socially relevant content to new

participatory models of storytelling

tech developers N.G.O.s because visionary
social entrepreneurs producers design and

build new interactive media tools to support
new fic impeachment and global social

6
00:00:21,97 --> 00:00:22,20
change.

7
00:00:47,25 --> 00:00:52,01
Standing at the foot of Chicago's iconic
skyline it's hard to imagine people being

8
00:00:52,02 --> 00:00:57,25
cooked behind closed doors. But that's
what happened and a heat wave turned into

9
00:00:57,26 --> 00:01:00,40
a heat disaster in July one
thousand nine hundred five.

10
00:01:08,80 --> 00:01:14,80
Farewell. Paragraph terrified they're going
to think on any public going to library

11
00:01:15,79 --> 00:01:19,72
the medical examiner says the death toll
will go well past away hundred people

12
00:01:19,76 --> 00:01:22,28
a refrigerator truck was
brought in to store

13
00:01:22,29 --> 00:01:26,78
a body then told could get to them they're
now discovering the body that were dead

14
00:01:26,79 --> 00:01:31,14
on Thursday and Friday and they're now
discovering that they began to be composed.

15
00:01:32,98 --> 00:01:35,11
Seven hundred thirty
nine deaths in one week

16
00:01:35,73 --> 00:01:40,41
a fleet of refrigerator to hold
the overflow from the morgue and

17
00:01:40,42 --> 00:01:46,93
a mass burial victims had declared that he
disaster but according to Steve Whitman

18
00:01:47,30 --> 00:01:52,07
a city official who crunched the heat death
numbers the underlying disaster nothing

19
00:01:52,08 --> 00:01:54,14
to do with the weather this is

20
00:01:54,15 --> 00:01:59,98
a map we've shaded in those community areas
with the highest poverty levels and the

21
00:01:59,98 --> 00:02:04,59
. Community areas with the highest number
of people us and as you can see the maps

22
00:02:04,60 --> 00:02:09,24
are virtually identical where poverty was
greatest death from heat was greatest

23
00:02:09,28 --> 00:02:14,99
during the heat wave. Not coincidentally
the neighborhoods that had the highest

24
00:02:15,00 --> 00:02:19,81
number of heat deaths also had the highest
rates of diabetes the fewest grocery

25
00:02:19,82 --> 00:02:25,87
stores the most liquor stores the most empty
lots the most boarded up buildings the

26
00:02:25,88 --> 00:02:31,73
least amount of public pools and the highest
number of shooting deaths. Survival

27
00:02:32,48 --> 00:02:38,24
was largely determined by one factor
your address where you were on the map.

28
00:02:42,93 --> 00:02:44,49
It's uncomfortable to call any place

29
00:02:44,50 --> 00:02:50,46
a disaster area home to be called the
Sastra area but it is the language of the

30
00:02:50,47 --> 00:02:56,97
moment and we respond to oh my god it's
faster we gotta get prepared. Is it

31
00:02:56,98 --> 00:03:00,03
possible to kind of redefine poverty as

32
00:03:00,04 --> 00:03:07,03
a disaster. Takes extreme weather to
look at some of the stream problems

33
00:03:07,04 --> 00:03:13,22
and our society talk to me about the kind
of wacky. We like to talk about you know

34
00:03:13,23 --> 00:03:17,97
what happens and can you know it happens
and some island that we don't want to

35
00:03:17,98 --> 00:03:24,14
engage in and the fact that we have with
then the midst of the United States like

36
00:03:24,15 --> 00:03:29,36
these internal calendar issues like third
world countries that exist we want to

37
00:03:29,47 --> 00:03:35,26
hear on with changing that landscape so
that people are healthier because to that

38
00:03:35,63 --> 00:03:41,24
or you know their housing situations
and so that when something does occur

39
00:03:41,46 --> 00:03:46,52
everybody's better able to deal with
that maybe we can reframe disaster

40
00:03:46,53 --> 00:03:48,03
preparedness as

41
00:03:48,26 --> 00:03:54,33
a commitment to community or
science. Or an Williams culture list

42
00:03:54,66 --> 00:04:00,21
humanist serial optimist people know of the
relationship between food and have the

43
00:04:00,22 --> 00:04:05,08
problem is because just lack of resources
they can't actually that's what they know

44
00:04:05,50 --> 00:04:08,11
we want to mitigate that modernisation is

45
00:04:08,12 --> 00:04:13,97
a center for transformation or mission is
to develop urban agricultural and food

46
00:04:13,98 --> 00:04:20,10
based business opportunities of course the
first part of that is has anybody asked

47
00:04:20,11 --> 00:04:26,61
your community what it wants. I don't
see why that man voices here but

