Urban Planning 1.2: The New Megalopolis Flashcards

1
Q

Tại sao đô thị lại tạo ra sự thịnh vượng?

A

The map makes it clear that the global economy takes shape around perhaps 20 great Megas—half in the United States and the rest scattered throughout the world. These regions are home to just 10 percent of total world population, 660 million people, but produce half of all economic activity, two thirds of world-class scientific activity, and three quarters of global innovations. The great urbanologist Jane Jacobs was the first to describe why megalopolises grow. When people migrate to one place, they all become more productive. And the place itself becomes much more productive, because collective creativity grows exponentially. Ideas flow more freely, are honed more sharply, and can be put into practice more quickly.

Đỉnh điểm.

A

There is, however, a tipping point. The forces of price and congestion begin pushing people away from the center. But make no mistake, this has nothing to do with the “decentralization of work,” as many have argued. The huge economic advantages of clustering still guide the process, which is why second cities emerge near big cities or in the corridors between them, not in the middle of nowhere.

Q

Hành lang trải từ Boston tới Washington là nơi sống của bao nhiêu người (1961 và ngày nay)?

A

The first region to achieve Mega status and still the biggest Mega in economic terms is the Boston-to-Washington corridor. In 1961 it was home to about 32 million people; today its population has risen to 55 million, more than 17 percent of all Americans. The region generates $242.5 trillion in economic activity, making it the world’s fourth largest economy, bigger than France or the United Kingdom. Next in line is Chi-Pitts, the great Midwestern Mega running from Chicago to Detroit, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh, with $242.3 trillion in economic activity. Three of the power centers of the U.S. economy even stretch beyond American borders: So-Cal runs from Los Angeles to San Diego across the Mexican border to Tijuana; Tor-Buff-Chester sprawls from Toronto to Rochester, and Cascadia from Portland, Oregon, to Vancouver.

Q

Bị giới hạn bởi hòn đảo.

A

Aside from the island-bound financial center of Greater London, Europe’s major economic engines do not rely on old borders to define themselves. The Euro-Lowlands cuts across four nations: the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and France. The Euro­Sunbelt stretches from Barcelona to Marseille, attracting people and firms with competitive costs and the Mediterranean lifestyle. Japan is less a country than a network of linked Mega-regions, anchored by Greater Tokyo: indeed, a close look at the light-emissions map shows that its three major Megas may well be blurring into one super-Mega of more than 100 million people.

While Mega-regions power advanced economies, they literally define the emerging nations. If you removed its Megas, China would be virtually meaningless as an economic category. What matters are Shang-King (Shanghai to Nanjing), with more than 50 million people; Hong-Zen (Hong Kong to Shenzhen), 40 million; Greater Beijing, 36 million. These three Megas account for most of Chinese economic output, attract most of its talent, and generate the great majority of its innovations.
