begin to editorialize and it becomes many blogs -- mini blogs. and then i began to turn those threads into more thoughtful pieces. it is interesting because my journey to becoming a journalist and writer begins with those threads in my little library in the early days of graduate school. i think people were hungry for that information. now i mostly use it to talk about arsenal, my favorite soccer team in london. but that is how it began. >> "how the what is passed" has been named one of the top 10 books of last year. it won the circle award for nonfiction. where does that phrase come from? mr. smith: "how the word is pas sed? " the first chapter is about monticello. i think the jeff

if you were to apply just these 2 concepts to developing urban cities, you're barely scratching the surface of sustainability. well, constructing buildings entities need to remember that the building industry is one of the major contributors of energy in the world. in 2020, this sector accountant for 36 percent of global final energy consumption. and 37 percent of all energy related carbon dioxide emissions. a huge contributor to the change is the building materials. usually we want to have building materials which a little carbon footprint. so we look at what is it that we want to avoid, or at least reduce? for instance, of the ceiling. they use the woodstock instead of depending on reinforced concrete on the card surface and the surface is formed as breaks at age between 2 beam strong. in normal fire bricks, there is no steel, cement or plaster needed or plastering needed apart from reducing steel. and i meant very cycle, 3 important details in the building industrial subunit of otherwise ended up in landfills. first construction which was crushed and used in the modern world. then to cut

city people and. country people had been. so let me just give you one way in which this takes place. urban historians have shown that during the years before the civil war there were many animals and significant agriculture in major american cities. for example, in 1820, there an estimated, by one estimate at 20,000 hogs living in the settled portions of manhattan. 20,000 hogs roaming the streets of manhattan. that's one hog for every five people. and was the case hogs roaming through the streets of the city rooting freely until in the middle decades, the 19th century middle class gentrifiers began to restrict urban in the name of health. last week we studied the rising and the growing inequality year of the gilded age. the last few decades of the 1800s as the united states on a grand scale after the civil war. cities amassed more and more economic clout. they became economic hubs, for example, rural people could now buy urban goods through the mail. last week, on sunday afternoon, i ordered two books on amazon and they showed up at my doorstep the next day. it was almost as if jeff bezos

in urban cities and municipalities operating on a shoestring budget with multiple full-time grant writer's on their staff. uphill battle for a rural communities when they try to compete and this mr. carico told us you lose points quickly and he's have a -- he has had projects that have not made it. discrepancies and staff resources experience and. rural communities from competing on a level playing field ultimately leading to many brownfield development opportunities unrealized and disadvantages areas that really need it. he could -- unless you remediate you won't get a development around it. epa takes credit for recognizing potential problems. one agencies attempted to address the issue is the establishment of the technical assistance of brownfield committee program. there are six recipient of funding and i understand west virginia is a tab funded place referred to as tab providers. each is assigned to specific region of the country provider service ant independent resourc. specific applicants with technical expertise help them navigate the brownfield navigation p

situations where rural communities are unable to compete with their larger urban counterparts due to lack of resources which unlike larger cities in urban centers, local municipalities typically are operating on a shoestring budget, lack of good fortune of having multiple full-time grant writers on their staff. this makes it an uphill battle for rural communities. .. ultimately leaving many rural brownfield development properties unrealized in disadvantaged areas that really need the most because until you can clean that and we mediate you're not going to get any development about it. epa deserves credit for recognizing there's a problem. one way the agency has attempted to address the issue is through the establishment of the technical assistance to brownfield committee program otherwise known as pat. their six recipients of tab funding, a tab funded place referred to as have providers with each being a scientist pacific region in the country. have providers serve as independent resource assisting applicants with expert technical assistance and guidance to help them better navigate the brownfield application process. they serv