48
00:04:27,23 --> 00:04:32,31
I say what the possibilities get better
let's not wait for that super developer to

49
00:04:32,32 --> 00:04:37,31
come in and fix things look at do this
ourselves I came here with this idea we're

50
00:04:37,32 --> 00:04:37,89
going to create

51
00:04:37,90 --> 00:04:43,56
a mapping tool that can help people
invest in this vision which is all about

52
00:04:44,08 --> 00:04:44,37
building

53
00:04:44,38 --> 00:04:50,10
a much more resilient South Side of Chicago
working with the group and working with

54
00:04:50,15 --> 00:04:55,42
Orin we started building out the projects
it was initially just kind of this idea

55
00:04:56,05 --> 00:05:00,38
how. And we start mapping Community
Solutions urban farm here

56
00:05:00,42 --> 00:05:06,87
a community garden here. I live here
national network community around solutions

57
00:05:07,09 --> 00:05:14,00
that is built using open source you she
he crisis mapping platform it's built

58
00:05:14,07 --> 00:05:18,24
from the ground up by
participants who identify

59
00:05:18,25 --> 00:05:23,27
a piece of their neighborhood and
say I want to change this to take

60
00:05:23,28 --> 00:05:27,70
a picture of ice maybe it's
an empty lot maybe it's

61
00:05:27,82 --> 00:05:34,29
a vacant building we're at the intersection
of them the first great move or this is

62
00:05:34,35 --> 00:05:40,26
the posts like who are there community scale
grocery store and now this market and

63
00:05:40,27 --> 00:05:44,49
the hands of the residents and the
hands of activists and in the hands of

64
00:05:44,50 --> 00:05:49,31
organizers they're going to be able to say
this is what the says but this is what

65
00:05:49,32 --> 00:05:55,74
this could be almost like crowdsourcing
doesn't want to go which are very corner

66
00:05:55,75 --> 00:06:01,76
stores I think who will be interested in
us bring in our friends probably from our

67
00:06:01,77 --> 00:06:06,96
over into your store Good luck I'll give
you one quote We did that we've got you

68
00:06:06,97 --> 00:06:09,36
guys bring you when we have
someone to come in keep

69
00:06:09,37 --> 00:06:12,56
a regular is here with me
here so we didn't take

70
00:06:12,57 --> 00:06:17,31
a picture to match your picture with your
map so people were nowhere where you were

71
00:06:17,85 --> 00:06:18,16
there will be

72
00:06:18,17 --> 00:06:22,88
a network of people who are already
uploaded projects that they've gone better

73
00:06:22,93 --> 00:06:24,45
examples of solutions

74
00:06:24,66 --> 00:06:30,32
a Buyers Club where you know seventy five
families have aggregated their spending

75
00:06:30,33 --> 00:06:35,02
on local produce and they buy it all together
so it's cheaper for them but it also

76
00:06:35,03 --> 00:06:41,19
equals jobs in the community and transformation
into empty lots into Durban farm

77
00:06:42,02 --> 00:06:48,62
you can get CIO tag alerts that blast you
on your cell phone and say hey there's

78
00:06:48,63 --> 00:06:50,66
a new community garden being built there's

79
00:06:50,67 --> 00:06:55,17
a new co-op that just went up they'll be
able to see examples of this maybe not in

80
00:06:55,18 --> 00:06:59,26
their neighborhood. Maybe ten miles away
or maybe on the other side of the country

81
00:06:59,74 --> 00:07:05,51
opined Detroit Philadelphia thanks really
never and they'll find the resources that

82
00:07:05,52 --> 00:07:08,92
they meet by connecting to that
organization or by connecting to

83
00:07:08,93 --> 00:07:15,72
a resource page and they'll be
able to themselves. Where is

84
00:07:16,41 --> 00:07:22,35
the turnip greens are going to ban
the circuit and some argue from

85
00:07:22,36 --> 00:07:26,50
a way think this is a good
recycling Friday if we we're in

86
00:07:26,51 --> 00:07:31,54
a recycling urban land they're not
just trying to trying to corral

87
00:07:31,55 --> 00:07:37,18
a future economy I mean it is about social
issues but it's also about creating that

88
00:07:37,19 --> 00:07:43,70
cough from a tree and cotton fabric This
is a we have to engage the system in

89
00:07:43,71 --> 00:07:48,67
a different kind of way to do this and
we do this all of us get cheaper our

90
00:07:48,68 --> 00:07:51,70
community actually gets safer we have

91
00:07:51,71 --> 00:07:57,02
a much better kind of social interaction
with each other and to meet and be all to

92
00:07:57,03 --> 00:08:00,05
meet humors and succumb to human emotions.
