Robert Muggah: How to protect fast-growing cities from failing

Prevodilac: Adisa Ejubovic Lektor: Mile Živković

We can cut violent deaths around the world

Možemo da umanjimo broj nasilnih smrti u svetu

by 50 percent in the next three decades.

za 50 posto u naredne tri decenije.

All we have to do is drop killing by 2.3 percent a year,

Sve što treba da uradimo je da smanjimo broj ubistava za 2,3 posto godišnje

and we'll hit that target.

i postići ćemo željeni cilj.

You don't believe me?

Ne verujete mi?

Well, the leading epidemiologists and criminologists around the world

Izgleda da vodeći epidemolozi i kriminolozi u svetu

seem to think we can, and so do I,

misle da možemo, a i ja to mislim,

but only if we focus on our cities, especially the most fragile ones.

ali samo ukoliko se fokusiramo na naše gradove, posebno na one najnestabilnije.

You see, I've been thinking about this a lot.

Znate, mnogo sam razmišljao o ovome.

For the last 20 years, I've been working

U poslednjih 20 godina, radim

in countries and cities ripped apart by conflict,

u zemljama i gradovima koje su razorili konflikti,

violence, terrorism, or some insidious combination of all.

nasilje, terorizam, ili neka kobna kombinacija svega navedenog.

I've tracked gun smugglers from Russia to Somalia,

Jurio sam krijumčare oružja od Rusije do Somalije,

I've worked with warlords in Afghanistan and the Congo,

radio sam sa vojskovođama u Avganistanu i Kongu.

I've counted cadavers in Colombia, in Haiti, in Sri Lanka, in Papua New Guinea.

Brojao sam leševe u Kolumbiji, Haitiju, Šri Lanki, Papua Novoj Gvineji.

You don't need to be on the front line, though,

Doduše, ne morate biti na bojištu,

to get a sense that our planet is spinning out of control, right?

kako biste stekli utisak da se naša planeta opire kontroli, zar ne?

There's this feeling that international instability is the new normal.

Stiče se osećaj da je međunarodna nestabilnost novi standard.

But I want you to take a closer look,

Želim da pažljivije pogledate

and I think you'll see that the geography of violence is changing,

i vidite da se geografija nasilja menja

because it's not so much our nation states that are gripped by conflict and crime

jer nisu same države u košmaru konflikta i kriminala

as our cities: Aleppo, Bamako, Caracas, Erbil, Mosul, Tripoli, Salvador.

koliko naši gradovi: Alepo, Bamako, Karakas, Erbil, Mosul, Tripoli, Salvador.

Violence is migrating to the metropole.

Nasilje se seli u metropole.

And maybe this is to be expected, right?

A ovo je možda bilo i očekivano.

After all, most people today, they live in cities, not the countryside.

Na kraju krajeva, većina ljudi danas živi u gradovima, ne u selima.

Just 600 cities, including 30 megacities, account for two thirds of global GDP.

Samo 600 gradova, uključujući i 30 megagradova, obuhvata 2/3 svetskog BDP-a.

But when it comes to cities,

Kada su u pitanju naši gradovi,

the conversation is dominated by the North,

dijalog je uspostavljen na Severu,

that is, North America, Western Europe, Australia and Japan,

tj, Severnoj Americi, Zapadnoj Evropi, Australiji i Japanu,

where violence is actually at historic lows.

gde je nasilje najniže u istoriji.

As a result, city enthusiasts, they talk about the triumph of the city,

Kao rezultat toga, zaljubljenici u gradove pričaju o trijumfu gradova,

of the creative classes, and the mayors that will rule the world.

o kreativnim klasama, o tome kako će gradonačelnici da vode svet.

Now, I hope that mayors do one day rule the world,

Ja se nadam da će gradonačelnici jednog dana vladati svetom,

but, you know, the fact is,

ali, znate, činjenica je

we don't hear any conversation, really, about what is happening in the South.

da ne čujemo nikakve razgovore o tome šta se dešava na jugu.

And by South, I mean Latin America, Africa, Asia,

Pod jugom podrazumevam Južnu Ameriku, Afriku, Aziju,

where violence in some cases is accelerating,

gde se nasilje u nekim slučajevima ubrzava,

where infrastructure is overstretched,

gde je infrastruktura zategnuta

and where governance is sometimes an aspiration and not a reality.

i gde je dobra vladavina samo težnja, a ne stvarnost.

