Sasa, kipi kinakosekana kwenye mdahalo huu mkubwa ni

Now, what's missing from the larger debate

mnyambulisho wa faida madhubuti kati ya na sio kurekebisha

Sasa hebu tuweke hii sawa. Mimi sipingi maendeleo.
13:32
Now let's get this straight:
I am not anti-development.
I am not anti-development.
280
787974
3199
Sehemu yetu ni jiji, na sio hifadhi ya mbuga. Na nimeukumbatia ubepari ulio ndani yangu.
13:35
Ours is a city, not a wilderness preserve.
281
791197
2408
13:38
And I've embraced my inner capitalist.

793629
3039
Na siajabu wote mnayo pia ndani yenu, na kama hamna, mnahitaji kuwa nayo.

And, but I don't have --

You probably all have,
and if you haven't, you need to.
and if you haven't, you need to.
285

(Kicheko). Kwa hiyo sina tatizo na waendelezaji kutengeneza pesa.
13:47
(Laughter)
286
802462
3770
13:51
So I don't have a problem
with developers making money.

jumuia zisizo na usemi kwa ajili ya faida.
Hii ikiendelea ni aibu kwetu sote,
14:13
That it continues is a shame upon us all,
294
829191
2848
kwasababu sote tunawajibika kwa maisha tunayoyatengeneza.
14:16
because we are all responsible
for the future that we create.

295
832063
2941
Lakini kitu kimoja ninachofanya kujikumbusha juu ya uwezekano mkubwa ni kujifunza kutoka kwa wajuzi kwenye miji mingine.
14:19
But one of the things I do
to remind myself of greater possibilities,

is to learn from visionaries
in other cities.

Haya ni maoni yangu juu ya utandawazi.

Hebu tuiangalie Bogota. Masikini, Latino, imezungukwa na wahalifu wenye silaha

Let's take Bogota.

14:28
Poor, Latino, surrounded by
runaway gun violence and drug trafficking;
runaway gun violence and drug trafficking;

a reputation not unlike
that of the South Bronx.
that of the South Bronx.
301
847887
2838
Lakini, jiji lilibarikiwa mwishoni mwa miaka ya 1990
14:35
However, this city was blessed
in the late 1990s

with a highly-influential
mayor named Enrique Peñalosa.

kwa kuwa na meya mwenye ushawishi aliyeitwa Enrique Penalosa.
Aliangalia demographics.

He looked at the demographics.
304
858048
1781
Wabogota wachaceh walikuwa na magari, lakini rasilimali kubwa ya jiji ilikuwa imetengwa kuwahudumia wao.
14:44
Few Bogotanos own cars,
305
859853
1731
14:46
yet a huge portion of the city's resources
was dedicated to serving them.

306
861608

Uwapo meya, waweza kufanya kitu fulani.
14:50
If you're a mayor, you can
do something about that.

307
865670

Uongozi wake ulipunguza thoroughfares za manispaa kutoka njia tano mpaka tatu,
14:52
His administration narrowed key municipal
thoroughfares from five lanes to three,
thoroughfares from five lanes to three,
308
868079
4256
ikapiga marufuku kupaki katika mitaa hiyo, ikapanua njia za watembea kwa miguu

outlawed parking on those streets,
309
872359

14:59
expanded pedestrian walkways
and bike lanes,

Kwa juhudi zake nzuri, alikuwa karibu avuliwe madaraka.
15:08
For his brilliant efforts,
he was nearly impeached.

314
883801

Lakini jinsi watu walivyoanza kuona kuwa wao wanapewa kipaumbele kwenye masuala mbalimbali
15:12
But as people began to see
that they were being put first

15:16
on issues reflecting
their day-to-day lives,

yanayohusu shughuli zao za kila siku, mambo mazuri yakatokea.
15:18
incredible things happened.
317
894150
1331
Watu waliacha kutupa taka ovyo. Uhalifu ulipungua.
15:20
People stopped littering.
318
895505
1392
15:21
Crime rates dropped, because the streets
were alive with people.
were alive with people.
319
896921
3885
Kwasababu mitaa ilikuwa imejaa watu.
Uongozi wake ulipigana na matatizo mbalimbali ya mijini moja baada ya jingine,
15:25
His administration attacked several
typical urban problems at one time,
typical urban problems at one time,
320
900830

na katika bajeti ya dunia ya tatu.
15:29
and on a third-world budget, at that.

