in new york in 1853 something happened that
changed the history of cities
as we know them forever the place
is this the exposition of the industries
of all nations this great
irresponsible glass building is this
man his name may be sound
serious otis against what some may
think
otis did not invent the elevator the elevator
in fact is an ancient invention the
first reference to it to the idea of a machi
e that allows us to ascend and descend in a
tructure is from archimedes but otis
nd it was an essential invention an
innovation that could be presented at the
international exhibition of
industries the brake the brake
that allowed the elevator to go ensured
that if it collapsed nothing would happen and in
its presentation it showed people that the
future of cities not only
it would run horizontally, if not more
and more upwards, the elevator
becomes at that moment in new
elements that give it life, which is the
essence of the city from the 20th century to
the era of the elevator
cities are characterized by a
topography where people with more
resources live downstairs and the poorest
live upstairs the invention inverts the
relationship and from that moment the
views are the upper floors they
become more precious but above
all the elevator changed cities
because it made them much denser and by
making it denser it made them more
diverse a few decades after
otis invented the elevator that
spans all the big cities in
the world in detroit in 1908 a new
invention changes and thus
definitively the shape of the city and creates
the city of the 20th century it is of course
the shape of the tee the first car
for the whole world the first mass-
produced car at a price that
allows it to be at the reach of many more
people and the car becomes a
way to open the distance between the
place of residence in place of work
and return the limits of the city something
much more porous and extensive the forte
inaugurates the era of the automobile which
transforms the city of the 20th century into a
much broader one in which on the
one hand we gain space but on the other
hand we lose a sense of community and of
course also inaugurates another era, the
era of traffic jams, the era that puts the
city at the service of the automobile, the era
that makes the automobile more
important than the citizen that captures a
lot of public space and pollutes its
air, an era defined in some way
by the slavery to the car
as the center of the city
we are in 2017 we are 17 years into the
21st century and it is probably early to
know what technologies will change the
city of the 21st century in the same
way that the car and the elevator
changed what was the city of the 20th century
but I think we already know some things
we know that there are for example two
technologies that are less visible that
are much smaller some
directly they are ethereal to you that are
changing to cities of the 21st century
a beautiful one you know very well because
I am almost sure that the vast majority of
you in front of me now carry
it in your pocket or in a bag
I am talking of course about the
smartphone it is incredible to think that the
smartphone is only 10 years
old
and has already become such an
intimate object that it is the most personal objects
that spend the most time physically attached
to us but also the smartphone is made
possible by another invention by another
innovation that is in fact more
important and that is the result of
much more time over the
last two decades we have been creating
a great tangle around the
entire planet made up of cables and
electromagnetic waves that connect us to each
other the connectivity that
emanates from the sky above we from which
the satellites of the gps system send us
our position of the wi-fi networks that
allow us to connect to the internet
from from airports from libraries
from mobile phone antennas that are
on the roofs of the
city we are walking through and that permanently connect us
to a
mobile phone line even when we are moving and
even from the submarine cables that
fill the bottom of the ocean through which
our photos our
songs our personal messages circulate
the smartphone is the first thing many
people see when they get up in the morning and the
last thing they see when they fall asleep is in many
cases also a technology that alters
our reality and notices us too of
new meanings when we are in the
space of the smartphone we are in the
place where we are but we are
also in another place at the same time let's be
a bubble around us and that
bubble connects us with other people and takes us
to another space he is the
smartphone in some way transforms
the physical sense of the reality that
surrounds us but it has also transformed things
in man It was very decisive in the age of the
smartphone, we no longer meet someone for
an hour in a place in an
unchangeable way because we are in
permanent contact with that someone and it is
a process of permanent renegotiation, we
no longer need to know a neighborhood to
find a pizzeria even without
having to ask we do not
need to raise our hands to
hail a taxi because it is possible that this taxi will
come to us and it already stops in
fact where we are going the
smartphone
also definitely puts in our
pocket a map of the entire world a
map with such a degree of detail that only
moss printed it would occupy 45 kilometers
from one end to the other and for the first time
in the history of cartography for the
first time in the thousands of years of
history of maps on the
map we appear
the flashing blue ball
but of course also not not only
connects us but also disconnects us and
sometimes isolates us makes us be in a
space surrounded by people and at the same time
Sometimes we disassociate ourselves from them like all
