Do We Like Massive Constructions in Tbilisi? | Nino Shubladze | TEDxIBEuropeanSchool


hello everyone before I start with my
presentation I just wanted to show you a
couple of pictures this is this sad
reality of our sister Lisa’s present day
I think every single one of you will
agree with me about the fact that these
chaotic and unorganized constructions
that are going on are one of the biggest
problems that we are facing but it was
not always like that usual mess of
instructions and the city are caused by
urbanization so what is urbanization
it’s the increase in the population in
the urban areas versus rural areas why
Aviles who first started expanding it
was being built
considering the landscape and climate
the arrangement of the buildings ensured
good ventilation so but these teams of
fresh air could be freely spread around
the city
there were narrow streets which had
trees planted around and there are
largely areas with parks and gardens to
ensure that ecological balance the
historical sources portray our cities
surrounded with parks and gardens and
forests
but what we have now according to the
latest survey about World Health
Organization is that our city was named
as one of the most polluted cities in
the world this is what he used to
attract this is this next picture that I
want to show you and this is actual of
the area where and I live near the
sports palace and when I compare this to
pictures it just makes me sad because
you see how it used to look like and
what it looks like now and you see this
beautiful park with a beautiful greenery
and now it has been turned into parking
spots for restaurants and a supermarket
this is another one of the pictures of
that area where I live and you see the
first picture with greenery and parks
and
and the next fiction you see that the
sparks have been replaced by
constructions so there are a lot of
problems that we can talk about but
today I want to mention some of them for
example pollution does disturbance and
noise pollution viscosity of a parking
space traffic jam changing the
aesthetics of the city and discharging
cities historical appearance absence of
yards gardens and playgrounds and the
destruction of cities ecosystem it is
very important to keep all this problems
that I have mentioned about under
control because it has a huge impact on
every single one of us one of the most I
think the most important problem and
everyone will agree with me is pollution
urbanization on one hand improves our
living conditions but only other hand in
midst of a portion of a major pollution
itself increases chemical physical and
psychological burden on a human body one
building big cities big cities already
changed every single component of the
natural environment such as flora fauna
terrain and atmosphere the next problem
that I want to talk about is
construction to dust so what is
construction does it’s the type of the
death that we may come across during the
construction works and regularly
breathing this types of substances can
cause serious damage to your health as I
have already mentioned I live in the
area where there are a lot of
constructions going on and I already
feel like my lungs are filled with dust
it gets the most annoying it’s summer
when we can’t open the window or the
door to the balcony because we’re afraid
but the death is going to come to our
house I have some of the solutions here
for example one of them is using newest
and eco fala technology as well as
better and higher quality materials it
is also essential for the government to
congratulations on the
action companies so they don’t reduce as
much pollution as in for construction
does I have one of the solutions here
for example we could use water out of
countries already use this very easy
method they just spray water on dust
clouds and it dampens them down but the
water needs to be used correctly okay so
this noise
it’s snores that I have already gotten
used to the snores that sounds like
music to my ears already sound that I
hear all the time I think in all our the
guests what I’m going to talk about the
construction noise and noise pollution
the construction noise has a huge impact
on every single one of our lives and the
worst fact if that our city doesn’t have
the exact information about what kind of
negative impact it has on us but we have
every single one of us knows that it has
bad impacts such as it can interrupt our
everyday activities it can cause a
serious damage to our health our hearing
sense and also many other problems well
I hear this notes every day and when I
come home for example and I try to sit
down to my homework study I cannot
because this noise is interrupting me
even on the weekends when I wake up
trying to have a calm day of productive
day read a book or do my homework again
I cannot because all I hear is this
noise I have some of the solutions here
for example one of them the easiest
method is building temporary / ears it’s
a really good solution because at the
same time it’s very cheap and it is very
easy to build the next solution that I
have already mentioned is using modern
equipment which is eco-friendly and at
the same time it is much quieter okay so
now tell me how many of you spend most
of your day stuck in the traffic jam or
looking for the parking spot to park
your car I think most of you do
so my next problem that I want to talk
about is traffic jams and the scars
your parking space usually this type of
problem is caused by this houses there
are bills so close to each other here I
have some of the examples here’s one
picture and here is another one this
house are built so close to each other
that there is no more space for parking
spots so the residents have to park
their cars outside on the streets or
sometimes even in the places where it’s
prohibited such as yards Gardens and
playgrounds which brings us to the next
problem which is of course absence of
yards gardens and playgrounds horror
paradoxical it may sound people who are
buying their apartments in this cramped
buildings prefer to have the bigger and
better living quarters them and they
don’t actually think about the public
space you know as a kid I used to love
going outside and playing on the
playground fun games I loved playing
games with my mates on the playgrounds
but now when I look outside my window I
don’t see any more kids playing on the
playgrounds instead there are cars
parked there and for some lucrative
reasons this construction countries
prefer to buy smaller land and build
higher houses which results is something
that I decided to metaphorically call a
construction channel our historical city
that has survived through centuries and
preserved its history culture and
traditions which has reflected in its
architecture has spawned that they did
to the construction companies has fallen
victim to the construction companies I
think it is very important for every
single one of us to stand up speak up
for our own rights and fight for example
when they started building a house in
front of my house they decided to build
a 24 floor house and I was of course
very against it but when I said that we
should speak up when he’s told that to
my neighbors that we should speak up we
should fight for our rights I was rather
a letter to the
they told me that I was too young to
care about the staffs of things and that
I should stay calm but now what we have
now is that every single one of my
neighbors are complaining that they
don’t like the fact that there is
construction does that there is noise
they don’t like the fact that our view
is flogged there was no more ventilation
but we did a fight when we had to fight
so I hope that with my speech I gave you
the inspiration to fight for your rights
to save our historical city thank you for your attention
