behind me we have the city of chicago in illinois recognized for being one of the best big cities to live not only in the usa but on the planet one of the best big cities to live in the usa or the planet are big words speaking that above from dallas to san francisco even above new york chicago has won several awards for consecutive years cataloging it as the best city in the world to live in but how was chicago gained such recognition was it perhaps its gastronomic diversity it was perhaps the fact that this It is the house of one of the best pizzas on the planet, perhaps it is because of its large and wide green areas, because of the pedestrian accesses, because of its transport, I make them move on foot by bicycle, bus, perhaps it will be because of such infrastructure as because of its majestic architecture 16 without a doubt all Those are factors that help but in reality the fact that Chicago is one of the best cities to live in the world is because of of a cow that calls me well to this chicago that we see behind my back this elegant and prestigious chicago this city a beautiful thing well done is actually the result of an accident here in this city before there was another city that was also called chicago but that An event happened there is no place to get married like here are the bride and groom go both the guests and the lady I do not give a cucumber I want my photo in this place in 1871 there was a fire at that time the buildings were built of wood the vast majority and the fire devastated almost the entire city destroyed around 17 thousand buildings homes farms under less than 100 thousand people were displaced at that time 100,000 people was almost half the population curiously only 300 to 400 dead but losses that today a year 2021 resembles something like 4 billion dollars our city was not at all what we see here today the buildings shaped like cob tuzsa did not exist any s theories of that historic fire are the following number one that in a farm here in the city there was a cow that patio a gas lamp that gas lamp lit a candle a farm was lit and that is how all the surrounding buildings were lit city theory number two that a comet fell and exploded the city that is one of the less credible theories but then there is a theory and there is the third theory is that there was a time of drought and that drought with a low quality wood in the buildings Well, it could have lit a candle that theory seems to me the most convincing but I prefer the first theory of the cow for the simple fact that there is a cow involved in all this and it is much more interesting to think that all this exists thanks to a oral cow or jean baptiste himself the founder of the city the guy passed away on this date he did not even realize that his city was set on fire images of you jean baptiste's face if resurrected And they brought him here they saw the face so different that the city that he founded this has from being completely another story to what the known man is, he resurrects him, moss sees Chicago, he has a heart attack and we bury him again the authorities of that time said here there is nothing to do we start a city and we mud it from the beginning how we are going to build such a city we put such small materials do me a favor and gave the order to the architects of that time to the engineers of the moment destroy me all that remains and we started a city of hills, imagine you the camel camel in Colombian is the work the work that involves completely destroying the inverted land and starting nothing more and nothing less than a city of zeroes a city that already had a sewage system met So all the architects and great urban thinkers at that time sat at a table and said we can ideas what we are going to do how we are going to co Building this city of zeros but we are going to see it at that time they had a lot of time to think about many cities in the world are built by eagerness because for things in life it is a good geographical point for commerce, people from all over the world are beginning to arrive parties to sell and buy materials, food whatever, and a city is created out of nothing, all the bad ones, one goes looking at how it copes with the daily problems of the cities when the fire event happens since all this was destroyed the Chicago people already I knew that there was an opportunity here and they had the time to concentrate and design well what they wanted for the future of this city that was not a city and we kicked here to see where we put all these people where we build there whatever it was not This was one thing but calculate and it is at that time there were not even kayaks and they already knew that there would be people doing that sport at the beginning of the 20th century there was a city that was ba teaching the rest of the planet how things were done a city that taught us with two pairs are three musics in urbanism that was breaking it that were going out all over the world everyone was talking about it and it was also in this same country nothing else and no less than the city of new york the people of chicago said hey what a beautiful opportunity we have all to make a city better than new york we are going to show those on the east coast how a city is made around here their and they started to compete but what happens is that new georgia had a lot of advantage over them and the non-graphic position of new york at that time was much more interesting for its development, it had a much larger population, it had many more immigrants arriving more and more. The milk that I make never reached that same level, including some citizens of New York who came to this city, there was a very particular, well-known one whose name I do not remember but it does not matter for the history said this city is not at all like new york this city is the second city meaning that it will never be the first of second city and so today in the middle of 2021 chicago is still known in the underworld of nicknames as I wanted to get the city that was never the first, they tried it, it was very beautiful, but New York won the trophy, the trophy for many things, but the trophy for others, suddenly even more important, continues to be taken by the city of Chicago. Not being like New York instead of making a problem was a great opportunity to learn from their mistakes because this city has a very similar look with some details that make it unique, it is a large city but with a tranquility and