How a video game might help us build better cities | Karoliina Korppoo

Prevoditelj: Sanda L Recezent: Ivan Stamenković

We humans are becoming an urban species,

Mi ljudi postajemo urbana vrsta,

so cities, they are our natural habitat.

i gradovi su naše prirodno stanište.

That is where we live.

To je mjesto gdje živimo.

In 2014, over 54 percent

2014. godine, preko 54 posto

of the world population

svjetske populacije

was living in cities,

živjelo je u gradovima

and I can bet you

i mogu se kladiti s vama

that so many of these people have thought

da je mnogo od tih ljudi razmišljalo

of how they would do things differently,

kako će stvari raditi drugačije,

like if I only had the tools

kao na primjer, kad bih imao neki alat

to change things in my city,

da promijenim stvari u svom gradu,

what would I do?

što bih učinio?

What would my dream city be like?

Kako bi izgledao moj grad iz snova?

And these tools,

A ti alati,

this is just what we gave them.

to je ono što smo im dali.

Two years ago, my team and I,

Prije dvije godine, moj tim i ja

we released a game,

objavili smo video igru

"Cities: Skylines."

"Cities: Skylines."

It is a game about building cities.

To je igra o izgradnji gradova.

So I have always been interested in cities as systems.

Oduvijek su me zanimali gradovi kao sustavi.

It's something that I find immensely interesting.

Neizmjerno su mi zanimljivi.

But what I didn't understand

No, ono što nisam znala,

was that I am not alone in this.

bilo je da nisam sama u svemu tome.

People love cities.

Ljudi vole gradove.

They are interested. They have ideas.

Zanimaju ih. Imaju predodžbe o njima.

The game was an instant hit.

Igra je odmah postala hit.

So far, over three and a half million people have played it.

Do sada ju je igralo preko tri i pol milijuna ljudi.

And it's not just about playing.

I ovdje se ne radi samo o igri.

We also have really awesome sharing systems.

Imamo i zaista sjajne načine dijeljenja.

So people play, they create cities

Dakle, ljudi igraju, stvaraju gradove,

and then they are sharing these creations,

a onda dijele dalje te kreacije,

showing off what they have made.

pokazujući što su napravili.

And what I will show you

Pokazat ću vam

is some of these cities

neke od tih gradova

created by the players.

koje su stvorili igrači.

So the game is about self-expression,

Bit igre je u samoizražavanju,

creativity,

kreativnosti,

not just overcoming the challenges posed by the simulation.

a ne samo u svladavanju izazova u simulaciji.

It is about showing what your cities look like.

Radi se o pokazivanju kako vaši gradovi izgledaju.

So I have a couple of videos.

Imam ovdje nekoliko videa.

These are from YouTube.

Ovi su s YouTubea.

And these are some of the most interesting city designs I have seen.

I to su neki od najzanimljivijih dizajna gradova koje sam vidjela.

So they are all different,

Svaki je različit

and I hope you like all of these.

i nadam se da će vam se svi svidjeti.

This one is called The Netherlands.

Ovaj se zove Nizozemska.

It's by Silvarret.

Igrač je Silvarret.

And when you start the game,

I kada pokrenete igru,

you have an empty piece of land.

imate samo prazan komad zemljišta.

This land, it can be based on the real world,

Ovakvo zemljište može se temeljiti na stvarnom svijetu,

it can be hand-crafted in the map editor,

može biti ručno kreirano u uređivaču mapa,

or you can, of course, download a city made by someone else

a, naravno, možete i preuzeti grad koji je netko drugi stvorio

and play in that.

i igrati u njemu.

But what Silvarret has done here

No, ono što je Silvarret ovdje napravio,

is that what he wanted to make

on nije htio stvoriti

was not a real city.

grad koji već postoji.

This is a fantasy city,

Ovo je izmišljen grad,

even though it looks real.

iako izgleda stvarno.

So what he wanted to do was a fantasy city that could be in the Netherlands.

Dakle, htio je stvoriti izmišljen grad koji bi mogao biti u Nizozemskoj.

So he kind of investigated

Stoga je istraživao

what are the characteristics of cities in the Netherlands

koje su osobine gradova u Nizozemskoj,

and combined a couple of those,

kombinirao nekoliko njih

and this is what he created.

i stvorio je ovo.

So it is a city,

Ovo je grad

but it is not a real city,

koji nije stvaran,

but it could be.

ali bi mogao biti.

It looks just like the Netherlands.

Izgleda baš kao da je u Nizozemskoj.

So the places are really densely populated.

Mjesta su zaista gusto naseljena.

So what you need is highways, trains,

Ovdje trebate prometnice, vlakove,

anything connecting these small town centers together.

sve što povezuje središta ovih malih gradova.

Lots of people, lots of moving,

Mnogo ljudi, mnogo kretanja,

so transportation is the key here.

stoga je prijevoz ovdje ključan.

But then let's go even more on the fantasy side.

Krenimo još dalje na stranu mašte.

Let's go into the future.

Krenimo u budućnost.

This is one of my personal favorites.

Ovo je jedan od mojih omiljenih primjera.

These city designs are what I love the most.

Najviše volim ovakvo kreiranje novih gradova.

So this is a tiered city by Conflictnerd,

Ovaj grad kreirao je Conflictnerd

and the basic idea is that you have concentric circle routes.

i osnovna ideja su rute u obliku koncentričnih krugova.

So the city is a big circle

Stoga grad ima oblik kruga

with tinier circles inside.

i još manje unutarnje krugove.

And the thing is that you put all of the services in the center,

Sve usluge smještaju se u centar,

and then people actually live on the outer ring,

a ljudi žive u vanjskom krugu,

because there is less traffic, less noise, less pollution,

jer je tamo manje prometa, buke i zagađenja,

so that is where you want to live.

stoga tamo želite živjeti.

