Towards the Chinese Dream in 8 Steps

+1

2008年，市场资本主义的单纯形式遭受了致命一击。原因并非全球 经济的崩溃，而是基本意识形态所受的突然冲蚀。艾伦·格林斯潘，自由 市场的大哲人，亦承认了能力不足：“在过去40年，相信市场最好还是 自我调控的观点是有误的……某些支撑市场竞争的关键支柱，可以说倒塌 了”。之后数月，各种经济刺激方案席卷全 球。当最顽固的经济保守派大喊“救市” 时，美国的自由派却突然反对政府大量开 支，担心这只会让罪魁们中饱私囊。整个世 界的政治金融逻辑似乎在瞬间颠倒，经济信 仰体系的矛盾暴露。美国政府拨款数十亿拯 救经济，却未有清楚的目标。

Market capitalism in its purest form received a deathblow in 2008. Not because of the global economic melt-down, but because of the sudden erosion of its underlying ideology. Alan Greenspan, the oracle of the free market, conceded incompetence: “The idea of the last forty years, that the markets were best to regulate themselves was flawed [...] some of the critical pillars underlying market competition arguably, have failed”. In the months that followed stimulus packages took the world by storm. Words like bailout were uttered by the starkest economic conservatives, while American liberals suddenly opposed the idea of government spending fearing it might just line the pockets of those who corrupted the system in the first place. The world’s political financial logic turned upside down. The contradictions in the economic belief system brutally revealed themselves in sheer apathy. Billions of dollars were allocated to rescue the economy, but no clear objective to spend the money could be formulated.

警告

中国4.2万亿经济刺激方案引来了大量 争议。也许是太冲动、难以实施，而且让 地方政府承担总预算的四分之三，在房地 产业不景气的时刻未免牵强。然而，即使 这一措施有效，我们仍需提出一个更深刻的 问题——为什么一定要维持8％的GDP增长 率？这一贯彻了十年之久的观念最初是为了 人为地保障就业及社会稳定，但却与市场经 济原则相悖、并与防止经济过热的目标冲 突。不可否认，维持平衡相当艰难，但很明 显，中央政府将一如既往地选择更快增长而 非经济放缓。波及西方世界的危机应该是有 力的警告，但事关中国未来发展的根本问题 却仍未触及。

的市场投机。当闪电式城市化已过而立之年，我们应该问，这是否 仍是人们想要的、可被接受的模式。我们需要评估高速增长的质量，以及 它塑造的社会。可惜并无先例或范本。我们不能根据前30年的经验来预 测这辆‘东方快车’的方向；中国也不能照搬其他已成功国家曾经的方 向。30年间，世界已翻天覆地。西方工业国家线性的经济发展已经不够 用。个人财富和整体进步（甚至全球进步）之间的微妙关联已浮出水面。 这不仅在危机突现的房地产市场、也在新兴经济中个体承受的环境压力上 升中得到体现。迄今为止，政府启动的城市化已成为一个有效工具，它成 功打消了开发所加剧的社会对立情绪。而在显中央神威的魔法秀中，呈现 给外国（和中国内陆）的是30年自上而下的规划与协调的最高成就。整 个八月，空气清新，连雨水也受控，但不久后烟雾即滚滚回京。类似应对 后奥运经济放缓的措施还遭遇了房地产市场的严峻现实。人为促增长的界 限似乎已经到来。

Warnings

前提

A strong economy depends on fast urbanization. Yet many basic problems can be contributed to the accelerated pace of construction, ranging from housing shortage as a result of large-scale demolition policies to rampant speculation. After precisely 30 years of flash urbanization we need to ask if this is still a desired, even acceptable model. We need to assess the specific qualities of high-speed growth and the type of environments and society it produces. Unfortunately there are no precedents. We cannot evaluate the direction of this fast moving train based on the conditions it left behind 30 years ago. Nor can China determine its intended direction based on what other countries have achieved. In three decades the world has dramatically changed. Linear economic development along the lines of western industrial nations will no longer suffice. The minute interconnections b e t w e e n individual prosperity and

除了战略性矛盾外，中国的经济刺激方案面临诸多现实的挑战。然 而与华尔街只要空白支票不同，中国在界定钱的拨配问题上非常明确。投 向领域包括社会、民生（住房保障、医疗保健和教育）、基础设施建设 （农村基础设施、电网、铁路、公路和机场）、环境（生态保护和水治 理）以及灾后重建。这些都是有明确方针目标的实干工程，将为中国的发 展带来一丝新变。这一国家建设的方法，是以大规模的刺激为基础，加上 谨慎放行的自下而上的创业精神。而从改革伊始，这就被证明是成功的妙 方。在没有更好的定义时，社会主义与市场 经济的二元体恐怕要算最佳描述。当西 方资本主义岌岌可危之时，中国的经 济刺激方案提供了一次认真定义 社会主义市场经济体制的良 机。但这有一个前提：我 们需要思考并追踪它 将如何塑造社会与 景观。

18

Much critique has also been raised about China’s 4.2 trillion RMB stimulus package. It might be too impulsive, difficult to implement and indeed too expensive at a time of a real-estate slow-down for local governments to cough up 3/4 of the sum. However, assuming the effectiveness of this measure, there is a more profound question we should raise. Why must an impressive 8% annual growth rate be upheld in the first place? This decade old concept aimed to artificially safeguard employment - and with it stability - flies in the face of China’s move to a market economy, moreover it contradicts the stated ambitions to prevent its economy from overheating. The task of this balancing act is undeniably daunting, yet it seems clear the central government will invariably opt for faster growth over a slow down. The extensive crisis in the West should provide a strong warning, yet fundamental questions about China’s future are still not addressed.

Unlearning Modernity

一国两力

迥异于30年前的是，中国地图不再是可任意作为的白板*。今天，中 国的经济――与其他任何地方一样――与城市的地理条件密切关联。成功 的社会主义－市场经济的二元体与它一手造成的界限模糊的城乡二元体－ 不幸却越来越不融合。新的城市景观复杂多变，如规划只是将孤立的项目 简单排列，那么这相悖于投资有先后的特性。我们需要的是空间与投资关 系相协调的规划。强大的、自下而上的经济也在广泛而体系化地生长，与 自上而下的经济及其规划机制平行。尽管是两个遥远的世界，却彼此促 进。当中国宏观地规划着它的城市和形像，微观项目之累加也在扩张着城 市景观，以市场化无序开发的形式，或者说MUD* （如下图所示）。

隐匿的现实

观察MUD的构成会粉碎对草根城市与协调景观最坚定的信仰。在街 道层面，中国新城市空间被细致规划得十分完美，而同样精致的孤岛型开 发项目连绵成片，两者共同展现了宏观规划的有机体系。中国下一阶段的 最大挑战就是如何将这两股力量汇聚。这很困难，不仅因为发展的速度， 更由于中国有悖常理的现实。与日俱增的华丽与貌似现代的外表，城市化 的有机本质却被掩盖。其结果是，政策和规划措施只会在特定范畴内合 理，即今天我们所面对的问题。对明天将必然出现的情势却全无应对，它 们终会沦为问题制造者。空间碎片化，社会分层化等中国城市景观的种种 分立又加深了。机会之窗亦被关上。

界定形态

建筑业不断发展，疯狂地加速运转以满足新城市的需求，全面的融 设计、研究及教育于一体、能创造未来景观的的系统却未出现。中国城市 的组件寥寥数日即可设计出炉，但之后的MUD布局却要被固化数十年。 经济不再是城市化的唯一 前提，城市形态反而日益 重要地塑造着经济潜力。 其长期影响难以被高估。 一项美洲、亚洲和欧洲城 市空间构成的比较研究显 示了它在能耗、生产力、 创意甚至包括犯罪率和幸 福感方面的作用。要超越 建筑群或开发区的范畴进

collective (even global) progress have surfaced. This is true for the crises in the housing market, but equally for the augmenting environmental pressures felt particularly at an individual level in the emerging economies. So far government initiated urbanization has been an effective tool to offset mounting social tensions against bright new developments. In a magical show of central might the outside world (and China’s hinterland), were presented with the highest achievement of three decades of top-down planning and orchestration. For a month in August the air was clean, even the rain was controlled, but soon after smoggy clouds rolled back over Beijing. Similarly actions to tackle the post-Olympic slowdown were confronted with the harsh reality of a real-estate slum. The limits of artificial growth have been reached.