with a peace, yes with a lot less chaos and some other problems that come with living in new york city is like a perfect combination between a big metropolis and a slightly calmer nursery with the same old problems re the traffic and some other things in the big cities but you know the city of chicago said they know let new york take the sweets to us that we care about that we have a more serious problem still the main challenge back then was not It was only to build a city with good foundations but it was to first fix the situation of the wastewater that for decades has passed through the waters of this canal.This canal was a way to connect the Chicago River with Lake Michigan, taking all the waste from the city to Lake Michigan the problem is that outside of Lake Michigan there are some very important water cots, some large ones, some large reserves at that time fed the city with drinking water and today they continue to do so then by sending all the waste and waste towards Lake Michigan because the current of the water flowed and emptied there there was a great fear of a cholera epidemic the cholera that was hitting so hard in Back then and the engineers said we can't build this city without first making sure that now instead of being set on fire, people are dying of cholera, let's fix that situation right now then they said what Moses said millennia ago we have to change the water currents and These guys glued a work of engineering to a work of art with the construction of this canal that its primary function is to change the current of the Chicago River that flows into Lake Michigan so that Lake Michigan is the one that flows into the Chicago River and then into the southernmost prairies of the city a complete tongue twister an hour of engineering such that the practicing engineers who sent to make the Panama canal came here to study it to learn a little how a canal of this style is made completely different from the from Panama but with a lot of science behind it, here in Chicago we share a climate very similar to that of Canada. They are the coldest cities in the United States and Therefore, at that time, the clean water of Lake Michigan will be infected, it was very difficult for cholera to survive because the water was too cold, this here is seen as a normal channel but it has won awards and awards from engineering worldwide which the infrastructure to change the current of the water is a complicated pod to do this here was the first intelligent sewage system in the us we are going to put it into words a little more christian lake michigan there is to our feces went in the current that carried the Chicago River to where there is drinking water thanks to this channel somehow I do not know how they managed that now the lake is the one that flows backwards, taking our feces towards the prairies and on the way as far as reaching The stops that water is treated so that it arrives and flows there much cleaner than it was, it remains a little clearer that I and not even I understand each other with kisses and Then these people had already defined, calculated and solved the problem of wastewater that was no longer a problem and from then on they had the great challenge of doing the rest in the city with the same level of urban planning engineering thinking. A canal of these and having a town full of huts there as they have done before had to do something of the same level at that time in Chicago, then something very nice happened and many great thinkers of urban planning, architects, engineers from all over the world wanted to come to Here to be part of this magnificent event the reconstruction of a city but with impressive quality standards because it was very beautiful and there are also no words about that architects came to experiment with their creativity had to work with steel with a special stainless steel for construction they needed mass steel to rebuild this as quickly as possible and that's how chicago instead of relying on someone else sona began to create its own steel and became one of the geographical points of the planet in the production of the best quality steel for the construction of buildings imagine that pod not only were they building such a city but we also need industry and have its industry people these people know how to make the pods well brother so much was the rise of architecture in this city that a whole movement was created called post fire architecture of girls and it is a unique concept on the planet the history of this great city is the perfect example of the phoenix rising from the ashes literal literal literal from the ashes is a city that reminds me a lot of hiroshima in japan that after the atomic bomb attack the way the americans decided to end a war that was already over the second world war throwing that little bomb over there a city that was completely destroyed and the Japanese did something very similar here v We are going to rebuild it and we are going to improve it and go to Chicago, then it turned into the new North American Athens investors came from all over the world merchants made money and as always when that happens to a city its population doubles and triples with the Over the years a city that had 300 thousand inhabitants at that time today no more in the Chicago area is two points million people making the third largest city in the United States is for that and for many more reasons than chicago takes the accolade of being one of the best cities on the planet to live in that was not random years and years of urban philosophy to improve the quality of life of its inhabitants today with everything it has even from the most cities faces of the us has a cost of living even today a little more reasonable and attractive good job opportunities quite decent wages a cold nor the son and mother very similar to that of canada for many hos that means that maybe not everything is perfect but with all this, in any case, it still has the problems of the big cities, a traffic of the devil, a lot of anger at the wheel and other issues that are very common in these types of places. Part of it I was very pleasantly surprised that such a spectacular city that is such a beautiful city takes 5 out of 5 on the seraph scale, having already said all that information, then thank you very much for having seen this video, say hello to grandma and remember next time and you see a cow a lot of respect not for nothing they are the favorite animal of aliens