Now, some diplomats and development experts and specialists,

Neke diplomate i stručnjaci za razvoj i specijalisti

they talk about 40 to 50 fragile states

pričaju o 40 do 50 nestabilnih država

that will shape security in the 21st century.

koje će oblikovati sigurnost 21. veka.

I think it's fragile cities which will define the future of order and disorder.

Mislim da će nestabilni gradovi definisati budućnost reda i nereda.

That's because warfare and humanitarian action

To je zato što će ratovi i humanitarna dela

are going to be concentrated in our cities,

biti skoncentrisani u našim gradovima

and the fight for development,

i borbe za razvoj,

bilo da je u pitanju iskorenje siromaštva,

whether you define that as eradicating poverty,

universal healthcare, beating back climate change,

ili globalni zdavstveni sistem, ili borba protiv klimatskih promena

will be won or lost in the shantytowns, slums and favelas of our cities.

će se dobijati ili gubiti u siromašnim četvrtima i straćarama naših gradova.

I want to talk to you about four megarisks

Želim da pričam o 4 mega rizika

that I think will define fragility in our time,

za koja smatram da će definisati nestabilnost našeg vremena,

and if we can get to grips with these,

i mislim da ako se uhvatimo u koštac s njima

možemo da nešto uradimo povodom onog problema sa nasiljem.

I think we can do something with that lethal violence problem.

So let me start with some good news.

Počeću sa lepim vestima.

Fact is, we're living in the most peaceful moment in human history.

Činjenica je da živimo u najmirnijem trenutku u istoriji čovečanstva.

Steven Pinker and others have shown how the intensity and frequency of conflict

Stiven Pinker i ostali su pokazali kako je zabeležena najniža stopa

is actually at an all-time low.

sukoba u istoriji.

Now, Gaza, Syria, Sudan, Ukraine,

Gaza, Sirija, Sudan, Ukrajina -

as ghastly as these conflicts are, and they are horrific,

koliko god da su stravični ovi sukobi, a jesu užasni,

they represent a relatively small blip upwards

oni predstavljaju relativno mali rast

in a 50-year-long secular decline.

unutar jednog 50-godišnjeg pada.

What's more, we're seeing a dramatic reduction in homicide.

Pored toga, svedoci smo velikog pada stope ubistva.

Manuel Eisner and others have shown

Manuel Ajsner i ostali su pokazali

that for centuries, we've seen this incredible drop in murder,

da već vekovima stopa ubistava drastično opada,

especially in the West.

pogotovo na Zapadu.

Most Northern cities today are 100 times safer than they were just 100 years ago.

Većina severnjačkih gradova su danas 100 puta sigurniji nego pre 100 godina.

These two facts -- the decline in armed conflict and the decline in murder --

Ove dve činjenice - pad u oružanim sukobima i pad ubistava,

are amongst the most extraordinary,

neka su od najneverovatnijih

if unheralded, accomplishments of human history,

postignuća u istoriji čovečanstva,

and we should be really excited, right?

i trebalo bi da smo jako uzbuđeni.

Well, yeah, we should.

Da, trebalo bi.

There's just one problem: These two scourges are still with us.

Samo postoji jedan problem: ove dve stvari nas i dalje muče.

You see, 525,000 people -- men, women, boys and girls --

525.000 ljudi, muškaraca, žena, dečaka i devojčica,

die violently every single year.

umre nasilnim putem, svake godine.

Research I've been doing with Keith Krause and others

Istraživanje koje sam obavio sa Kitom Krausom i ostalima

has shown that between 50,000 and 60,000 people are dying in war zones violently.

pokazalo je da između 50.000 i 60.000 ljudi pogine u ratnim zonama.

The rest, almost 500,000 people, are dying outside of conflict zones.

Ostatak, skoro 500.000 ljudi umre izvan zona sukoba.

In other words, 10 times more people are dying outside of war than inside war.

Drugim rečima, 10 puta više ljudi umre van rata nego u ratu.

What's more, violence is moving south,

Štaviše, nasilje se pomera prema jugu,

to Latin America and the Caribbean,

do Južne Amerike i Kariba,

to parts of Central and Southern Africa,

do delova centralne i južne Afrike,

and to bits of the Middle East and Central Asia.

i do delova Srednjeg istoka i centralne Azije.

Forty of the 50 most dangerous cities in the world

Od 50 najopasnijih gradova u svetu,

are right here in Latin America,

njih 40 je ovde u Južnoj Americi,

13 in Brazil,

13 u Brazilu.

and the most dangerous of all, it's San Pedro Sula, Honduras' second city,

Najopasniji od svih je San Pedro Sula, drugi po veličini grad u Hondurasu,

with a staggering homicide rate of 187 murders per 100,000 people.

