David Harvey: Limits to Growth, Limits to Gentrification
David Harvey explains why capitalism crashes if it can't find places to keep growing and growing. He explains how financiers' competitive search for profitable investment opportunities is changing the nature of urban development - spiking the cost of living within cities to unstable, unsustainable highs. The roots of the 2008 financial crisis are exposed and an alternative "right to the city" is championed.

THIS IS REQUIRED WATCHING!
29:28 "Capitalists love mega-projects, they hate to be bothered with neighborhood activities. So they like the mega-projects, building new stadiums, building new parts of the city. They love projects which have a high rate of return-which means building the kind of city that the rich people want to live in. _So capital actually builds high value housing for a limited market._ In fact a lot of what capital builds is not actually lived in."
girl is Portuguese translator as lecture was in Fortaleza Brazil.
The juxtaposition of Canadian and American "perceptions of wealth" research was great.. excellent condensation
Bravo Jeremy! You’re weaving of these videos to drive home and illuminate the lesson is fantastically done! I’d like to know how to create pastiche videos myself. Do you pull from KZread? Does one require permissions from primary sources?
EXCELLENT
It makes it look like David Harvey keeps interrupting the young lady next to him. XD
I just found this video but noticed that it was posted in Dec 2015 and found it very informative statistically but for the sake of credibility, I'd like to post an updated version of this, can anyone share a link to help me out?
that was a good point;it takes people most of their life to realize that the whole system is a scam.

The American Dream smh
Crazy their answer to people being so poor and struggling is more cuts . Wonder what's wrong with America
Good video and I very much like listening to David Harvey. But I would have preferred the video just be a straight Harvey presentation rather than the montage-y format here. that frequently broke away from Harvey himself.
"That's for the banks to sort out" - Capitalism. smh.
I like how she only ever opens her mouth before the edit cuts her off
Starting from minute 36 the lady to the right of David makes funny attempts on the microphone. She is pretty persistent in her attempts even though in vain. She never said a word despite so many attempts to "bite" the microphone. I wonder what was that for?

I think you'll find that it was heavily edited and very well done as well...

She is a translator. The parts where she is speaking to the audience have been edited out.
many parts of what we all see everyday in our own lives, can be explained by his comments. Have a look at globalpoliticalanalysis.wordpress.com/2016/04/15/how-capitalism-destroyed-the-family-model-and-gave-rise-to-loneliness-rage-militantism-and-prostitution/
