Cities are engines of culture, commerce, knowledge and community, but they're also centers of inequality and poverty. As the world rebuilds from the coronavirus pandemic, can we transform cities into bastions of equity and sustainability? Architect and educator Vishaan Chakrabarti discusses a new urban agenda that provides equitable housing, health care and transportation for all — and helps build cities rooted in our desire to connect at a human level. "We need a new narrative of generosity, not austerity," he says. (This virtual conversation, hosted by TED arts and design curator Chee Pearlman and head of curation Helen Walters, was recorded June 10, 2020.)

We the people are gaining progressive traction. Better to react to something as simple as a picture, rather than looking (listening) to the information presented.
If you like something, STICK to it. Things changes. Currently, 116 Likes, 60 dislikes, 1317 views, 51 comments, and things changing!
Word!
Equity is a loaded term.
9/11 is a loaded term.
Community is a loaded term.
Intersectional is a loaded term.
Systemic is a loaded term.
My nuts are loaded. Is that ok? Or do you need a safe space?
First and foremost if I’m to feel included in a new community/city area I’m gonna insist on happy colored squares everywhere. It’s a instant no deal if it doesn’t mirror the thumbnail of this video.
Vote out current city officials… you know what party I speak of.
Bharatiya Janta Party?
@Swastik Raj Ghosh Lol
Republicans and BJP are both crap
Depends on the city there smart guy. Both political parties are a home for the brainwashed idiots that plague our society, like you.
Step one; dont live in cities
run by Democrats
This just morphs into ideology…. again..,….and all of these points need to disregard some blatant awkward facts about the people occupying certain spaces and how that will affect the whole plan. Potentially drastically.
well, what were the results after doing extensive Cities Skylines simulations, and what did the sims have to say about it?
blm is a marketing tool used by corporations to expand their brand by using compassion babble to sell you products.
What’s with that colored squares?
Squares of color you bigot!
Wrong perspective. Adults acting like adults is what’s needed. Politics without cash is what’s needed. People being responsible for their life choices is what’s needed. Blaming a 6-month pandemic for ills of civilization is obviously a grab for appropriation of limited resources.
R-E-S-P-O-N-S-I-B-I-L-I-T-Y Responsibility !!! RESPONSIBILITY!
BE, Accountable. Be Respectful ’till disrespect is earned’. BE DIRECT AND STRAIGHTFORWARD IF YOU DON’T KNOW DON’T SPEAK!
@Andrew Pratt explain xculturalism = corporate.
Secondly, multiculturalism was never a means to an end. It was just a by product from economic drive.
Example is the USA.
The Red Indians and blacks did not come into the equation like the majority of Asians did later on.
The question of multiculturalism working or not, evil or otherwise becomes a moot viewpoint in the cases above.
The multiculturalism in the US today has more to do with a need to maintain its scientific and technological lead. It does this by poaching the creme della creme from around the world.
Compare that to the rest of the world where in most cases multiculturalism is a direct relic of the UKs colonialism labour needs or arbitrary carved out borders of new countries that was a direct result of colonialism. In otherwords the old world order collapsed overnight and brown yellow blue and black fellas suddenly found themselves in a foreign land under a alien flag often as neighbours with hostile natives.
Nope.
Dislikes stagnating while the likes skyrocket? Some trickery is at work here.
stop noticing things
R-E-S-P-O-N-S-I-B-I-L-I-T-Y Responsibility !!! RESPONSIBILITY! RESPONSIBLE!!!!!

3 minutes in “narrative, social contract
,agenda ” yup more of the same so far.
Stop pandering to huge companies? While Walmart is months in finally following guidelines… mom and pop shops that did follow, were shut down. Now, those loosing their businesses will be mixed into all.
The stunt Walmart pulled is like asking for condoms at the baby shower!
Huge companies do it because they are allowed to get away with it. Take Apple… news states they’ll give a twenty five dollar refund for forcing you to buy new phone, slowing current phone down. Apple phones are way more expensive than refund. Their refund is like using a coupon, not what it should have been
Equity, as in, everyone living subsistence level
The following words are the most frequent terms in the video. It was created automatically to give an idea of the content of the video.
urban, city, housing, berkeley, infrastructure, equity agenda, mobility, narrative, attainable
Why is it those with an elitist attitude and appearance always want us to be subservient to government? Socialism for thee but not me.
Everyone loves to bike on hills, in the rain, in the snow, in high winds, in the dark, in high heat….don’t we?
You shouldnt live in a city to begin with. We need to be on the productive land.
