Translator: Jenny Zurawell

Translator: Andriankoto Ratozamanana Reviewer: andry ravololonjatovo

It's a great honor to be here.

Voninahitra lehibe ho ahy ny mijoro eto.

It's a great honor to be here talking about cities,

Voninahitra lehibe ho ahy ny fahazoako miresaka ireo tanan-dehibe,

talking about the future of cities.

ny miresaka ny hoavin'ireo tanan-dehibe.

It's great to be here as a mayor.

Voninahitra lehibe ho ahy ny mijoro eto amin'ny maha ben'ny tanana ahy.

I really do believe that mayors have the political position

Inoako tokoa fa ny ben'ny tanana dia manana toerana politika ahafahany

to really change people's lives.

manova marina ny fiainan'ny olona.

That's the place to be.

Eto no tokony hijoroana.

And it's great to be here as the mayor of Rio.

Ary mahafinaritra ny mijoro eto amin'ny maha ben'ny tananan'ny Rio ahy.

Rio's a beautiful city,

Rio dia tanan-dehibe mahafinaritra,

a vibrant place, special place.

toerana feno fiainana, toerana hafa kely

Actually, you're looking at a guy

Amin'izao fotoana izao ianao dia mijery lehilahy

who has the best job in the world.

manana ny asa tsara indrindra eran-tany.

And I really wanted to share with you

Androany aho dia hizara aminareo

a very special moment of my life

fotoana manan-tantara tamin'ny fiainako

and the history of the city of Rio.

ary koa ny tantaran'ny tananan'i Rio.

(Video) Announcer: And now, ladies and gentlemen,

(Video) Mpanolotra: Amin'izao fotoana izao, tompokolahy sy tompokovavy,

the envelope containing the result.

ny valopy misy ny valiny.

Jacques Rogge: I have the honor to announce

Jacques Rogge: Voninahitra ho ahy ny manambara

that the games of the 31st Olympiad

fa ny Lalao Olimpika faha- 31

are awarded to the city of Rio de Janeiro.

dia hatao ao amin'ny tanànan'i Rio de Janeiro.

(Cheering)

(Tehaka mirefodrefotra)

EP: Okay, that's very touching, very emotional,

EP: Eny, mampihetsi-po tokoa, ary tena manohina,

but it was not easy to get there.

fa tsy mora ny nahatongavana tamin'izany.

Actually it was a very hard challenge.

Eto aho dia milaza fa fanamby lehibe tokoa no nahazoana izany.

We had to beat the European monarchy.

Nila nandresy ny fanjakan'ny eropeanina.

This is Juan Carlos, king of Spain.

Indro i Juan Carlos, mpanjakan'i Espagne.

We had to beat the powerful Japanese with all of their technology.

Tsy maintsy nandresy ny firenena matanjaka japoney sy ireo teknolojiany izahay.

We had to beat the most powerful man in the world

Tsy maintsy noresena ihany koa ny lehilahy mahery indrindra eran-tany

defending his own city.

izay miaro ny tananany

So it was not easy at all.

Tsy azo lazaina hoe mora izany.

And actually this last guy here said a phrase a few years ago

Ary ity farany dia nilaza izao fehezan-teny izao taona vitsivitsy lasa izay

that I think fits perfectly to the situation

izay inoako fa mifanentana tsara amin'izao

of Rio winning the Olympic bid.

fahazoan'i Rio ny fifidianana ny tanàna handray ny Lalao izao.

We really showed that, yes, we can.

Nasehonay fa, "Yes, we can" [Eny, Vitatsika]

And really, this is the reason I came here tonight.

Ka indro ary ny antony maha eto ahy androany hariva.

I came here tonight to tell you

Tonga eto aho androany hariva hitantara aminareo

that things can be done,

fa azo atao ny zava-drehetra,

that you don't have always to be rich or powerful

tsy ilana akory ny fananana harena na ny hery

to get things on the way,

ahatratrarana ny tanjona,

that cities are a great challenge.

ny filazana fa mila fanamby goavana ny tanan-dehibe.