i personally, as a resident to an active resident of the city, would like to be kept in it. more than some kind of urbandentity of such chitinousness, i would call it such a neologism, and for the city to have such a recognizable face, because uh, if i, for example, tell you, irkutsk, then you will answer me, probably 130 quarter. yes, if i tell you, vladivostok, then these will be russian golden bridges, and i would i would like chita to also have such a bristle and trick, because there are many comfortable and comfortable cities, and such a couple absolutely agree with you valentina i believe that the main wealth of both the city and the region is strong, hardworking people with a strong- willed character conditions to create opportunities for the development of human capital for the development of our transbaikalians is the most important task of the authorities. new reading is a rich choice of profession healthy city. and a high quality of life. thank you very much for your story. i think that on behalf of everyone i can express the hope that all components of the master plan will come true and will

one that oquickest urbanized city of the type no surprise a lot of this is happening there. so they first newspapers to ever cover only a entertainment. now remember for a long time leisure time was not something that was admired or something you were supposed to be engaged in. you're a good middle class worker you are supposed to be some. the recent entertainment such a big issue if your middle class worker you're supposed harder knots must be goofing off during your off hours, right just be earning money, working her way up the corporatety ladder. never talked about baseball being a distraction from that it wasn't just acceptance of leisure time yet. the growth of the sport grew with the acceptance of leisure time we see that the pages. now one key thing to draw in here, we talk about him a little bit before i would bring him up again because he is importantat hereto. notices nicknamed the father of baseball. we talked about that before. but what is really interesting about that, is called the fathev of baseball but he never played the sport much. right? how does th

it has been a big mix compared to other other urban cities in the united united states. we honor you know know all of those countries celebrating those events. >> reporter: while is accepted and celebrated aspect of hispanic culture, it was not always like this. the people who who love low riders fought to get there independence, culture, culture, and their automotive art. >> the city was concerned about oslo writing. i got arrested about 13 times. through a federl court case we were able to get our rights to be able to cruise. cruise. there is nothing wrong h it. >> with a mix of backgrounds comes the mix of music. [ music] and was celebrated in the mission over the weekend. >> we want to showcase and have people have pride and not be embarrassed to be brown, to be latino. [ music ] >> san jose's regional medical center celebrated fiestas marking the presence of latin american countries. the hospital hospital held an event just outside of its stores. community community members and city council workers came out to enjoy the mariachi band. there was dancing, food, games

>> i think that what's happening in jackson right now is what has happened to a lot of other urban citiess the united states and what will continue to happen as environmental racism just runs rampant. it's no secret that the backbone of america was built on racism. and the environment in infrastructure is not excluded from that as well. what's happening in jackson is a complete disregard for the blackest state in the nation. jackson is a majority black city. there has been a lack of action from state officials for years on this issue, for decades. now they're coming in as if they're saving the day when preventive measures could have been put nonpin place a long ti ago. >> you have a mayor who is an african american, a black man, who is running the city. are you concerned about how the city has been run over all this time? there's so many people who are suffering through this right now. >> i think that -- so a lot of people view the jackson issue as something that jackson has to fix and it's their responsibility to fix. while that is true, the state also has an obligation to its citizens t

but so if you look at other major urban cities, chicago los angeles, you know with similar similar demographicsose cities don't see as many cases go to trial, apparently. yeah that's right. bargain will avoid the court process exactly and even in low level cases say, like misdemeanor dui cases, san francisco likes to take those to trial because they can win those cases they can get not guilty verdicts and guess what. if they don't win at trial? it's usually not that bad of a punishment. oftentimes they get the same result that they were offered to begin with, and it gives their returnees experience in the courtroom. so what it does again is it pushes all these violent felonies with bad fact patterns onto the back burner and we see 5 10 15 year delay you reported almost a 10 year delay in a decade. witnesses can be misplaced or destroyed by accident so much can happen that the case itself won't hold water once it gets there. there isn't a lot of incentive. for speedy trial trial in these cases, so the defendant's wave their speedy trial rights and guess what? they stay in san francisco jail wher

