Paryžius ir Londonas buvo laikomi didžiausiais miestais.

Kas gi iš tiesų vyksta? Pasaulio gyvenvietės tuštėja.
01:05
The question is, why?

40000
2000
Tik kodėl taip vyksta?
01:07
And here's the unromantic truth -- and the city air makes you free,

Štai jums ir nemaloni tiesa: ,,miesto oras daro žmogų laisvą", - taip
01:12
they said in Renaissance Germany. So some people go to places

buvo sakoma Vokietijoje renesanso laikotarpiu. Kai kurie žmonės keliasi į tokias vietas
01:15
like Shanghai but most go to the squatter cities where aesthetics rule.
10
50000
6000
kaip Šanghajus, tačiau dauguma keliasi į miestus su sava aplinka.

And these are not really a people oppressed by poverty.
11
56000
2000
Jie nėra žmonės, kuriuos spaudžia skurdas.
01:23
They're people getting out of poverty as fast as they can.

Jie savarankiškai kuria savo infrastruktūrą ir kunkuliuojantį gyvenimą.
01:32
One-sixth of the GDP in India is coming out of Mumbai.

1/6 BVP Indijoje gaunama iš Mumbajaus.
01:37
They are constantly upgrading, and in a few cases, the government helps.

Jie vis tobulėja, o kai kuriais atvejais padeda netgi vyriausybė.
01:41
Education is the main event that can happen in cities.
17
76000
3000
Švietimas yra svarbiausia sritis mieste.
01:44

Miestai nukenksmino populiacijos bombą.
02:19
And here's the second punch line.

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.”
