‌
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣\"We are living in a world that is tantalizingly close to ensuring that no one need die of hunger or malaria or diarrhea,\" says economist Michael Green.

🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English

👣Adults tend to think of kids as \"future citizens\" -- their ideas and opinions will matter someday, just not today. But kids make up a quarter of the population, so shouldn't they have a say in what the world they'll inherit will look like? Urban planner Mara Mintzer shares what happened when she and her team asked kids to help design a park in Boulder, Colorado -- and how it revealed an important blind spot in how we construct the built environment. \"If we aren't including children in our planning, who else aren't we including?\" Mintzer asks.

👁Urbanization and the future of cities - Vance Kite
‌
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish
