Urbanism: Peter Calthorpe

In this TED talk, Peter Cartolphe tell us about how the humanity this moment, the persons who have the control to take the big decisions for all of us I mean, are doing the wrong moves, creating big and very bad designed cities, where we can find to many problems, dangerous for us and for the environment, with the sprawl of the cities according a bad regulation, making us be more apart from each other, and our respective jobs, schools, etc. This problem makes to the most of the population to drive long distance to go accomplish their task or just where they want to go, at the same time, with this, we are producing more pollution with the gases of the cars and making the big cities less healthy and worse for us. He talks too about the big building that we are creating and how even with a 30% of the population driving cars or something alike, the cities are designed for them, ignoring the majority of people who doesn’t. The solution that he tells us is to use more the bikes or just walk, to avoid using cars or if we do it to share it to reduce the amount of vehicles in the streets. In some parts of the world there are countries who have cities friendly with bikes, and if that it´s already happening I think that we could that too, and other countries too, with a good design and regulation in the big cities would be possible to solve all these problems, then we could have a better life in better cities, and probably improve our relationship with the other citizens , before it´s too late I hope, I would like to see it.
