Washington华盛顿, D.C.; and Newark纽瓦克, New Jersey新泽西.
17
41530
3026
还有华盛顿以及新泽西洲的纽瓦克。
00:56
All of these cities城市, to me, still had a number
18
44556
2380
于我而言,这些城市仍然有一系列
00:58
of unresolved未解决 issues问题 related有关 to urban城市的 justice正义,
19
46936
2836
有待解决的问题,关乎都市正义、
01:01

01:06
Now by 2010, as well,
21
54124
2063
同样也是在2010年,
01:08
popular流行 design设计 magazines杂志 were also beginning开始
22
56187
2015
流行设计杂志开始
01:10
to take a closer接近 look at cities城市 like Detroit底特律,
23
58202
2713
仔细地研究像底特律这样的城市,
01:12
and devoting费尽 whole整个 issues问题 to "fixing定影 the city."
24
60915
3637
并用长达整期的篇幅来讨论“改造这座城”。
01:16
I was asked by a good friend朋友, Fred弗雷德 Bernstein伯恩斯坦,
25
64552
2376
我的好友弗雷德 伯恩斯坦邀请我
01:18
to do an interview访问 for the October十月 issue问题
26
66928
1975
参加《建筑师》10月刊的
01:20
of Architect建筑师 magazine杂志,
27
68903
1651
访谈,
01:22
and he and I kind of had a good chuckle暗笑
28
70554
1655
当我们看到出版杂志的标题:
01:24
when we saw the magazine杂志 released发布 with the title标题,
29
72209
3216
“这位规划师能拯救底特律吗?"
01:27
"Can This Planner规划人员 Save保存 Detroit底特律?"
30
75425
2886
我和他都咯咯地笑了。
01:30
So I'm smiling微笑 with a little bit
of embarrassment困窘 right now,
31
78311
2875
我的笑容中略带尴尬,
01:33
because obviously明显, it's completely全然 absurd荒诞
32
81186
2407
那是因为,很显然,
01:35
that a single person, let alone单独 a planner规划人员,
33
83593
1972
仅凭一个人的力量,尤其是一个规划师的力量
01:37
could save保存 a city.
34
85565
1458
就想拯救一座城市,这是荒唐可笑的。
01:39
But I'm also smiling微笑 because I thought it represented代表
35
87023
2501
但同时, 我笑是因为我觉得这个标题蕴含了
01:41
a sense of hopefulness乐观 that our profession职业
36
89524
2634
一丝希望,那就是我们的职业
01:44
could play a role角色 in helping帮助 the city to think about
37
92158
2918
对帮助一个城市走出严重危机
01:47
how it would recover恢复 from its severe严重 crisis危机.
38
95076
4064
有着重要的意义。
01:51
So I'd like to spend a little bit of time this afternoon下午
39
99140
2272
因此,今天下午我想花一点时间
01:53
and tell you a little bit about our process处理
40
101412
1681
来告诉大家我们的改造计划,
01:55
for fixing定影 the city, a little bit about Detroit底特律,
41
103093
2676
也就是改进底特律的方法。
01:57
and I want to do that through通过
the voices声音 of DetroitersDetroiters.
42
105769
3114
我想通过展现底特律居民的意见来做到这一点。
02:00
So we began开始 our process处理 in September九月 of 2010.
43
108883
3068
我们的改造计划启动于2010年9月,
02:03
It's just after a special特别 mayoral市长 election选举,
44
111951
2929
那时特别市长选举刚刚结束,
02:06
and word has gotten得到 out that there is going to be
45
114880
2041
而且有消息传出,这座城市
02:08
this citywide全市 planning规划 process处理,
46
116921
1544
即将接受改造。
02:10
which哪一个 brings带来 a lot of anxiety焦虑 and fears恐惧
47
118465
2349
这让底特律居民
02:12
among其中 DetroitersDetroiters.
