hi how are you
I hope that well
I want to ask you a question have you
noticed that the city is increasingly
full of people have noticed that no
have had the feeling that the city
it seems sometimes saturated with people today
seeing some cities is quite
difficult to walk on a path is
practically an odyssey because or step
the things of some street vendor or
maybe you’re playing every so often with another
person or in one of those you get hit by a
cyclist and let alone for example
try to get on the subway that is a
I work more practically in some
cities like for example santiago the
another day for example I delayed
exactly 45 minutes only in
try to get on a subway car in
santiago between pushes between grips
I managed to climb obviously but I’ve
stuck like that on the door
while traveling inside the train
sweated as if he were in a kind
of sauna a kind of Turkish bath
Obviously they realize they do not lose weight
but nevertheless
every time the train filled more and more
and in an inversely related
proportionally the station to which
down came closer and closer and
then a new power dilemma arose
get me down
I became then a kind of
a plastic or rubber I do not know and I managed to avoid
to the people and I managed to lower the dilemma
always if people let you go down
the motto of the city seems to be today
if you do not push do not get off and notice that
this motto
if you do not push do not get off it seems
also apply in other instances
if you do not push you do not advance in the
supermarket every time the supermarket
is more crowded sometimes gives the
feeling that people
they will pay for being 24 hours in the
supermarket one wonders what does
both the people in the supermarket one go
suddenly to buy something and I can not
They send me to buy red and I delayed
more than the account enter the rice
the city seems very saturated
according to the un
in 2050 70 percent of the
world population will be concentrated
in mega cities mega cities is to say
places with a high concentration of people
imagine a current mega city as
Tokyo that has 36 million
inhabitants 36 million inhabitants is
say 14 million more than all the
population of chile as a whole
the growth of the city
we probably will not be able to stop it
because because among other things people
is getting closer and closer to the
urban poles looking for better
life expectancy more options
work and more opportunities there we have
the case for example of migration
massive lived at a global level is a
phenomenon that is there and that
it’s probably going to translate into
cities increasingly large
but notice that there is another phenomenon
related to the growth of
city that is also important
to consider
Today we seem to be increasingly
interconnected with other experts but
however as the city grows
the levels of trust between
people decrease noticeably as
there are more people in the cities
people trust each other less in the
case of style for example only 13%
of people says trust other
according to the OECD only 13%
nowadays we have certain platforms that
they allow us to change a large amount
of information and yet it seems that
we are hidden from each other the
platforms and applications we
they serve to hide us from others
when you for example know
really to some of your neighbors
how many of you for example know the
less two of the people who
In charge of basic services in the
places where you study not
they work
how many of you for example at least
meets a person with which
find daily in your routine towards
the work or the place of study
today much easier and true
people speak more for whatsapp than in
person
Mom I send you a whatsapp in a while more
my children tell me I love you
whatsapp sometimes
yes or no that happens today people
has more virtual friends than friends of
there is truly a disconnection
it seems that the copy paste of friends is
something much more frequent is true the
people compete for virtual friends
today then it is much easier for
example to like someone who is
far through through
facebook to see if someone near
you need our help
the city of the future will face three
essential dilemmas
first they are going to be big cities with
many people a lot of people but
also look at a lot of people
that does not trust each other and apart
number of people who do not conscious yes and
that also does not communicate with each other
the question then is
what do we do, many say that
looming a kind of apocalypse
urban a hecatomb of the cities
where they will be increasingly difficult
life at the citizen level that is going to
be life increasingly difficult between
the people and probably probably the
social conflict will increase so
exponential I sometimes believe it when I
tried to get off the subway but the
question is what can we do
from our humble individuality with
regarding that phenomenon
the cities
in the history that have prevailed have
been those cities that have
boosted creativity among its
citizens who have allowed a
flow of creativity between people
because in the background when there is a flow
of creativity people seek
solutions in different ways to the
challenges that they face in their
cities and you should not think only about
athens or in vienna in sillicon valley and
when we think of the big cities
but you also have to think for example
in Castro in Chiloé where people
they also look for solutions to
problems that face so
absolutely creative
the question then is how do we create or
we generate that creativity structure
why is it so important this
question because in the background
creativity is probably going to be the
most necessary infrastructure for
21st century cities
the cities that do not have that
infrastructure will perish
they are probably going to be unable to
coordinate to find solutions and go
to be probably unable to achieve
solve the problems and conflicts that
that challenge implies
and then the question that we have to
to ask us is what can we do
face that challenge how can we
promote creativity as the basis
structure of future cities of the
21st century
this forces a change of mentality to
a change in the paradigm with respect to
the city but essentially to what
we understand how the citizen
First of all you have to understand that
the value of the city is not in the
infrastructure
it’s not in urban megalomania is not
in large buildings the value of the
city is in people when
we look out the window
ever admire the city for the
true window looks at the streets by the
window when we do that who what
we see what we look at, look at the
people who give life to the street
hg wells said when he visits san
Petersburg 1920 that the empty streets
of that city and its empty shop windows
they took away all sense of the city
because there were no people
the photo that is behind me is a
city that does not make any sense in itself
because the sense of the city and the
value of the city we give for
that the fear for example to a city
zombie where there is nobody
secondly what you have to understand
is that the perfect city does not exist
we’re never going to have a city then it’s
impossible to create a perfect city and
the cities or mega cities of the future
they will not be perfect either because
because the infallible urbanist does not exist
that can plan the perfect city
that’s why it’s important that we
let’s adopt an active position and therefore
creative in the face of that challenge and not
passive as today is posed in many
Sometimes that requires us then
understand that
you have to change the concept of
citizen
the concept to the citizen who has
prevailed by I would dare if some
two centuries and that is also related
with the scope of the urban is that of
passive subject who expects the
authority
run solutions for cities
the concept of the citizen is that in
where the solutions come from above
and we simply hope that the
big brains solve the issues
but we are vectors of
creativity we are not passive subjects
we can think of solutions
for our most immediate environments the
concept then of creativity not
implies that we leave the role of citizens
passive and assume an active role not only
in solving the problems more
immediate with our environment but in
share the solutions with others in
that gigantic city we have the
tools to do it we have to
use them properly
and finally
understanding that change then
we must understand then what
creativity is going to be the basis
structural of the cities of the future
because because the structural base is
each of us is us
the vectors to make cities
of the future best cities many
