4. The future of our planet will be decided in the Cities.
•2% of earths surface are Cities.
•50% of earths people live already in Cities.
•These people consume 75% of worlds energy and produce 80% of worldwide CO2-emision.
•2050 about 75% of earths people will live in Cities. (Although some Cities in Europe are shrinking).
(source: WHO 2010)
6. It is the responsibility of us – this generation, this leaaders – what
will
happen with our cities, our civilisation, our cultures, our planet.
•What we decide today…
•What we do today…
•What we do NOT do today… decides the future of human race. (source: WHO 2010)
For this reason we are all here today. Aren‘t we?

13. 12 benefits
of urban open space.
Gift of nature, benefits for free! Multifuncitional.
21. differentes kinds of movement – pedestrian, bicycle, baby buggy, rollerblades,
wheelchair, crutches, with many years…
different speeds – different perception of surrounding.
different motives of movement – fast ways, leisure pathes…
29. „stay“ includes many things to do:
to shop, to meet, to buy, to sell, to talk, to show, to watch, to move,
to play, to relax, to calm down, to feel free, to pray, to party, to work,
to celebrate…
32. Culture/Identity is about …
… language, history, art, climate, origin, religion, music, politics,
society, enviroment, food
What is the special culture and identity for Cali?
Let us find 7 words as colours, thougts, emotions, sensations, activities, perceptions….
which seems to be typical for Cali.
42. The more green volume, the more O2.
The more photosynthesis, the more O2.
The more surface of leaves, the more O2.
22 trees are needed to feed 1 men with O2
43. Only one thing to produce O2: Plants! Living plants.
(Exception: also bacteria and algae)
O2 is a result of the photosynthesis of plants. Only working daytime.
Cars using combustion engine do also need O2, they compete against humans for O2.
The bigger the surface of leaves the bigger this benefit.
So it is not only about how big the area of planting, it refers also to the volume of plants
and the densitiy of leaves. And also some species of plants have higher rates of photo-
synthesis than others. And as depending also on sunlight, this benefit depends on where
you are on planet Earth.
45. The more green volume, the more reduction of noise.
The more surface of leaves, the more reduction of noise
46. Best things to reduce noise:
1. Plants!
2. All kind of structures in surfaces.
Structures boost the surface: the surface of a glazed football is much smaller than the
surface of a scraggy football. The bigger the surface, the bigger this benefit.
Please notice my recommendation:
1. avoid noise, 2.avoid noise, 3. avoid noise, 4. reduce noise.
48. plants! and water!
The bigger the surface, the bigger this benefit.
1 tree eleminates the exhaust of 100 cars!
49. Dust is worse for health than thougt for many years.
Health is a personal quality. But also a question of money for a city/nation.
Please notice my recommendation:
1. avoid dust, 2. avoid dust, 3. avoid dust, 4. reduce dust.
55. Not only trees can provide shadow.
Also houses, constructions, textiles do.
Keep in mind:
different climates
different positions to equator
Azimut
different habits to manage the sun
- personal habits eg. age, skincolour
- cultural habits eg. clothes
60. Water. Plants . (Animals.)
The origin of food.
The handeling of rainwater.
Vegetarian food only? Biologigal food only?.
To remember us: Humans are part of nature.
67. Cold air – production and movement
O2 – production and movement
Humidity in air – production and movement
Balance of temperature - nighttime, daytime / city-land
Propper temperature – anytime to cold, to hot
Never rains in California – oportunity to be outside inspite of climate
78. How many senses do we have?
What are they worth for? What is their value for us?
Senses and identidy – how are these two related?
Senses and culture – how are these two related?
Senses and quality of live – how are these two related?
80. 7 things to do
1. maximize green!
2. maximize water!
3. maximize flow!
4. maximize network!
5. maximize links!
6. maximize sensuality!
7. maximize life!
81. produce O2
reduce noise
reduce dust
optimize bioclimate
lawn, meadow, shrubs
hedges
forest
unmoved water
water in movement
memorize: water and plants…
… the more volume, the better is.
… the more surface, the better is.
… the more moved, the better is.
