超级城市·景观智慧

Supercities·Landscape Intelligence

当今社会,城市面临的巨大挑战正不断促使人类寻求新的社会凝聚力形式,以更好地保护生态系统和有效应对气候变化的挑战。随着全球经济持续增长,人类有能力创造大量财富,但关键问题是我们能否确保这些进步普惠到全人类,而不仅仅是一小部分人。全球化带来了重要的进步,但它却在那些已经融入新经济秩序和还未有机会融入到新经济秩序的国家、城市、企业和人民之间造成了巨大的裂痕与鸿沟。我们研究的城市普遍面临经济资源有限,政府任期短且政治权力小等问题,因此需要面对的挑战更加严峻。超级城市能够与周围的城市系统和生态系统进行智能对话,从而,在不断交互中发现它们的关键机遇和未来价值,进而构建领土钻石。了解钻石领土中,不同城市之间的互动关系与其在区域场景中的影响程度,可以帮助城市政府、市长或区域政府团队在其所在城市或区域内提高企业的竞争能力。城市是否具有项目将成为城市间的根本差异。未来最成功的城市将是那些在经济竞争力、社会凝聚力和环境可持续性之间实现智能平衡的城市。

Today,cities face ever greater challenges and the need to seek new forms of social cohesion,protection of our ecosystems and effective responses to the challenges of the climate change.The global economy continues to grow and is capable of generating a great deal of wealth,but the key issue is whether we are able to ensure that these advancements benefit everyone,and not just a small minority.Globalization has brought important advances,but it has also opened a great fracture between those countries,cities,enterprises and people integrated to this new economic order,and those that are not.Our cities,with invariably limited economic resources,short terms of office and little political power,have to face additional challenges.SuperCities are capable of articulating an intelligent dialogue with the systems of cities and ecosystems at their surroundings as a frame of reference in which to discover their key opportunities and their future vocation,constructing what can be referred as Territorial Diamonds.Understanding the relationship between urban interactions and it’s reach in the regional scene may allow city governments,mayors or regional government teams to improve the competitive capacity of enterprises within their municipality or region.There are cities with a project and cities without a project.This is the basic distinction between cities.Cities that are most successful in the future will be those that achieve an intelligent balance between the different components of the Urban Trilogy: economic competitiveness,social cohesion and environmental sustainability.