It's a difficult task to deal with cities.

Sarotra ny miasa ho an'ny tanan-dehibe.

But with some original ways

Fa misy kosa fomba miavaka

of getting things done,

hanaovan-javatra,

with some basic commandments,

miaraka amin'ny fametrahana didy tsotra,

you can really get cities

afaka tokoa ianareo manova ireny tanan-dehibe ireny

to be a great, great place to live.

ho tanana maha-tamàna.

I want you all to imagine Rio.

Tiako alainareo sary an-tsaina i Rio.

You probably think about a city full of energy,

Eritreretinareo angamba fa tanàna mihetsiketsika,

a vibrant city full of green.

tanàna feno fiainana ary maitso.

And nobody showed that better

Ary tsy nisy olona afaka nampiseho tsara izany

than Carlos Saldanha in last year's "Rio."

toy i Carlos Saldanha tao amin'ny sary mihetsika mitondra ny lohateny hoe "Rio", tamin'ny taona lasa.

(Music)

(Mozika)

(Video) Bird: This is incredible.

(Video) Vorona: Tsy mampino

(Music)

(Mozika)

EP: Okay, some parts of Rio are pretty much like that,

EP: Eny, ny ampahany sasan-tsasany amin'ny Rio dia toy izao

but it's not like that everywhere.

fa tsy izy rehetra.

We're like every big city in the world.

Izahay dia toy ny tanàna rehetra eran-tany.

We've got lots of people,

Maro be ny mponina aty aminay,

pollution, cars, concrete, lots of concrete.

ny loto, ireo fiarakodia, ireo varafasy.

These pictures I'm showing here,

Ireo sary nasehoko taminareo ireo,

they are some pictures from Madureira.

dia sarin'i Madureira.

It's like the heart of the suburb in Rio.

Hoatran'ny hoe fon'ny zanabohitr'i Rio.

And I want to use an example of Rio

Ary eto aho dia hanome ohatra misy eto Rio

that we're doing in Madureira, in this region,

zavatra hataonay any Madureira, amin'ity faritra ity

to see what we should think as our first commandment.

ahitantsika izay ho tokony ho adidy voalohany ho raisina.

So every time you see a concrete jungle like that,

Isaky ny mahita ala mikitroka vita amin'ny simenitra matevina toy itony,

what you've got to do is find open spaces.

ny tokony atao dia mitady toerana malalaka

If you don't have open spaces,

Raha toa ka tsy misy toerana malalaka

you've got to go there and open spaces.

dia mila mankany an-toerana manokatra izany.

So go inside these open spaces

Mankanesa amin'ireny toerana malalaka

and make it that people can get inside

ary ataovy izay ahafan'ny olona mankany

and use those spaces.

sy mampiasa izany toerana izany.

This is going to be the third largest park in Rio

Ho lasa toeram-pilalaovana lehibe indrindra faha-telo eto Rio

by June this year.

amin'ny volana Jiona hoavy izao.

It's going to be a place where people can meet,

Ho toerana ahafahan'ny olona mihaona,

where you can put nature.

ho toerana hisy zavaboary.

The temperature's going to drop two, three degrees centigrade.

Hiiba roa na telo degre ny mari-pàna

So the first commandment

Ny didy voalohany

I want to leave you tonight

tiako hapetraka aminareo androany hariva

is, a city of the future

dia ny hoe, ny tanan-dehibe hoavy

has to be environmentally friendly.

dia tokony haha-tamàna eo amin'ny lafin'ny tontolo iainana.

Every time you think of a city,

Isaky ny mieritreritra tanàn-dehibe ianareo,

you've got to think green.

dia tokony ho zava-maitso ny ao an-tsaina.

You've got to think green and green.

