we've<00:00:17.439> had<00:00:17.760> the<00:00:17.920> last<00:00:18.160> 50<00:00:18.520> years<00:00:19.039> we've<00:00:19.279> been
we've had the last 50 years we've been
we've had the last 50 years we've been
building<00:00:19.960> the<00:00:20.119> suburbs<00:00:20.760> with<00:00:20.920> a<00:00:21.080> lot<00:00:21.279> of
building the suburbs with a lot of
building the suburbs with a lot of
unintended<00:00:22.760> consequences<00:00:23.760> and<00:00:24.039> I'm<00:00:24.160> going<00:00:24.240> to
unintended consequences and I'm going to
unintended consequences and I'm going to
talk<00:00:24.560> about<00:00:24.720> some<00:00:24.840> of<00:00:25.000> those<00:00:25.439> consequences
talk about some of those consequences
talk about some of those consequences
and<00:00:26.640> just<00:00:26.960> present<00:00:27.359> a<00:00:27.480> whole<00:00:27.679> bunch<00:00:27.960> of<00:00:28.160> really
and just present a whole bunch of really
and just present a whole bunch of really
interesting<00:00:29.560> projects<00:00:30.080> that<00:00:30.240> I<00:00:30.359> think<00:00:31.000> give
interesting projects that I think give
interesting projects that I think give
us<00:00:31.439> tremendous<00:00:32.000> reasons<00:00:32.320> to<00:00:32.439> be<00:00:32.599> really
us tremendous reasons to be really
us tremendous reasons to be really
optimistic<00:00:33.640> that<00:00:33.960> the<00:00:34.360> big<00:00:34.640> design<00:00:34.920> and
optimistic that the big design and
optimistic that the big design and
development<00:00:35.600> project<00:00:36.200> of<00:00:36.360> the<00:00:36.520> next<00:00:36.800> 50<00:00:37.160> years
development project of the next 50 years
development project of the next 50 years
is<00:00:37.640> going<00:00:37.800> to<00:00:37.960> be<00:00:38.200> retrofitting<00:00:39.200> Suburbia<00:00:40.079> so
is going to be retrofitting Suburbia so
is going to be retrofitting Suburbia so
whether<00:00:40.640> it's<00:00:41.200> redeveloping<00:00:42.200> dying<00:00:42.640> malls<00:00:43.399> or

lots<00:00:50.800> I<00:00:50.879> think<00:00:51.399> the<00:00:51.559> fact<00:00:51.760> is<00:00:52.039> the<00:00:52.600> growing
lots I think the fact is the growing
lots I think the fact is the growing
number<00:00:54.160> of<00:00:54.760> empty<00:00:55.320> and

gives<00:01:00.800> us<00:01:01.239> actually<00:01:01.519> a<00:01:01.680> tremendous
gives us actually a tremendous
gives us actually a tremendous
opportunity<00:01:03.359> to<00:01:03.760> take<00:01:04.040> our<00:01:04.559> least
opportunity to take our least
opportunity to take our least
sustainable<00:01:05.880> Landscapes<00:01:06.600> right<00:01:06.840> now<00:01:07.560> and
sustainable Landscapes right now and
sustainable Landscapes right now and
convert<00:01:08.240> them<00:01:08.560> into<00:01:09.200> more<00:01:09.720> sustainable
convert them into more sustainable
convert them into more sustainable
places<00:01:11.560> and<00:01:11.680> in<00:01:11.799> the<00:01:12.080> process<00:01:13.040> what<00:01:13.159> that
places and in the process what that
places and in the process what that
allows<00:01:13.600> us<00:01:13.720> to<00:01:13.880> do<00:01:14.159> is<00:01:14.240> to<00:01:14.799> redirect<00:01:15.479> a<00:01:15.600> lot
allows us to do is to redirect a lot
allows us to do is to redirect a lot
more<00:01:15.960> of<00:01:16.080> our<00:01:16.280> growth<00:01:17.080> back<00:01:17.320> into<00:01:17.720> existing
more of our growth back into existing
more of our growth back into existing
communities<00:01:19.000> that<00:01:19.119> could<00:01:19.320> use<00:01:19.520> a<00:01:19.720> boost<00:01:20.200> and
communities that could use a boost and
communities that could use a boost and
have<00:01:20.640> the<00:01:20.799> infrastructure<00:01:21.360> in<00:01:21.560> place<00:01:22.439> instead
have the infrastructure in place instead
have the infrastructure in place instead
of<00:01:23.439> continuing<00:01:24.320> to<00:01:24.520> tear<00:01:24.799> down<00:01:25.040> trees<00:01:25.600> and<00:01:25.880> and
of continuing to tear down trees and and
of continuing to tear down trees and and
tear<00:01:26.240> up<00:01:26.400> the<00:01:26.479> green<00:01:26.759> space<00:01:27.040> out<00:01:27.159> at<00:01:27.320> the<00:01:27.720> edges
tear up the green space out at the edges
tear up the green space out at the edges
so<00:01:29.479> why<00:01:29.600> is<00:01:29.720> this<00:01:30.079> important<00:01:30.920> uh<00:01:31.159> I<00:01:31.240> think
so why is this important uh I think
so why is this important uh I think
there<00:01:31.920> are<00:01:32.920> any<00:01:33.119> number<00:01:33.360> of<00:01:33.560> reasons<00:01:34.200> and<00:01:34.360> I'm
there are any number of reasons and I'm
there are any number of reasons and I'm
just<00:01:34.600> going<00:01:34.680> to<00:01:35.200> not<00:01:35.399> get<00:01:35.520> into<00:01:35.759> detail<00:01:36.159> but
just going to not get into detail but
just going to not get into detail but

you<00:13:27.199> know<00:13:27.360> bulldozers<00:13:27.959> are<00:13:28.120> coming<00:13:28.360> and<00:13:28.560> just
you know bulldozers are coming and just

it's<00:13:38.160> giving<00:13:38.519> people<00:13:38.880> more<00:13:39.279> choices<00:13:40.279> um<00:13:40.399> but
it's giving people more choices um but

choices but it's also not really enough
choices but it's also not really enough
to<00:13:45.839> just<00:13:46.199> create<00:13:46.800> pockets<00:13:47.120> of<00:13:47.480> walkability
to just create pockets of walkability
