I didn't say that, but I used it as an excuse. I listened to a lecture by Professor Tongji before, and the political and economic analysis of urban space was rather boring. However, there is a buddy in the Q&A session who seems to be relatively strong in Shenzhen. He has some complaints about Shanghai, saying that there are many young people, dynamic and innovative enterprises in Shenzhen. Shanghai is aging, with many state-owned enterprises and insufficient innovation. I think Shenzhen will hopefully surpass Shanghai and Yun Yun in the future. Ask the professor what he thinks.
The professor said it was a bit "hehe". He said that Shenzhen is very modern, young and energetic, but he feels that Shenzhen is not a real city. According to his own feelings, he almost always walks quickly from one point to another in the urban area, with a motor vehicle in the middle. He thinks that there is no cultural background in Shenzhen, not only the spread of traditional and modern culture in China, but also the story of Yongkang Road in Shanghai is difficult to tell.
Whether Shenzhen has a cultural heritage is a complex issue, and the war of words has never stopped. However, the spit of "Shenzhen is not a real city" makes my head explode. How can you sum it up so sharply? I remember Yi Zhongtian once said that Shanghai is most like a city in China (it's hard to say yet), and its evaluation of Shenzhen is even unqualified, which really sets each other off.
The reason why I fry my head is because I feel the same way, and there is a little thing that has given me great stimulation. When Hong Kong fell, I went to Shenzhen to join in the fun, wandered around Shenzhen and met Comrade Xiaoping. Find a place to live, north of Gangxia subway station
Next to the Fortune Building on the left side of Caitian Road. Then the problem is coming. It's about 1.5km from here to Lianhuashan Park, which is an awkward distance. If you take the subway, you have to take three stops, change trains at the convention center, and walk hundreds of meters to find the entrance. In that case, why don't I go north along Caitian Road and go directly to the southeast entrance of the park?
Anyone who has been to Shenzhen knows that whether by subway or on foot, the surrounding area is an incredible place, which is one of the core areas of Shenzhen. Shenzhen Municipal Government (Citizen Center), Citizen Square, Convention and Exhibition Center, 600-meter-high Ping An Financial Building, and CBD composed of skyscrapers. Comrade Xiaoping strode forward on the top of the Lotus Mountain, looking at the achievements of modernization in the distance, he must be very capable of paddling in his heart.
That is beside the point. I thought it would be easy to walk to Comrade Mo Xiaoping, but it is more and more wrong to go north. After the Milky Way Century Building, the road began to go uphill. It seems that I don't want to cross the plane of Shennan Avenue, which is convenient for motor vehicles. But there's nothing but two-way six lanes. Yes, except expressway, no one takes the road.
What kind of design is this? To tell the truth, it's the first time I've met a road without sidewalks in the city center. What does it mean to make an aisle more than one meter wide? I'm sorry, there's really nothing but the motorway. I may not even have half a meter left, so I'll walk backwards on the motorway.
I have to say that the weather and greening in Shenzhen are really good. Shennan Avenue is more magnificent than Chang 'an Avenue in the imperial city, and the high-rise buildings are also very textured and modern, but what's the use of these? Why are there no sidewalks in this very modern scene? I'll ask you again in a white way: what caused the sidewalk to disappear here? What about this city? I got lost in thinking. ...
One simple and rude answer we can think of is that the urban design in most parts of Shenzhen is not for you to walk or ride a bike. How does walking reflect modernization? How to face the high altitude view of Deng Gong? The whole city is complaining: why don't you take the bus? Why don't you drive? Why don't you own a car? When talking about (fa)*** enjoying cycling, I also said that Shenzhen and Beijing are one of the few cities that dare to engage in the so-called "expressway-style expressway" in downtown areas, so that the whole city can serve cars well. Expressway-style trunk roads like Shennan Avenue, in other words, are typical representatives of "roughly cutting the communication network and slender joints of the original urban organisms, thus causing structural damage to the city and functional chaos".
No wonder, look at the urban pattern of Shenzhen. Due to the Shenzhen River, Shenzhen Bay and mountain water, the central customs area is very long and narrow, starting from Li Antang in the east and reaching Qianhai in the west, about 30 kilometers. What is the concept of 30 kilometers? It is the distance between Shenzhen Municipal Government and Central Hong Kong, the distance between Shanghai Waigaoqiao and Hongqiao Airport, and the distance between Peking University and Tongzhou District. Thirty kilometers is nothing between cities, but it is almost the limit of the radiation range of megacities.
I don't know how Shenzhen came to this state step by step, but I guess it may be that bureaucrats at that time thought that Hong Kong opposite was the perfect city in their minds, so they built tall buildings crazily. What should I do after building a tall building? It's 30 kilometers from east to west, and so is the north and south. Quickly connect all corners of the city with expressway-"Time is money, efficiency is life!" Just in the 1980s, the concept of expressway also entered China (the first expressway in the Mainland was expressway, Hu Jia, with 1984 completed and 1988 opened to traffic), and Shenzhen was the most advanced testing ground for renovation. All this is so logical. So today we see on the satellite map that there is a big road stretching on the land of Shenzhen.
If you look down from the air, the scenery is quite good, but this is not a park, and we ordinary people can't afford to play. Such a large piece of land is almost entirely a golf course. I have nothing to say about this strange landscape in the city center. I have never seen a golf course with a particularly large area next to the municipal government (please remind me where there is such a golf course ~). If the land is used in this way, the road next to it can't be turned into expressway, so that cars can run smoothly. Pedestrians can't see an intersection for a kilometer, and they are sure to collapse. Has anyone investigated who comes here to play ball? Will Qi Tongwei and Gao come here to discuss?
Baidu Encyclopedia shows that the original land was started as early as March 1984, that is, less than two months after Comrade Xiaoping first visited Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, and it was started by Tefa Group in cooperation with Hong Kong Hualian Industrial Company, and it was opened in June 1985+0 1. When it was first built, the center of Shenzhen was only a small part of Luohu, and the municipal government was also in Luohu. Who knew the construction of Shenzhen was so rapid? Ten years later, all expressway extended westward to Futian and Nankou. The golf course in the suburbs suddenly became an urban area, and the municipal government moved to Futian.
It is impossible to tear up the land after it is built, but the sports service life of the land was originally set at 30 years, which should expire on 20 15 and be used for other purposes. But now this place shows no signs of reconstruction. Isn't Shenzhen always clamoring for insufficient land? Why did you let such large-scale land use in the first place? What are the officials in Shenzhen doing now? Let this place be occupied all the time? Even if the park can be opened to the outside world in the future, can roads be opened in the plot (like new york Central Park)?
