Urban Planning 1.1: The New Megalopolis

Question 1

Siêu đô thị.

Answer 1

The New Megalopolis

Our focus on cities is wrong. Growth and innovation come from new urban corridors.

China isn’t the world’s most ferocious new economic competitor—the exploding east­coast corridor, from Beijing to Shanghai, is. India as a whole is not developing high-tech industries and attracting jobs, but the booming mega-region stretching from Bangalore to Hyderabad is. Across the world, in fact, nations don’t spur growth so much as dynamic regions—modern versions of the original “megalopolis,” a term coined by the geographer Jean Gottman to identify the sprawling Boston-New York-Washington economic power corridor.

Question 34

Bản đồ cho thấy rõ rằng…

Answer 34

The map makes it clear that the global economy takes shape around perhaps 20 great Megas—half in the United States and the rest scattered throughout the world. These regions are home to just 10 percent of total world population, 660 million people, but produce half of all economic activity, two thirds of world-class scientific activity, and three quarters of global innovations. The great urbanologist Jane Jacobs was the first to describe why megalopolises grow. When people migrate to one place, they all become more productive. And the place itself becomes much more productive, because collective creativity grows exponentially3• Ideas flow more freely, are honed4 more sharply, and can be put into practice more quickly.