Mila mieritreritra zava-maitso ary zava-maintso hatrany.

So moving to our second commandment that I wanted to show you.

Hiroso amin'ny fanapahan-kevitra faharoa izay tiako haseho aminareo aho.

Let's think that cities are made of people,

Eritrereto hoe ny tanàn-dehibe dia nohon'ny mponina ao aminy,

lots of people together.

olona maro an'isa.

cities are packed with people.

Ny tanàn-dehibe dia feno olona.

So how do you move these people around?

Arak'izany, ahoana ny fomba hifaneraseran'ireny olona ireny ?

When you have 3.5 billion people living in cities --

Raha fantatra fa telo faingo dimy lavitr'isa no isan'ny olona miaina an-tanàn-dehibe --

by 2050, it's going to be 6 billion people.

amin'ny taona 2050, dia ho 6 lavitrisa izany.

So every time you think about moving these people around,

Ka, isaky ny mieritreritra ny fivezivezen'ireo olona ireo ianareo,

you think about high-capacity transportation.

dia mila fomba fifamoivohizana mahazaka olona maro.

But there is a problem.

Nefa misy olana.

High-capacity transportation means

Ny fananana ireo fitaovam-pifamoivoizana mahazaka olona maro ireo dia midika

spending lots and lots of money.

fandaniam-bola lehibe.

So what I'm going to show here

Ny ho asehoko anareo eto

is something that was already presented in TED

dia zavatra efa naseho teto amin'ny TED ihany,

by the former mayor of Curitiba

nasehon'ny ben'ny tanànan'i Curitiba teo aloha

who created that, a city in Brazil, Jaime Lerner.

izay namorona ity, tanàna iray eto brésil, Jaime Lerner.

And it's something that we're doing, again, lots in Rio.

Io zavatra io ihany no averinay eto Rio.

It's the BRT, the Bus Rapid Transit.

Io no antsoina hoe BRT, na koa "Bus Rapid Transit".

So you get a bus. It's a simple bus that everybody knows.

Misy Bus any aminareo. Izy ity dia toy ny bus rehetra izay efa fantatry ny olona rehetra.

You transform it inside as a train car.

Ny ao anatiny dia ovaina ho kalesin-dalamby.

You use separate lanes, dedicated lanes.

Mampiasa zotra misaraka, zotra izay efa voatokana.

The contractors, they don't like that.

Ny mpandraharaha, tsy dia tia loatra azy ity.

You don't have to dig deep down underground.

Tsy dia mila mangady lalina loatra.

You can build nice stations.

Afaka manamboatra fiantsonana mahafinaritra.

This is actually a station that we're doing in Rio.

Ity ohatra dia misy toerana fiantsonana izay amboarinay ao Rio.

Again, you don't have to dig deep down underground

Averiko indray mandeha, tsy dia ilaina ny mangady lalina loatra

to make a station like that.

raha hanao toerana fiantsonana toy itony.

This station has the same comfort, the same features

Ity fiantsonana ity dia mitovy hatsarana, mitovy zava-bita

as a subway station.

amin'ny fiantsonana "métro"

A kilometer of this costs a tenth of a subway.

Iray kilometatra amin'io anefa dia am-pahafolon'ny vidin'ny métro.

So spending much less money and doing it much faster,

Tsy dia mandany vola betsaka, kanefa mahavita haingana kokoa,

you can really change the way people move.

afaka manova marina ny fivezivezen'ny olona.

This is a map of Rio.

Indro misy sarintanin'i Rio.

All the lines, the colored lines you see there,

Ireo làlana rehetra, ny làlana rehetra miloko hitanao eto,

it's our high-capacity transportation network.

dia tamba-jotra fitanterana mahazaka olona maro.

