A South Korean city
designed for the future takes on a life of its own
A) Getting around a city is one thing
—
and then
there
’
s the matter of
getting
from one city to another. One
vision of the perfect city of the future: a place
that
offers easy access to air travel.
In 2011, a University of North Carolina
business professor named John Kasarda
published a book called Aerotropolis:
The Way We
’
ll Live Next.
Kasarda says
future cities should be
built intentionally around or near airports. The
idea, as he
has put it, is to offer
businesses
“
rapid, long-
distance connectivity on a massive
scale.
”
B)
“
The 18th
century really was a waterborne
(
水运的
) century, the 19th
century a
rail century. the 20th
century a highway, car, truck
century
一
and the 21st century
will increasingly be an aviation
century, as the globe becomes increasingly
connected by
air,
”
Kasarda
says. Songdo, a city built from scratch in South
Korea,
is one of
Kasarda
’
s prime examples. It
has existed for just a few
years.
“
From
the get-go, it was designed on the
basis of connectivity and
competitiveness,
”
says
Kasada.
“
The government
built the bridge directly from the airport to the
Songdo International Business District.
And the surface infrastructure was built in
tandem with the new
airport.
”
C)
Songdo is a stone
’
s throw
from South Korea
’
s Incheon
Airport, its main
international hub
(
枢纽
). But it takes a lot
more than a nearby airport to be a city
of the future. Just building a place as
an
“
international business
district
”
doesn
’
t mean it
will become one. Park Yeon Soo conceived
(
构想
) this city of the
future back in 1986. He considers
Songdo his baby.
“
I am a
visionary,
”
he
says.
Thirty years after he imagined
the city, Park
’
s baby is
close to 70 percent built,
with 36.000
people living in the business district and 90,000
residents in greater
Songdo.
It
’
s about an hour outside
Seoul, built on reclaimed tidal flats along the
Yellow Sea,
There
’
s a Coast Guard
building and a tall trade tower, as well as a
park, golf course and university.
