15 years after Ha Long Bay was recognized as one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature,
39
the organization behind that global campaign is turning its attention to a new challenge, identifying the future cities that could shape the way we live in the decades ahead.
40
And to learn more about that vision, we're delighted to welcome Mr. Jean -Paul De La Fuente, director of the New Seven Wonders.
41
So, Jean -Paul, it's a pleasure to have you with us in the studio today.
42
Vietnam today.
43
Just to start, we know that New 7 Wonders have been celebrating natural
44
and cultural wonders for more than nearly two decades now.
45
So why did New 7 Wonders decide to launch the Future Cities Initiative now?
46
Well, I think what's interesting about our previous campaigns is that we were honoring and recognizing the achievements of mankind, I guess, with the cultural wonders,
47
and also achievements of nature itself.
48
So now we wanted to look at what could be the future aspirations of humanity.
49
And I think where we live and how we live I think are fundamental parts of that.
50
And really that was the focus for this idea of the Seven Wonders of Future Cities.
51
Yeah, that's wonderful.
52
Yeah, and also speaking of the future cities, what qualities do you think matters the most?
53
We look at three criteria Dylan.
54
One is the ability for the city to be human centric, which is not just words.
55
It means that it takes into consideration what's important for human beings living there.
56
The other of course is the concept of sustainability and environment, but not just as words also about growing cities, how they grow, they grow with nature.
57
And of course, because we are in the times we are, they have to be smart cities.
58
So they have to have elements of smart technology.
59
that can impact all of those other qualities.
60
And those are the criteria
61
that we consider for a city to qualify to be a participant in the seven wonders of future cities.
62
Right.
63
When we think about initiative, historically, Vietnam has always been a country that is very proactive with their initiatives regarding protection of the environment, cultural heritage.
64
Vietnam now being one of the first countries to participate in the Future Cities initiatives, what does it mean for the country to be part of all this?
65
Well, I think your viewers will know this because they are, you know, fans and supporters and interested in in in vietnam
66
but the world needs to know
67
that vietnam is going through a step change a positive step
68
change transformative step change in terms of how it perceives itself as a nation at home
69
and in the world and i think both the public sector of course the government the leadership
70
and the private sector working together is showing how this works
71
and i think one of the best examples of this are the policies that are being put in place for
72
reducing the carbon impact of mobility in the major cities we know
73
that here in hanoi it's a it's a classic example of
74
that and really setting a model for other cities certainly across ASEAN, Asia and hopefully the rest of the world to follow.
75
So we see that as all part of the same story.
76
That's why we see we're not surprised to see
77
that Seven Wands of Future Cities was something that Vietnam wanted to participate on from the beginning.
78
Well thank you so much for all the insights John Paul
79
and thank you so much for joining us here today talking about the initiatives
80
and I hope you know to our audiences this has been an enlightening conversation.
81
So now Hat Long Bui had created in Vietnam.
82
And the Future Cities Initiative asks a different question.
83
What can Vietnam help for the future?
84
From protecting a natural wonder to shaping sustainable urban models, the journey marks a symbolic shift from the wonders we inherit to the ones we choose to build.

什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