čija je vrtoglava stopa ubistva 187 ubistava na 100.000 ljudi.

That's 23 times the global average.

To je 23 puta više u odnosu na svetski prosek.

Now, if violence is re-concentrating geographically,

Ako nasilje geografski menja svoju lokaciju,

it's also being reconfigured to the world's new topography,

ono se takođe rekonfiguriše u svetskoj topografiji,

because when it comes to cities, the world ain't flat,

jer kada su u pitanju gradovi, svet nije ravna linija,

like Thomas Friedman likes to say.

kao što Tomas Fridmen voli da kaže.

It's spiky.

On ide cik-cak.

The dominance of the city as the primary mode of urban living

Dominantnost grada kao primarnog načina urbanog života

is one of the most extraordinary demographic reversals in history,

jedan je od najneverovatnijih demografskih preokreta u istoriji,

and it all happened so fast.

i sve se desilo jako brzo.

You all know the figures, right?

Svi vi znate statistiku, zar ne?

There's 7.3 billion people in the world today;

Na svetu danas živi 7,3 milijarde ljudi

there will be 9.6 billion by 2050.

i do 2050. biće ih 9,6.

But consider this one fact:

Uzmite u obzir ovu činjenicu:

In the 1800s, one in 30 people lived in cities,

u 19. veku jedna od 30 osoba je živela u gradu,

today it's one in two,

danas je to jedna od dve,

and tomorrow virtually everyone is going to be there.

a sutra će skoro svi biti tamo.

And this expansion in urbanization is going to be neither even nor equitable.

Širenje usled urbanizacije neće biti niti ravnomerno niti jednako za sve.

The vast majority, 90 percent,

Velika većina, 90 posto,

will be happening in the South, in cities of the South.

će se odvijati na jugu, u gradovima juga.

So urban geographers and demographers,

Urbani geografi i demografi kažu

they tell us that it's not necessarily the size or even the density of cities

da veličina i gustoća u gradovima ne mora biti

that predicts violence, no.

isključiv pokazatelj nasilja. Ne.

Tokyo, with 35 million people,

Tokio sa 35 miliona ljudi je jedna

is one of the largest, and some might say safest, urban metropolises in the world.

od najvećih, a neki kažu, i najsigurnijih urbanih metropola na svetu.

No, it's the speed of urbanization that matters.

Ovde je bitna brzina urbanizacije.

I call this turbo-urbanization, and it's one of the key drivers of fragility.

Ja to zovem turbo-urbanizacijom i ona je jedna od ključnih pokretača nestabilnosti.

When you think about the incredible expansion of these cities,

Kada pomislite na neverovatno širenje ovih gradova

and you think about turbo-urbanization, think about Karachi.

i pomislite na turbo-urbanizaciju, pomislite na Karači.

Karachi was about 500,000 people in 1947, a hustling, bustling city.

Karači je 1947. bio užurban grad od oko pola miliona stanovnika.

Today, it's 21 million people,

Danas on ima 21 milion stanovnika,

and apart from accounting for three quarters of Pakistan's GDP,

i osim što zauzima 3 četvrtine BDP-a u Pakistanu,

it's also one of the most violent cities in South Asia.

on je i jedan od najnasilnijih gradova u južnoj Aziji.

Dhaka, Lagos, Kinshasa,

Daka, Lagos, Kinšasa.

these cities are now 40 times larger than they were in the 1950s.

Ovi gradovi su 40 puta veći nego što su bili '50-ih.

Now take a look at New York.

Pogledajmo sada Njujork.

The Big Apple, it took 150 years to get to eight million people.

Velikoj jabuci je trebalo 150 godina da dostigne 8 miliona ljudi.

São Paulo, Mexico City, took 15 to reach that same interval.

Sao Paolu i Meksiko Sitiju je trebalo 15 za isti rezultat.

Now, what do these medium, large, mega-, and hypercities look like?

Kako ovi osrednji, veliki, mega i hiper gradovi izgledaju?

What is their profile?

Kakav je njihov profil?

Well, for one thing, they're young.

Kao prvo, oni su mladi.

What we're seeing in many of them is the rise of the youth bulge.

Ono što viđamo kod mnogih je nagli porast mlade populacije.

Now, this is actually a good news story.

Ovo su zapravo dobre vesti.

It's a function of reductions in child mortality rates.

Služi za smanjenje stope smrtnosti dece.