In this present time today,

Amin'izao fotoana izao,

we only carry 18 percent of our population

dia mitatitra 18% n'ny mponina misy ao aminay izahay

in high-capacity transportation.

amin'ny alalan'ireo fomba fitanterana mahazaka olona maro ireo

With the BRTs we're doing,

Miaraka amin'ny BRT izay ataonay,

again, the cheapest and fastest way,

marihiko eto indray, fa mora vidy sy haingam-pandeha,

we're going to move to 63 percent of the population

hisondrotra 63% ny mponina

being carried by high-capacity transportation.

ho tanterina amin'itony fomba fitanterana mahazaka olona maro itony.

So remember what I said:

Tadidio ny teniko teo:

You don't always have to be rich or powerful

Tsy ilaina akory ny manan-karena sy matanjaka

to get things done.

ahavitana zavatra.

You can find original ways to get things done.

Afaka mahita fomba hafa ianao hanaovan-javatra.

So the second commandment I want to leave you tonight

Ny didy faharoa homeko anareo androany hariva

is, a city of the future

dia, ny tanànan'ny ampitso

has to deal with mobility and integration

dia mila miatrika ny fitanterana ny olona rehetra

of its people.

monina ao aminy.

Moving to the third commandment.

Hojerentsika ny didy fahatelo.

And this is the most controversial one.

Izy ity no miteraka ny ady hevitra betsaka indrindra.

It has to do with the favelas, the slums --

ary mahakasika ny faritra iva, ireo fokontany mahantra

whatever you call it, there are different names all over the world.

antsoy amin'izay tianareo iantsoana azy, omena anarana isan-karazany izy ireny eran-tany.

But the point we want to make here tonight

Fa ny tiana hotsipihina eto androany

is, favelas are not always a problem.

dia: tsy voatery ho olana ireny faritra iva ireny.

I mean, favelas can sometimes

Ny tiako ho lazaina dia izao, ny faritra iva ihany koa

really be a solution,

dia mety ho vaha-olana,

if you deal with them,

raha toa ka karakaraintsika izy ireny,

if you put public policy inside the favelas.

raha toa ka asiana mpitandro ny filaminana amin'ireny faritra iva ireny.

Let me just show a map of Rio again.

Aleo asehoko anareo amin'ny sarintany.

Rio has 6.3 million inhabitants --

Rio dia misy mponina 6,3 tapitrisa--

More than 20 percent, 1.4 million, live in the favelas.

Maherin'ny 20%, 1,4 tapitrisa, dia miaina amin'izany faritra iva izany.

All these red parts are favelas.

Ireny faritra menamena ireny dia faritra iva avokoa.

So you see, they are spread all over the city.

Raha jerenareo, dia miparitaka manerana ny renivohitra izy ireny.

This is a typical view of a favela in Rio.

Toy izao ohatra izany faritra iva ao Rio izany raha jerena.

You see the contrast between the rich and poor.

Hita miavaka tokoa ny mpanan-karena sy ny mahantra.

So I want to make two points here tonight about favelas.

Anio dia zavatra roa no tiako hasongadina mikasika ny faritra iva.

The first one is,

Ny voalohany dia ity,

you can change from what I call a [vicious] circle

afaka ovany avy amin'ny olana tsy misy fetra

to a virtual circle.

ho vahaolana tsy manam-petra izy ireny.

But what you've got to do to get that

Mba hatongavana amin'izany kosa

is you've got to go inside the favelas,

dia mila miditra any anatin'ireny faritra iva ireny,

bring in the basic services --

mitondra ireo filàna fototra--

mainly education and health -- with high quality.

indrindra indrindra fa ny fanabeazana, ny fahasalamana -- manara-penitra.

I'm going to give a fast example here.

Omeko ohatra maimaika ianareo.

This was an old building in a favela in Rio --

Ity dia trano avo antitrantitra amin'ny faritra iva iray ao Rio --

[unclear favela name] --

[tsy dia mazava ny anaran'ilay toerana]

that we just transformed into a primary school,

izay novainay ho sekoly ambaratonga fototra,

with high quality.

manara-penitra.

