Superare il Traffico | Barbara Covili | TEDxBari


[Music]

good evening 129,000 what it corresponds to

this number this number corresponds

to a simple google search on a

the world’s most famous search engine

if you insert smog effects on the

health succeed in a few seconds

129,000 results and the problem was already

well known in the 80s when there

you will remember o’shea maybe there maybe some

remember the famous film blade came out

ridley scott runner was set in

a dystopian and crowded los angeles

full of people and also substantially

closed by smog from a smog bubble

that did not allow people in the movie

to see the sun and where it was raining

constantly without needing

call us to science fiction

images you see behind me

concern a traffic jam in China

which lasted nine days you imagine

get stuck in traffic for nine

days indeed as you see from the photos

people had organized themselves come

brought food was created of the

people washed the traffic

and traffic is a huge mess

problem and can not be solved by building up

new roads and it’s a concept that already

in the thirties famous rober moses

builder of the city of new york that

he had very clear

every time you build a new one

road after five minutes this road

it is invaded by traffic therefore not

we solve the traffic problem

simply by building new roads

today we are then in an era where in

reality everything gets smaller not

let’s go towards opulence let’s go towards

the rigor if you remember a few years

it does what it meant to have a collection

music of cd or dlp and how much space there

he wanted to keep the LPs and CDs at home

today everything is reduced to a very small one

tool

as we all have one in our hands today

smartphone inside which the

technology allows us to do things that

before they were absolutely not

predictable and obviously could not

to think of realizing them only through a

small tool called smartphone

today we are in a dimension where less

is more what it means means that

the less is the most

we certainly must not try to create

something that upsets the system but

we must with what we have

be able to find the balance find

a way to put disorder in order

because there is a very important concept

to keep in mind when talking about

traffic is not a phenomenon

linear

what does it mean that traffic is not a

linear phenomenon means that the

traffic matches us because you

you know very well that every day

we make fixed routes but we do

also of the paths we never have

so certainly made us every day

let’s see the cities that come in the morning

invaded by cars entering and in the evening

the cars come out to go home and

therefore a movement of this is created

kind of like a lung or a heart but then

there are also all the other movements

erratic that depending on the day

we do because we need to

move

so traffic is a phenomenon that

it’s all about which none of us is

free

and moreover we always want to move in

an infinity of different ways

one day I prefer to use the bicycle

one day I prefer to use the scooter

one day I prefer to move in

car or rain and I have to move in

There are more people than they have to drive

come in the car with me so we have

always need to move in a manner

different and our relationship with the

mobility is expressed in three ways

fundamentally different the first way

emotional because we have a relationship

emotional with mobility because

moving means being free

I can think of leaving home and of

go where I want

so I’m free and it’s important to

me keep this emotional relationship

and be able to think that I can move

freely because this corresponds to

what I want to do for ours

relationship with mobility and also

conditioned by another element

cultural means that often ours

way of moving depends on the environment

surrounding by our culture from

as we have been used to

if you need for example that Italy

it’s a country where there’s a lot

very high of cars per inhabitant we are

above the European average we have about 60

cars for every 100 inhabitants the average

European is under 50 cars

so there is also a cultural theme

connected to mobility then on this vi

I will say something quite surprising but

you must bear in mind that we are anyway

always conditioned and then we have a

another way to interact with mobility

aspiring aspiration each of us

every day thinks that that unique way

both hurt and the roundabout does not

both in the right place and that traffic light

it does not last long enough that

pedestrian crossing is not put

in the correct place a little the same thing

that we Italians above all do

with football no after a football match

we are all very good at saying they could

doing so could do in this other

so they should have done the same

speech with mobility is unfortunately not

so simple also because what

we are looking for today, however, to live

all in the cities

today there are 3.5 trillion

people living in the cities on 60 el

80 percent of the resources come

consumed directly by the two cities

thirds of the world population by

2030 will live in the cities

this does not facilitate as you can

imagine this is the trend you see

that will happen in the next few years

in 1970 to 30 percent of people

they lived in the cities in 2014 54

in 2050, 66 percent of people

they will live in cities not simple from

to handle is a constant movement in

growth that brings people obviously

to concentrate in one place because

access to services is easier

then what has happened in the last few years

economic crisis that as you know it has

brought so many negative things brought

also something positive is it

sharing has developed in recent years

economy and also in Italy sharing

economy is giving big and big fruits

results the sharing economy that

it simply means to move on from

possession of an asset to access to the

same good it is no longer necessary for me

be the owner of that good because

I am interested in enjoying that good alone

for a precise and established time and not

I need to have it I can access

that good without needing

owning it the sharing economy has had

direct impacts in three sectors

fundamental hospitality in the sense

precisely the hotels, the widespread houses

how are you all the famous phenomena like

airbnb in mobility and work

widespread because new ones have been created

professions in mobility had a

very strong impact and also in Italy

that just as I said before is between the

countries where there is a high number of cars

of property per inhabitant actually has

found an extremely fertile soil

despite being the last country in which a

European level was thought to invest

in the sharing economy

in fact users of sharing economy

so sharing mobility are so many

and in Italy there are some big cases

success

this as you see a chart that there

he says how much is spreading to leave

in leaving mobility within 2020 there

15.6 million people will be

they will only use vehicles in

sharing

and I will not choose any more they will not choose anymore

to buy a private car in addition to

sharing economy

today we are facing another

very important phenomenon that is the app

economy inside your smartphone

you have all the possible apps and

imaginable those we all know

obviously and there are also many

apps that give access to systems of

mobility so today the smartphone

it becomes a direct access to the world

mobility as well as many

other functions we need

everyday

this type of economy is a lot

important because it is growing

unbelievable

it is estimated that by 2021 6.3 trillion

of dollars will turn around the asp

economy users will grow from

current 3.4 million people to 6.3

millions of people

but the crazy thing is the time spent on

app the time we spend on apps

it will grow up to 3.5 trillion hours in the

2021

so today, in reality , mobility is one

instrument through which we

we can govern

the disorder governing the disorder and the

disorder is traffic

we have access today has good

practices we have access to systems that

allow us to use through

the smartphone more types of mobility

also whole in an interoperable way

what it means means me

I can use an application that brings me

from abi and then with another tool

always move by another

application and maybe do it

long distance displacement col

train and these are the formulas that today

allow us to think of a future

better future

today one of the trends that is going on

developing is called mas mobility esa

services

there are companies

imagine that they are investing

a lot to increase mobility

as a service and no longer as something

that I must possess to move but

as a service I can access

so today there are the solutions there

the world is going to be more and more

moving in this direction but that

that we must always keep in mind is

that we must always put ours on it

commitment and our will because

we have a planet just finished that

there will be no more

thank you so much