Preconditions In addition to the strategic contradictions, there are plenty of practical challenges facing China’s stimulus package. But unlike Wall Street's demand for a blind check, at least China has been extremely precise in defining how it wants to allocate the money. The targets primed for investment range from society and livelihood (housing security, medical care and education), to infrastructure (rural infrastructure, the power grid, railways, highways and airports), the environment (ecological protection a n d w a t e r treatment), to post-disaster reconstruction. All are handson projects with a clear directive a n d purpose t h a t should help give

行设计，与打造我们的和谐社会一样艰巨。 与世界其他地区不同，中国还可期待下一个30年的增长，以及唯一 的机会去调合散点城市扩张的结果。接纳了城市的动态本质，密度便可 成为让发展流畅的有效工具。我们依然可以放弃国家－市场机器安排的 静态的、了无生气的布局，前提是我们鼓励一个（真正自由的）自由市 场采纳灵活的城市框架――它不仅更具可持续性，在这个跌宕起伏的时 代也更利于投资。短期的经济增长可能有助于稳定，快速城市化阻碍了 开发商和类似机构进行革新、寻求多元，并破坏了质量导向的竞争。 当房地产市场走出供方市场时，这本是我们的期待。

路线图

任何推动经济发展或让社会和谐的理想，其关键都在于我们对城 市愿景的全局把握。讽刺的是，中国的前奥运规划好比西医：治疗单 独病症时又快又猛。现在完成过半，后奥运中国必须开始启用自己的 模式，从粗糙的超大工程疗法转向更广泛的规划哲学。这个改变既紧 迫又重大；既需即刻执行也需持之以恒。规划师不能再躲在“不能 不无限妥协”这类借口背后，仅仅为了在中国市场立足。规划师必 须承认，设计不是画草图，设计过程也不是选用哪种风格的问题， 而是克服困扰中国式地产开发的一切固有矛盾与障碍。我们大家 都是城市化进程的同谋，也是解决方案不可缺少的一分子。 本期《城市中国》的路线图为我们展示了通向另一种 未来的道路集合。基于动态城市基金会的研究，以及来 自世界各地设计师和机构的投稿，我们构建的框架 让独立的点子汇聚成了一幅更大的概念拼图。 在 城市运转的不同规模之间，在中国的经济刺激 方案的各部分之间，关联性一点点被塑造。 但要警告的是：这并不像连线游戏那样 简单，它不再是黑与白、好与坏的选 择。相反，在每一个交汇点上，我 们都需要对短期收益和长期投 资进行反复思量。

nuance to China’s ongoing development. This method of nation building, based on large-scale incentives coupled with a careful release of bottom-up entrepreneurialism has been the success formula from the beginning of the reform era. It is, for lack of a definition, the best way to describe the socialist market hybrid. With Western capitalism in disrepair China’s stimulus package presents a real opportunity to mindfully define the socialist market economy. But there is a precondition: that we consider and map how it will likely shape society and landscape.

One Nation, Two Forces Unlike three decades ago, China’s map can no longer be approached as a tabula rasa*. Today, China’s economy - as any where else - is entirely interconnected with its urban geographic conditions. Unfortunately, the success of the socialistmarket hybrid is increasingly at odds with the blurred rural-urban hybrid it produces. The new landscape is complex and dynamic; ill-suited to investments as a blunt listing of isolated objectives. Precisely the awe-inspiring gains that have been made, now dictate a shift towards coordinated spatial-economic planning. Parallel to the top-down economy and its planning apparatus a powerful bottom-up economy has generated a pervasive organic growth. Two worlds that fear each other, yet feed off each other. While China macro-plans its cities and icons, aggregated micro-projects expand the urban landscape in the form of more Market-driven Unintentional Development, or MUD* (as illustrated below). Concealed Reality Observing MUD formations fractures the persistent beliefs in both the grassroots city and the orchestrated landscape. At street l e v e l

China's new urban realms look perfectly micro-planned while the same polished island developments at the scale of the region merge together to reveal macroorganic systems. The biggest challenge for China’s next phase is to consciously address these two forces as a single dynamic. This is difficult, not just because of the development speed, but because of the counterintuitive reality China is producing. Increasingly slick and superficially modern, the organic nature of its urbanization remains concealed. As a result policies and planning measures are rational only to the extent that they address what is seemingly in front of us today. Unresponsive to an inevitably different reality tomorrow they ultimately contribute to the problems. Spatially fragmented, socially divided the schisms that characterize China’s urban landscape widen. The window of opportunity is closing.

Defying Patterns While the building industry has evolved, tremendously accelerating its operations to meet the demand for new cities, a comprehensive design, research and education system needed to answer how best to produce the future landscape is still not in place. The components of China's cities are designed in days;

the ensuing MUD configurations then fixed for decades. Yet the economy is no longer just a prerequisite for urbanization, instead urban patterns are increasingly shaping future economic potential. The long-term effects can hardly be overestimated. A comparison between the spatial constitution of American, Asian and European cities reveals the impact on energy use, productivity, creativity, even crime rates and happiness. Designing the city beyond the scale of the compound or development zone is becoming as difficult as harmonizing society itself. But unlike the rest of the world, China can anticipate another three decades of growth; a unique opportunity to coordinate its scattered organic expansion. Embracing the dynamic nature of the city, density itself becomes an effective tool to streamline growth. We can still abandon the static and sterile layouts the statemarket machine generates, if we encourage a free free market to adopt flexible urban frameworks - this is not just more sustainable but more investment-friendly in these turbulent times. Short-term economic growth might support stability, fast pace urbanization discourages developers and institutes alike to innovate and diversify, undermining the quality-driven competition we could expect as the realestate market moves away from a suppliers’ market.

Roadmap Any ambition to either support the economy or engineer the harmonious society hinges on our commitment to an holistic urban vision. Ironically, pre-Olympic Chinese planning can best be compared to Western medicine: fast and powerful in tackling isolated problems. Now half-way complete, post-Olympic China must start drawing on its own models, and switch from crude mega-project medication to a broader planning philosophy. This change is both urgent and drastic; its implementation needs to be both immediate and long-term. Designers can no longer hide behind the much vaunted excuse ‘endless flexibility is acceptable’ in order to survive in the Chinese market. While developers will need to accept that design is not drafting, and that the design the process is less a question of applying stylistic cues than a means to overcome the contradictions and hurdles that plague China’s development. All of us involved in the urbanization process are accomplices and we are all an integral part of the solution. This issue of Urban China offers a roadmap to mark out a collective route to an alternative future. Based on the research by the Dynamic City Foundation and with contributions from designers and institutes from across the globe, we have produced a framework in which the individual ideas come together to form a larger conceptual patchwork. Step by step correlations are forged between the scales on which the city operates and between the components of China’s stimulus package. But be warned: it is not as straight-forward as join-the-dots, no longer as black and white as good and bad options. Instead, at every junction, we’ll need to think twice about shortterm gains and long-term investment.

Text/Adrian HORNSBY

1. 中国中国， 继续成长吧！

China China, Keep Growing!

第一步 STEP 1

更快： 现代性的地位已经相当牢固；更快就是更 好。加速增长就是经济活力的明证。保增 长是确保社会安定和让中产阶级继续壮大 的唯一方法。速度让“中国梦”延续。

更慢： 然而中国的速度正在沦为自己的拖累。那个耳熟 能详的借口——设计没时间为将来考虑——正迅 速变为自我实现的预言。接受经济放缓是催生大 局观的天然良机。我们需要柔缓的梦想来补给中 国超速的现实。

FASTER: Modernity has firmly established; faster is always better. Accelerated growth is testament of economic momentum. Keeping growth on pace is the only way to safeguard stability and ongoing expansion of the middle-class. Speed is what keeps the Chinese Dream alive.

SLOWER: But China’s raucous speed is catching up with itself. The general excuse there is no time to design with consideration for the future, is fast becoming a selffulfilling prophecy. Accepting the economic slowdown is a natural opportunity to conceive an holistic vision. We must supplement China’s fast pace reality with slow dreams immediately.

我们正身处全球风暴之中。美 国卑躬屈膝地祈求外界注入现金；银 行惨淡经营，价格下跌，货柜船空载到 岸。而中国――世界上最全球化的国家 之一――已明确表示：它为全球稳定所做 的“最大贡献”将是对自身经济平稳运行 的勉力维持。根本上说，风高浪急之时，一 切只能指望自己。 有充分理由相信，这将符合全世界的最大利 益。西方经济放缓之时，全球经济逐渐转向依赖 中国来维持某种增长的表象；若中国现在也陷入衰 退，这将把整个世界卷入螺旋式下滑的轨道。所幸的 是，全球仍然信心十足。普遍认为，中国的经济增长 相当可靠，因为它并非建立在某种单一、有限的资源之 上，比如石油（如俄罗斯），而是以中国工人不断提升的 生产效率为基础。他们有什么原因要停止工作、停止赚钱 呢？

然而，稍微仔细观察就能发现一副更脆弱的图景。过去 二十年间，中国经济的增长由双引擎驱动，城市化和商品出口在 两侧助燃。目前出口渐趋减少。相对于十五年来持续为２６％的年 出口增长态势，西方的衰退已在2008年导致了2％的下滑。因此， 出口已成一大阻力而非动力。与此同时，中央政府愈来愈关心城市土 地征购问题。过去十五年中国的城市面积急遽膨胀了2.5倍。如今，由 于担心耕种能力将持续丧失，政府规定至少需保留一亿两千万公顷的农 业用地。这就是目前所剩无几的面积，而可供城市发展的空间就更稀少而 宝贵了。 商品出口与城市扩张的陡然下滑，齐齐袭来成为两股吹向增长浪潮的强 风。过去曾主导中国物质与社会景观转型的快速城市化模式，现在却被现实前 景哽住呼吸：没有用于发展的新土地，没有发展所需的资本投资，也没有令发展 圆满的最后一个环节即销售所需的国外市场。事实证明，中国的增长远远不是所 谓的资源独立型，事实上它严重依赖于两大截然不同的资源，而直到最近人们依然 预设它们无限无穷。这两者分别是西方消费者的财富，以及中国本身的大国之大。然 而，在世界如此需要它们的此时此刻，它们却双双显出令人不安的疲惫之态。