48
120814
1783
感到焦虑和恐慌。
02:14
We had planned计划 to hold保持 a number
of community社区 meetings会议 in rooms客房 like this
49
122602
4240
我们已经计划好要在这样的房间里召开一系列社区会议
02:18
to introduce介绍 the planning规划 process处理,
50
126842
2384
向居民介绍改造计划。
02:21
and people came来了 out from all over the city,
51
129226
1996
全城各地都有居民前来,
02:23
including包含 areas that were stable稳定 neighborhoods社区,
52
131222
2851
不管是住在情况稳定的社区的
02:26
as well as areas that were beginning开始 to see
53
134073
1776
还是住在已经看到
02:27
a lot of vacancy空缺.
54
135849
1994
空置现象的社区。
02:29
And most of our audience听众 was representative代表
55
137843
2098
当时,
02:31
of the 82 percent百分 African-American非裔美国人 population人口
56
139941
2553
大部分的听众是
02:34
in the city at that time.
57
142494
2265
那占城市人口82%的非裔居民的代表。
02:36
So obviously明显, we have a Q&A portion一部分 of our program程序,
58
144759
3488
显然,我们的会议有一个提问环节,
02:40
and people line线 up to mics话筒 to ask questions问题.
59
148247
2897
人们在麦克风前排起长队,准备提问。
02:43
Many许多 of them step very firmly牢牢 to the micMIC,
60
151144
2759
许多人坚定地走到麦克风前,
02:45
put their hands across横过 their chest胸部, and go,
61
153903
2848
双臂交叉在胸前,然后说:
02:48
"I know you people are trying to
move移动 me out of my house, right?"
62
156751
3479
“我知道,你们想把我赶出自己的房子,对不对?”
02:52
So that question is really powerful强大,
63
160230
2319
这个问题真的很尖锐,
02:54
and it was certainly当然 powerful强大 to us in the moment时刻,
64
162549
3213
当时我们就这么觉得,
02:57
when you connect it to the stories故事
65
165762
2109
尤其是在你把这个问题与
02:59
that some DetroitersDetroiters had,
66
167871
1387
一些底特律居民,
03:01
and actually其实 a lot of African-Americans'非洲裔美国人'

2206
以及很多有类似经历的

居住于像底特律那样的中西部城市的非裔家庭
03:04
that are living活的 in Midwestern中西部 cities城市 like Detroit底特律.
69
172921
3731
联系起来。
03:08
Many许多 of them told us the stories故事 about
70
176652
2335
他们中的很多人向我们诉说
03:10
how they came来了 to own拥有 their home
71

从南方乡村迁徙到北方工业区的移民之一,

这些移民的形象被雅各布 劳伦斯

214303
2380
他们在北方的前数十年
03:48
is quite相当 well, up until直到 about 1950,
86
216683
3044
都生活的很好,知道1950年左右,
03:51
which哪一个 coincides一致 with the city's城市的 peak population人口
87
219727
2608
那时底特律的居住人口达到了峰值
03:54
at 1.8 million百万 people.
88
222335
2307
180万人。
03:56
Now it's at this time that Detroit底特律 begins开始 to see
89
224642
2378
也正是在这个时候底特律开始经历
03:59
a second第二 kind of migration移民,
90
227020
2218
第二波迁移大潮,
04:01
a migration移民 to the suburbs郊区.
91
229238
2333
人们搬迁到城市的郊区。
04:03
Between之间 1950 and 2000,
92
231571
2837
在1950年到2000年之间,
04:06
the region地区 grows成长 by 30 percent百分.
93
234408
2935
底特律的城市面积拓展了30%。
04:09
But this time, the migration移民 leaves树叶
94
237343
1899
但这一次,迁移大潮
04:11
African-Americans非洲裔美国人 in place地点,
95
239242
2105
把非裔居民抛在身后。
04:13
as families家庭 and businesses企业 flee逃跑 the city,
96
241347
2946
随着家庭和企业离开底特律,
04:16
leaving离开 the city pretty漂亮 desolate荒凉 of people
97
244293
2362
城中变得人口稀少,
04:18
as well as jobs工作.
