Basically, there's a major demographic event going on.

Načelno, dešava se veliki demografski pokret.
00:29
And it may be that passing the 50 percent urban point

3000
Može biti da prešavši 50 posto urbane točke
00:32
is an economic tipping point. So the world now is a map of connectivity.

je ekonomska točka prevrata. Dakle, sadašnji svijet je karta povezanosti.
00:40
It used to be that Paris and London and New York were the largest cities.

Nekada su Pariz i London, i New York bili najveći gradovi.
00:45
What we have now is the end of the rise of the West. That's over.

Ono što imamo sada je kraj uspona zapada. To je završeno.
00:51
The aggregate numbers are overwhelming.

26000
2000
Sakupljeni brojevi su nadmoćni.
00:53
So what's really going on? Well, villages of the world are emptying out.

28000
6000
Pa što se zapravo događa? Sela svijeta se prazne.
01:05
The question is, why?

40000
2000
Pitanje je, zašto?
01:07
And here's the unromantic truth -- and the city air makes you free,

Ovo je neromantična istina - zrak grada vas čini slobodnim,
01:12
they said in Renaissance Germany. So some people go to places

3000
rekli su u renesansnoj Njemačkoj. Tako neki ljudi idu u mjesta
01:15
like Shanghai but most go to the squatter cities where aesthetics rule.
10
50000
6000
poput Šangaja, no većina ide u skvoter gradove u kojima vlada estetika.
01:21
And these are not really a people oppressed by poverty.
11
56000
2000
Uistinu to nisu ljudi ugnjetavani siromaštvom.
01:23
They're people getting out of poverty as fast as they can.
12
58000
3000
To su ljudi koji se izvlače iz siromaštva toliko brzo koliko to mogu.
01:26
They're the dominant builders and to a large extent, the dominant designers.
13
61000
4000
Oni su dominantni graditelji i u velikoj mjeri, i dominantni dizajneri.
01:30
They have home-brewed infrastructure and vibrant urban life.
14
65000
2000
Sadrže domaću infrastrukturu i rezonantni gradski život.
01:32
One-sixth of the GDP in India is coming out of Mumbai.
15
67000
5000
Jedna šestina BDP-a u Indiji dolazi iz Mumbaija.
01:37
They are constantly upgrading, and in a few cases, the government helps.
16

Oni stalno nadograđuju, no samo u nekim slučajeva, vlada pomaže.
01:41
Education is the main event that can happen in cities.
17
76000
3000
Obrazovanje je glavni događaj koji se može desiti u gradovima.
01:44
What's going on in the street in Mumbai?
18
79000
2000
Što se to događa na ulicama Mumbaija?
01:46
Al Gore knows. It's basically everything.

Al Gore zna. Načelno sve.
01:53
There's no unemployment in squatter cities. Everyone works.

88000
3000
Nema nezaposlenosti u skvoter gradovima. Svatko radi.
02:06
One-sixth of humanity is there. It's soon going to be more than that.
21
101000
4000
Jedna šestina čovječanstva je tamo. Uskoro će biti više od toga.
02:10
So here's the first punch line:
22
105000
3000
Dakle ovo je prva poanta.
02:13
cities have defused the population bomb.
23
108000
6000
Gradovi su onemogučili eksploziju stanovništva.
02:19
And here's the second punch line.
24
114000
5000
A ovo je druga poanta.
02:24
That's the news from downtown. Here it is in perspective.
25
119000
3000
To je vijest iz centra grada. Ovdje je u perspektivi.
02:58
Stars have shined down on earth's life for billions of years.
26

3000
Zvijezde su sjale dolje na život na zemlji tijekom milijarda godina.
03:01
Now we're shining right back up.

Sad mi blistamo nazad gore.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Why you should listen
With biotech accelerating four times faster than digital technology, the revival of extinct species is becoming possible. Stewart Brand plans to not only bring species back but restore them to the wild.
Brand is already a legend in the tech industry for things he’s created: the Whole Earth Catalog, The WELL, the Global Business Network, the Long Now Foundation, and the notion that “information wants to be free.” Now Brand, a lifelong environmentalist, wants to re-create -- or “de-extinct” -- a few animals that’ve disappeared from the planet.
Granted, resurrecting the woolly mammoth using ancient DNA may sound like mad science. But Brand’s Revive and Restore project has an entirely rational goal: to learn what causes extinctions so we can protect currently endangered species, preserve genetic and biological diversity, repair depleted ecosystems, and essentially “undo harm that humans have caused in the past.”
