has a tv series school is a
documentary that I really like
watch who calls when we were fish
and in this series he shows the relationship between
the bone structure of fish and
bone structure of humans
and she says that this passage of life in the
water to the ground we know it went
through most amphibians
specifically through this fish
called titanic and when we talk about
amphibians
we usually remember not always
water when speaking car amphibious is there
a queue the amphibious car that car
who also walks in the water
an amphibious aircraft is the airplane that
to land in the water so I thought the
word fiber has some relation with
but then I went to search the dictionary
and I saw that amphibian does not really have
relation to water
the fbi off actually mean both
then they are animals that can live in
both media not so much in water as
on earth but you see I went
presented is not about biology
I’m going to talk about my urban mobility
I remember that my interest
urban mobility began more or less
when I was about 8 years old
When I was a child, I said that
I wanted to be a traffic cop
I liked the traffic of that thing of the
and said he wanted to be a
and my mother ‘s family .
Rio de Janeiro and there whenever the river of
January I saw the subway going by subway
there in Rio de Janeiro I was delighted
with the subway in and I said I wanted to be
subway driver that one when
I wanted to be a machinist for
It ‘s because I was delighted with
Those would enter a tunnel here the subway
to take you to another place and
freedom that gave the facility
that you have to move through the
with that but it’s not when I
I was a kid here but I did not have a subway.
No, my father had a car that was
the means of transport and the whole family
he took my mother to work
I would take my sisters to school to
the English course of the course
for swimming is good for
everywhere was the family car took
even through pre-college courses until
I passed the entrance exam completing 18
years and I won a car then the car in
my adolescence was always a dream
For me, I wanted to complete 18 years.
to be able to have the car so that
that freedom that I believed
I was going to have the car, and I was so
passionate about car in adolescence
when I was 13 years old
My birthday gift was a
four wheel magazine subscription
My parents interested me in this signature.
I liked the magazine very much and I
communicate with the magazine a new letter
For them, this interaction with the magazine
and when I was 14 I went to study
mechanics in technical school is fascinated
even for this issue of the Dada
transport and mobility and there is no
I said my interest in mobility and
even when I was when I was
Child I used to play in the street.
real city on the street with a piece
of ceramic I drew cities
so to play with those carts
hot wheels
sometimes even at home there were several
sheets of paper to play inside
To make a hometown , and always
had interest in urban mobility
and that’s when I went to study
architecture and urbanism was more
account of the technical drawing I
technical school in what is now the ifal
than by the body but when I left
I left university, like it more
beautiful than architecture, and then when
I graduated I was freshly graduated
I was planning a trip to Sao
paulo and by chance I met the blog of
thiago benicchio that the journalist thiago
benicchio there from são paulo calling
apocalypse powered his blog that he
took that name from the book of the apocalypse
and he showed on this blog he
He does not feed this blog anymore, but he
showed this new vision of mobility
that we have today that is of the city
focused on people not the city focused
in the car
Then I was delighted with that.
with that new vision of
mobility that he showed in the blog
but I believed that was the
new vision
but in fact it was not new right now
jacobs in the 60’s and 50’s and 60’s she already
battled for it there in the states
united new york
she was very much for it and currently
she is now deceased and the NGO who is
a Danish humanist
he has been spreading this idea throughout the world
since the 60’s also from the
the 1970s he spilled over the world and
coincidentally this week I was
here in brazil he passed sao paulo
to the gay harbor giving lectures
talking about what cities need to have
to be nice to people not
for the cars
then in 2006
I was approved in the public tender
went to work in the downtown neighborhood in
maceio
And then I lived in the green tip.
and then I would go to the center of the car
every day I got bottled up
every day in the baron of watchtower
studying until today is still recurring
and I’m going there one day to
working a car in a week in the
next week the other week said
Well I’m not going to spend my life right?
Doing this every day, right, I ‘m not going.
endure this
and then I see those things that
thiago benicchio showed on his blog and
the initiatives that people take in
another city is to use the bicycle as
transport
I decided to try it for work.
I went on a bicycle on a Saturday there.
I took the bike on Saturday to
try to see if it would be too
tired and would take it and went
quiet there from Monday
I decided to go have bike
Work, then and there, right?
I was at work when I was driving.
still have to be looking for a place to
park the car right there bike already
I did not have this problem anymore I had one
space to store the bicycle in the
work tied up in a small
at work and always listened to the
colleagues complaining that they did not
they got a place to park the car
who have difficulty staying
and they said they saw me
pass in the traffic jam and were on the
balcony beyond that bottling and I
They saw cycling and I always
I arrived on time, I was not late.
there was no problem
I carried a backpack with clothes towels
soaps and everything and showered
work was already working even more but
nice and he always told me rehearsal
you passing in the detran
job
And it’s been ten years since I’ve been
doing it only today it does not work
more in the center, I work in Fernandes
file in the lighthouse district
And then I have to face the
aggressiveness of bus drivers and
of the taxi engines in the blue range is that
the bike was recommended that she
use the blue band and have this
conflict in the blue band
but then using the bicycle more and more
and less and less the car, not me or me
I realized that when I was driving I
became impatient when everyone
transit with the car the will that I
I have to do like michael douglas in
film a day of fury is to save the
car and get out of the car leave the car at
bottling of the car because
It ‘s a bit of a struggle there.
