I am very glad to see this well thought-out presentation opposing these 'smart cities'. I would like to see more opposition views about this, as there is such a huge media push to accept these situations that seem to be forced upon us. Dubai is a very good example.
They want me to live in an energy consuming information producing box in an environmental destroying tower. All I want is a tent on 2 acres to grow my own food.
Perfect video for those who think the world needs more smart cities. Fix what you have, cherish what you have, the culture and architecture. Greenfield developments built these days in places like India and the United States are all car centric and soulless. Europe is miles ahead in curtailing poor urban planning policies but people from my country of India want to instead follow United States with segregated sprawling expansions into greenfields. It is bad enough that people in India do not even see Chandigarh as a failed dystopia but instead praise it for its "wide streets" and convinient car layout. Heck people are ever more excited for "smart cities" being constructed accross the country. People should really stop and question themselves what kind of future do we want? soulless & corporate?
This is the BEST talk on smart cities I have ever heard! I hope to listen to more of his talks. He gives me hope in such dystopian times. Subscribing based on this ONE talk.
Thank you 💓 for your overview on smart cities, of all the dramatic changes needed to improve city life the proposed smart city marks a significant decline in intelligence, absence of creative inspiration and an utter loss of community, heart, and generosity it is hard to believe anyone would fund it or think the immense exertion needed to create it worthwhile.
I don't think anyone in jail thinks they're free, lol. It's more like "Hotel California": You can check out any time you want, but you can never leave."
Very good watch..we all need to think is this what we want. Who would want to "upgrade" to these cities. People need to hear this! Had not been explained so carefully to me before..get past the glossy ads. These cities sound horrifying and I am convinced will live upto the goal of afew.
@@brynne77 smart cities are how they control the population in Communist China. They have the “Social Score” too you have to get permission from your government to buy anything even a pair of shoes!!!
I wonder if , several hundred years from now, people would visit smart city as we do in those old cities around the world. And will they still enjoy them even as visitors. A city design by one party has only one soul, such as Dubai. And I personally did not like that's kind of showing-off. I am in Toronto. Thanks for the great talk.♥️
God created us to be free and using our abilities to better our lives with materials and resources that, HE made available to us and much more. But the world dictates are doing to us the opposite.
God's revelation being fulfilled. People, only God in His Son Jesus Christ is our only refuge. We are in spiritual warfare. It is not an accident that millions of people, even in places like Iran, are coming to Christ. Please, think about it

Very biased yet needed voice of anti-thesis that every citizen should heed before giving a full on embrace of technologies that we don't know that well. We should aware a authoritarian government could take advantages of technology to consolidate power in every way possible. The heart of the smart city is not about the technology employed, but about promoting humanity.
How do we get to know these technologies? By putting them a box and theorizing about them? Or by applying them and seeing what happens? The former just seems like an argument for not innovating at all.
@@izdatsumcp I agree that we shouldn't be controlled by fear and stay stagnant but I think we need to be EXTREMELY careful with our technological advancements. Especially AI and environmental effects. What if the AI infinitely clones itself all over network and continues to operate on its own to achieve the "goal" that we gave em. What if it finds social systems to be most efficient when everyone is labled a value based on their usefulness? Something that's already going on in the world rn but to think about.. and like he said can we truly measure our values and meanings.
Very unprofessional. Clearly missing the basic understanding of the concept. He even said he doesn't know what smart is, that I believe. He is a far cry from it. Study before you speak! He proved his one sided opinion. And the proposal he said that instead of sensors, people should do the work is just bad resource and human resource management. That is poor solution for unemployment. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that he had a project that was turned down in favor of a smart city project and he just having his rage run tantrum ever since.
I am born and brought up in Chandigarh and I promise you it’s not a “failure”. I am willing to bet this speaker has not spent one day in Chandigarh, before he called it and it’s architect a failure. I like Jane Jacobs too but comparing her to Corbusier is just unfair and lacks mature in thought. I feel bad for this speaker for lacking any curiosity to know if what others write is in fact true.
@@fernandocuriel124 what end? The end of times or days? Not sure what you mean by it. Chandigarh and Corbusier are worth exploring and learning from as much of their lessons are yet to realized by people today.
I am sorry if you are offended but chandigarh is just not built to a human scale. It is a very segregated and car dependent city. Calling it a failiure might be exageration but it won't win any awards for walkability and urbanism compared to more organic cities built to a more human scale. To put it bluntly its a less intresting, monotonous city compared to those that have a rich history and organic layout. Modernist architecture is also argubly ugly.

Like living in a Jail,you think your free,but your NOT.
Uh yeah.. exactly
I don't think anyone in jail thinks they're free, lol. It's more like "Hotel California": You can check out any time you want, but you can never leave."
Social media has perfect knowledge of people's habits right now as it was designed to.
From what I observe in England, and from what I have read about the WEF managing them, I think we should tread carefully.

What we need is to go back into the wilderness and live off it and it alone.

If you prefer the full blown control of your life and willing to be told what you can or cannot do then you will like a smart city
Oh. I guess he didn't explain that part well. Can you say more about that?

Look at how the “Walled City 99” turned out in “Stray”.
that was fantastic. SMART what is the meaning? I believe it will be forthe benefit of the people.
Thanks for this. Smart cities are such a Trojan horse. And look what happened to Troy.
first a comfortable prison.... later a real prison.

Say NO to smart cities
Cloud people communities. How much of UAE was built by dirt people for the cloud people?
People & local natural resources are the ones who create cities not digital means.

The very opposite of promoting humanity.

His whole point is that humans aren’t just a “resource”.
Sounds like your livelihood depends on data mining and corruption of everything with surveillance. Time to look for a new field.
Save your faulty interpretation! Is there anything less pointless that you can add to the conversation?