98
246655
1754
就业机会紧缺。
04:20
During that same相同 period, between之间
1950 and 2000, 2010,
99
248409
4800
也就是在1950年到2000-2010年,
04:25
the city loses失去 60 percent百分 of its population人口,
100
253209
2865
(底特律的)城市人口下降了60%,
04:28
and today今天 it hovers悬停 at above以上 700,000.
101
256074
3924
现在其人口大概是70万人。
04:31
The audience听众 members会员 who come
and talk to us that night
102
259998
2486
当晚,出席会议并与我们交谈的听众
04:34
tell us the stories故事 of what it's like to live生活 in a city
103
262484
2785
跟我们讲述了生活在一个人口
04:37
with such这样 depleted耗尽 population人口.
104
265269
2717
如此稀少的城市的感受。
04:39
Many许多 tell us that they're one of only a few少数 homes家园
105
267986
2350
很多人说,他们的房子是街区中为数不多的
04:42
on their block that are occupied占据,
106
270336
2543
有人居住的房子,
04:44
and that they can see several一些 abandoned homes家园
107
272879
2607
坐在自家的门廊里
04:47
from where they sit on their porches门廊.
108
275486
2247
就可以看见数座被遗弃的房子。
04:49
Citywide全市, there are 80,000 vacant空的 homes家园.
109
277733
4339
在 整座城市中,有8万座空置的房子,
04:54
They can also see vacant空的 property属性.
110
282072
3015
也有空置的不动产。
04:57
They're beginning开始 to see illegal非法 activities活动
111
285087
1857
居民开始看到有人在这些建筑里
04:58
on these properties性能, like illegal非法 dumping倾销,
112
286944
2224
从事非法活动,如非法倾卸。
05:01
and they know that because the city
has lost丢失 so much population人口,
113
289168
4305
居民们还意识到,由于城市人口锐减,
05:05
their costs成本 for water, electricity电力, gas加油站 are rising升起,
114
293473
5167
水费、电费、油气费都在上涨,
05:10
because there are not enough足够 people
to pay工资 property属性 taxes
115
298640
2832
因为支付财产税的人变少了,
05:13
to help support支持 the services服务 that they need.
116
301482
3334
税金不足以维持这些服务的运营。
05:16
Citywide全市, there are about 100,000 vacant空的 parcels包裹.
117
304816
4253
在底特律,还有大概1000块闲置土地。
05:21
Now, to quickly很快 give you all a sense of a scale规模,
118
309073
1994
大家或许对这种规模没有概念,
05:23
because I know that sounds声音 like a big number,
119
311067
1350
因为我知道,这听起来是一个巨大的数字,
05:24
but I don't think you quite相当 understand理解
until直到 you look at the city map地图.
120
312417
2538
但大家只有看了城市地图才能真正明白它的含义。
05:26
So the city is 139 square广场 miles英里.
121
314955
2706
底特律的城市面积为139平方英里。
05:29
You can fit适合 Boston波士顿, San Francisco弗朗西斯科,
122
317661
2046
你可以把 波士顿、三藩市
05:31
and the island of Manhattan曼哈顿
123
319707
1560
以及曼哈顿岛
05:33
within its footprint脚印.
124
321267
1676
拼入底特律的地域之中。
05:34
So if we take all of that vacant空的
and abandoned property属性
125
322943
2390
如果我们抽出所有空置的和被遗弃的房产
05:37
and we smush斯马什 it together一起,
126
325333
2196
并把他们拼在一起,
05:39
it looks容貌 like about 20 square广场 miles英里,
127
327529
1836
它们的面积大约有20平方英里,
05:41
and that's roughly大致 equivalent当量 to the size尺寸
128
329365
1968
几乎等同于我们现在所在的
05:43
of the island we're sitting坐在 on today今天, Manhattan曼哈顿,
129
331333
1707
曼哈顿岛的面积,
05:45
at 22 square广场 miles英里.
