This report on Songdo offers valuable insights. As someone who has frequented Songdo since 2008, with more regular visits from 2017 onwards, I share some of the author's observations. While I appreciate aspects of Songdo, the over-reliance on car-centric infrastructure hinders walkability and creates a disconnect between its green aspirations and reality. The vast, spaced-out layout forces reliance on vehicles, detracting from the pedestrian experience. I've noticed the struggles of Canal Walk, with shop closures, though the ArtWin Prugio area seems more vibrant. The "international city" label feels superficial. Despite the aim, there's a lack of spaces that truly cater to or foster a sense of belonging for foreigners. The city seems geared towards a specific demographic: affluent Korean families, where mothers and children dominate the daytime landscape, while a vibrant nightlife and entertainment scene is conspicuously absent, pushing younger residents to seek those elsewhere, like Bucheon. The upcoming GTX line holds potential for positive change, hopefully attracting a more diverse population and stimulating the growth of a richer, more inclusive city culture. Relaxing restrictions on nightlife venues could also inject much-needed energy into the city after dark.

I keep seeing people fall for this idea that corporations have morals and values

Great insights about the role of cities in bridging the infrastructure gap to achieve the Africa we want, thank you so much!

the link for the slides doesn't work anymore

When you gave examples of how such innovation has already succeeded, you convinced me to listen to more ideas. How about the times it failed? A much more educational example, although the successes might be used as benchmarks or a simple direction, so long as the successes can be repeated often enough to work out the kinks.

it's crucial that these cities use advance social choice to optimize human welfare. ideally you want modern voting methods like score voting or approval voting, and mechanisms like election-by-jury, which statistically approximate universal turnout, and make voters as educated and rational as humanly possible. one can go further down the pyramid into more specific policies, like having taxes with negative or neutral deadweight loss (e.g. pigovian taxes and land value taxes respectively), and replacing progessive tax rates with UBI. but you want to strike the root, and voting procedures are as root as it gets.

No sound.

Shame about the audio. Might be worth re-recording, I'm interested in the content, but can't watch this version.

When was British rule benevolent?

Interesting

Africa is a continent, not one entity. Thats the first mistake, adressing it like its a country

Parisitic economic zones

Were can I find the book

Hey are your figures right? You mentioned per capita income of $7500 per person in 1920 for the US but $4500 per person in 1970. Surely this is a mistake ?

Thank you so much guys. This was amazing and inspirational to me and a friend from Horn of Africa who have the idea to bring this to our region to spur development. Many thanks chaps for this amazing panel discussion.

Great presentation guys

Great!

What has happened to Charter Cities Podcast?

Neo liberal wet dream.

Playlist is not in order, has anybody figured out the correct order? So far I think I have: Intro/ Romer Astrid Haas Mark Lutter Kurtis Lockhart

All this evil in one room

urban planning is vital for ethiopia to become developed

None of this is proven. It is still very much hypothetical. Do not let them kid you otherwise. The experiments in Honduras & Madagascar have been disasters & tarnished their image.

Wow. Great move by Rwanda! I cannot think of a better place to educate my children than this forward thinking African nation.

Hats off to everyone involved. We have been commenting on different TH-cam videos that we have a beautiful city which has been destroyed & neglected because of street vending. Thus we have litter all over. No good pedestrian walks & no enough bins. The buildings lack maintenance. Findeco house could have been bringing in some tourists dollars by having people go on the last floor & roof to take pics & videos with views of the city. Hope the CCI will recommend that we make our corridors & buildings to be wheel chair friendly & that open drainages get closed up. Also that all suburb streets should be constructed with safe pedestrian walkways. Townships should be redesigned & have GRZ build proper low cost houses including no more than five story flats in phases for tenants to rent with the goal of house ownership upon the expiry of an agreed rental period

lol I guess my application was unsuccesful..

I like it 👍

So in other words remove democracy...

Good idea

Lies, lies, lies.... and ultra right-wing bullshit!!!

This sounds like the worst idea ever and is one of the reasons why China is currently imploding.

Bullshit !

Sounds terrible.

Lived in by the rich and waited on by the poor.

Does Charter Cities Podcast have a Discord server? I can't seem to find it.

Welcome to the new age of feudalism. Charter cities - how much money do you greedy planet raping bastards need?

Its a way for the rich to make the workers poorer with fewer rights.

very cool introtroduction my friend
