    Here are my answers to the questions I got about this video:
    1. One hundred years ago, what fraction of the world’s population lived in cities?
    *Only two out of ten people lived in a city.*
    2. What led to the development of the first permanent towns and cities?
    *When humans learned farming techniques like irrigation and soil tilling, they could rely on a steady and long-term supply of food. This allowed humans to make permanent towns and cities.*
    3. Where is most of the world’s future population growth expected to happen?
    *Most of the future population growth is expected to happen in the urban areas of the world’s poorest countries.*
    4. List three ways the video says that cities need to change, in order to accommodate future population growth.
    -*The world will need to seek ways to provide adequate food, sanitation, and education for all people.*
    -*Growth will need to happen in a way that does not damage the land.*
    -*Power will need to come from multiple sources of renewable energy.*

      As someone from an urban area of some of the world's poorest countries, I can attest, my city (which was named once here) is expanding f*cking rapidly. The prices of flats have gone up 1.5 times in the last two years in my neighborhood, inflation accounted.

    In summary : Settlements were possible due to agricultural developments. This went further to produce surplus. This surplus could be traded with people who could not produce food and instead produced goods other than food.This trade improved in only some parts of the world and were turned to cities where people came to settle and seek jobs. This went on till Industrial revolution. And now, it will go on developing

    Quite a shallow overview. By avoiding all controversial points about the history of urbanization, this becomes void of meaning. I also got the sense of a linear progression towards its current state, but it was not a smooth line of progression. Many civilizations had interesting approaches to large settlements.

      well, take a simple stuff from the conclusion part of the video, it's so generic that it's most likely true. it's like reading one's horoscop. if they don't provide specifics, they're just stating platitudes. but it's not necessarily the way things will move forward. i.e. this idea that we'll grow foods in pots in our homes is laughable when you think of the total needs of a family during a year and the lack of spacing in current multi-story building (even in developed countries). of all the probable solutions, they pick 2 and one of them doesn't even start to address the issue. and it also doesn't cover other controversial topics, for example, humans are already producing enough food to feed 10 billion people, but a lot of it is wasted...
      and there's the history of urbanisation which I think I covered well with my initial comment, it wasn't a linear progression at all. it's also not a good segue way into the conclusion of the video, it's not even a logical argument for the necessity of these changes (it's actually irrelevant, we have different issues today from 300 years ago or more). it makes little sense considering the ending.

    • @Petey0707
      @Petey0707 9 лет назад +8

      g0lanu I see your point, but this video is really just a broad summary of a possible outcome. It's four minutes long, not an hour long documentary. Details aside, I don't find the probability impossible, but there would need to be a drastic decrease in population and usage of resources.

    • @g0lanu
      @g0lanu 9 лет назад +8

      +eluxsus0195684
      See?! now this is what got me worried about the video: rash conclusions.
      If you only have 4 minutes at your disposal than why waste them with parts that don't connect with each other? Also, by not making a strong case for the issues, how do you even know your conclusions are true?? (and they aren't)... It also gives room for dangerous assumptions, such as "the population would need to decrease to ..." - which are also not true, that is some fear mongering coined 200years ago that was never factually true, nor did it meet the burden of proof or the test of time. The population kept increasing and we kept finding new ways to deal with the situation.
      Whatever the problem is, a population decrease would either imply a calamity of catastrophic proportions or genocid - so this can't be it's solution. Any reasonable solution needs to consider an ever increase of the population (that will cap out at some point if we do manage to increase income per capita, education and health) and the solution to those actual problems that such a trend implies.... and they're all in our grasp, if we're honest.

    Most of the growth will occur in the urban areas of the world’s poorest countries
    3. How will cities need to change to accommodate this growth?
    First the world will need to seek ways to provide adequate food sanitation and education for all people second, growth will need to happen in a way that does not damage the land that provides us with the goods and services that support the human population

    • @xesolor
      @xesolor 8 лет назад +7

      City states like Singapore aren't self-sustaining genius, Singapore is the executive of a company and require a huge network underneath it to flow in capital or physical goods like food! London flourishes because the capital of the rest of the UK flows disproportionately into London, same goes for Shanghai, Tokyo, Seoul, Berlin etc etc. You think every rural village can become a city state? Every farmer as affluent as urban bankers? Capitalism is by definition a pyramid, if everybody becomes a city state then competition would drive them all tribal, with no one actually producing the basic raw goods that people at the top take for granted!

    • @kkknotcool
      @kkknotcool 8 лет назад +1

      city states will make the raw goods and much better than villages. On say a modern farm, the main job of a farmer is to fix machinery and have a good understanding of plants. Now lets say we have a guy with a Bachelors degree a lab and a drone which goes out and gets samples. That is a far better way of knowing what to do than going out with the 4 wheeler and taking notes on what plants look like in different parts of the field. So know we have a man who can care for the well being of 1000x as many acres of plants as before and he must choose where to live. He will want to live in the city were he can buy what he needs and go to movies and do all the other things people do in cities and all this comes at the small cost of a bit more energy in a tiny drone. Technology is allowing people to live were they want(usually the city) more and more with every innovation.(no matter how they help the economy, banker or farmer or steel worker)

    • @xesolor
      @xesolor 8 лет назад +1

      kkknotcool
      Do you... know how food is harvested and transported across the world?
      1 - Certain foods require certain climates. People today take food from all across the globe as granted, ignoring the huge amount of logistics and manpower required to get that one flipping mango or coffee to in front of your face in fresh condition.
      2 - If your solution is to "use technology" as the deus ex machina of everything, then greenhouses still require raw material and energy to construct and maintain environments not of the local climate! Creating something that isn't there doesn't come for free!
      3 - Do you think entire hectares of farmland will be picked clean by a tiny drone? Do you know how many flipping people are on the planet and how fast we're reproducing? You're underestimating stuff *a bit* aren't you?
      Lastly, your lovely technology is funded by and depends on, hello, capitalism! In an utopian world we'd all adopt the newest tech and spread it around the globe, but patents and conglomerate monopoly, as seen in the pharmaceutical industry, don't work on our altruistic ideals do they?
      Buddy tech doesn't solve everything, and in certain cases, leads to even more control, as opposed to freedom.

    • @kkknotcool
      @kkknotcool 8 лет назад

      Da ve To your first statement. Yes, different foods are grown in different climates but I can never eat a pineapple again and be fine for the rest of my life in turns of diet. Most people can grow everything they need in the climate they live in.
      To your second statement. yes things cost money and no, not every problem is solved by technology. If somewhere the food was not plentiful enough to make it economically then people would just move to where food is or that city would buy food from another city to keep the valuable population.
      To your third statement, NO I do not think the flying drones will harvest crops, but people don't harvest staple crops like corn anymore ether. The combines do almost all the work with human supervising.(A farmers job is mostly mechanic nowadays, believe me I live in the country)
      You should really make a million dollars then complain about capitalism. Almost every American can make a million dollars if they want and you will learn a lot about how markets work if you try.

      You know, we still live in the age of scarcity, a.k.a. stuff don't randomly generate out of nothing ad infinitum. that goes for physical goods like food and raw material, and that goes for economic concepts like money.
      By the laws of socioeconomics if everybody's a millionaire, NOBODY IS, inflation?
      So as one accumulates disproportionate amount of wealth, others will invariably suffer for it. If it's post-scarcity then it's another matter entirely, but have you invented molecular reorganisers yet?
      In the pursuit of wealth, education is key, yet if all schools are prestigious, no one is!
      In the accumulation of wealth, if you're paid a millionaire's salary, can all your workers get the same?
      Again, bit naive about socioeconomics?
      Reagan and Thatcher's laissez-faire attitudes are as old as civilisation itself, and they have been debunked plenty of times.
      So why does it persist?
      *Because you are a lottery-buyer, so claims everybody have equal chances, but there will invariably be just a few winners, and if all receive equal shares of the jackpot, then there are no winners are there?*
      Perhaps you should study economics 101 before you condescendingly ask others to do the same...

    I do agree that cities will develop like this. Not denying that
    Although if world population does top at just 10 billion we could(and probably still will to some extent) live like we are now, with plenty of individual family homes. The only thing we 'need' to change is long-term energy solutions and vertical farming techniques. Outside of that, we're kind of covered - there's lots of space and as communication and transportation improve the need to live in a closely populated and dense space just isn't needed.
    Factories require fewer people to run and manage them as automation is constantly improving, software engineers, IT jobs and even accountants can work from home if they have a company laptop and good internet.
    With how things are going, urbanization is actually becoming less required, one day we may even see it go backwards if we can improve transportation enough.

    3. The future is we need to take care of everyone. The future is diverse
    4. They need to provide food for everyone, sanitation, and education

    We're far from building in the deep ocean, but even now some hotels have underwater rooms (Utter Inn, Jules' Undersea Lodge). An underwater city will probably start at the water's edge or surface, then slowly spread as technology allows further construction.
    As for floating cities... don't hold your breath. Until relatively free levitation technology comes along, it will always be easier to build on the ground.

    Indeed the world has urbanized to a greater degree with such exponentially growing in the past few centuries. We should also note that it wasn't just people flocking to cities but also how major cities continued forming everywhere. The growth of suburban areas can be argued as urbanization in many ways since they expanded the borders of cities yet such can also be argued as reducing urbanization since people did such to escape the center of cities and even fled for little urbanized areas. I see the populations of regions more centralizing but what the new geographic models of living and working spaces will be along with how people will live is purely speculation and such might be today an unfathomable model!

    We've been running the same society for centuries with expectations of massive change like a messiah of city construction. The truth is we rely on massive corporations and behave as animals when in the face of organized corruption.
    The definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over again with the expectation of different results.
    We can conclude that society is simply insane, if we want to change the world we must change our corporations which are entities, not people ...

    I agree. In America the government pays subsidies to farmers for them to not plant crops to keep market prices high. Farmers also throw away crops with minor imperfections. If we could bring about a world peace then that would allow the economies of minor countries to stabilize and grow and have greater access to world trade.

    If you say that most of this tremendous growth will happen in urban areas of the most poorest countries, then I would like to believe that most of the solutions or rather changes in the way things are done won't happen in the 'poor' countries. These changes that you state fit to the developed countries. Developing countries hence need to create their own solution to accommodate this forthcoming growth. That's challenge to people who live in the developing nations me included.

    I really don't know why this vertical farming idea is so popular. Ultimately, area is a restriction for farming not because of the amount of space for plants to grow but because of the amount of sunlight an area gets. Cities are tiny compared to the area needed to support them so building vertical farms in those cities might or might not be financially viable but ultimately, it's just not a solution to anything.

    Reading is great, but watching videos is a far more efficient and effective way to learn about topics like this. Education needs to be tailored more around the needs of students and what will be optimal for productive learning instead of blindly following tradition, i.e., using text to communicate all information.

    but 10.000 years ago, our ancestors began to learn the secrets of selective breeding and early agricultural techniques
    for the first time, people could raise food rather than search for it, and this led to the development of semi-chronic backaches and other annoying illnesses.

    There have been pilot projects in... I think it was Atlanta and/or San Francisco, with skyscraper(s) fitted with solar panels, wind turbines, small-scale farms for the inhabitants etc etc. It wasn't an absolute solution, they didn't get completely self-sufficient, but it shows how much can be done with small means, if you really want to.
