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

1000
3000
Pada dasarnya, ada peristiwa demografis besar yang sedang terjadi.
00:29
And it may be that passing the 50 percent urban point
1
4000
3000
Dan mungkin saja saat 50 persen penduduk dunia tinggal di kota
00:32
is an economic tipping point. So the world now is a map of connectivity.
2

8000
adalah titik balik ekonomi. Jadi dunia sekarang adalah peta dari keterhubungan.
00:40
It used to be that Paris and London and New York were the largest cities.
3
15000
5000
Dulu, Paris dan London dan New York adalah kota-kota terbesar.
00:45
What we have now is the end of the rise of the West. That's over.
4
20000
6000
Namun sekarang adalah akhir perkembangan dunia Barat. Sudah selesai.
00:51
The aggregate numbers are overwhelming.
5
26000
2000
Jumlah angkanya menakjubkan.
00:53
So what's really going on? Well, villages of the world are emptying out.
6
28000
6000
Jadi apa yang sebenarnya terjadi? Desa-desa di seluruh dunia menjadi semakin sepi.
01:05
The question is, why?
7
40000
2000
Pertanyaannya adalah, mengapa?
01:07
And here's the unromantic truth -- and the city air makes you free,
8
42000
5000
Dan inilah kenyataan yang tidak indah -- udara kota membuat anda bebas,
01:12
they said in Renaissance Germany. So some people go to places
9
47000
3000
itulah yang dikatakan di Jerman pada jaman Renaissance. Jadi beberapa orang pergi ke kota
01:15
like Shanghai but most go to the squatter cities where aesthetics rule.
10
50000
6000
seperti Shanghai, namun sebagian besar menjadi penghuni liar yang merusak keindahan kota.
01:21
And these are not really a people oppressed by poverty.
11
56000
2000
Mereka bukan benar-benar orang yang tertekan oleh kemiskinan.
01:23
They're people getting out of poverty as fast as they can.
12
58000
3000
Mereka adalah orang-orang yang ingin keluar dari kemiskinan secepat mungkin.
01:26
They're the dominant builders and to a large extent, the dominant designers.
13
61000
4000
Mereka adalah para pembangun yang menonjol, sebagian besar desainer handal.
01:30
They have home-brewed infrastructure and vibrant urban life.
14
65000
2000
Mereka memiliki pengalaman kehidupan di desa dan kota.
01:32
One-sixth of the GDP in India is coming out of Mumbai.
15
67000
5000
Seperenam PDB India berasal dari Mumbai.
01:37
They are constantly upgrading, and in a few cases, the government helps.
16
72000
4000
Mereka terus-menerus meningkatkan kemampuan, dan pada beberapa kasus, pemerintah ikut membantu.
01:41
Education is the main event that can happen in cities.
17
76000
3000
Pendidikan adalah peristiwa utama yang dapat terjadi di perkotaan.
01:44
What's going on in the street in Mumbai?
18
79000
2000
Apa yang terjadi di jalanan Mumbai?
01:46
Al Gore knows. It's basically everything.
19
81000
7000
Al Gore tahu. Pada dasarnya segalanya.
01:53
There's no unemployment in squatter cities. Everyone works.
20
88000
3000
Tidak ada pengangguran di kota-kota besar. Semuanya bekerja.
02:06
One-sixth of humanity is there. It's soon going to be more than that.
21
101000
4000
Seperenam umat manusia tinggal di sana. Dan sebentar lagi angkanya akan lebih dari itu.
02:10
So here's the first punch line:
22
105000
3000
Jadi inilah poin penting pertama.
02:13
cities have defused the population bomb.
23
108000
6000
Kota telah menekan ledakan penduduk.
02:19
And here's the second punch line.
24
114000
5000
Dan inilah poin penting kedua
02:24
That's the news from downtown. Here it is in perspective.
25
119000
3000
Inilah berita dari pusat kota. Inilah dia di dalam perspektif.
02:58
Stars have shined down on earth's life for billions of years.
26
153000
3000
Bintang-bintang telah menyinari kehidupan di Bumi selama miliaran tahun.
03:01
Now we're shining right back up.
27
156000
2000
Sekarang kita akan kembali bersinar.
03:11
Thank you.

Terima kasih.
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.”