25

2．但不能这样！ BUT NOT LIKE THAT! 其次，借助增长模式中的快速城市化，不平衡的问题同 样出现在中国国内。同样也是90年代初，鼓励地方官员以企 业家的方式提升GDP的中央政策开始实施。这引发了一场多 层次的城市化热潮。发展地方GDP的最佳手段莫过于刺激城市 化，而地方官员为城市化筹集必需资金的最佳方法¬——莫过于 出售手里最多的东西：土地。中国各地各级别的官员纷纷收购 土地，拆除干净，并以出售使用权的方式转售给城市开发商，再 用现金去履行基础设施建设的承诺，全力打造光鲜亮丽的市中心 蓝图。根据市场改革的原则，这些程序应该留待它们自己实现， 并根据公报的GDP数据对其进行评估。结果是一场混乱无序、原 子化的、泛滥全中国的建设狂潮，数以千计的中小城市同时迅速 扩大――甚至扩张到过去属于农村的地区――疯狂地为招商引资 而竞争。在竞争白热化的大气候中， 羽翼未丰的发展中城市纷纷 加入这场杀气浓的削价战，提供给产业发展的土地越来越便宜，税 收政策越来越宽松，监管越来越少。接踵而至的是无组织的土地过 度消费，而规章制度、规划和施工质量的缺乏更为严峻。 事实上，这应该早就是显而易见的事情，如果能考虑到“快速 城市化－出口最大化”的态度在本质上就不可持续。首先，在更大 的规划安排中，出口始终需要保持平衡。过去十多年来，中国一直 维持着巨大的对美贸易顺差，出口远大于进口，以美元储备了大量贸 易收益。结果是美国国内低息信贷泛滥，这维持了经济繁荣，但却创 造了巨量债务。任何一家商店老板都知道，你不能总是通过借贷给客 户来让他们继续购买你的产品。当下的全球金融危机清楚表明：解决 积重难返的全球不平衡问题已经迫在眉睫。 而在与地方上暗箱交易的保护下，工厂老板横行无阻，几乎不受 中央规划或市场现实的约束。他们固然生产了廉价的出口商品，但宏 观结构却被打上了地方保护主义的烙印，而土地滥用更令其千疮百 孔。前土地所有者的公然示威说明了这一问题。2007年，官方纪录 了8万起发生在中国各地的大规模抗议活动：这一数字是1992年数 字的10倍。其中一半以上都直接与土地问题相关。事情真 不能这么继续下去了。

4．快快快！ HURRY UP ALREADY! 即将到来的移民潮构成了中国最大的挑战：由风行“即兴主义”（ad hocism）的前奥运城市潮，进步到更成熟、更具可持续性的后奥运城市社会。这 一必然过程在空间上也许并不普遍，但却会牵涉到更多的人――将有更多的人进 入城市，带着更大的期望，成为更庞大且不容质疑的存在。中国通过维持自身经 济平稳运行为世界做出巨大贡献，其重点将是管理涌入的大潮及重新引导增长能 力。以上两事，势在必行。且需争分夺秒。

5.只能变得更好！ ONLY GROW BETTER! 近期城市化（即猖獗的土地征购和大量临时人口所推动的 原子化发展态势）的特点可说是五轮齐动向前飞驰。也就是让 各地同时城市化。这是种单向度、非理性的膨胀，全球金融危机 轻而易举就将之击溃。但中国4.2万亿人民币经济刺激方案的出台 却代表了这种做法的终结。它是对中央政府职能的明确认知，如果 放任自流，五个轮子将会脱链，而整架马车将滚进水沟。该经济刺激 方案就是那只掌控缰绳的操纵之手。 显然，经济刺激方案最大的组成部分是国家级基础设施建设。铺设新 道路、铁路和机场网络，必然导致各城市根据各自贯通程度而合理化地分 层。重中之重将是国家电网的发展，它将决定未来城市增长的形与量。重工业 可以遵循分布式发电系统，而设置在城外运煤车的终点附近。城市中心将变得 更高端并更依赖IT产业，逐渐串连并挂靠在交织的供电线路上。中央在供电线路 和发电厂方面的投入，很大程度上将承担起国家和区域规划迄今为止依然未尽的责 任。

3．不是叫你停！ I’M NOT SAYING STOP! 然而，本质性结构混乱却令原子城市化模式能够适应后奥运时代 的中国。与此同时，政策纵容了无处不在的地方官僚的政绩创业精神， 以及对超大城市的固有偏好。在城市化全面启动的90年代，由前任领导人江 泽民和朱镕基开拓的上海模式，必然对沿海的经济特区（SEZ）有所偏爱。这 些区域可以利用其独特的进出口地位和它们高水准的国际知名度，吸引更多外资， 从而超越了喧嚣的内陆城市。深层的结构性优势使超大城市更容易吸引人力资本， 有的来自国内的毕业生群体，更有来自异国的人才，因为此时这些超大城市已成为 了面向世界的国际中心。

移民问题将城市的不连贯性表现得最为明显。即使在某些条件下有所松缓，但户 口制度的继续存在就意味着从农村到城市的人口迁徙将继续受到限制。因此，当国家 经济增长的成果偏向城市，城市化的移民则被鼓励离开村庄而不是离开农村，这创造 了高水平的省内人口迁移和流动人口规模。身处被管理的灰色地带，流动人口一直是 最不稳定的城市居民――人口组成中波动最大的部分，他们为城市鞠躬尽瘁，但却被 禁止融入城市的基本结构。

这种不稳定的人口迁徙对城市发展有两大危害。首先，与所处的临时环境之间没 有归属关系，临时移民对周围环境的个人或财务投资水平都较低。没有固定居民，当地 环境就会恶化到标准之下，但这些都欣然得到了容忍，因为它们被视为了短期问题。关 键在于，对于流动人口来说，这些的确是短期问题，但对成长中的城市来说却是严峻的 现实。城市正备受煎熬。其次，财务投资没有被流动人口注入城市环境，而是以汇款的 形式转向流出，流向那些被认为是更稳定、更长久的地方，比如移民出发的地方。其结 果导致了城市生产创造的资本流出了城市，流入农村而不是为城市的发展提供资金支 持。因此，最需要投资的地方（换言之，钱从何处产生就应该投入这里的下一步发展） 却现金短缺。这种倒退并非停留在概念上，移民规模将在未来一段时期内加剧，这一 事实令情况更加严峻。以前，城市规模和面积的膨胀导致了城市人口的大幅增加，且 因此并入了过去的农村人口，而未来的城市增长则很可能大部分来自农村人口的涌 入。中型城市未来将有40至50 ％ 的人口是移民。但难道他们都只抱有某种临时的期 望吗？如果在一个城市中，过半数的人口并不认为自己真正住在这里，这将意味着什 么呢？

从较低的层面看，积极的业主与新兴的城市房地产市场将成为改善城市整合进程的 原则路径。原子化模式鼓励了城市间白炙化的竞争，以及随之而来的波动与市场的短视 行为。然而，若地方官员有了一定管制力度，国有银行对实际土地交易和相关投资结构也 有所掌控，从城市居民的角度来看，城市内的市场事实上是被限制过头了。将对市场自由的 关注从节点转移到空间上的竞争，这将调动起消费者的积极性，成为第二只――这回是“看 不见”的――操纵之手。较之官方鞭策的GDP面积与数据所组成的市场，后奥运时代中国城市 的真正竞争发生在真正的公寓、商店、办公室、休闲和文化空间等地方。在此，主角变成住在城 中、购买项目的人们。重构城市增长使之更紧贴需求，这将有效防御可能出现的泡沫，并同时攫 取更多住宅投资资本。 朝着这个方向迈出的重要一步，同时也是新措 施的一部分，就是按揭贷款的首期付 款降低20％至30％

置产门槛越低，业主对城市开发 的反应就越热烈，开发商的影响就越小（但首付过低又会导致投机现 象再次激增，负资产的风险也会增大）。这个转向蕴含的更深但同样刺激性的暗示，是它将令 更多的钱落入消费者自己的口袋。原本局限在住房上的现金得到释放并进入城市零售领域，这是真正未被世界 性危机破坏的牛市。 当中国的出口贸易开始紧缩，国内的消费却强劲攀升，2008年零售额增长了22 ％ 。这无疑是个鼓舞人心的消息， 尤其考虑到中国的消费者还只是总体GDP较小的贡献者（不到四分之一，而美国则达到了四分之三），它为未来扩张留下 的巨大空间令人遐想。事实上，是新贵消费者涌入他已安居的城市，计划如何花掉薪水，推动并完成这股增长潮。只有将 “他”置于其位，才能将增长点从逐渐瓦解的国家主控、出口导向的运作转移至由消费者主控、以国内消费为主导的销售。 随着全球风暴的东徙，中国中产阶层的都市购物者――一手拎着大包小包，另一手握着房地产广告画册――站在风暴眼 中，仰头凝望。

事实上，城市化进程始终围绕着小城市（居民少于75 万），这是效率最低的城市发展阶段。如果将来城市化以该水 平进行，将无法超越城市的临界点，也不能进化成拥有紧凑的中 型乃至大型市中心的城市体系。

城市往农村移民/urban to rural migration: 5%

In fact, urbanization revolves around the small cities (<750,000 inhabitants). This is the settlement size with 29 the least efficient footprint.