130
333040
1450
曼哈顿岛的面积是22平方英里。
05:46
So it's a lot of vacancy空缺.
131
334490
3600
空置率实在是太高了。
05:50
Now some of our audience听众 members会员
132
338090
2176
某些听众
05:52
also tell us about some of the positive things
133
340266
2118
也会给我们讲一些他们
05:54
that are happening事件 in their communities社区,
134
342384
2045
社区中的好消息:
05:56
and many许多 of them are banding带状 together一起
135
344429
1587
社区中的居民团结起来
05:58
to take control控制 of some of the vacant空的 lots,
136
346016
2106
管理空置的土地。
06:00
and they're starting开始 community社区 gardens花园,
137
348122
1869
他们开辟了社区花园,
06:01
which哪一个 are creating创建 a great sense
of community社区 stewardship管家,
138
349991
2675
这为他们创造了一种强大的社区服务精神。
06:04
but they're very, very clear明确 to tell us
139
352666
1995
但他们仍然很明确地告诉我们,
06:06
that this is not enough足够,
140
354661
1791
这仍不令人满意,
06:08
that they want to see their neighborhoods社区
141
356452
1506
他们希望自己的社区
06:09
return返回 to the way that their
grandparents祖父母 had found发现 them.
142
357958
3353
能够像先辈建城时那样繁荣。
06:13
Now there's been a lot of speculation推测 since以来 2010
143
361311
2443
自2010年起,人们就有很多关于
06:15
about what to do with the vacant空的 property属性,
144
363754
2676
如何处理空置房产的猜测。
06:18
and a lot of that speculation推测 has
been around community社区 gardening园艺,
145
366430
2720
很多人认为它们会被建设为社区花园,
06:21
or what we call urban城市的 agriculture农业.
146
369150
2232
或者是所谓的城市农业。
06:23
So many许多 people would say to us,
147
371382
1578
很多人对我们说:
06:24
"What if you just take all that vacant空的 land土地
and you could make it farmland农田?
148
372960
2708
“把空地变为农业用地,这个主意如何?
06:27
It can provide提供 fresh新鲜 foods食品,
149
375668
2103
它既可以提供新鲜食物,
06:29
and it can put DetroitersDetroiters back to work too."
150
377771
2705
也可以给居民提供工作机会。”
06:32
When I hear that story故事,
151
380476
1445
当我听到这种说法时,
06:33
I always imagine想像 the folks乡亲 from the Great Migration移民
152
381921
2616
我总想象着大迁徙中的先民
06:36
rolling压延 over in their graves坟墓,
153
384537
2254
会在坟墓中辗转反侧,
06:38
because you can imagine想像 that they didn't sacrifice牺牲
154
386791
3317
可以想象到,他们背井离乡,
06:42
moving移动 from the South to the North
155
390108
2077
从南方迁徙到北方,
06:44
to create创建 a better life for their families家庭,
156
392185
2112
是为了给家庭带来更好地生活,
06:46
only to see their great-grandchildren曾孙
return返回 to an agrarian农业 lifestyle生活方式,
157
394297
4246
而不是要他们的曾孙辈又回到田园牧歌的生活之中;
06:50
especially特别 in a city where they came来了
158
398543
2208
特别是,他们来到这座城市的时候,
06:52
with little less than a high school学校 education教育
159
400751
2054
很多人并没有受过高中教育,
06:54
or even a grammar语法 school学校 education教育
160
402805
1967
有的甚至没有上过初中,
06:56
and were able能够 to afford给予 the basic基本 elements分子
161
404772
2025
但他们仍然能拥有
06:58
of the American美国 dream梦想:
162
406797
1289
美国梦的基本元素:
07:00
steady稳定 work and a home that they owned拥有的.
