01:37In Baku, White City, it's very clear to see how local developments will connect to the global debates
01:42that will take place here at the World Urban Forum in May.
01:46Good architecture and master planning, they're affecting people's lives.
01:51They're affecting their day-to-day routines.
01:53So architecture and master planning, to me, one of the most important things in the world.
01:59We can say that this is the city for the future.
02:06But cities are not defined by plans alone.
02:09They are shaped by people who choose to invest their time, energy and livelihoods in them.
02:20White City is a new and up-and-coming place right now in Baku.
02:25And I think because it's new and modern, it was a natural feel for us to be here.
02:32Also, the architecture of this place was kind of designed for our idea.
02:38And also, it's kind of a mash-up of tradition and modern Baku right now.
02:45White City attracts people because it has a very young energy.
02:49It used to be an industrial area.
02:53But as a phoenix, risen from the ashes, it's just completely changed.
02:59And it's a very walkable place, people want to meet here.
03:03It has a very unique kind of look.
03:07So I think that's why it attracts people to work and live here.
03:12Beyond the architecture, this transformation is measured in momentum.
03:16In who arrives, who stays and how new ideas take root, turning once industrial space into
03:22a place of daily exchange and opportunity.
03:26The city grows stronger when local businesses grow with it.
03:31As this district grows, I think small businesses give the whole character to the place.
03:38That character is felt not only in shops and cafes, but in how people experience the city day to day.
03:45It's a unique transformation where the people are the centre and the priorities are the comfort
03:53and the walkability, so these things really do matter and they make the real impact on the whole thing.
03:58You know, when everything is closed, it's really good because you spend more time with family, not in the traffic.
04:08The school is near to us, the cafes, parks, I go to Pilates next to the home, it's very good for us.
04:15It's a combination of factors, which when they add up, that's where the change is, that's where the difference is.
04:21because it's easy to build a building and, you know, plant a few trees.
04:24It's not only about that, it's the, when you look at it all in all, it's the little aspects, it's like a chain, you know, look at it.
04:31So all these little details add up and that's where the difference is, that's where the transformation is.
04:36Taken together, the idea shaping Baku White City point to a different model of urban growth.
04:45One where planning, business and daily life are closely connected and where the city of the future is built around people and families, not just infrastructure.