But the youth bulge is something we've got to watch.

Ali moramo se paziti naglog porasta mlade populacije.

What it basically means

To u suštini znači

is the proportion of young people living in our fragile cities

da je razmer mladih ljudi koji žive u našim nestabilnim gradovima

is much larger than those living in our healthier and wealthier ones.

mnogo veći od onih koji žive u našim zdravijim i bogatijim gradovima.

In some fragile cities,

U nekim nestabilim gradovima

75 percent of the population is under the age of 30.

75 posto populacije ima ispod 30 godina.

Think about that: Three in four people are under 30.

Razmislite o ovome: tri od četvoro ljudi ima ispod 30 godina.

It's like Palo Alto on steroids.

To je kao Palo Alto na steroidima.

Now, if you look at Mogadishu for example,

Ako pogledate Mogadišu,

in Mogadishu the mean age is 16 years old.

srednja dob je 16 godina.

Ditto for Dhaka, Dili and Kabul.

Isto važi i za Daku, Dili i Kabul.

And Tokyo? It's 46.

A Tokio? 46.

Same for most Western European cities.

Isto važi i za većinu zapadne Evrope.

Now, it's not just youth that necessarily predicts violence.

Ne mora značiti da samo omladina uslovljava nasilje.

That's one factor among many,

To je jedan od mnogih faktora,

but youthfulness combined with unemployment, lack of education,

ali omladina u kombinaciji sa nezaposlenjem, manjkom obrazovanja

and -- this is the kicker -- being male, is a deadly proposition.

i, pazite sad ovo, muškom populacijom je smrtonosna jednačina.

They're statistically correlated, all those risk factors, with youth,

Ti faktori rizika su statistički povezani sa omladinom

and they tend to relate to increases in violence.

i teže da indiciraju porast nasilja.

Now, for those of you who are parents of teenage sons,

Za one koji su roditelji sinova tinejdžera,

you know what I'm talking about, right?

znate o čemu ja ovde govorim, zar ne?

Just imagine your boy without any structure

Zamislite svog dečaka bez ikakve strukture,

with those unruly friends of his, out there cavorting about.

zajedno sa svojim neposlušnim prijateljima kako prave dar-mar.

Now, take away the parents,

Sada uklonite roditelje,

take away the education, limit the education possibilities,

uklonite obrazovanje i ograničite mogućnosti za obrazovanje,

sprinkle in a little bit of drugs, alcohol and guns,

začinite to sa malo droge, alkohola i oružja

and sit back and watch the fireworks.

i zavalite se i uživajte u vatrometu.

The implications are disconcerting.

Implikacije su uznemirujuće.

Right here in Brazil, the life expectancy is 73.6 years.

Ovde u Brazilu životni vek je 73,6.

If you live in Rio, I'm sorry, shave off two right there.

Ako živite u Riju, smanjite to za dve.

But if you're young, you're uneducated,

Ali ako ste mladi, neobrazovani,

you lack employment, you're black, and you're male,

nezaposleni crnac,

your life expectancy drops to less than 60 years old.

vaš životni vek pada na manje od 60 godina.

There's a reason why youthfulness and violence are the number one killers

Postoji razlog zašto su mladost i nasilje glavni faktori smrtnosti

in this country.

u ovoj zemlji.

Okay, so it's not all doom and gloom in our cities.

Ali našim gradovima ne hara samo propast.

After all, cities are hubs of innovation,

Oni su ipak žarišta inovacija,

dynamism, prosperity, excitement, connectivity.

dinamike, prosperiteta, uzbuđenja, veza.

They're where the smart people gather.

Oni su mesta gde se pametni ljudi sastaju.

And those young people I just mentioned,

Ti mladi ljudi koje sam upravo spomenuo

they're more digitally savvy and tech-aware than ever before.

su mnogo više digitalno osvešćeni nego ikada.

And this explosion, the Internet, and mobile technology,

Ova eksplozija interneta i mobilne tehnologije

means that the digital divide separating the North and the South

znači da se smanjuje digitalna granica koja razdvaja sever i jug

between countries and within them, is shrinking.

između zemalja i unutar njih.

But as we've heard so many times,

Ali kao što smo mnogo puta čuli,

these new technologies are dual-edged, right?

ove nove tehnologije su mač sa dve oštrice.

Take the case of law enforcement.

Uzmite za primer sprovođenje zakona.

Police around the world are starting to use remote sensing and big data

Policija širom sveta počinje da koristi daljinske senzore i velike podatke

to anticipate crime.

kako bi predvidela zločin.