第二步 STEP 2

自上而下： 中国集体城市景观的私有化最终是件国家 事务。举国一致、自上而下的激励政策成 功已改变了所有城市。各地的市场领袖一 块地一块地、迅速改变着整个国家；一切 都在高效的规划与控制中进行着。

自下而上： 然而所有自上而下的激励政策――从经济特区到 社会主义新农村――仍需个人来实现。要更强 大，中国就必须支持他们奋斗。要更健康，就必 须让这些个体行为混乱的有机本质变得流畅、有 序；要繁荣，就要将他们的多元化视为生机的源 泉，取消一切排挤他们的僵死的城市规划。

TOP-DOWN: Privatizing China’s collective urban landscape is ultimately a state affair. Nationally top-down incentives have successfully transformed entire cities. While locally designated market leaders are plot by plot swiftly transforming the nation; all efficiently planned and controlled.

BOTTOM-UP: Yet most top-down incentives - from the special economic zones to the new socialist village - are actualized by individuals. To grow strong, China must support their efforts. To grow healthy it must streamline the muddled organic nature of their efforts; to thrive, their diversity embraced as a source of liveliness that can supplement the sterile urban plans that are pushing them aside.

(反）城市情结 + 爱/惧 (Anti) Urban Sentiment + Love / fear 上世纪五十年代伊始，中国城市规划的各层面被恐惧参透：对拥挤中心的恐惧，对于自主发展的 恐惧，对于不可控制的城市空间的恐惧。而后从八十年代开始，对于城市的爱火缓慢重燃。而 户口制度仍然强悍着。若要拯救城市、与散点城市扩张作战，我们不能给任何反城市的情绪或 政策以立足之地。

development zones* rural population growth

Since the early fifties, at every level fear has permeated China’s planning decisions: fear of overcrowding centers, fear of erratic growth, fear of unmanageable cityscapes. Then from the eighties onwards slowly a love for the city again rekindled. However, the urban registration system has remained in place. To save the city and combat scattered urban expansion we cannot allow any anti-urban sentiments or policies to linger.

单一蔓生 MONOSPRAWL*

城市扩张部分由于功能缺乏而导致长距离经常性交通，这为整体的可达性带来压力。新 生区域完全需要依赖外部来满足基本的需求。它们不但功能单一、分化社会阶层、没有生 气，而且，无一例外地完全依赖私家车。 Urban expansion that exercises pressure on the accessibility of the city by generating an excess of frequent trips of significant length due to internal inadequacies. Commonly these are newly developed areas wholly dependent on other areas for their own basic needs. They are monofunctional, socially stratified, lack vitality, and, overwhelmingly, are car-dependent.

过程蔓生 TRANSSPRAWL*

城市的任何增加部分都可能呈现蔓生的特点，但它们可能仅仅是城市升级的中间过程。大型城市开发在 最初阶段会显得粗糙且功能不足，而密度和本地商业精神的形成将很快唤醒城市的生机。那些规划外缺乏 基础设施的自发式居住地也能被承认、吸收成健康的城市组织。过程蔓生试图承认那些有成熟潜能的城市 扩张。 Additions to the city may exhibit sprawl characteristics but serve as a necessary phase within the transition to a larger city. Big official developments may initially appear brutal and under-serviced, but density and local entrepreneurialism may quickly supply the necessary life. Equally informal settlements lacking in basic infrastructure can be recognized and absorbed to become healthy tissue. Transsprawl*

acknowledges the potential maturing urban expansion.

基础设施蔓生 INFRASPRAWL*

建筑与基础设施的失衡导致了基础设施的蔓生。一方面，基础设施冗余打 乱了城市空间，另一方面，这些基础设施所占据的空间比能处理的交通更 多。城市总是越来越大，而有效组织的增加却不成比例 － 这好比要追求建 筑的高度，增加电梯可达楼层就意味着更大的电梯竖井要牺牲部分楼体空 间。基础设施蔓生旨在说明城市的发展轨迹与基础设施网之间类似的优化关 系。 Imbalance between architecture and infrastructure results in infrasprawl*. THIS can be defined as, on one hand, disruptions of spatial patterns created by excess infrastructure, and on the other, infrastructure that consumes more space than it can serve or generates more traffic than it can process.

This commercial competition is good if it gets city administrations to run tighter ships internally, but has also led to a bubble of speculative development and wasteful duplication. China shows that hinterlands around “growth pole” cities do benefit from incomes spent and multiplied in regional economies34 (and factories plus consumers move to the suburbs and then the urban fringe, expanding a peri-urban area into what was previously rural hinterland35) the benefits seem to fade two or three hours from the pole itself. With current transportation infrastructure, this is sometimes as little as 120km away.

合作： 中国市场的竞争已然白热化。各省间为获 得支持而竞争，城市 间为突出表现而竞 争，市区间为吸引居民而竞争。城市与农 村为土地而竞争。在十一五计划中，城市 集群――这一合作的空间前提——当之无 愧地被指定为“主要的城市化模式”。 COLLABORATION： The Chinese market is already fiercely competitive. Provinces compete for support, cities compete for prominence, neighborhoods compete for residents. City and countryside compete for space. In the 11th Five Year Plan, urban clustering, the spatial precondition for collaboration, is rightfully designated as the ‘principal mode of urbanization’.

竞争: 然而城市集群的繁荣是以不同发展阶段的层级差 异为基础――当商品生产从农村向上流入城市， 财富也缓缓下流。这些差异是最基本的，应让真 正的竞争培育它。只有完全自由的自由市场才能 使集群城市化多元发展、流畅高效。 COMPETITION: Yet urban clusters thrive on the hierarchies between nodes at different stages of development - as production of goods flows up from villages to the metropolis, money trickles down. These differences are rudimentary and should be nurtured by genuine competition. Only a Free free market can diversify and streamline cluster based urbanization.

疏散： 城市史无前例地拥挤，工业、基础设施、 服务和住房等用地量暴增，解决方法惟有 把居民外迁而将公园和高楼迁入：现代主 义者们关于空气、阳光和副中心的美梦才 能成真。事实上，在中国城市化的有机环 境中，似乎只有疏散手段才能对新兴城市 的形态产生作用。

DISPERSED： Historically compact, the exploding landuse of industry, infra-structure, services and housing can only be facilitated by moving people out of the city, parks and plazas in: The Modernists’ dream of air, light, and subcenters. In fact, within the organic context of Chinese urbanization, only dispersion as a tool seemed to have had any serious measure of affect on emerging urban patterns.

中国城市化矩阵

SUPER SATELLITES

Chinese Urbanization Matrix 很奇怪，城市规划的同一模型往往既反映现实又决 定未来。这一特性的局限在中国的城市化过程中尤其明 显。华而不实的城市是无烦恼开发的终极模式。在城市 化没有任何处女地可供侵占时，该模式促成的是与市场 需求正相反的向侧面生长，我们需要的却是向内和向上 的生长。 这一矩阵结合了中国常规和理想的生长模式，将城 市化进程从中心地带剥离出去。

华而不实的城市

Oddly enough in urban planning the same models are often both descriptive and prescriptive. The limitations this professional idiosyncrasy reveals is particularly pertinent when applied to Chinese urbanization. Slick City models are the final formula for hassle-free development. With hardly any virgin land left to urbanize they lay bare the contradictions of what the market wants; growing side ways, when what is needed is growing inwards and upwards. This matrix organizes China's common and ideal growth models set against the distance of urbanization from the center.

Slick Cities

When is a city a city? Definitions, usually expressed in terms of population, continue to fall short, the world over. Expressing the city's dynamic nature, cannot be achieved with set population numbers, nor can the Chinese formula of computing population with economic output, warrant a clear definition. To understand the city we must conceptualize, the critical amalgamation of the city’s essential, often intangible ingredients.

第五步 STEP 5

扩旧城： 规划新的卫星城是几乎不可能实现的平 衡。如果离旧城太远，则会失掉互惠效 应，前往市中心的每日通勤变得不可行。 离旧城太近，则卫星城会被城郊吞噬。市 区地租曲线能在城市扩张时天然地维持城 市密度。城市缓慢生长为超级城市。

建新城： 在白板上建新城的诱惑是巨大的。理论上说，一气 呵成的新城将远离旧城那些日积月累的矛盾与逐渐 升级的凌乱。然而城市是动态的体系，变化永不停 息。独排众议、迷恋全新的中国必须证明它可以设 计出自然地、系统化演进的新城。卫星城必须成为 超级卫星城。

EXPANSION： Planning a new satellite is an impossible balancing act. Positioned too far from the city mutual benefits are lost, daily commutes to the center become unfeasible. Positioned too close the satellite will be swallowed up by suburbia. Urban expansion is the natural process to maintain densities along the urban rent-gradient. Cities slowly grow into Super Cities.