163
408086
4035
稳定的工作,以及自有的房产。
07:04
Now, there's a third第三 wave of migration移民
164
412121
2231
如今,底特律又出现了
07:06

第三波迁移大潮:

3144
文化企业不断进驻。
07:11
These folks乡亲 see that same相同 vacant空的 land土地
167
419056
2416
企业家们把同样的空置地块
07:13
and those same相同 abandoned homes家园
168
421472
1495
和被遗弃的房屋
07:14
as opportunity机会 for new,
169
422967
1395
看做获取新的
07:16
entrepreneurial创业 ideas思路 and profit利润,
170
424362
2671
创意和利润的机遇;
07:19
so much so that former前任的 models楷模
171
427033
1987
他们可以像旧有的模式那样,
07:21

1421
迁入底特律,
07:22

176
437419
3022
带来积极的变化。
07:32
Similarly同样, we have small manufacturing制造业 companies公司
177
440441
2904
同样的,一些小型的制造企业
07:35
making制造 conscious意识 decisions决定 to relocate搬迁 to the city.
178
443345
3269
也正在认真考虑进驻底特律。
07:38
This company公司, ShinolaShinola, which哪一个 is a luxury豪华 watch
179
446614
2785
Shinola是一家高档手表
07:41
and bicycle自行车 company公司,
180
449399
1712
与自行车制造商,
07:43
deliberately故意 chose选择 to relocate搬迁 to Detroit底特律,
181
451111
1893
它特意选址底特律,
07:45
and they quote引用 themselves他们自己 by saying
182
453004
2637
理由是
07:47
they were drawn to the global全球 brand
of Detroit's底特律 innovation革新.
183
455641
4258
他们被底特律闻名全球的创新能力所吸引。
07:51
And they also knew知道 that
they can tap龙头 into a workforce劳动力
184
459899
2572
他们也知道,他们可以充分利用
07:54
that was still very skilled技能的 in how to make things.
185
462471
3526
一批仍然精于工业制造的劳动者。
07:57
Now we have community社区 stewardship管家
186
465997
2569
现在,我们看到社区服务精神
08:00
happening事件 in neighborhoods社区,
187
468566
1560
在社区中萌芽发展,
08:02
we have cultural文化 entrepreneurs企业家 making制造 decisions决定
188
470126
2799
文化企业决定
08:04
to move移动 to the city and create创建 enterprises企业,
189
472925
3048
迁入底特律,创建新公司,
08:07
and we have businesses企业 relocating搬迁,
190
475973
1735
并且,制造业也准备迁入,
08:09
and this is all in the context上下文
191
477708
1386
但这一切都发生在一个
08:11
of what is no secret秘密 to us all,
192
479094
2272
我们都熟知的大环境之中:
08:13
a city that's under the control控制
193
481366
1801
一位紧急状况下的负责人
08:15
of an emergency manager经理,
194
483167
1622
正在管理底特律,
08:16
and just this July七月 filed提交 for Chapter章节 9 bankruptcy破产.
195
484789
4274
而就在这个7月,他根据联邦破产法第9章提出了破产申请。
08:21
So 2010, we started开始 this process处理, and by 2013,
196
489063
3242
我们在2010年就启动了这个项目;到2013年,
08:24
we released发布 Detroit底特律 Future未来 City,
197
492305
2084
我们推出了“未来底特律”项目,
08:26
which哪一个 was our strategic战略 plan计划 to guide指南 the city
198
494389
2838
这是我们的一个战略计划,以引导这座城市
08:29
into a better and more prosperous繁荣
199
497227
1819
走上更好、更繁荣、
08:31
and more sustainable可持续发展 existence存在 --
200
499046
2277
更可持续的发展道路——
08:33
not what it was, but what it could be,
201
501323
3665
这不是它过去的模式,而是它可以利用的模式;
08:36
looking at new ways方法 of economic经济 growth发展,
202
504988
3315
我们审视了新的经济增长方式,
08:40
new forms形式 of land土地 use,
203
508303
1981
新的土地利用模式,
08:42
more sustainable可持续发展 and denser更密集 neighborhoods社区,
204
510284
3108
更加稳定而稠密的社区,
08:45
a reconfigured重新配置 infrastructure基础设施
and city service服务 system系统,
205
513392
3416
重新配置的基础设施和城市服务系统,
08:48
and a heightened提高 capacity容量 for civic公民 leaders领导者
206
516808
2868
以及更大的空间让民间领袖
08:51
to take action行动 and implement实行 change更改.
