Eduardo Paes: The 4 commandments of cities

TED 2012
Eduardo Paes: The 4 commandments of cities (script)
Summary
This is the talk that Japanese people must listen to. It's because the speaker is a mayor of Rio de Janeiro city in Brazil where was chosen as the 31st Olympic and in Japan, Tokyo is chosen as 32nd Olympic. He said in the talk that you don't always have to be rich or powerful to get things done. You can find original ways to get things done with some basic commandments. You can really get cities to be a great place to live.
Firstly, what his city did was creating a place where people could meet. From now, a city of the future has to be environmentally friendly. Green is really needed.
Secondly, it's important that people can move easily. Among rising population, it's thought that transportation is spending lots of lots of money though the Bus Rapid Transit is spending much less money and moving much faster.
Thirdly, you can remove a problem of favelas and change it to completely urbanized. Favela means a city in Brazil where it is very poor and crowded though you bring in the basic services which are education and health. By using high -quality technology, a city can be socially integrated.
Fourthly, you can use like the operations center with technology that is the system which you can know and administrate the city but you don't need to be there anymore.
The beautiful city has been left and by using technology, a city can integrate socially its citizens and care about its all citizens. This is a city of the future.
In Japan, old buildings were demolished without fixing because workers can get the benefit but the government only think how they use the budget that is tax we citizens paid...
Words in this story
integration / synthesis, unification