This is primary assistance in health

Ity dia toeram-piandraiketana ara-pahasalamana ifotony

that we built inside a favela,

izay naorinay tamina faritra iva iray,

again, with high quality.

manara-penitra ihany koa.

We call it a family clinic.

Toera-pitsaboana hoan'ny fianakaviana no iantsoanay azy.

So the first point is bring basic services

Ny tokony atao voalohany dia ny fitondrana ny filàna fototra

inside the favelas

amin'ireny faritra iva ireny

with high quality.

ary manara-penitra izany.

The second point I want to make about the favelas

Ny teboka faharoa tiako hapetraka dia izao,

is, you've got to open spaces in the favela.

mila anokafana sehatra malalaka amin'ireny faritra iva ireny.

Bring infrastructure

Manorena fotodrafitrasa

to the favelas, to the slums, wherever you are.

any amin'ny faritra iva, any amin'ny fokontany mahantra, n'aiza n'aiza misy anareo.

Rio has the aim, by 2020,

Rio dia manana tanjona tratrarina amin'ny 2020,

to have all its favelas completely urbanized.

dia ny mba ho tanàn-dehibe tanteraka ny faritra iva ao aminy.

Another example, this was completely packed with houses,

Ohatra iray hafa, ity toerana ity taloha dia feno trano,

and then we built this, what we call, a knowledge square.

avy eo izahay nanangana an'ity, izay antsoinay hoe toeran'ny fahalalàna.

This is a place with high technology

Toerana misy ny teknolojia farany

where the kids that live in a poor house next to this place

ny ankizy mipetraka amin'ny trano manodidina ity toerana ity

can go inside and have access to all technology.

dia miditra ao ary mampiasa ireo teknolojia farany izay misy ao.

We even built a theater there -- 3D movie.

Nasianay trano fijerena sary mihetsika mihitsy ary tao--ary sary mihetsika 3D.

And this is the kind of change you can get for that.

Ary toy izany ny fiovana azonao amin'izany.

And by the end of the day you get something better than a TED Prize,

Ary mandra-pahariva ny andro dia betsaka nohon'ny loka "TED prize" no ho azonao amin'izany,

which is this great laugh

dia ny tsiky feno hafaliana

from a kid that lives in the favela.

atolotry ny ankizy miaina amin'ireny faritra iva ireny.

So the third commandment I want to leave here tonight

Ny didy fahatelo apetrako aminareo anio

is, a city of the future

dia: ny tanàn-dehibe ho avy

has to be socially integrated.

dia tokony hampidirana ny resaka sosialy.

You cannot deal with a city

Tsy tokony hisy tanàn-dehibe

if it's not socially integrated.

izay tsy manana ny lafiny sosialy mifampiditra aminy.

But moving to our fourth commandment,

Mba ahafahako miampita amin'ny didy faha efatra,

I really wouldn't be here tonight.

Raha ny tokony ho izy dia tsy tokony ho eto aho androany.

Between November and May, Rio's completely packed.

Ny vola novambra sy may, dia feno olona i Rio

We just had last week Carnivale.

Tamin'ny herin'andro ambony izahay dia tao anatin'ny Carnaval.

It was great. It was lots of fun.

Nahafinaritra tokoa. Ary tena nampiala voly.

We have New Year's Eve.

Eo koa ny fankalazana ny faran'ny taona.

There's like two million people on Copacabana Beach.

Misy olona miisa 2 tapitrisa eo eny amoron-tsirak'i Copacabana.

We have problems.

Misy olana izahay.

We fight floods, tropical rains at this time of the year.

Miady amin'ny fiakaran'ny rano izahay, ny oram-pahavaratra amin'izao vanim-potoana izao.

You can imagine how people get happy with me

Azonareo an-tsaina ny hafalian'ny olona manana ahy

watching these kinds of scenes.

raha mijery izao zavatra ataoko izao.