207
519676
3262
采取行动,实施变革。
08:54
Three key imperatives当务之急 were really important重要
208
522938
2598
对于我们的工作而言,有三个情况
08:57
to our work.
209
525536
1281
是迫在眉睫的。
08:58
One was that the city itself本身
wasn't necessarily一定 too large,
210
526817
3878
第一,这座城市其实不算很大,
09:02
but the economy经济 was too small.
211
530695
1688
但它的经济规模却是太小了。
09:04
There are only 27 jobs工作 per 100 people in Detroit底特律,
212
532383
3260
在底特律,每一百人只有27个就业机会,
09:07
very different不同 from a Denver丹佛
or an Atlanta亚特兰大 or a Philadelphia费城
213
535643
3398
这与丹佛、亚特兰大、费城的情况大不相同,
09:11
that are anywhere随地 between之间
35 to 70 jobs工作 per 100 people.
214
539041
4920
它们每一百人就有35到70个就业机会。
09:15
Secondly其次, there had to be an acceptance验收
215
543961
2422
第二,人们要接受一个事实,
09:18
that we were not going to be able能够 to use
216
546383
1956
我们不会用以往的方式
09:20
all of this vacant空的 land土地 in the way that we had before
217
548339
2864
来利用所有的闲置地块,
09:23
and maybe for some time to come.
218
551203
2009
即使在将来也不会。
09:25
It wasn't going to be our traditional传统
residential住宅 neighborhoods社区
219
553212
2565
我们习以为常的传统居住区
09:27
as we had before,
220
555777
1617
不会出现,
09:29
and urban城市的 agriculture农业, while a very productive生产的
221
557394
2758
而且,尽管城市农业产出丰厚
09:32
and successful成功 intervention介入 happening事件 in Detroit底特律,
222
560152
2692
且成功干预了底特律的危机,
09:34
was not the only answer回答,
223
562844
2103
它也不会是唯一的出路。
09:36
that what we had to do is look at these areas
224
564947
2436
我们要做的是,关注那些
09:39
where we had significant重大 vacancy空缺
225
567383
1808
空置率很高
09:41
but still had a significant重大 number of population人口
226
569191
3235
但仍有大量人口的区域,
09:44
of what could be new, productive生产的, innovative创新,
227
572426
2898
那些居民年轻,有干劲,有创意,
09:47
and entrepreneurial创业 uses使用
228
575324
1534
可以为企业所利用;
09:48
that could stabilize稳定 those communities社区,
229
576858
1955
这样,他们使仍有
09:50
where still nearly几乎 300,000 residents居民 lived生活.
230
578813
3368
将近30万人的社区更稳定。
09:54
So we came来了 up with one neighborhood邻里 typology类型学 --
231
582181
2816
因此,我们提出了一种新的社区构想——
09:56
there are several一些 --
called a live-make真人化妆 neighborhood邻里,
232
584997
2973
其实我们设计了几种模式——被称为生活工作相结合的社区。
09:59
where folks乡亲 could reappropriate重新解释
233
587970
1959
在那里,居民可以重新利用
10:01
abandoned structures结构
234
589929
1738
废弃建筑,
10:03
and turn them into entrepreneurial创业 enterprises企业,
235
591667
2290
并把它们改造为企业基地,
10:05
with a specific具体 emphasis重点 on looking at the, again,
236
593957
3083
同时也可以再次着重强调
10:09
majority多数 82 percent百分 African-American非裔美国人 population人口.