Hatuna visingizio kwenye nchi hii. Samahani.
15:31
We have no excuse
in this country, I'm sorry.
in this country, I'm sorry.
322
906868
2699
Lakini cha muhimu ni, ajenda yao ya kuwaweka watu kwanza haikumaanisha
15:34
But the bottom line is:
their people-first agenda

323
909591
2841
15:37
was not meant to penalize
those who could actually afford cars,
those who could actually afford cars,
324
912456
3914
kuwapiga faini wale wasio kuwa na uwezo wa kuwa na magari,
bali kutoa fursa kwa wabogota kushiriki
15:41
but rather, to provide opportunities
for all Bogotanos to participate
for all Bogotanos to participate

916394

katika maendeleo ya jiji. Maendeleo hayo yasije kwa expense

in the city's resurgence.
326
920283
1622
15:46
That development should not come
327
921929

Sikiliza - nilipoongea na Bw. Gore juzi baada ya kifungua kinywa,
16:42
Listen -- when I spoke to Mr. Gore
the other day after breakfast,
the other day after breakfast,
346
977869
3945
nilimuuliza wakereketwa wa haki za mazingira watawekwa wapi
16:46
I asked him how environmental justice
activists were going to be included

981838
4748
katika mkakati wake mpya.
16:51
in his new marketing strategy.
348
986610
2226
Jibu lake lilikuwa ni programu ya misaada.
16:53
His response was a grant program.
349
988860
2308
Sidhani kama alielewa kuwa nilikuwa siombi msaada.
16:57
I don't think he understood
that I wasn't asking for funding.
that I wasn't asking for funding.
350
992692

Nilikuwa nampa ofa. (makofi).

What troubled me was that this
top-down approach is still around.

Kilichonisumbua ni kwamba huu mtazamo wa juu-chini bado upo.
Sasa, msinielewe vibaya, tunahitaji pesa. (kicheko).
17:20
Now, don't get me wrong, we need money.

1015260
1890
17:21
(Laughter)

17:23
But grassroots groups
are needed at the table

356
1018610

Lakini vikundi vya grassroots vinahitajika wakati wa kufanya maamuzi.
17:27
during the decision-making process.
357
1022741

Kati ya asilimia 90 ya nguvu tunazopoteza kila siku ambayo Bw. Gore alitukumbusha,
17:30
Of the 90 percent of the energy
that Mr. Gore reminded us

358
1025583
4044
17:34
that we waste every day,
359
1029651

hajumuishi kupoteza nguvu zetu, akili
17:35
don't add wasting our energy, intelligence
360

1051436
2375
18:00
By working together,
365
1055628

tunaweza kuwa moja ya vikundi vidogo vinavyokuwa haraka

we can become one of those small,

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Majora Carter - Activist for environmental justiceMajora Carter redefined the field of environmental equality, starting in the South Bronx at the turn of the century. Now she is leading the local economic development movement across the USA.
Why you should listen
Majora Carter is a visionary voice in city planning who views urban renewal through an environmental lens. The South Bronx native draws a direct connection between ecological, economic and social degradation. Hence her motto: "Green the ghetto!"
With her inspired ideas and fierce persistence, Carter managed to bring the South Bronx its first open-waterfront park in 60 years, Hunts Point Riverside Park. Then she scored $1.25 million in federal funds for a greenway along the South Bronx waterfront, bringing the neighborhood open space, pedestrian and bike paths, and space for mixed-use economic development.
Her success is no surprise to anyone who's seen her speak; Carter's confidence, energy and intensely emotional delivery make her talks themselves a force of nature. (The release of her TEDTalk in 2006 prompted Guy Kawasaki to wonder on his blog whether she wasn't "every bit as good as [Apple CEO] Steve Jobs," a legendary presenter.)
Carter, who was awarded a 2005 MacArthur "genius" grant, served as executive director of Sustainable South Bronx for 7 years, where she pushed both for eco-friendly practices (such as green and cool roofs) and, equally important, job training and green-related economic development for her vibrant neighborhood on the rise. Since leaving SSBx in 2008, Carter has formed the economic consulting and planning firm the Majora Carter Group, to bring her pioneering approach to communities far outside the South Bronx. Carter is working within the cities of New Orleans, Detroit and the small coastal towns of Northeastern North Carolina. The Majora Carter Group is putting the green economy and green economic tools to use, unlocking the potential of every place -- from urban cities and rural communities, to universities, government projects, businesses and corporations -- and everywhere else in between.