But the services are still really close by.

No, i dalje su svi sadržaji blizu.

They are in the center.

Nalaze se u centru.

And this is the soul of the game.

I ovo je bit igre.

The player has to understand

Igrač mora razumjeti

what are the wishes, what are the needs

koje su želje i potrebe

of the tiny people living in the cities.

sićušnih ljudi koji žive u gradovima.

So you need to know where you should put the things.

Trebate znati gdje što smjestiti.

Like, it's not enough to have a hospital.

Nije dovoljno samo imati bolnicu.

It needs to be accessible.

Ona mora biti na pristupačnom mjestu.

Citizens need to reach the hospital.

Građani moraju lako doći do bolnice.

And this is one way to do it.

I to je jedan način.

So maybe this is something that we might be seeing someday.

To je možda nešto što ćemo jednog dana gledati.

And then even more into the future.

I još više u budućnosti.

Astergea by Yuttho.

Grad Astergea, igrač Yuttho.

So Yuttho does YouTube videos and plays the game.

Yuttho snima videe na YouTubeu i igra igru.

What he did here was actually a 12-point series

On je kreirao seriju u 12 nastavaka

of creating this city.

o kreiranju ovog grada.

So what he does is he plays the game,

On igra igru,

he records it

snima je

and he explains as he's going what he's doing and why.

i kroz igru objašnjava što radi i zašto.

And as a part of this series,

I kao dio tog serijala

he actually did an interview with an actual urban planner

imao je intervju s pravim stručnjakom za urbano planiranje,

called Jeff Speck.

Jeffom Speckom.

And Speck is an expert on the concept of walkability.

Speck je stručnjak za koncept zona pješačenja.

The basic idea is that if you want your citizens to walk,

Osnovna ideja je, ako želite da vaši građani pješače,

which is kind of beneficial,

što je dobro za njih,

you actually need to have walking as a reasonable means of transportation.

pješačenje treba biti jedno od razumnih opcija transporta.

It should be a good way to reach places.

Mora biti dobar način da se dođe negdje.

So what Yuttho did was that he explained this concept,

Yuttho je objasnio taj koncept,

he had Speck explain it, too,

objasnio ga je i Speck,

and then he applied it to the city that he was building.

a onda ga je primjenio na grad koji je stvarao.

So what we are seeing is Yuttho's vision of the future:

Ovo je Yutthova vizija budućnosti:

lots of public transportation, walkways, plazas,

mnogo javnog prijevoza, pješačkih staza, trgova,

connecting high-rise buildings.

koji povezuju te visoke zgrade.

Maybe this is what the future might look like.

Možda bi ovako mogla izgledati budućnost.

And the game system works really well for this.

I koncept igre se tu zaista dobro uklapa.

We are seeing some real-world uses to this game.

Tu vidimo neke primjene iz stvarnog svijeta.

So we know that some urban planners are using it as a sketching tool,

Znamo da ga neki stručnjaci za urbano planiranje koriste kao alat za skiciranje

so while the simulation is not completely realistic,

i premda simulacija nije posve realistična,

it is realistic enough that if something works in the game,

dovoljno je realistična da, ako nešto funkcionira u igri,

it is highly likely that it will also work in the real world,

vrlo je vjerojatno da će funkcionirati i u stvarnom svijetu,

so that you can actually try out things,

tako da isprobaš stvari

see if this intersection might fit this kind of a situation.

i vidiš ako bi se taj presjek mogao uklopiti u takvo okruženje.

If we build a new road, would it help?

Ako gradimo novu cestu, bi li to pomoglo?

And this is what you can do with this game.

Tako možete isprobati ovu igru.

There was one really interesting contest held

Bilo je jedno zanimljivo natjecanje

by the Finnish city of Hämeenlinna.

u finskom gradu Hämeenlinna.

So what they did was that they had a new area

Imali su jedno područje

that they wanted to develop in the city.

koje su željeli razviti u gradu.

They made a map with the existing city,

Napravili su mapu postojećeg grada,

they left empty the area that they would want to develop

zonu koju su htjeli izgraditi ostavili su praznom

and shared this map.

i podijelili su mapu s drugima.

So anyone could download the map,

Svatko je mogao preuzeti mapu,

play the game, build the area

igrati igru, izgraditi tu zonu

and submit their creations to the city council.

i svoju kreaciju poslati vijeću grada.

So they have not yet built anything,

Do sada još nisu ništa izgradili,

but it might just be that they use one of these plans

ali moguće je da iskoriste jedan od tih planova

made with the game

stvorenih pomoću te igre,

to actually build the real city.

da zaista izgrade pravi grad.

And these videos that I have shown you,

Ovi videi koje sam vam pokazala,

these are the people who are coming up with new kinds of solutions.

ovo su ljudi koji smišljaju nova rješenja.

We know that cities are growing.

Znamo da gradovi rastu.

They're getting bigger as we go,

Postaju sve veći

and the percentage of population living in cities is projected to rise.

i predviđa se da će postotak stanovništva koje živi u gradovima rasti.

So we need the solutions

Zato trebamo rješenja

and these people, playing the game,

a ti ljudi, igrajući ovu igru,

they are trying out different kinds of solutions.

iskušavaju različita rješenja.

They might have something that is really important.

Možda imaju nešto što je vrlo važno.

So what we are seeing here is dream cities that might be real one day.

Dakle, ovdje vidimo zamišljene gradove koji jednog dana mogu postati i stvarni.

So it might be

Zato možda

that this is not just a game.

ovo i nije samo igra.

It might be a way

Ovo bi mogao biti način

to decide our own fate.

da odlučujemo o vlastitoj sudbini.

Thank you.

Hvala.