Some cops are able to predict criminal violence before it even happens.

Neki policajci mogu da predvide nasilje pre nego što se i desi.

The future crime scenario, it's here today,

Scenario budućih zločina je danas ovde

and we've got to be careful.

i mi moramo da budemo pažljivi.

We have to manage the issues of the public safety

Moramo da radimo na pitanjima javne bezbednosti

against rights to individual privacy.

u odnosu na prava na individualnu privatnost.

But it's not just the cops who are innovating.

Nisu samo policajci inovativni.

We've heard extraordinary activities of civil society groups

Čuli smo o neverovatnim aktivnostima grupa građanskog društva

who are engaging in local and global collective action,

koje se angažuju u lokalnim i globalnim kolektivnim akcijama

and this is leading to digital protest and real revolution.

što vodi do digitalnog protesta i prave revolucije.

But most worrying of all are criminal gangs

Ali najviše od svega brinu kriminalne bande

who are going online and starting to colonize cyberspace.

koje se šire onlajn i počinju da kolonizuju sajber prostor.

In Ciudad Juárez in Mexico, where I've been working,

U Sijudad Huarezu u Meksiku gde sam radio,

groups like the Zetas and the Sinaloa cartel

grupe poput Zeta i kartela Sinaloa

are hijacking social media.

otimaju društvene medije.

They're using it to recruit, to sell their products,

Koriste ih za regrutaciju i prodaju proizvoda,

to coerce, to intimidate and to kill.

za iznudu, zastrašivanje i ubijanje.

Violence is going virtual.

Nasilje prelazi u virtuelan prostor.

So this is just a partial sketch

Ovo je samo delimična skica

of a fast-moving and dynamic and complex situation.

ubrzane, dinamične i složene situacije.

I mean, there are many other megarisks

Postoje i drugi mega rizici

that are going to define fragility in our time,

koji će definisati nestabilnost u našem vremenu

not least income inequality,

gde će se sigurno naći i nejednakosti u prihodima,

poverty, climate change, impunity.

siromaštvo, promene u klimi, nekažnjivost.

But we're facing a stark dilemma

Ali suočeni smo sa potpunom dilemom

where some cities are going to thrive and drive global growth

gde će neki gradovi prosperirati i biti globalni pokretači rasta,

and others are going to stumble and pull it backwards.

a drugi će posrtati i povlačiti ih dole.

If we're going to change course, we need to start a conversation.

Ako želimo da promenimo pravac, moraćemo da započnemo dijalog.

We can't only focus on those cities that work,

Ne možemo samo da se fokusiramo na gradove koji funkcionišu,

the Singapores, the Kuala Lumpurs,

na Singapure, Kuala Lumpure,

the Dubais, the Shanghais.

Dubaije, Šangaje.

We've got to bring those fragile cities into the conversation.

Moramo da u dijalog uvedemo i nestabilne gradove.

One way to do this might be to start twinning

Jedna od strategija bi mogla biti bratimljenje

our fragile cities with our healthier and wealthier ones,

naših nestabilnih gradova sa zdravijim i imućnijim gradovima;

kickstarting a process of learning and collaboration

započinjanje procesa učenja i saradnje,

and sharing of practices, of what works and what doesn't.

i deljenja praksi, onoga što funkcioniše i ne.

A wonderful example of this is coming from El Salvador and Los Angeles,

Divan primer toga dolazi iz El Salvadora i Los Anđelesa

where the mayors in San Salvador and Los Angeles are collaborating

gde gradonačelnici San Salvadora i Los Anđelesa sarađuju

on getting ex-gang members to work with current gang members,

tako što nagovaraju bivše članove bandi da rade sa trenutnim članovima bandi,

offering tutoring, education,

daju im instrukcije, obrazovanje

and in the process are helping incubate cease-fires and truces,

i u procesu toga pomažu u izgradnji pomirenja i prekidu vatre.

and we've seen homicide rates go down in San Salvador,

Stopa ubistva u San Salvadoru,

once the world's most violent city,

jednom od najnasilnijih gradova,

by 50 percent.

se smanjila za 50 posto.

We can also focus on hot cities, but also hot spots.

Možemo i da se fokusiramo na žarišne gradove ali i žarišne tačke.

Place and location matter fundamentally in shaping violence in our cities.

Lokacija je od suštinske važnosti u oblikovanju nasilja u našim gradovima.

Did you know that between one and two percent

Da li ste znali da između 1 i 2 posto adresa

of street addresses in any fragile city

u bilo kom nestabilnom gradu

can predict up to 99 percent of violent crime?

može da predvidi do 99% nasilnih zločina?

