The article about the future of sities The article I'm going to talk about is an interview of Enrique Penalosa, the Columbian politician. It was published in The Guardin on October, 18, 2016. The author tells us about Habitat III, the summit of Unated Nations Organization which take place every twenty yearas to discuss the feaure of cities. According to the author, it's essential to plan the way of development for sities that already exist and the concept of building for those which have started to grow. Mr. Penalosa is convinced that the better a sity is organised the happier its citizens are, that is why the gouvernments should pay special attention to the problem of land privatisation and public trunsportation. First of all, the author underlines that private interests should not prevail over public ones. He thinks that it should be more important to build a park than to construct a business or commercial center. The gouvernment shoul have control of the land to be able to use it in the case of necessety, for example, to build a road or a park and make the citizens life easier and happier. More than that, Mr. Penalosa suggest organising special lanes for public transport and bysicles. According to him, citizens should be equal and use the same amount of road space, so it is noncens for a bus to be stuck in a traffic jam. The author shares his experience of introducing bicycle paths in Bagota which has helped to make the sity more democratic and show the people that there is no diffence between an expencive car and a bicycle in terms of moving in the sity. Also, the autor tells us about an interesting phenomenon. Like a trout in a clean or dirty water, people's behaviour may be an indicator of happy or unhappy life in the sity. If we can let our children to play in the streets by themselves, if it is not dangerous for a women to go home alone late at night, if we are not afraid of our own security when we leave a house, it means that the sity is healthy. As a counclusion, Mr.Penalosa says that it is time how to think about cisites that are going to develop during the next a couple of decades, because now we can forsee something, we can change something, bacause it is not too late to do that, unlike in case of Moscow, New York or London.
