English cities of tomorrow:

Video 1:
1. Many things contribute to the degradation of the living conditions in cities, such as
the number of peoples living in cities growing rapidly but also the waste produced,
energy consumption and CO2 emission.

2. To compensate for all these deteriorations of the living conditions in cities and in
order to make them better places to live a lot of actions are set as creations of green
areas, cleaner and smarter transportation, the use of wastes to create new energy,
the smart building which use less energy by replacing it with renewables, and the
refurbishment of buildings which not only save energy but also create jobs. To put all
these actions into practice, the most important thing is to work together with local
people, to cooperate with other municipalities, but also having communications
campaigns and visions boards is especially important. The keys of everything is to use
new technologies and cleaner alternatives.

Text 2:
1. A “connected” and “smart” city is one in which new technologies are used to improve
the living conditions of the city-dwellers. These innovations can improve their lives by
different ways, the first is to put cameras in lamppost in order for example to find the
faster way to an incident scene for the emergency services or to be able to inform a
doctor about the causes of an accident which would help him for the patient care in
brief to quickly response for incidents. But new technologies can also be used to
track the pollution level or to inform when a rubbish bin is full and needs to be
empty.

2. I don’t think new technologies can solve all our problems, but I think that they could
solve part of them and improve our lives conditions by helping us doing some
annoying or dangerous things or to make our lives easier. I don’t also think that
gadgets, robots or artificial intelligences can really be the key to every problem we
have because using those also create new problems.

1. More and more people suffer from loneliness in big cities because nowadays the
cities widen and became more spread, so the peoples live more separate even in the
same city. As well peoples spend more time watching TV and, on their phone, instead
of hanging out with friends and seeing other people.
2. These apps can make people feel less lonely because they would make a link
between volunteers and peoples who needs help to fell less lonely but not only also
to cook, cleaning their houses or do gardening. These people would receive the visit
of others who come to help them so they would see more peoples and make some
friendly meets which would make them fell accompanied and regarded by the
others.

3. The others advantages for everyone are that for example the first app enable people
who love to cook to practice their passion and not to waste food, while the second
gives meanings to their sports activities and also is a great action to help the society.

4. A similar app that could make our lives better could be an app which would made a
link between persons who love gardening and who have big gardens which produce
flowers and vegetables or fruits and some old persons. The garden lovers could help
the old ones to take care of their garden and could bring them some flowers to bring
some joy in their daily life. But also, some fresh vegetables or fruit which are healthy
and good for the mentality.

1. I know that the life in New-York City is an incredibly stressful life, a fast life but over
all a town life with not a lot of green area or parks but some huge buildings and
stores everywhere.

2. The revolutionary things about the Brooklyn farmers is that they created a big farm
with a lots of vegetables outcome on the top of a building in the center of one of the
biggest cities in the world. This project is successful because they created a second
farm on the top of another building and they stats to become known by more
peoples.

3. These project can change the life in big cities because they combined the rural and
the town life in the same space and that also permit the usage of a non-use space to
do a very good activity for the environment and for the health of people.