NEW CITY： Yet new cities built on a clean slate are highly seductive. In theory, constructed at once a city could be free from all the accumulated problems and clutter slowly evolving urban landscapes struggle with. But cities are very dynamic systems, incessantly changing from conception. Against the odds, China in love with the new, must prove it can design a New City that can evolve naturally and systematically. The Satellite must become a Super Satellites.

1. 一个发展中的模式

新城发展策略已经在“北京市城市总体规划20042020”中被采用。早在奥运会之前新城的规划和设计就已 经开始进行。北京市政府进一步策划要紧接奥运会之后开展 大规模的新城建设，刺激后奥运北京城市经济。实际上，在 整个中国有超过一百个新城正在或者即将建设。毋庸置疑， 新城政策落实的好坏将对中国的社会，经济甚至政治层面有 极大的影响。然而较长时间以来，这种自上而下的规划概念 一直被质疑较难实施，即使是乌托邦城市也是如此。理论和 实践之间的矛盾分离表现在世界上大多数已建成实例上。我 们不禁要问这样一个严肃的问题：我们对这个规划模型在中 国背景下实施的可靠性有怎样的把握？

2. 私人的卫星城

饼干模型

Cookies Modeo

郊区新城最早以一种自组织的形式出现，由先锋的社 会改革者如十九世纪的R.Owen 和F.Fourier倡导。这是他 们作为工业家为自己工厂雇员利益着想的个人付出。然而 这种个人的尝试逐渐成为一种流行的城市模型的样板。当 它演变为‘花园城市’-由二十世纪初期规划理论家大师 E.Howard提出- 这种模式的性质就演化为半公共半私人。

为各具特色的副中心和卫星城。看似非常主动的新城 模式实际上是受北京已有的有机模式的支配而形成。

5. 政府-市场混合物

我们很容易想象这种早期的尝试给了后来的城市 规划师和决策者很大的启迪：如果个人努力可以成就 如此，以一个城市政府更强的经济实力和管理权力自 然可以使这种城市模型的实施过程更简单。这个推理 是激发了二十世纪五六十年代全世界大规划新城建设 的部分原因。西欧国家将新城建设融入战后重建计划 中，巴西和中国同样如此。自1958年北京计划建设 40个新城来缓解中心城的压力以及分散工业布局。尽 管取得了局部的成功，总体来讲大部分新城承受了其 过分野心的苦果：强迫民意屈从。

出现在法国和英国新城的办公空间剩余和公共设 施空闲等问题也在中国新城发生。以上海为例，12个 新城的建设开始于同一时期-20世纪90年代末。几乎 每个新城都利用建设郊区风格的别墅住宅作为吸引人 口的策略。这种自由市场的刺激在中国社会主义市场 混合条件下导致了过饱和及单极蔓延。这也代表了在 粗犷快速的城市化背景下市场驱使无意识发展的必然 结果。 目前已经到了要找回新城自组织的特性的时候。 也就是说大规模的城市功能和人口的分散及再聚合应 该根据市场规则进行而非依赖人为的操纵。目前政府 部门积极促进城市化进程，扮演市场角色，然而不服 从市场内在逻辑的条件限制。传统的公-私角色划分已 经丧失，导致了本质上没有条理的城市发展。

4. 后规划

6. 动态增长

如此一来，新城的本质彻底地变成了自上而下， 古板和脱离市场的。然而因为政治背景不同，中国新 城比起相对应的西方案例可以做到让工作和生活距离 更近，保持的时间更久。实际上，疏散北京旧城人口 政策仍然是北京2004-2020总体规划的核心策略 – 由现在旧城的一百四十万人减少到八十万。更重要的 是，尽管40个卫星城中只有3个到达成熟期，同样的 推理已巧妙的演变成2020年远景规划的核心基础 – 多中心模型。北京要将业已形成的自然分散布局通过 一个看上去有意而为的规划样式翻新，将它们发展成

所以什么才应该是公共部门的动力？对公共交 通，道路和设施的优先开发是市政府不能也不该承担 的负担。中国城市的不平衡现象- 表现在一方面繁忙城 市没有适当的道路连接；另一方面建设完备的新城没 有人使用- 这种情况需要修复。在不同的发展阶段新城 可以开发利用不同的竞争优势吸引不同的目标人群。 以荷兰新城奥米尔为例，大部分早期居住者认为优异 的住房条件是最重要的吸引点，社会文化生活可以主 要依赖母城阿姆斯特丹。随着新城的发展扩大社会层 面的发展也要逐步配合，奥米尔随后开发了一个功能

混合风格独特的新城市中心，取得了很大的成功。这个例子 说明新城的社会基础要逐步建立，直到它到达了 ‘临界大 众’（critical mass）的水平，也就是指可以维持新城正常 社会文化生活相对独立性的最低人口数量。 其次，因为新城发展步骤的准确时间的不可预测性， 总体规划应该遵循‘动态增长’和‘按需供应’的原则。这 意味着规划方案要具有灵活，易于修改更新，适于变化的特 点。后奥运建设新城的人为压力上升，这个议题尤其应该成 为我们主要的关注点。这就涉及到一些关系到多中心结构 本质的有关新城的量和质的实际问题，比如与母城的最优距 离，最优人口数量，用地结构和分区法规等。

7. 有机的真实情况

对于第一个问题，挑战存在于如何保护自然区域防止 城市用地的连绵。然而这是否是一个可操作的概念？我们 可以从与‘复杂系统’(complex system) 理论紧密结合的 ‘自组织’(self-organization) 理论来理解这个问题。复杂 系统理论广泛适用于多种学科，比如经济，物理，生物，意 识学，人工只能，社会学和进化论等。其质化的定义包括： ‘复杂性位于秩序和混乱之间’，‘二个或以上的不同元素 以不能分离的方式互相关联’(Francis Heylighen)等。复杂 系统的每个组成部分互相作用影响，内部不断地进行动态的 自组织以适应外部环境和条件变化。 联系到城市现象，该理论表明城市的每个个体都是天 生的规划师，他/她/它的决定是与其他个体互相作用影响的 结果；每步城市发展都是自组织的过程，总会自然地试图把 自身的结构与外部环境衔接。简单的说，城市新区希望与已 存在的城市结构承接以利用其提供的有利条件。从这 个意义讲，把新城从现有城市分离很大程度上是对自组织原 则的否定，因为元素之间的互相作用，连续性和依靠性被人 为截断。

然而不是所有的有机增长都是理想的；同样，并不是 所有自组织行为都是正确的。我们需要维护‘集体利益’。 自组织的重要商标性特点之一是‘试验-失误’（trial-anderror），这也是二十世纪九十年代亚洲四小龙发展的特色。 高密度，让人羡慕的弹性，他们的例子也揭示了这种城市发 展模式在集体和个人层面上的短处，和本该是好的规划框架 可以避免的一些错误。有意思的是，尽管当代中国自上而下 的规划看似强势，城市市场的发展却经常是缺乏拘束和混乱 的。与西欧国家荷兰德国相比，中国的城市规划还没有成为 有效调节市场自组织的工具。北京的明显案例包括规划的 ‘绿化带’的被侵蚀和长安街西端‘金融街’的屹立。必须 承认规划控制和市场力量的关系本身还处在原始的‘试验-失 误’过程中。需要规划的和应该放手的；固定的和灵活的之 间的平衡关系还有待探索。在发展中的中国城市，自上而下 的规划机构和各式的市场参与者均忙于自组织，而没有一个 交流的框架和共同的为公共利益合作的目标。两难的情况仍 经常存在- 很多规则仍很模糊，自相矛盾，或可屈从篡改；而 个体参与者的合理建议和要求很难与闭门造车做出来的总体 规划对抗或融合。很明显中国需要规划系统的彻底变革。

9. [2CP]

一个核心的变化应该是改善公共合作（Public Private Partnership）。 这个概念本身已被熟识，但即使是在西方 发达国家，具体有效的方法论尚待研究和完善。然而它对中 国城市来说有非同小可的意义，因为它切合我国正在进行的 社会和政治改革-要求政府管理有更强的透明性和民主性。 很明显，公共合作与简单的 将‘自下而上’和‘自上而下’ 并列不同，它强调两项的有效交流和结合。它一方面肯定政 府部门作为协调者的积极作用；同时要求给广大城市开发 者，参与者和利益集团更多的追求个人利益的自组织行为的 自由。公共合作这个概念可以进一步理解为‘交流性的规 划’和‘合作性的规划’（communicative planning and collaborative planning, 2CP）。

Intentionally and unintentionally Beijing is moving away from the monocentric city model. 10. 交谈性的城市

40

如何进行有效果和讲效率的交流需要依靠规划师和城 市决策者手中的空间和管理工具的质量。以新城为例，替 代目前项目参与者之间的等级递推关系，我们需要一个开 放的过程，鼓励在不同开发阶段多种参与者的互相交流。 我们可以根据上述原则为新城的总体规划设计一个新的规 划和决策流程结构 （见图表）。目前中国的规划互动在 进步但非常有限而且不能发挥本质作用。方案被动地或不 情愿地展示在杂志上或者网络上，却没有真正接收或者根 据公众反馈意见改进方案的意图。有成果的交流实际上要 求规划师具备新的技能。他们应该更积极乐于地向其他人 解释方案设计，包括外行人。这意味者制定策略和计划的 人应该是好的听众，做好协商者的角色。尤其在新城开发 中，积极的交流互动可以进一步促进城市的推广，吸引更 多的私人投资者，激发新居民的归属感。

