00:00:05,230 --> 00:00:08,330
First of all, thank you for listening to our speech.

2
00:00:08,849 --> 00:00:11,869
Now I will end the debate by concluding the arguments on my own.

3
00:00:12,710 --> 00:00:17,910
The first argument defended was from Manuel, who explained the benefits of pedestrian areas.

4
00:00:17,910 --> 00:00:24,750
This includes less accidents and less levels of pollution that create health problems.

5
00:00:25,609 --> 00:00:34,810
Also, even examples of cities like Oslo or New York that have pedestrian areas and have less accidents and less pollution.

6
00:00:35,229 --> 00:00:41,229
Not only the benefits of pedestrian areas, but also the positive effects on the economy they have,

7
00:00:41,229 --> 00:00:47,229
like the consumer retail, the number of sales and the level of domestic products.

8
00:00:47,229 --> 00:00:52,229
Here we have the example of Tokyo, which streets are full of pedestrian areas

9
00:00:52,229 --> 00:00:57,229
with people consuming in local businesses and also shopping.

10
00:00:57,229 --> 00:01:02,229
Moreover, he defended the benefits of public transport to private carriers.

11
00:01:02,229 --> 00:01:12,230
These benefits are less emission of pollutant gases like CO2, for example, and the saving of money, including the accessibility for everyone.

12
00:01:12,230 --> 00:01:29,230
Furthermore, Sofia said that tourism is bad in terms of economy and welfare, and Manuel reviewed these arguments, saying that tourism is one of the main sources of economy for Spain, and a lot of businesses take advantage of this.

13
00:01:29,230 --> 00:01:42,230
The second argument defended was from Mara, who explained that cities with more pedestrian areas have noticed a decrease in sun pollution due to a decrease in traffic.

14
00:01:42,230 --> 00:01:48,230
In addition, she rejected the car use because of the massive energy consumption they produce.

15
00:01:48,230 --> 00:01:58,230
And also she explained that this overconsumption makes us dependable on power supplies like petrol, which are finite, and this will cause further problems.

16
00:01:58,230 --> 00:02:12,729
It is important to say that she compared the consumption of a private car for a single person or a family with the consumption of a bus with a capacity for more or less 35 to 30 people.

17
00:02:12,729 --> 00:02:23,729
And going further, she compared both transport with trains. And here the difference of consumption and capacity is extremely big.

18
00:02:23,729 --> 00:02:31,689
More importantly, she explained that public transport is more accessible because not everyone can afford their own car.

19
00:02:32,669 --> 00:02:45,569
Furthermore, she defined how pedestrian zones have a positive impact on local markets, creating more jobs, and also can increase the construction of natural spaces which are beneficial for health problems.

20
00:02:45,569 --> 00:02:51,610
Finally, Cristina, saying that tourism is not good for the economy, and Mara, reviewing

21
00:02:51,610 --> 00:02:56,330
these arguments, saying that tourism is good for the economy, make us need great jobs,

22
00:02:56,330 --> 00:02:58,330
for example, in local markets.

23
00:02:58,330 --> 00:02:59,330
Thank you for listening.
