When you have heard the first word, I can understand.
00:00:00
Okay, so they have
00:00:12
spoken about touristification.
00:00:14
They have said that it is a problem, but
00:00:16
that's not real, because tourism is one of the
00:00:17
main sources of economy for Spain.
00:00:20
A lot of businesses take advantage of this situation
00:00:22
in an economic way, so
00:00:24
why should it be bad?
00:00:26
Also, they have said that disabled people have problems while going through public transport,
00:00:28
but that's a minority of the population.
00:00:33
So, in reality, it's a minority.
00:00:36
You cannot extrapolate it to all the population.
00:00:39
And also, they have said that health issues, I mean, public transport doesn't compensate health issues,
00:00:41
but in reality, yes, because cars generate a lot of carbon dioxide and nitrogen dioxide
00:00:47
that is harmful for people's health and for the environment,
00:00:52
while public transport reduces that amount.
00:00:55
Okay, so my name is Manuel and I'm going to start with my speech.
00:00:57
Firstly, I would like to start by talking about the safety benefits of pedestrian zones.
00:01:01
According to the World Health Organization, pedestrian zones totally contribute to less accidents but also to lower levels of air pollution.
00:01:05
For example, in the iconic Times Square in New York, pedestrian activity rose by 10% with 35% fewer pedestrian accidents and 65% fewer vehicular accidents.
00:01:11
In addition, Oslo implemented the free car livability program by which it became, in 2019, the first city to record zero pedestrian and cyclist deaths.
00:01:20
Basically, areas which were previously available for car use were now...
00:01:28
Does the tourist go to buy on local shops or in big companies?
00:01:35
What was? Repeat, repeat.
00:01:39
Does the tourist go to buy on local shops or in big companies that you already...
00:01:40
For sure they have to buy in local shops, for example, in local bars.
00:01:44
imagine in a coastal area
00:01:47
they go to local bars
00:01:50
and they consume there
00:01:51
and those businesses take advantage of this situation
00:01:52
in an economic way
00:01:55
so like I was saying
00:01:56
areas which were previously occupied by cars
00:01:58
can now be used by businesses and inhabitants
00:02:01
and the positive consequences
00:02:02
of pedestrian areas
00:02:05
also contribute to lower levels of air pollution
00:02:07
in this graph
00:02:09
for example we can observe
00:02:11
two completely different cities
00:02:12
the first graph shows the city of Oslo
00:02:14
that have a very good quality of the air.
00:02:16
And why?
00:02:19
Because Oslo has advocated for frequent use,
00:02:20
therefore reducing the levels of air pollution
00:02:22
and improving the quality of the air.
00:02:24
But the second graph shows the city of Shanghai,
00:02:26
which has a very bad quality of the air.
00:02:29
And why?
00:02:30
Because Shanghai has preferred to maintain a closed cabin
00:02:31
with no limitations,
00:02:33
therefore having very high rates of air pollution.
00:02:35
And you could think that air pollution is not reliable
00:02:38
or is not important,
00:02:40
but you are completely wrong
00:02:41
because air pollution is quite dangerous for people's health
00:02:42
and should be cross-regulated.
00:02:45
The long-term health effects of air pollution include lung cancer, respiratory diseases and heart diseases, such as emphysemia, and it causes nearly 7 million premature deaths annually.
00:02:46
Secondly, I would like to speak about the huge positive impact that pedestrianisation has over the economy.
00:02:56
Pedestrian areas increase the economic growth of an area due to the increased consumer retail.
00:03:02
Basically, shops located on pedestrian grids generate higher revenues than shops on non-pedestrian grids.
00:03:07
For example, we noticed that in London or Swartirkus,
00:03:12
pedestrianisation stimulated a 25% increase in turnover over the shops in the area.
00:03:15
For instance, if we focus on an analysis carried out by the
00:03:22
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development,
00:03:27
there was an increase in the number of sales due to the development of pedestrian areas
00:03:29
in over 20% in Copenhagen, 25% in Colombia, 40% in Munich and 70% in Hamburg.
00:03:33
And furthermore, if we focus on the city with the highest tip, which is basically an indicator for the wealth and the economic power of a country, we find the first place Tokyo.
00:03:40
And this is not a coincidence.
00:03:49
While talking about Tokyo's pedestrian areas, we are referring to huge and wide streets where people can consume and invest their money in local businesses.
00:03:50
And to finish, I would like to speak about the benefits of public transport towards private car use.
00:03:59
I would like to pick up the example of Oslo that, according to the WUEF World Economic Forum,
00:04:05
is the sixth European country with the best public transport networks in the world.
00:04:09
This also has a great correlation with its low levels of air pollution.
00:04:14
Accessibility will make different structures,
00:04:18
and cheap prices are fundamentally for having great public transports.
00:04:20
Also, it's much more ecologically friendly having public transports than public car use
00:04:24
due to the harmful emissions of carbon dioxide and nitrate dioxide that cars emit.
00:04:29
That's all.