will lead to situations where they are not able to compete with their urban counterparts due to a lack of resources. unlike the cities and urban centers local municipalities typically until you remediate he will not get any development. they deserve credit for recognizing that there is a problem. one way the agency attempted to address this issue is through the establishment of the technical assistance community program. there are six recipients of funding and i understand the offices in west virginia funded the place referred to with each being a slave to a specific region in the country that providers serve as an independent resource assisting applicants with expert assistance and guidance to help them better navigate the process. they serve as an important role facilitating the applications in the communities that lack their own grant writing capacities. so, we are privileged to have with us today someone that has worked with the program and also has worked in west virginia for many years and that is george that serves as the director of the west virginia regional brownfields system centered at marshall university

this is something many of our major urban cities particularly older cities that have not had recent growthre experiencing. this is the reason they are needs to be both state, federal, local action to address these problems nationwide, is that correct? >> yes, sir. >> think it mr. chairman i believe amount of time precooked the gentleman yields back to the chair recognizes the lady from florida for five minutes. >> thank you so much mr. chairman. thank you to all of our witnesses for being with us today. and for being here with i think the sole purpose of solving problems. that it's exactly why i believe we were elected not just to point fingers. pointing fingers help to solve problems let's do that. but we are here to solve problems. i appreciate the remarks of the chairman, the remarks of the ranking member asked the question, how do we let this happen after flints? how do we find ourselves, ourselves in this situation again? it's great to see you as a fellow floridian. you said that probably they were some people when jackson occurred that said that's just jackson. i believe that is prob

city. the most war is urban warfare. ah, architecture becomes really the most important evidence to read the contours of the violence. we can reconstruct the battle itself and what happens by looking very closely at the ruin me the again the than sofi, you to fund this project will forensic architecture to present architectural effect as evidence in legal and political for the major project that we do use in analysis of drone warfare in pakistan, afghanistan eman tamale and gaza. forensic architecture working with the mandate to look at particular strikes and to do as far as we can. accurate reconstructions against which to assess the competing claims about the strikes themselves. in gaza during 20082009. the idea of started employing a kind of a tactics of warning. there was shooting and warning miss on on the roof of building, waiting for about 3 minutes before they demolished the buildings complete. ah, the family is one of the saddest animals horrific instances when you kind of warfare that tries to be legal. the kin

now in the city of annapolis, was one of the biggest le bore tree in 2002 for the development of a new type of urban warfare. he's really was studying not only that city, but how cities operate. ah, they understood, in order to occupy the city the need to invent and moving the city in a different manner. ah, i started to study those tactics which i thought was very architectural. ah many let me finish. so at the low and the marquis slim and you see the fee on my gossip guess if i got settlement i got i got a got m hub seamlessly got cripple at the ne sally fluctuate on your bill. i'm sure she'll most get cool, blah, blah. but what, she'll the whole book. she'll maybe keep her bad sam reconnect theme, then act holding back your what actually doing is they're turning private and public space upside down. the private space becomes the space of circulation and the public space, the space of the street is where the resistance fighters a be killed. i hello. can i miss here? our 1st is a senior architect that lived through these really invasion and he's still in charge 11 years later on the ongoing project

this is something major urban cities, particularly older cities have recent growth that they are experiencingson there needs to be state, federal and local action is that correct? >> yes. >> i believe i'm out of time. >> chair recognizes the gentle lady from florida. >> thank you to all our witnesses for being with think -- being with us today and the sole purpose of solving problems. that is why we were elected too, not just to point fingers. of pointing fingers help solve problems, let's do that but we are here, appreciate the remarks of the chairman, how do we let this happen after flint? ourselves, in this situation again. craig fugate great to see you as a fellow floridian, it is just jackson. from what i heard this morning, we knew, we should have known that jackson was going to happen but when asked about jurisdictions it is just a matter of time. are we going to have a proactive approach to dealing with this or are we going to sit back and let it be a matter of time and say that is just whatever city is next. we know that communities of color, rural and small communities have been lef