What do you carry with you and you do not have
successful exit at a wedding with
car you ‘re stuck in the garage being there
what to do if you do not have freedom with
That’s how Guilherme Jordan spoke in the
ted reef is like the snail’s cascade
in which the cocoa has to carry that
for every place right?
and there using less and less the car and
more and more the bicycle last year
in 2015 I god my car in the last
car and completing five years
and there we begin to become obsolete and
already has trouble in the car already
It was time to change and I was
thinking of changing my car
So I thought, I’m using it so
little the car was using the car one
once a week once every 15 days
car is stopped in the garage that was
there as object of decoration in the garage
Then I met my car’s website.
monster on that site he calculates he does the
calculation you put the value of the car
value you pay ipva for
all tax fuel of
everything and it calculates how much your car
It’s up to you, I calculated my
car and said that it cost me a thousand
real per month
Today I’m going to pay a thousand reais a month in
it already cost 80 thousand reais I go
pay a thousand reais a month for a car
to stay in the garage, then
I’m not using the car, I can
get six thousand reais and use another
So I decided to sell the car, right?
so if we think about it is the salary
Brazil’s minimum is 880 reais
currently and that my car was
costing one thousand reais
so we’re starting to see that this
transport is accessible to all who do not
all people have
to keep a car and if it is not
accessible to all is a
but it is not a carriage for
everybody then same as everyone
could have the same car
that all people should be in a position to
to have a thousand reais have a car is all
world in the city could shift from
car there is no space in the city for a
simple reason is because the car it
occupies a lot of space in the city
then that is what causes this expansion
horizontal of the city that gives itself time
is always expanding to be able to
to house more cars in the city
and there they create new neighborhoods we see
now the city hall with the intention of
expand the city of the north coast
always expanding the city
horizontally with the distances
getting bigger and we see that
the bigger cities like são paulo by
example which is immensely large in size
full screen of viaducts and new city and
still have their congestion in
a different scale people are
following the same path
then this bike is here
slave application that is an application
for you to mark your
running or cycling and when I left
from olivia this app on
and it records all the
routes I make in the city through
gps
then these blue lines are the lines
that I where circulating in maceió
so you can see that oo gold for
here right never telling you here and there
within a radius of six kilometers is all
What I can do on a bicycle is
everything I do on a bicycle in the
city then my city is a city
more compact is the society that
reach a city bike on a radius
six kilometers
That’s when we think, but it ‘s limited.
This six-mile radius in Europe
The city is bigger than that.
but if we were to think about the car the
car it also has its limitation
I can, for example, live in paripueira
or in marshal deodoro that are cities
neighbors here in maceió and I saw all the
days living and working here in maceió gives
a distance of 30 more kilometers or
less then that car limitation
about 30 kilometers in which the radius of
reach the car for you to make a
distance of half an hour an hour ne
but bicycle 6 km I do
quietly and 20 minutes
So, oo, the bike she promotes.
a more compact city is what the
manos planners say it’s the city of
bicycle is the city of transportation
collective in the most compact city in
city answered horizontally
then it is is using less and less the car
nor without that one thousand reales that
I was spending with the car I now I
I realized that I have more freedom to
I move in the city than when I
had a car
I believed that the car he would give me
released when I was 18 years old
that he would give me freedom for me
move around the city but today with
all these applications we have
It’s not for the cell phone related to
mobility and already know me and 99
tatibitate action behind the hub that
recently arrived in maceió, which is
very controversial and it is still always
necessary that they arrive that he arrives
and it also has the applications of
rental bikes that has the example
paris the city bike fall from
new york the samba bike from são paulo
Reef also has its own bikes
rentals are for applications
cell phone but they still do not have bicycles
has the globe to break when
you want to travel from one city to the
Other you rides with your friends.
have the shared cars that these
sugar and joe k has other companies
also do what you do not need
have the car car what do you think today of the
car is the car with the possession you have the
car is you use the car is like a
service
You use when you need it if I
I need the car once a week, she
uses once a week does not have a
car stopped in the garage during the week
everyone else can use this
shared car and also has the
car rental companies that are already
that we already know
on this state of affairs to come out in
applications that also show the route
of buses then what I wanted to
message that I wanted to pass on to you.
is that this city that we built
now from throughout the 20th century
in this city focused on the automobile is a
city that we chose to be
so the city was imposed on her was
imposed by the auto industry
for that we experience need it
made us believe that this is the best
way of living
so we went through a long period
of dictatorship here in Brazil we do not now
we are more in the dictatorship we live a
democracy but the power of the media is still
very strong in this propaganda program in
television is always are showing is the
car as a synonym for status as
synonymous with power you need to have the
car to become free to be a
most beautiful person you have to have
your car and then we build cities
excludentes in the city where pedestrians
squeezed on the sidewalks where
all the city space is offered to
the cars in the a municipal administrations
spend money money fortunes
public to make works to fit more
cars and there soon after these works
more cars are made in circulation and
works become ineffective but we
we have successful solutions that were
adopted in various cities around the world
that the urban planner who showed him
worked in New York in an example of
new york right divided its avenues
with space for bike space to
exclusive lanes for sidewalks
and the pedals can forward
with more ease and spaces
Suitable forth the pds this sample
top of helsinki by apology given
very moody and with pleasant spaces
people do not move in maceió
to the city center that has a boardwalk
in the center is an example of this space not
is that people come not only the cars
space that only people can circulate
It’s like it’s a mall is the
sky the open-air shopping mall made
was to put air conditioning indoors
the people in what was already seen as
benefits of pedestrian streets
so the message that I wanted to pass
For you, this is when I
I started to say that I asked that we
we are fiber is that we do not
we need only be drivers or
only cyclists or just pedestrians
nor just bus user
Yes, we can, children, children.
I showed they are animals that
they live in different ways that can
be detailed various means
so I believe that from the
moment we got to leave one
little car at home use a little
bicycle a bit the collective transport
walk a little around the city, right?
from the moment we become
free and able to live both
inside the car as outside the car
will be a great evolutionary step for
that we can have more cities
pleasant to live in the cities that
not just in the city for the
cars as we have today more
people-centered cities
[Applause]