Take the case of São Paulo, where I've been working.

Uzmite primer Sao Paola gde sam radio.

It's gone from being Brazil's most dangerous city to one of its safest,

Prešao je iz najopasnijeg grada u Brazilu u jedan od najsigurnijih,

and it did this by doubling down

a to je postigao udvostručivši

on information collection, hot spot mapping, and police reform,

sakupljanje informacija i mapiranje žarišta i policijsku reformu.

and in the process, it dropped homicide by 70 percent in just over 10 years.

U samo 10 godina smanjio je broj ubistava za 70 posto.

We also got to focus on those hot people.

Takođe treba da se fokusiramo i na žarišne grupe ljudi.

It's tragic, but being young, unemployed, uneducated, male,

Tragično je, ali ako ste mlad, nezaposlen i neobrazovan muškarac

increases the risks of being killed and killing.

to povećava rizik da budete ubijeni i da ubijete.

We have to break this cycle of violence

Moramo da prekinemo začarani krug nasilja

and get in there early with our children, our youngest children,

i da počnemo rano, sa svojom najmlađom decom

and valorize them, not stigmatize them.

i ohrabrimo ih, a ne stigmatišemo.

There's wonderful work that's happening that I've been involved with

Trenutno se odvija divan posao u koji sam i ja umešan

in Kingston, Jamaica and right here in Rio,

u Kingstonu na Jamajci i ovde u Riju,

which is putting education, employment, recreation

koji pruža obrazovanje, zaposlenje

i rekreaciju za ove visoko rizične grupe,

up front for these high-risk groups,

and as a result, we're seeing violence going down in their communities.

a rezultat je pad nasilja u njihovim zajednicama.

We've also got to make our cities safer, more inclusive, and livable for all.

Moramo da učinimo naše gradove sigurnijim, inkluzivnijim i boljim za život za sve.

The fact is, social cohesion matters.

Činjenica je da je društvena kohezija bitna.

Mobility matters in our cities.

Mobilnost je bitna za naše gradove.

We've got to get away from this model of segregation, exclusion,

Moramo da se udaljimo od ovog modela segregacije i izopštenja

and cities with walls.

i gradova sa zidinama.

My favorite example of how to do this comes from Medellín.

Moj omiljeni primer dolazi iz Medijena.

When I lived in Colombia in the late 1990s,

Kada sam živeo u Kolumbiji kasnih '90-ih,

Medellín was the murder capital of the world, but it changed course,

Medijen je bio prestonica ubistva u svetu, ali je promenio svoj pravac

and it did this by deliberately investing in its low-income and most violent areas

tako što je svesno uložio u siromašna, najnasilnija područja

and integrating them with the middle-class ones

i uključio ih u područja srednje klase

through a network of cable cars,

kroz mrežu tramvaja,

of public transport, and first-class infrastructure,

javnog prevoza i prvoklasne infrastrukture.

and in the process, it dropped homicide by 79 percent in just under two decades.

U procesu je smanjio broj ubistava za 79% u samo dve decenije.

And finally, there's technology.

Na kraju, tu je tehnologija.

Technology has enormous promise but also peril.

Tehnologija nosi veliki potencijal, ali i veliki rizik.

We've seen examples here of extraordinary innovation,

Videli smo primere neverovatnih inovacija

and much of it coming from this room,

i puno njih je izašlo iz ove prostorije.

The police are engaging in predictive analytics.

Policija se bavi analizom predviđanja.

Citizens are engaging in new crowdsourcing solutions.

Građani zajedničkim naporima pronalaze nova rešenja.

Even my own group is involved in developing applications

Čak je i moja grupa uključena u razradu aplikacija

to provide more accountability over police and increase safety among citizens.

kako bi pokazali više odgovornosti od policije i povećali sigurnost.

But we need to be careful.

Ali moramo da budemo pažljivi.

If I have one single message for you, it's this:

Ako imam samo jednu poruku, onda je to ova:

There is nothing inevitable about lethal violence,

smrtonosno nasilje se može izbeći

and we can make our cities safer.

i mi možemo učiniti naše gradove sigurnijim.

Folks, we have the opportunity of a lifetime to drop homicidal violence

Imamo priliku života da prepolovimo stopu ubistava

in half within our lifetime.

za naših života.

So I have just one question:

Imam samo jedno pitanje:

What are we waiting for?

šta čekamo?

Thank you.

Hvala.