We have problems with the tropical rains.

Manana olana maro izahay nohon'ny oram-pahavaratra.

Almost every year

Matetika isan-taona

we have these landslides, which are terrible.

eo ny fihotsahan'ny tany, izay mampidi-doza.

But the reason I could come here

Fa ny antony nahatonga ahy ho tonga eto

is because of that.

dia nohon'izany antony izany.

This was something we did with IBM

Zavatra niarahanay niasa tamin'i IBM

that's a little bit more than a year old.

herin-taona mahery izay.

It's what we call the Operations Center of Rio.

Izay antsoinay hoe "Foibe Fitantanana"

And I wanted to show that I can govern my city, using technology,

Ary tiako aseho anareo fa voafehiko ny fitantanana ny tanàna, amin'ny fampiasana teknolojia.

from here, from Long Beach,

avy eto Long Beach,

so I got here last night and I know everything.

tonga teto aho alina de fantatro daholo ny zavatra mitranga.

We're going to speak now to the Operations Center.

Aleo ho resahan-tsika izao ny momban'ny Foibe Fitantanana.

This is Osorio,

Indro Osorio

he's our secretary of urban affairs.

izy no mpiandraikitra ny raharaha an-drenivohitra any aminay.

So Osorio, good to be there with you.

Osorio, tsara ny miaraka aminao any.

I've already told the people

Efa nilazako ny olona rehetra

that we have tropical rain this time of year.

fa misy oram-pahavaratra isika amin'izao vanim-potoana izao.

So how's the weather in Rio now?

Manahoana ny toetr'andro any Rio any amin'izao ?

Osorio: The weather is fine. We have fair weather today.

Osorio: Tasara ny andro. Mibaliaka ny masoandro androany.

Let me get you our weather satellite radar.

Asehoko anareo ny "radar satellite" ny teotr'andro.

You see just a little bit of moisture around the city.

Somary mando kely fotsiny ny manodidina ny tanàna.

Absolutely no problem in the city in terms of weather,

Tsy misy olana ara-toetr'andro ny ao an-tanàn-dehibe,

today and in the next few days.

anio sy ny andro manaraka.

EP: Okay, how's the traffic?

EP: Tsara izany, ary mahoana kosa ny fifamoivoizan'ny fiara?

We, at this time of year, get lots of traffic jams.

Amin'ny vanin'andro toy izao izahay dia somary mitohana ny fifamoivoizana.

People get mad at the mayor. So how's the traffic tonight?

Manontany ny ben'ny tanana ny olona. Manahoana ny fifamoivoizan'ny fiara anio hariva ?

Osario: Well traffic tonight is fine.

Osario: Mizotra tsara ny fifamoivoizana anio hariva.

Let me get you one of our 8,000 buses.

Ndeha ho jerena ny iray amin'ireo bus 8000

A live transmission in downtown Rio for you, Mr. Mayor.

Fampitàna mivantana avy ao an-tampon-tanànan'i Rio ho anao Andriamatoa Ben'ny tanana.

You see, the streets are clear.

Hitanareo amin'izao fa malalaka ny làlana.

Now it's 11:00 pm in Rio.

Efa amin'ny 11 alina izao any Rio.

Nothing of concern in terms of traffic.

Tsy misy olana ny lafin'ny fifamoivoizana.

I'll get to you now the incidents of the day.

Ho tantaraiko aminareo amin'izay ny zavatra rehetra nitranga androany.

We had heavy traffic early in the morning

Nikatso ny fifamoivoizan'ny fiara tamin'ny maraina teo

and in the rush hour in the afternoon,

ny atoandro tamin'ny ora firavana ihany koa,

but nothing of big concern.

fa tsy dia nisy olana goavana.

We are below average

Izao isika dia efa latsaky ny salan'isa

in terms of traffic incidents in the city.

raha ny lozam-pifamoivoizana an-tanàn-dehibe no resahina.

