for climate change,
for three billion people.
供三十亿人口居住的城市。
of the urban environment.
in the world will save mankind,
能否拯救人类,
on how we shape our cities:
取决于我们如何建造我们的城市:
is a manifestation
can help us solve climate change,
做好这件事有助于解决气候变化问题,
to be driving the problem.
and oil companies.
或者其他石油公司。
and I'll be upfront about that.
我会实话实说。
you think of, or many people think of,
或者许多人想象的那样,
of the metropolitan area.
anywhere, at any density.
会在任何地区以不同的密度发生。
is that it isolates people.
隔离了人与人之间的距离。
into economic enclaves
what we all need to be thinking about,
城市蔓延的解药,
this massive construction project.
要建设如此大的项目的时候。
for the state of California
with reducing carbon emissions.
加州会如何发展的场景,
for how the state could grow,
overly simplified one.
through the year 2050,
in our state of California.
shopping malls, subdivisions,
购物中心、土地分割、
not everybody moving to the city,
并不是所有人都涌向城市,
as streetcar suburbs,
mixed-used environments.
但整体集约发展、综合使用的环境。
for the scale of the difference
in our city-making habit
都代表了一个特殊利益群体,
a special interest group,
that used to advocate for their concerns
只关注自己眼前的利益,
"co-benefits" of urban form
我称之为“共赢利益”,
concerned about this,
that want open space nearby.
physical footprint.
carbon emission comes from cars,
碳排放的最大来源是汽车,
on cars as much
that's what I was just talking about.
就是我刚刚提到的。
per household per year,
in the mid-26,000 per household,
每户两万六千多英里,
空气质量,降低碳排放,
not just on air quality and carbon
how do you fix it once we broke it --
一旦出了问题我们该如何补救,
of cities that we shape.
所拥有的功能。
industry running amok.
too many of the wrong kind of housing:
middle-class family to afford
to their lifestyle anymore.
不再符合他们的生活方式。
and get it sold.
the median is 50,000 --
的收入是5万——
who often sit off in their silos
往往自己有房住,
separate from the politicians,
政治家有系统性的隔离,
is what really brings about the change.
才能带来真正的变革。
of bonds for transit
的债券拿来建设公共交通,
和公共交通之城,
desirable land, the strip,
what you think of as an oxymoron,
你们也许会觉得这有点矛盾,
大家在超级小区里互相隔离,
everything isolated in superblocks,
that was just spoken to.
in China now is spent
of Chinese cities is robust.
发展非常迅勐。
interacting with your neighbors.
与邻居互动。
但并非遥不可及。
5,000 units in them,
because nobody knows anybody else.
a sidewalk, no ground floor shops --
散步步道,没有底层商铺,
here in one of the superblocks
发现了一件事,
shops in their garages
of local service economy.
to get it right is there.
需求就摆在那儿。
on board and the politicians.
和政治家意识到。
规划技术层面的内容。
the alternative to sprawl
million people.
is a walking radius
建设地铁和快速公交,
called for green space
全转向诉求绿色空间
ecological features.
are auto-free streets.
leveling the site
that really wasn't normative in China
绿化带观念带进中国,
I dearly love.
把街道的使用权全部给车呢?
of our streets to cars?
could move well for them,
so they could bike?
cities would function better.
they build in Beijing,
complete gridlock.
mixed use along the edge.
两边是综合利用区。
autonomous vehicles,
使用无人驾驶车辆,
to talk about that later.
that have now been adopted
in the Chinese government,
I think, universal principles.
the natural environment, the history
but when I say mixed,
that you don't enjoy walking in.
are places you can walk.
肯定是可以散步的地方。
都变成这样呢?
means of transportation we know.
that put six meters of bike lane
要在每条街道
to their biking history.
that allows many routes
允许有多种路线组合,
instead of just one.
going to solve this for us.
to generate more traffic, more VMT,
无人车会产生更多交通流量,
based on transit
是有分层级的,
为枢纽的老城市相比
have to get reconnected
重新连接起来,
the structure of the city.
these changes are well accepted.
这些变化都被广泛接受。
we can bring to bear now
可以发挥作用,
political coalitions
the kinds of communities we all need.
我们梦寐以求的社区。
autonomous driving, self-driving cars.
自动驾驶,无人驾驶汽车。
are very excited about them.
or issues about them?
there's almost too much hype here.
我认为宣传得有些过了。
we're going to get rid of a lot of cars.
我们会减少许多车辆。
to get a lot more vehicle miles.
我们会增加许多车辆里程。
cars moving on streets.
大家会行驶更远的距离。
people will travel greater distances.
that people won't share them.
人们不愿意拼车。
increase in vehicle miles traveled.
a 30 percent increase in VMT.
having multiple people riding at once
通过某种智能共享的方式
without a steering wheel.
of vehicles -- you can do it
it doesn't matter.
that are going to be efficient electric,
唯一能让电动车变得高效的,
is that walking, biking and transit
in their private bubbles,
to McDonald's to pick up a pack
去麦当劳取餐,
kind of random errands
and I have to say, the images you showed
我不得不说,你给我们展示的
were really inspiring, really beautiful.
非常有启发性,非常漂亮。
CA:谢谢你所做的工作。
CA: Thank you for your work.
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Peter Calthorpe - Urban designerThrough his writing and his realized projects, Peter Calthorpe has spread the vision of New Urbanism, a framework for creating sustainable, human-scaled places.
Why you should listen
Peter Calthorpe’s 30-year design practice is informed by the idea that successful places -- whether neighborhoods, towns, urban districts or metropolitan regions -- must be diverse in uses and users, must be scaled to the pedestrian and human interaction, and must be environmentally sustainable.
In the early 1990s, Calthorpe developed the concept of Transit Oriented Development (described in his book The Next American Metropolis: Ecology, Community and the American Dream) -- an idea that is now the foundation of many regional policies and city plans around the world. His 2010 book is Urbanism in the Age of Climate Change. Calthorpe Associates' work in Europe, Asia and the Middle East has demonstrated that community design with a focus on sustainability and scale can be adapted throughout the globe. His current work throughout China is focused on developing standards and examples of Low Carbon Cities in Beijing, Chongqing, Kunming, Zhuhai, Jinan and other major cities.