237
597040
3185
占82%的非洲裔居民。
10:12
So they, too, could take businesses企业
238
600225
2101
因此,他们也可以把
10:14
that they maybe were doing out of their home
239
602326
2399
他们以前在居住区外建立的企业带入居住区,
10:16
and grow增长 them to more prosperous繁荣 industries行业
240
604725
2711
并把它们发展为更加繁荣的产业。
10:19
and actually其实 acquire获得 property属性 so they were actually其实
241
607436
2710
同时他们也可以购置房产,使得他们同时成为
10:22
property属性 owners拥有者 as well as business商业 owners拥有者
242
610146
2449
自己所住社区中的
10:24
in the communities社区 with which哪一个 they resided居住.
243
612595
2526
房产所有者以及企业所有者。
10:27
Then we also wanted to look at other ways方法
244
615121
2078
我们也在考虑
10:29
of using运用 land土地 in addition加成 to growing生长 food餐饮
245
617199
3334
除了种植作物以外的土地利用方式,
10:32
and transforming转型 landscape景观 into
246
620533
1824
希望把土地规划得
10:34
much more productive生产的 uses使用,
247
622357
1860
更具生产效率。
10:36
so that it could be used for storm风暴
water management管理, for example,
248
624217
3290
比方说,一些地块可通过建造人工湖和蓄水池
10:39
by using运用 surface表面 lakes湖泊 and retention保留 ponds池塘,
249
627507
3016
来建立雨水管理系统;
10:42
that created创建 neighborhood邻里 amenities设施,
250
630523
1760
可以设立社区便利设施、
10:44
places地方 of recreation娱乐,
251
632283
1692
娱乐设施,
10:45
and actually其实 helped帮助 to elevate提升
252
633975
1817
切实地提高
10:47
adjacent property属性 levels水平.
253
635792
1687
附近居民的生活水平。
10:49
Or we could use it as research研究 plots地块,
254
637479
1860
或者,我们可以设立研究中心
10:51
where we can use it to remediate修复 contaminated污染 soils土壤,
255
639339
3308
来治理土壤污染,
10:54
or we could use it to generate生成 energy能源.
256
642647
3966
又或者建立发电厂。
10:58
So the descendants后人 of the Great Migration移民
257
646613
3198
因此,“大迁徙”先民的后代
11:01
could either become成为 precision精确
watchmakers制表大师 at ShinolaShinola,
258
649811
3244
既可以变成Shinola的精确制表工匠,
11:05
like Willie威利 H., who was featured精选
in one of their ads广告 last year,
259
653055
3311
就像去年Shinola广告中的威利先生那样;
11:08
or they can actually其实 grow增长 a business商业
260
656366
2392
也可以自己建立
11:10
that would service服务 companies公司 like ShinolaShinola.
261
658758
2725
可以给Shinola这样的公司提供服务的企业。
11:13
The good news新闻 is, there is a future未来
262
661483
2002
好消息是:下一代的底特律人
11:15
for the next下一个 generation of DetroitersDetroiters,
263
663485
2559
依然有着光明的前途,
11:18
both those there now and those that want to come.
264
666044
3164
不管已经身在底特律的还是想来底特律的都是这样。
11:21
So no thank you, Mayor市长 Menino梅尼诺,
265
669208
2131
所以,梅尼诺市长,你的好意我心领了;
11:23
who recently最近 was quoted as saying,
266
671339
1643
他曾说:
11:24
"I'd blow打击 up the place地点 and start开始 over."
267
672982
2615
”我要先把底特律夷为平地再重新开始。“
11:27
There are very important重要 people,
268
675597
2351
底特律仍有着十分重要的人群、
11:29
business商业 and land土地 assets资产 in Detroit底特律,
269
677948
2401
产业以及土地,
11:32
and there are real真实 opportunities机会 there.
270
680349
1796
而且还有实实在在的机遇。
11:34
So while Detroit底特律 might威力 not be what it was,
271
682145
2623
虽然底特律不会恢复它过去的模样,
11:36
Detroit底特律 will not die.
272
684768
1619
但它也不会消亡。
11:38
Thank you.
273
686387
2023
谢谢。
