Kate Raworth: "The Superorganism V. The Doughnut"
The Great Simplification with Nate Hagens
Measuring Impacts of Global Supply Chains and Public Luxury in Cities
And what's our impact on people worldwide through global supply chains?/nWhat kind of metrics could we collect?/nThis replaces saying I'm making the stat up, but for example, I say, oh, you know, Grenobs, GDP is increased by 1.3% over the last year./nI mean, is that good or bad?/nHow will I know anything from that?/nIf I'm measuring the metrics of a place in real terms, in terms of people's lives, in terms of the ecological health and its impact in the world, it's a real story and a much more detailed story about what's happening here./nLike many cities transforming their transport systems, reducing cars, bringing in public transit and much more cycling./nThey've introduced a tax on property actually because they say we have huge inequality in our city./nWe reduce the inequalities./nSo this is quite an elected local government with pretty progressive mandate that is saying, yeah, this helps us go in that direction./nJust in terms of the kinds of actions that I see when I go to cities like Connob, like Barcelona, like Copenhagen, what recurs to me again and again is a beautiful phrase that the environmental journalist George Mombio once wrote./nHe wrote about the UK./nHe said, look, what we have here is private luxury and public squalor./nWhat we need is public luxury and private sufficiency./nWhen I go to places like these cities, I say, ah, yeah, this is what public luxury looks like, fantastic public parks, incredible mobility, low cost, fast, clean, efficient transport, good quality social housing./nAnd we have private sufficiency.