11. 从静态形象到灵活概念

同时，空间规划图将成为对话的基础资料。总体而 言，图纸应变得更有交流性，易于理解，便于更新，可以 灵活适应变化的需要。替代包罗万象的总体规划，我们需 要采用一个灵活的模式或称战略规划模式。战略规划意味 着只涵盖最主要的策略和原则，主要案址，进度计划，主 要开发的类型等信息。它的图纸特色是更加具有指示性和 表现性，而不是细节的和过于设计的。有很多方式可以帮

助促进图纸和方案的灵活性，比如只设计城市的固定框架 （通常是基础设施和公共设施）把其它部分划分为小规模 的地块作为给众多开发者和参与者的自行提议和商讨的机 会；可以设计出尽可能多的可选方案供城市使用者和开发 者讨论；或设计一组城市拓扑类型，然后由参与者商谈互 动组合完成一副城市规划拼图；还可以将分区规划与可视 性强的城市设计结合等。这些建议的概念都需要在中国城 市的背景条件下付诸实践，以求得最适用有效的方法。

12. 中医疗法

我们可以得出这样的结论-规划仍然是一个调节市场 失误的必要工具,但是其游戏规则需要改进。讽刺的是我 们建议治疗中国城市的手段应该从目前的西方医学式变更 回祖国中医式。这意味着减少对像奥运工程这样的粗犷单 脑筋的，自上而下盛气凌人的城市项目的依赖，而是采取 广泛的及时的自我诊断和量体裁衣的个性化的中医调理治 疗方式解决城市问题和指导未来发展。公共参与就是我们 开的中医药方之一。具体来讲，北京的‘大饼’需要在 大北京地区甚至是京沪地区用真正的新城市中心来互相制 衡。然而这些新中心的形成不能是唐突的一蹴而就的，而 应是通过不断的自我检查调整，对外部条件变化的不断适 应更新，和内部元素的互相协作，最终形成一个动态的自 组织的稳定模式。

41 13. 超级卫星城

目前在北京较成功的新城案例是通州和亦庄， 它们与中心城的中心间离为15到20公里，其中边 缘间的保护性开放空间只有不到5公里，而且已经 受到了城市蔓延的困扰。不过，如果我们认可新城 的主要原则是必要的也是可行的，那么执行中的技 术问题是可以通过我们建议的‘中医’疗法逐步解 决的。新城是目前中国城市化进程中最流行的组成 元素，但也需要最小心和复杂的市场刺激和管理规 则之间的平衡才能成功。建设新城的过程同时还要 兼顾中国总体经济结构方面面临的挑战：要找回自 组织原则的有利之处，同时不能丢失对公共利益的 协调。新城的规划实践实际是对中国规划文化的根 本模式的挑战。新城模式自身也需要在多个方面做 彻底的探索创新，例如相对位置，空间构成，社会 组成，分期规划等问题。这意味着既然中国选择了 新城作为规划手段缓解城市问题，那么我们就必须 高质量地设计和建设‘超级卫星城’。

在中国，高密度与生俱 来。这为缓慢进化才能实 现的城市目标带来了新希 望。面对市场化无序开发 的速度，动态城市(DD) 的概念是长期规划应遵循 的逻辑。

动态密度 Dynamic Density (DD) 这一理论旨在勾勒城市密度和其发展轨迹的优化关系、 阐明城市的密度本该与城市同步增长的固有规律。城市 密度的动态性质需要灵活的规划方案。动态密度的应用 尤其适合快速变化的环境。动态密度的方法论首先是记 录城市扩张／收缩的工具，也能有效评估增长部分的功 能（其中最重要的是可达性），并在城市整体目标的框 架下催生市场化的引导政策。 A theory which outlines an optimum relationship between density of a city and its built footprint, and proposes that as a city grows its density should increase proportionally. Thus density is dynamic and requires flexible planning solutions. Applications of DD are especially well suited to fast changing contexts. The dynamic density methodology operates first as a tool to map the processes of expansion and contraction, and then to assess the quality (most notably accessibility) of new growth and suggest market-oriented guidance measures within a conceptual framework for overarching city goals.

不管你在北京的哪里,城市都是有盲点的 - 总有一些地 方不能轻而易举地到达.我们不能不承认,对于居民的日 常生活来说,北京的大部分地方都是够不着的. From any position Beijing casts a pattern of blind spots — places too inaccessible to treat as regular destinations. One has to conclude that in daily life much of the city is out of reach.

如果能梦见最理想的城市是什么就 好了，如果能摸索出一步到位的完美城市发展模式就好了。在 现实中，我们却无法逃脱规划总是落后于城市升级、扩张、增长以及蚕食的挣 扎。 中国的城市设计要做的就是与时俱进。事实上，中国发展的速度让所有的 规划与设计都立刻过时，北京就是一个明证。北京证明：在以市场为导向的语 境中，用规划引导城市的发展方向其实相当困难。精心设计的街区、邻里、道 路、公园等所谓理想组合不过是大而不当的简单堆砌。 从零规划新城则更为困难。纵观历史，诸多增长爆炸期的国家都在寻找 完美的城市发展模式。从早期的静态规划，到后来的点轴增长模型都是尝试的 结果。在当代中国，“副中心”、“卫星城”、“新城”等都是相当有人气的 模式，但在世界其他地方，新城规划却不无失败的案例。城市的成功发展，城 市环境的改善与城市的自我发展能力是息息相关的。无论如何，现代城市是个 自我管理的、敏感的供需系统，所有部分都按比例整合在一起。如果我们铲除 一个街区，一个更大的街区会出现；切断一条道路，替代的道路将出现；在某 块土地上投资，当地的房租会上涨。作为有机体，城市是不可以被规划或设计 的；即便可以，这样的规划或设计也并不明智。对于一个打算在二十年内重新 规划全部城市空间的国家来说，这一论断无疑是一剂苦药。

解剖城市

我们史无前例地近距离观察城市， 探索、观察、绘图、分析它的解剖图，然后逐条街道、逐 个街区地进行设计。即便如此也很难兼顾细节并准确预测结果。但显而 易见的是，即便是解决城市交通拥堵这类问题，也不能脱离整个城市系 统的运行来单独考虑。城市的各部分是紧密相连的。比如城市网格的大 小与居住形式是紧密联系的，它们还会影响到城市的居住密度、交通的 可达性以及居住与工作空间的分布等等。上世纪90年代关于城市的争论 已告一段落，我们也开始向不可驯服的城市妥协。然而问题依然存在： 究竟如何结构性地改进这变幻莫测的城市？ 改造现有的城市组织，或在城市边界外开发新城需要不同的技术手 段。应该有一个框架从一开始就预知、协调它们的工作进展。然而这种 逻辑对于中国的城市并不适用，中国的城市转变是在强制规划的框架下 发生的，这些强制规划往往不是脱离实际的宏观规划就是在旧城旁建设 新城。在北京，这两种规划模式就同时存在着。一股强力让北京城的解 剖图发生了本质性改变——街道被拓宽，公寓和写字楼生硬地被嵌入， 野蛮拼凑的城市结构取代了传统的秩序与优雅。城市的所有成分都在往 “大”里发展，包括边界。这些不仅改变了北京的城市肌理，也让城市 的功能明显异化：穿越马路的行人不能不望“街”兴叹。把市中心割裂 成孤岛社区的市内马路，以及基础设施蔓生（infrasprawl*）的无限增 长让这一切雪上加霜。 现代的北京已经成了巨型街道、大型建筑以及形象工程的代名词， 但却与生活着一千八百万居民的地方无关。种种现实并没有玷污北京的 传奇色彩。城市官方形象的设计带来了惊人的效果，吸引了外国人前来 旅游或投资，并让中产阶级开先河地成为私房拥有者。 >下转4页，继续“解剖城市”

2. 北京的通勤大军 到2020年，基础设施网络的扩展应该已经达到了令人惊讶的程度。为赶 上私车通勤人数的上升，道路表面也不断地拓宽。按照现有的私车增长速度 （每天1500辆），北京市应该每天增加10公里长的三车道公路。与此同时， 轨道交通也应突飞猛进，让北京的交通变成由巨型公路网络与长里程轨道交 通相结合的混合体。 公路和轨道交通的宏伟改造计划同时在进行，一个由中央政府规划，另 一个则相对灵活，它们会让北京翻天覆地。但这些变化能解决日益严重的粗糙 化与“北京大爆炸”日益碎片化的问题么？这其中的原因何在呢？或简言之， 我们该怎样去评价现代的大都市呢?

