从智慧城市到自觉城市

From Smart City to Conscious City

城市化的发展基于诸多主题,比如不同系统整合、构建空间结构,人类与这些系统的互动创造出不断演化的智能形式。自文艺复兴时期起,科学开始成为这一发展进程的主角,而工业革命将大规模机械化引入到设计过程之中。数字革命已经把这一发展再次提升到一个新的尺度,信息在全球范围流通,与其对应的是"人类世"时代的出现。城市规划和城市设计日趋受到二者的影响,正迈入一个新的阶段:自动化系统产生智能,日常生活、福利、经济进步甚至文化等方面的决策都将与这些系统分享。这也提出了一系列问题:如何安排优先次序,谁来监控发展进程,谁来控制新的智能系统以及我们在未来如何建设城市。

The history of urbanism is based on themes such as the integration of different systems forming spatial structures, and human interaction with these systems creating ever evolving forms of intelligence. During the Renaissance science started to play a major role in this development, and the Industrial Revolution introduced large scale mechanization into the design process. The Digital Revolution has lifted this up once more onto another scale, with information flows equaling in global scale the emergence of an Anthropocene Era. City planning and urban design is increasingly affected by both and is entering a new phase in which intelligence will be generated by systems that are in fact robotic systems and decisions on daily life, welfare, economic progress, and even culture will be shared with these systems, raising questions about what priorities are set, who monitors the progress of these, and who controls the new intelligent systems and how do we build cities in the future.
