in life is, I have to admit,
najvećih zadovoljstava u životu
watching cities from the sky,
posmatrajući gradove iz vazduha,
that they can hardly contain,
koju jedva mogu da kontrolišu
and highways that structure their space.
i auto-puteve koji im daju strukturu.

izgledaju dramatično crveno i zlatno,

that can reach 130 miles per hour
koji dostižu brzinu od 200 km/h,
as 19th-century horse carriages?
kao i kočije iz 19. veka?

in our veins most of our lives,
našim venama celog života,
on a daily basis?
su svakodnevno zakrčeni.
at two very different networks.
dve sasvim različite mreže.

je skoncentrisana na zemlji,
the three dimensions inside us,
unutar nas koristi tri dimenzije,
is mostly two-dimensional.

is to embrace that verticality.
je da prihvatimo tu vertikalnost.
that can straddle traffic jams --
koji može da opkorači gužvu u saobraćaju
to think about space and movement
da se razmišlja o prostoru i kretanju
like we did with our electrical grid.
kao što smo i električnu mrežu.
are talking about testing

da pešačimo, vozimo bicikle
incredibly efficient
tako neverovatno efikasna

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Wanis Kabbaj - Transportation geekUPS's Wanis Kabbaj works at the intersection of biology and transportation.
Why you should listen
As the director of global strategy for healthcare logistics at UPS, Wanis Kabbaj finds ways for organizations to transport their temperature-sensitive medicines and biotechnologies safely around the world. For more than 16 years, Kabbaj's professional engagements have always revolved around transportation and innovation. Some of his ventures involved helping EADS Astrium use its satellite space transportation expertise in unexpected markets or participating in the global launch of Logan, a revolutionary low-cost vehicle, that helped Renault-Nissan harness a surprising growth in emerging markets.
Kabbaj is a dual citizen of Morocco and France and lived in four continents. Experiencing constant cultural transitions throughout his life gave him a real taste for analyzing problems through non-traditional lenses and blending disciplines that are usually kept separate.
