How much does your environment shape your life, and what can city-makers do to make our lives better? Michael Stott has spent over 25 years crafting narratives for cities around the world, considering how they can be made better for the people who inhabit them. As Head of Cities and Places, Masterplanning & Urban Design at DBI, one of Australia's foremost multidisciplinary design practices, he's at the forefront of Brisbane's evolution as a global city in time for the 2032 Olympics. Stott grew up in the picturesque Vancouver seaside communities of White Rock and West Vancouver, and he credits his childhood exploring the vast landscapes of his home country with setting the tone for his life. And his fascination with balancing the scale of small and big when it comes to shaping cities.  He credits his journey from art into linguistics, architecture, design and finally planning with his interest in understanding the pattern language of cities and how they speak to us. Listen in as Vince and Michael discuss; how embracing local culture can help you feel at home, the influence of legendary architect Lord Richard Rogers and the UK's Urban Renaissance and why Istanbul is one of his favourite cities in the world. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TIEMPO DE DESAFIOS CON JORGE RUSELER: VACA MUERTA, LLEGO EL MOMENTO? FMI Y LAS METAS PORQUE NO SE PUEDEN CUMPLIR Y EL PANORAMA POLITICO ACTUAL. TESTIMONIOS DE WILLY KOHAN Y EL RESUMEN DE LONGOBARDI EN CNN. “¿Puede la prohibición de la Unión Europea de esta semana sobre la mayoría de las importaciones de petróleo ruso dar nueva vida a una vaca muerta en la Patagonia?”. Así comienza la nota de hoy del Financial Times (FT) que pone el foco en el potencial de Vaca Muerta, el yacimiento neuquino que es el segundo del mundo en gas shale y la cuarta de petróleo shale. El prestigioso diario económico londinense dice que sí, que es posible, que así lo cree al menos Alberto Fernández, quien cree que el yacimiento “puede para llenar el vacío dejado por el creciente embargo occidental sobre la energía rusa. Argentina, dijo a sus anfitriones alemanes durante su visita a Berlín el mes pasado, es ‘una reserva de lo que el mundo necesita en este momento: alimentos y energía'. Chevron, Petronas y Shell estarán entre las empresas internacionales que se beneficiarán si finalmente despega el desarrollo petrolero de Vaca Muerta en Argentina. La producción de gas ‘podría aumentar, hacer de Argentina un rival de Australia y Qatar en el mercado de GNL en un momento en que la demanda está creciendo”, dice el artículo citando un informe reciente de S&P. El texto lo firma Michael Stott, editor para América Latina del FT con sede en Londres, quien advierte que a pesar del contexto tan favorable, “no todo el mundo está esperando pacientemente”. En ese escenario remarcó las recientes salidas del país –aunque antes de la invasión rusa y la suba de los commodities– de la china Sinopec, quien le vendió el año pasado su operación en salta a la local Compañía General de Combustibles (CGC), de Corporación América; y de ConocoPhillips, cuyo negocio en las concesiones de Aguada Federal y Bandurria Norte pasaron a manos de Vista. “A medida que la estampida que se aleja de Rusia conduce a un rediseño del mapa energético mundial, el gobierno de Argentina debe moverse más rápido y con más audacia”, señaló el FT. El medio inglés detalló los problemas que arrastra el sector desde hace años, en medio de entusiasmo sobre Vaca Muerta y su atractiva geología no fueron igualados por “políticas oficiales lo suficientemente atractivas –ya sea bajo el gobierno anterior de Mauricio Macri o el actual peronista– para atraer las decenas de miles de millones de dólares de inversión que se necesitan”.