EP: Okay, so you're showing now some public services.

EP: Mazava, asehoy anay kely hoe ny mikasika ireo raharaham-bahoaka.

These are the cars.

Ireto ireo fiara.

Osorio: Absolutely, Mr. Mayor.

Osorio: Izy indrindra, Andriamatoa ben'ny tanàna.

Let me get you the fleet of our waste collection trucks.

Indro asehoko anareo ny toerana fiantsonan'ny fiara mpaka fako.

This is live transmission.

Marihiko fa mivantana isika izao.

We have GPS's in all of our trucks.

Misy GPS avokoa ireo fiara rehetra.

And you can see them working

Ireo hitanareo mandeha ireny

in all parts of the city.

manerana ny renivohitra.

Waste collection on time.

Maka ny fako rehetra ara-potoana.

Public services working well.

Mandeha tsara ny raharaham-bahoaka.

EP: Okay, Osorio, thank you very much.

EP: Eny ary, Osorio, misaotra betsaka.

It was great to have you here.

Amin-kafaliana lehibe ny fananana anao aty.

We're going to move so that I can make a conclusion.

Handroso isika ahafahana mametraka ny teny famaranana.

(Applause)

(tehaka mirefodrefotra)

Okay, so no files, this place, no paperwork,

Eny, tsy misy fitahirizana an-taratasy eto ary tsy misy taratasy atao,

no distance, 24/7 working.

tsy misy elanelana, miasa andro aman'alina mandritry ny herinandro

So the fourth commandment I want to share with you here tonight

Ny didy faha efatra hozaraiko aminareo eto androany hariva

is, a city of the future

dia: ny tanàn-dehibe rahampitso

has to use technology to be present.

dia mila ny fampiasana teknolojia eo anivony.

I don't need to be there anymore to know and to administrate the city.

Tsy mila eny an-toerana akory ny fitantanana ny tanàna.

But everything that I said here tonight, or the commandments,

Fa ny zavatra rehetra nolazaiko androany, ireo didy voalazako ireo

are means, are ways,

dia fomba samihafa,

for us to govern cities --

fitantanana tanàn-dehibe --

invest in infrastructure, invest in the green,

mampiasà vola amin'ny fanorenana fotodrafitrasa, mampiasà vola amin'ny tontolo iainana,

open parks, open spaces,

manokafa kianja filalaovana sy toerana malalaka,

integrate socially, use technology.

ampidiro ny lafiny sosialy, ampiasao ny teknolojia.

But at the end of the day, when we talk about cities,

Fa raha zohina, rehefa miresaka tanan-dehibe isika,

we talk about a gathering of people.

dia miresaka fampifandraisana ny olona

And we cannot see that as a problem.

ary tsy tokony izany no olana.

That is fantastic.

Tena mahafinaritra.

If there's 3.5 billion now,

Raha misy 3,5 lavitrisa amin'izao,

it's going to be six billion then it's going to be 10 billion.

hiakatra 6 lavitrisa izany ary ho tonga 10 lavitrisa.

That is great, that means we're going to have

Tsara tokoa izany, satria midika fa

10 billion minds working together,

10 lavitrisa ny saina miara miasa,

10 billion talents together.

10 lavitrisa ny talenta mitambatra.

So a city of the future,

Ny tanàn-dehibe ho avy,

I really do believe

dia inoako

that it's a city that cares about its citizens,

fa ho tanàna liana amin'ny mponina ao aminy,

integrates socially its citizens.

mampifandray ny lafiny socialy ny mponina ao aminy.

A city of the future is a city that can never let anyone out

Ny tanàn-dehibe hoavy dia tanàna tsy mamela ny olona

of this great party, which are cities.

any ivelan'ny fety lehibe, izay antsoina hoe tanàn-dehibe.

Thank you very much.

Misaotra betsaka.
