Audio script:
What is the future of the cities? Global population is currently more than 7 billion and is predicted to top out around 10 billion. Most of the growth will occur in the urban areas of the world’s poorest countries. So, how will cities need to change to accommodate this growth? First, the world will need to seek ways to provide adequate food, sanitation and education for all the people. Second, growth will need to happen in a way that does not damage the land that provides US with the goods and services that support the human population. Food production might move to vertical farms and skyscrapers, rooftop gardens, or vacant lots in city centers while power will increasingly come from multiple sources of renewable energy.
Instead of single-family homes, more residences will be built vertically. We may see buildings that contain everything that people need for their daily life, as well as smaller, self-sufficient cities focused on local and sustainable production. The future of cities is diverse, malleable and creative, no longer built around a single industry, but reflecting an increasingly connected and global world.Tương lai của các thành phố là gì? Dân số toàn cầu hiện đang có hơn 7 tỷ người và được dự đoán sẽ đạt đến khoảng 10 tỷ. Hầu hết sự tăng trưởng này sẽ xảy ra ở các khu vực đô thị của các nước nghèo nhất thế giới. Vậy các thành phố sẽ cần thay đổi như thế nào để phù hợp với sự tăng trưởng này? Đầu tiên, thế giới sẽ cần tìm cách cung cấp thực phẩm, vệ sinh và giáo dục đầy đủ cho tất cả mọi người. Thứ hai, tăng trưởng sẽ cần phải xảy ra theo cách không gây thiệt hại cho vùng đất cung cấp cho chúng ta hàng hóa và dịch vụ hỗ trợ người dân. Sản xuất thực phẩm có thể chuyển đến các trang trại thẳng đứng và các tòa nhà chọc trời, vườn trên sân thượng hoặc các khu đất trống trong trung tâm thành phố trong khi năng lượng phần lớn đến từ nhiều nguồn năng lượng tái tạo.
Thay vì nhà ở đơn lẻ, nhiều khu dân cư hơn sẽ được xây dựng theo chiều dọc. Chúng ta có thể thấy các tòa nhà chứa mọi thứ mà mọi người cần cho cuộc sống hàng ngày của họ, cũng như các thành phố nhỏ hơn, tự túc tập trung vào sản xuất địa phương bền vững. Tương lai của các thành phố rất đa dạng, dễ thay đổi và sáng tạo, không còn được xây dựng xung quanh một ngành công nghiệp duy nhất, mà phản ánh một thế giới ngày càng kết nối và toàn cầu hơn.