it's all about them and really their garden and in the city and urban environment, the garden is thef their indoor environment, their outdoor living room. >> why are you here at this garden core? it's amazing and i volunteer here every year. this is fantastic. it's a beautiful day. you walk around and look at gardens. you meet people that love gardens. it's fantastic. >> the portola garden tour is the last saturday in september every year. mark your calendars every year. you can see us on the website >> one more statement. we are the one. that is our first single that we made. that is our opinion. >> i can't argue with you. >> you are responsible please do not know his exact. [♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] >> i had a break when i was on a major label for my musical career. i took a seven year break. and then i came back. i worked in the library for a long time. when i started working the san francisco history centre, i noticed they had the hippie collection. i thought, if they have a hippie collection, they really need to have a punk collection as well. so i talked to the city archivist who is my

incredibly, especially when asking about rural communities, one of the places that stretches across urban and city and suburban and rural pretty consistently. i think, that has to really beg the question of what walls can be put in place as part of faith-based program to really ensure the art creating preservation and sustainability for that community over time to continue to grow and expand so how are we actually having conversations about things like community ownership co-ops,, clts. they are housing enforcement. and really creating their rental protections. and the homeownership protection that needs to happen in order for place-based policies to be successful. i love that congressman himes said something about celebrating return and i think lauren -- laura and carol both touched on this in different ways. the more we think about success for return on investments, then ultimately, i think new york city has cropped an variety of investments. we have about a $250,000 spread between our lower income and our highest income. there are dealing with a lot of variety if we are defining that in terms o

especially uh metropolitan cities of the subject of the federation where uh, urban councils or city dumast look what we get. the wonderful russian city of tver and now i will say the words, the disgrace of 25 mandates in the city assembly played out and 25 mandates of united russia congratulations monopoly what are you guys doing at all, or what? so, it was in tverskaya in tver that there was a direct ban, uh, on the placement of any outdoor advertising for our party, as if we were not a parliamentary party, as if, uh, we do not support the presidents of the federal military operation, so these 25, but unanimous uh bandits united russia, and i say shame to russia under a multi-party system. yes, shame. well listen, well, well don't like the governor. our party is there. well , at least they would not know the communist party of the liberal democratic party of russia to new people. no, they grabbed everything for themselves, because administrative resources are absolutely tough. there is nothing more than fiery love, which means that united russia is only an administrative resource, and in

city begins. it's all a giant matrix. and in the most urbanized parts of los angeles, you can still find literally thousands of species of plants and animals. heise: the conventional wisdom used to be that cities are biodiversity wastelands, and we're now beginning to rethink that in two major ways. one is that actually, there's a lot of biodiversity in cities, much more so than we had originally known. the other challenge is to think about how we might make this environment that was built by us in terms of buildings, in terms of the parks that we've planted, in terms of the gardens that some of us take care of on a daily basis. how could we make this habitat more hospitable to non-hum species? [coyote barks] [barks] pauly: understanding how species are adapting to urban areas is an area of research that people are really just starting to get serious about studying. things like coyotes and mountain lions and bobcats, species that we may not always think about as being city dwellers but, in fact, with a little bit of research, you realize are actua

urban sprawl. that redefining the space is green habit. singapore is a low lying island in city states. 80 percent of its population live in high rise public housing, resulting in one of the highest population densities in the world. challenges from rapid urbanized asian sea level rise and increasingly chaotic climate is forcing plan as an architect and policy makers to respond to critical questions about how cities in the future will cope with growing demand. despite the growing pressure on space, singapore has been dubbed h's cleanest city. so i've come here to meet some of the people who are helping it earn that title. my 1st stop is the park royal hotel, which bowes, 15000 square meters of greenery and was completed in 2013 by award winning architect, which had hassle the earth now in almost every way as being formed by human activity. though for us as architects, we feel like it's something within our control to the jeff wise. that building projects can also play a much stronger role in june, ship of earth. when you look at like google earth or images from spice, cities are really desert. you