症状

大家都知道，在北京的日常生活中，城市的大部分地区都很难够得着。无 论交通系统多么复杂，衡量其效率的指标都可以简化为交通系统的可达性，即 交通连接出发地与目的地之间的效率。城市系统的可达性，概括的说，取决于 通勤时间的长短和通勤线路的长度。虽然还处于婴儿期，交通拥堵问题却已是 北京最严重的城市问题了，紧随其后的是空气污染。但如果我们审视北京最新 的变化以及那些貌似很有激情的设计，我们就会看到，北京的堵不过是众多城 市问题的症状之一而已。我们有必要探究交通拥堵的根本原因：这个城市与日 俱增的不可到达性。 北京著名的环路，从二环到六环的总占地面积比紫禁城还大（详见图 例）。简单地增加道路面积并不能缓解交通拥堵或增加可达性。北京的道路覆 盖率并不及西方的平均水平，私家车的人均拥有量也不及。然而学者预测，公

The combined surface of Beijing's ring roads covers an area substantially larger than the entire downtown.

共汽车仍将是未来的主要交通方式。在数十年内， 80%的出行仍将依赖公共 汽车。这一预测相当可信，因为越来越多的居住区在轨道交通还未到达的地方 拔地而起，而大量的流动人口也将聚集在城市的边缘地带。 北京的主干道完全是为技术治国与政治目标而设计——为了提高道路的 车流容积、保持城市的威望。但这并不是公共空间。官方的公共空间倒非常像 模像样，整齐的围墙、严密的监视系统以及庞大的公园式景观。然而容易产生 碰撞与摩擦的“小”空间才是城市存在的核心。北京的这种“小”却消失了， 只剩下大型的封装式居住区和巨型基础设施的城市网格。而底层社会人群只能 徘徊和思考在这些大型公共设施之间的缝隙。

龙轨

我们还能让北京城重新紧凑起来吗？在保存内城的宽马路的条件下，要 把北京带回到可以舒适步行的过去是不可想象的。无论将来对城市增长模式的 探索可以如何精确，“分割”城市的发展之路，例如在郊区建新城等手段，将 毫无疑问地恶化整个城市的通勤。此外就只剩下基础设施这一可以改造城市的 唯一工具了。我们构思了一个利用北京环路地面的精确嵌入式交通模型。当 然，它很“大”。如果这让你有点意外的话，你更应该仔细读下去。中国并不 缺少“大”的思路，也不缺少长期规划。但是和我们的出发点不同的是，中国 对“大”项目的偏爱产生了拙劣的大型建筑和突兀的大型公共设施，它的长期 战略仍然只是政治修辞。我们恳请赋予城市更多细节的、多样化的、规模较小 的建设项目，让它们来重新定义城市空间，复兴公共的互动空间。 我们研发了一个将步行速度提升到列车速度的混合交通系统――龙轨。 这个系统结合了行人传送带和磁悬浮技术。在城市的环路上，高速运转的行人 传送带在首尾相连的玻璃管道内不停运转，通勤者可以在环线的任何一点自由 上下车，没有车站、不需等待。这个玻璃罩下的快速路就坐落在北京三环和四 环上，零售商场、顶部公园和扶梯则向两侧延伸、环抱城市风光。龙轨让高速 公路变回人行道，它利用城市的无人区，将社区再次连接。这无疑是一次弥补 城市裂缝、连接和多样化城市网格和急剧收缩城市膨胀的大胆尝试。 公共汽车、人口在城市中心的移动是交通堵塞的主要原因，而龙轨的功 能则是吸收在市中心工作却居住在四环外的大量人口。龙轨的存在让四环上的 公交车不再必要。再补以通往市中心的交通，行人能被更快地输送到四环沿线 的任何地方。龙轨每隔3分钟减速一次，减速时64公里长的磁轨上的门同时开 启，人们被输送至相同速度的本地传送带，他们还可以选择通过电梯登上屋顶 公园玩耍或下到商业街购物，北京的四环将因为龙轨的存在而魅力四射。

枢纽就是心脏

基础设施的确是改造现代大都市的有效方法，然而一个首都城市将如何 接纳未来20年间新增的500到1000万人口呢？如果任何城市扩张都伴随着交 通恶化，我们将怎样控制城市日益膨胀的规模和抑制它嚣张的增长欲望呢？ 北京在2020年前的向外扩张不需要超过目前的28米，就足以为新增人口 提供充足的驻留空间了。因为目前北京有6000公里的城市边界线，只要向外 扩张一点点就够了。但我们可以假设，北京和其他城市一样也有自己的增长趋 势，政府政策与投资活动刺激了它的生长。根据现有的规划和政策，到2030 年，北京和天津之间广袤的农村地区就会被新生的城市所填满。 我认为抑制北京扩张的最好办法就是沿龙轨激活它的内向型增长，从而 限制其外向型的扩张。龙轨可以通过四环沿线的增长实现这一目标。如此一 来，三环到五环之间的人口密度将会增加，向四环外搬迁的人将会被吸引回 来，而住在历史文化中心的人也不必再迁出。相反，应该迁至四环外的倒是大 量通勤的发源地——四百多座熙熙攘攘的政府大楼和研究机构。让城市功能搬 出中心地带是限制高峰拥堵的最好办法。这样一来，城市的心脏不再是拥堵不 堪的市中心，而是四环沿线，这个心脏的主动脉就是龙轨。北京的大饼变成了 高效能的面包圈。 搬迁行政中心的提法并不新鲜。但现在时机才成熟。四环已经拥有诸多 住宅小区、中关村和CBD等大发展地带。龙轨能将这些分散的组团串起来。 再加上交通枢纽和零售商业圈，每天有数百万的通勤人士在其间穿梭往来。顶 层的公园让北京曾经在此规划的绿色生态带变成现实。搬迁的政府机关、博物 馆、学校、科研机构等新建筑将完善该网络的关联性，临界状态要求创造一个 真正多样化的首都中心：环形中心。 想象一下，穿过环形中心，你可以便捷到达城市的任何地方，无所限 制、无所障碍。徘徊于商店和酒吧，流连于宾馆大堂，穿梭于银行、办公楼之 间……人们总是在安全舒适的室内，自由而惬意。这是一个将公共步行交通与 楼房相连的高效步行王国。这在中国并非创举，香港已经有了一条很漂亮的步 行传送通道。但在环形中心的核心设置龙轨，这倒是全新的理念，并且与北京 的现实非常契合。龙轨的嵌入像双搭桥手术外加新鲜肺叶移植，从此北京将拥 有活力无比的心脏！

第六步 STEP 6

Unemployment and higher transport costs are major problems confronting China’s future. With deepening industrial restructuring, there are now over 275,000 registered unemployed citizens in Shanghai. At the same time, with continued urban expansion, more and more lower-income households face increasing financial pressures of commuting. Expansion of the urban bus networks, rather than only the more expensive underground metro system, can help resolve these challenges. Buses are an integral part of any sustainable transportation system that is affordable for all.

什么？！再来一次大跃进？ What?! Another Leap Forward?

博客上弥漫着中国爆发绿色革命的兴奋。一夜之间而且不约 而同，大家都半开玩笑地称之为绿色大跃进。人们有理由相信， 飞速发展的中国能够再往前迈一大步，将发展道路与实现可持续 发展的全球理想统一。这一理论却与现实相悖。无论是大步向前 的抱负还是中国的宏大目标都忽略了一个重要事实：中国的建设 已完成过半。这一简单的事实让所有把中国当成空白页、试图实 践全新的、还未知的可持续发展计划的尝试不合时宜。

开发商和绿色追梦人对中国有相同的抱负：为年轻的市场提 供最新的潮流。他们的主张都不是新经济前瞻性的指南，而是满 足目前市场需求的尝试。和世界其它地方一样，中国急需一个系 统性的开发模式，特别是一个在不断演进、弹性的过程中实现绿 色发展主张的模式。而只有承认中国的建设已完成过半，才能调 整方向，创造应对未来的解决方案。目前的务实是整体主义方法 论的障碍，也阻碍了向前概念化的一大步。中国的现实证明了重 新思考可持续发展是十分必要的。其复杂性从中国规划者面临的 重重矛盾可见一斑。 哪怕建筑单体的设计如何精良且可持续发展，其集合仍是功 能低下且不可持续发展的城市。 类似中国的新兴经济崇拜消费主义的，且没有任何改变的心 思，这让我们不得不放弃试图减少消费的做法来催生‘绿色消 费’与‘绿色消费者’的任何努力。西方的城郊是严重依赖能源 消耗的城市化的对象。中国的郊区却为紧凑地容纳大规模迁徙带 来了希望，为城市化远离小规模、效率低下的居民点和网络有可 能实现。

Post-Olympic Urban Approach: A very modern assumption of our culture states that faster is always better. But in the race to keep up, everything suffers – our work, diet, health and our relationships. Slow living is fundamental to the success of the new city especially in the context of China’s current culture of speed; it will establish a unique character and lifestyle, that will sett Guangming Smartcity apart. Guangming Smart-city (7.97km2)is arranged into human-scale clusters of housing and farming suburbs in the form of towers and craters. The forms are conceived as an augmentation of the existing topography. The Suburb Towers and Craters are intended to combat urban sprawl and advocate compact land use patterns that are walkable and bicycle-friendly. Each tower or crater is self-sufficient with its own high street, Suburb Square and individual character.