technology when it emerges for a
while we are stammering with it
we are learning to get along with it and
we do things wrong and we have to engage in
a process of social conversation of
negotiation to better understand its
potential but also what
makes us feel perhaps less comfortable
for the city, however for the
city as a reality the strongest impact
of these two technologies since
March and connectivity has to do
with the ability it has to
help us coordinate and
collectively do things even with
people we don't know a scale that
was unthinkable it
is exciting to talk about this a few
meters from one of the essential places
for the city of the 21st century
after those 40 people there are 10,000
people and those 10,000 people are
sharing something and they generate and create a
community that at the same time unites them with people
from the city and from all over the world this is
a photo from the summer of 2011 they are people
on the Gran Vía at 2 in the morning who
have decided to cut off the street and
turning it into a space for an
assembly in the 21st century on the smartphone
and connectivity is making
us able to program the spaces and
turn them into redeemable
transformable spaces so more and more we
find cafes that are not cafes
in the era of the digital economy many
people work in a cafe because the
separations between their personal and
professional lives between two and jobs
are increasingly porous a car can
turn into a taxi at times in
those moments and that its driver
wants it without having to be painted
colors and bringing a light
home can become
specific days in a hotel these changes of
course generate many tensions they
generate tensions and dangers for those
who they see displaced and see how their
traditional professions are
threatened by the emergence of a
model that harms them and that perhaps they
do not understand because of neighbors who see how their
neighborhoods go from being communities to
becoming tourist ghettos without
anyone asking for permission without knowing
how can they stop it in each process of
emergence of a technology there is a
process of social and political negotiation
there is a space in which we have to
define what it is that we want to promote
and what it is that we want to preserve we
have done it many times before
throughout the last two centuries and now we
will have to do it again but that is not going to
change the notion the essential choice
of connectivity as a way to
reprogram the city to that
mutant city more and more cities are
reprogramming their spaces new
technologies that are approaching us in
the coming years also as a
consequence of connectivity will
completely reinvent this city
makes a city in which we will recover
spaces that we had lost those are
autonomous cars the cars that are
capable of driving themselves and
that will allow us not to need cars
that are the Nobel
percent of the time for two because
these things will be able to be in movement
all the time time, therefore, we will be able to
recover spaces that we had lost
and convert, as is happening more and more into
cities, spaces that had been
snatched into new public spaces
this is times square in new york the
most iconic square in the city from which the
elements are already disappearing cars and
is becoming a new space
for all citizens experiments
that also allow the creation of new forms
of coexistence between transport and
citizens these are the superblocks
in barcelona an innovative project in
which nine blocks regulate traffic
to make in the center in the four
intersections in the center four public squares
and these four squares s become
new parks in spaces where
people get together to play sports or
do yoga, even the programmable city
in some way is the city that is the
consequence of deciding how
we want to use the potential of the
smartphone and connectivity to
recover spaces that we had lost
and we can program it in many ways
I can program it in time for example
this is graviton paila it is a party that
is celebrated in helsinki every year
for one day a year
anyone can set up a restaurant
that day anyone and only
24 hours can set up a restaurant on
the streets of helsinki this i hear
pluses a new kind of bus
where the bus boards the stops
change all the time people get on
the bus they choose the stops
they want to get off and the ones they don't and the
bus it changes its route in real time in
some way the bus stops
can also be mutated and very close
to us a
latin barrier once again in la cebada el campo de
cebada de madrid an
international benchmark project in which
users decide what the
space can be at any given time
sometimes it is a summer cinema sometimes it is
a track for practicing sports sometimes it
is a park where people gather and
where the furniture can
be moved and changed places because the
sun hits the square
in different places depending on how the
year changes one of the fundamental people
to understand the history of the 20th century and
its nurturing into the 21st century
richard buckminster fuller many
decades ago i thought this is insane
that typewriters sleep in
beautiful buildings while
people sleep in shacks our
beds are empty two-thirds of the
time our living rooms are empty
seven-eighths of the time ours
are empty half the time it's
time we thought a little about this at the
crossroads at the pass of the 20th century to
the 21st century in the emergence of the era
of connectivity we are in a position
to begin to forge a new
city model a mutant city like the one that
had dreamed of mister football and I
invite you all to think about how
we want to change this city for let it
be more ours more livable and more
shared thank you very much
[Applause]
