[Music] [Applause] it's a great honor to be here it's a great honor to be here talking about cities talking about the future of cities it's great to be here as a mayor I really do believe that Mayors uh have the political position to really change people lives that's that's the place to be and it's great to be here as the Mayor of Rio Rio is a beautiful city a vibrant Place special place actually you look into a guy that has the best job in the world and I really wanted to share you a very special moment of my life and the history of the city of Rio and Now ladies and gentlemen the envelope containing the result I have the honor to announce that the games of the 31st Olympiad are awarded to the city of Rio de Canelo okay that's very touching very emotional but it was not easy to get there actually was a very hard challenge we had to beat the European monarchy this is Juan caros king of Spain uh we had to beat the powerful Japanese with all their technology we had to beat the most powerful man in the world defending his own City so it was not easy at all and actually this last guy here said a phrase a few years ago that I think fits perfectly to the situation of real winning the Olympic beid I mean we really showed that yes we can and and really this is the reason I came here tonight I mean I came here tonight to show to tell you that things can be done that you don't have always to be rich or powerful to get things on the way that uh C are a great challenge it's a difficult task to deal with cities but with some original ways of getting things done with some basic Commandments you can really uh get cities to be a great great place to live I want you all to imagine real I mean you probably will think about a City full of energy a vibrant City full of green and nobody showed that better than caros Sal last year's real [Music] this is [Music] [Applause] [Music] incredible okay some parts of Rio are pretty much like that but it's not like that everywhere we like every big city in the world we got lots of people pollution cars concrete lots of concrete these pictures I'm showing here they are some pictures from Madura it's like the heart of the suburb in Rio and I want to use an example of Rio that we're doing madur in this region to see what we should think is our first commandment so every time you see a concrete jungle like that what you got to do is find Open Spaces if you don't have open spaces you got to go there and open spaces so go inside this open spaces and make that people can get inside can use that spaces this is uh going to be the third largest park in Rio by June this year it's going to be a place where people can meet where you can put nature uh the temperature is going to drop 2 3 degre Centigrade so the first commandment I want to leave here tonight is city of the future has to be environmentally friendly every time you think of a city you got to think green you got to think green and green so moving to our second commandment that I want to to show you let's think that cities are made of people I mean lots of people together cities are packed with people so how do you do you move these people around when you have 3.5 billion people living in cities by 2050 it's going to be 6 million people so every time you think about moving these people around you think about high capacity Transportation but there is a problem high capacity Transportation means spending lots and lots of money so what I'm going to show here is something that was already presented in t by the former mayor of kba he created that a city in Brazil Jan and it's something that we're doing again Lots in Rio it's the brt the bus Rapid Transit so you get a bus it's a simple bus that everybody knows you transform it inside as a train car you separate Lanes dedicated Lanes the contractors they don't like that you don't have to dig deep down on the ground you can build nice stations this is actually a station that we doing real again you don't have to dig deep down on the ground to make a station like that the station have the same Comfort the same features as a subway station the kilometer of this cost a tenth of a Subway so spending much less money and doing it much faster you can really change the way people move this the map of Rio all the lines the color lines you see there it's our high capacity Transportation Network in this present time today we only carry 18 % of our population in high capacity Transportation with the brts we're doing again a cheapest and fastest way we're going to move to 63% of the population being carried by high capacity Transportation so remember what I said you don't always have to be rich or powerful to get things done you can find the origional ways to get things done so the second commandment I want to leave here tonight is a city of the future has to deal with mobility and integr ation of its people moving to the third uh commandment and this is uh the most controversial one has to do with the favellas the slums whatever you call it there are different names all over the world but the point we want to make here tonight is favellas are not always a problem I mean favellas can sometimes really be a solution if you deal with them if you put public policy inside the favelas let me just show a map of Rio again Rio has 6.3 million inhabitants uh more than 20% 1.4 million live in the favellas all these red spots are faas so you see there spread all over the city this is a typical view of a fava in Rio I mean you see the contrast between the rich and poor so I want to make two points here tonight uh about favelas the first one is you can change from what I call a a visual Circle to a virtual Circle but what you got to do to get that is you got to go inside the favellas bring in the basic Services mainly education and health with high quality I'm going to give a fast example here this was an old building in a fav in Rio colon J MOA that we just transform into a primary school I mean with high quality this is a primary assistant in health that we build inside of flla again with high quality we call it a family clinic so the first point is that bring basic Services inside the favas with high quality the second point I want to make about the favas is you got to open spaces in the fava bring infrastructure to the favelas to the slums wherever you are I mean Rio has the aim by 2020 to have all its favelas completely urbanized another example this was completely packed with house and then we built this what we call a non LED Square this is a place with high technology where the kids that live in a poor house next to this place can go inside and have access to all technology we even bu a theater there 3D movie and this is the kind of change you can get for that so then by the end of the day you get something better than a Ted prize which is this great laugh from a kid that live in the flla so the third commandment I want to live here tonight is a city of the future has to be socially integrated you cannot deal with a city if it's not socially integrated but moving to our fourth Commandment I really wouldn't be here tonight I mean between uh November and may three is completely packed we just had last week Carnival it was great it was lots of fun we have New Year's Eve it's like 2 million people in Copa Cabana Beach we have problems I mean we we find floods tropical rains at this time of the year you can imagine how people get happy with me watching these kind of scenes we have problems with the tropical rains almost every year we have this Landslide which are terrible but the reason I could come here is because of that this was something that we did with IBM uh that's a little bit more than a year old it's what we call the Operation Center of Rio and I wanted to show that I can govern my city using technology from here from Long Beach so I got here last night and I know everything we're going to speak now to the Operation Center this is ozario he's our secretary of urban Affairs so aario uh good to be there with you I've already told it to people that uh we have tropical rain this time of the year so how's the weather in R now weather is fine we had a fair weather today let me get you our weather satellite radar you see just a little bit of moisture around the city absolutely no problem in the city in terms of weather today and in the next few days okay uh how's the traffic I mean with this time of year get lots of traffic J people get mad at the mayor so how's the traffic tonight well traffic tonight is fine let me get you one of our buses one of our 8,000 buses a live Transmission in downtown Rio for you Mr Mayor you see the streets are clear now it's 11:00 p.m. in Rio nothing of concern in terms of traffic I'll get to you now the incidents of the day we had heavy traffic in early in the morning and in the rush hour in the afternoon but nothing of big concern we are below average in terms of traffic incidents in the city okay so you're showing out some Public Services these are the cars absolutely Mr Mayor let me get you the fleet of our waste collection trucks uh this is live transmission we have GPS's in all of our trucks and you can see them working in all parts of the city waste collection on time Public Services working well okay oio thank you very much it was great to have you here we're going to move uh so that I can make a [Applause] conclusion okay so no files displac no paperwork no distance 24/7 working so the fourth Commandment I want to share you here tonight is city of the future has to use technology to be present I mean I don't need to be there anymore to know and to administrate the city but uh everything that I said here tonight the Commandments are means are ways for us to govern cities I mean invest in infrastructure invest in the green open parks open spaces integrate socially use technology but by the end of the day when we talk about cities we talk about Gathering of people and we cannot see that as a problem that is fantastic if there's 3.5 billion now it's going to be 6 billion then it's going to be 10 billion that is great that means that we're going to have 10 billion Minds working together 10 billion talents together so a city of the future I really do believe that it's a city that cares about its citizens integrate socially its citizens a city of the future is is a city that can never let anyone out of this great party which are cities thank you very much [Applause]