在中国似乎有一种常识——如果开发商都按规矩办事、如果建筑设 计得不是那么漫不经心，我们的城市会更好。然而严峻的现实不得不让 设计师重新思考城市规划的可持续发展性。中国城市的高密度与惊人 的发展速度无法照搬西方的城市规划，这毋庸置疑。重要的是，我们 需要解决中国规划制度的内在矛盾。那些旨在捍卫城市基本标准的制 度，事实上却阻碍了城市的可持续发展性；城市的可持续发展性和其 中的公园数量、太阳能光伏板面积乃至取得了LEED证书的楼宇面积 关系并不大，而城市鼓励自觉地环保使用的能力才是定义其可持续 发展性的主要标准。 我们在作塘沽绿色CBD规划的过程中，发现了现有规划框架 的严重障碍。其中最明显的是现行的楼间距标准是无益的，这让 城市组织流于分散。这让街道景观变得过分开阔，公共空间之 间的联系难以建立；这让城市景观距离为行人服务的宗旨越来 越远，打破这一规划制度极为迫切。当你的客户就是政府本身 时，这一目标也不是不可完成的任务。 其次是引入前卫的分步开发机制。这是与客户的交流回 合中有突破性的一刻——让客户意识到市场效应与可持续发 展性其实是紧密结合的。大型的综合性项目通常是统一设计 然后一气呵成。而在这经济的动荡时期，规划一个既适应 快速发展又适应突如其来的放缓的开发机制尤其有价值。 这让大型的生态规划框架的投资更为自由，比如分水岭 和住宅自然保护带。自然生态系统的灵活亦为城市的商 业注入生机。 总体规划的第一步通常是对周围生态环境的测 绘，而地点周围只有工业和尘烟笼罩的繁荣港口；要 保留现存的交通联系亦不可能，这有志成为中国第一 个绿色CBD的地方，已被推土机平整为瓦砾铺就的 灰色地毯。我们决定重新引入水与植被的自然网络 概念，从暴雨倾泄以及洪水的预警系统开始。除了 引入基本的绿色技术和混合建筑体外，我们不鼓 励轿车的使用。由此试图创建一个舒适的、立体 的社区，它的生长将促成低高度、高密度的多层 次行人网络和居住带。 There is a sense in China that, if only developers would abide by the rules, if only buildings would not be so haphazard, things would be better. However, China actually forces designers to rethink sustainability in planning from scratch.

Invariably, density and development speed make any western approach redundant. More importantly, we need to address contradictions inherent to the Chinese planning system. Rules aimed at safeguarding basic urban qualities in new plans in effect prevent real sustainability from ever occurring; sustainability not based on the number of parks, solar panels or even certified buildings of an area, but defined by its intrinsic ability to encourage a green use. Our research for the design of the Tanggu Green CBD revealed severe obstacles embedded in the regulatory framework. Most notably the planning codes keep the spaces between the buildings unnecessarily wide. Not unlike the problems at the regional scale, the city environment is forcefully dispersed. This leaves the streetscape uncomfortably open, while connections between different parts of the public space are hard to forge; a far cry from an pedestrian orientated landscape. Breaking the rules becomes imperative. And with the government as a client, this is actually feasible. A second step was the introduction of progressive phaseability. An important moment in what can only be described as a steep mutual learning curve, was the notion that marketability and sustainability are closely aligned. Large aggregate projects are conceived and built at once. Designing a flexible backbone that can facilitate both fast or unforeseen slow growth, suddenly becomes valuable in these tumultuous times. Remarkably larger ecological planning frameworks, such as watershed and natural habitat protection, offer a comprehensive approach that also allow investment freedom. The flexibility of natural systems, grants the city a vitality in a commercial sense.

The Shenzhen CBD Huanggang Area Redevelopment Project involves an extensive research and design process that encompasses 50 hectares of the central business area of Shenzhen and more specifically 23 hectares of land presently owned and managed by the Huanggang Village Collective. The challenge is to achieve a responsible and sustainable urban development planning while meeting the various conflicting demands of the involved agencies, including the Mayor’s office, the Shenzhen Exhibition Center, and the Huanggang Village Development Corporation. Based on tremendous social, cultural, and economic demands along with complex spatial, Infrastructural, and programmatic needs of the project, seven main concepts were formed to guide the development of the proposal and to ensure a correspondence and correlation of each of the demands and requirements of the involved issues. Specifically for the redevelopment plan of the Huanggang Urban Village, the main goal is to achieve a long-term, socially and economically sustainable plan for the self-development and operation of the Village Collective’s corporation. In addition to preserving the Village’s ceremonial structures and spaces, such as the Ancestral Residence, Meeting Hall, and associated gardens, the proposal retains the existing street network and building organization of the village site. Creatively extending the central axis of the CBD by forming a low-rise highdensity central zone, this area along with the preserved collective public areas forms a sharp spatial contrast to the adjacent potential high-rise development zones. The spatial arrangement and layout of all development allow for maximum freedom in mixed programs and flexible zoning ranging from commercial to residential - by pre-testing the sites for code regulations and sun-light exposure. The implementation process is designed with five sequential stages that each holds a demolition and construction balance for sustainable economic and operational management. Each developmental stage is envisioned as a comprehensive step toward forming equilibrium of flexible public housing, residence housing exchange, and commercial space allocations. The entire planned process forms an interactive and counterbalancing redevelopment system.

住房政策：新房帮旧房

A Harmonious Society B New Housing Policy: Showers for neighbours 方案/王帷泽+王帷新

Project/Richard Wei-Tse WANG+Stephen Wei-Hsin WANG 一个和谐社会中，老建筑和新建筑之间的关系因该有所改变。虽然已经过二十 多年的迅速城市改造，上海今天仍有大约一千万平米的旧式里弄房子。这些旧 里在城市里是廉价住房的一个重要来源， 但目前估计旧里中还有大约九十万 民居民仍然没有卫生设施例如浴室或厕所。 如要将廉价住房在现地保留，一 种新的解决方法是必要的。从`邻居互助的精神’为起点，新的建筑有很大的 浅力可帮助老房子。如在旧的住宅附近要求新的开发项目提供旧房没有的卫 生设施， 这样现代化的公共浴室和厕所可被大量普及化，进一步确保条件差 的邻居都可享受到都市发展的成果。 这样简单的变动，可进一步迈向一个 有包容性和经济效益的住房系统。 In a harmonious society, the relationship between old buildings and new buildings could change. After more than 20 years of rampant urban renewal, Shanghai today still has approximately 10 million m² of old lilong houses. Old houses are a vital source of affordable housing in the city, but an estimated 900,000 residents here still have no access to sanitation facilities such as bath, showers or toilets. If affordable housing is to be preserved in their current locations, a radical solution is needed. In the spirit of ‘neighbourly assistance’, new buildings may do much to help old houses. New developments adjacent to older sub-standard housing are required to include small numbers of missing facilities for their

neighbours. In this way, communal shower and toilets will be made available for use by households without them, ensuring that poorer neighbours enjoy the fruits of urban development. This simple, yet profound change, might becomes the basis of a more socially inclusive, yet cost-effective housing system.

AN URBAN MANIFESTO OF BEIJING The 2008 BeijingOlympics have come and gone, acting as an event catalyst that has radically transformed ‘Old Beijing’ into ‘New Beijing’ with many questions remaining for the future planning of China after the Party’s over. After massive and costly infrastructure and iconic stadium development, Post-Event planning in the 3.75 sq km tabula rasa Olympic Green’s evolution of socio-economic and political-cultural urban life will demand new architectural strategies to sustain the city in a coherent manner. Future ambition beyond the mere spectacle of today (already yesterday), and baggage of the past, Beijing’s development has been reconfigured suddenly by these monumental Olympics at the cost of displaced citizens and urban fabric densification. The city could however sustain its future growth through new infrastructural landscapes and regenerating urban fabric, by allowing a dialogue with the rest of Beijing through density exchange. By challenging the monumental 2008 Olympic Park and intensifying it with future urban development, it is possible to ‘displace and disperse’ the landscape of the Olympic Park into the city to regenerate the rest of Beijing, for future generations. Could this be the dynamics between this dissolving Monumental Park and the Peoples' City?

这些提案探讨了与城市和建筑物的老化相关的问题。我们绝不是要为无常与短暂而喝彩，而是在 中国快速的城市转型语境中，应对环境、经济、文化和社会的耐久性等问题。鉴于当代中国城市化和 建设速度的紧迫、持续和势不可挡，总体规划战略尽管旨在追求耐久的城市完形的最终状态，结果却往 往是机能失调的城市和迅速荒废的建筑物。 我们的目标是以不断进化并能适应未来变化的城市为基础，寻求城市总体规划的替代方案。内在于我 们对当代城市认识之中的手段，是能够管理互动、沟通与交换等复杂品质的设计技术，正是这些品质成为 21世纪城市的特色。我们参数化城市的方法，是通过将智能嵌入城市空间的构型与运作，相联系的设计体 系可以控制当地的动态信息，从而影响和调整更大范畴上的城市生活进程。 These proposals address issues associated with the obsolescence of cities and buildings. Far from a celebration of impermanence and ephemerality, we will deal with questions of environmental, economic, cultural and social endurance within the context of rapid urban transformation in China. Masterplanning strategies which seek an enduring final state of urban completion tend to lead to dysfunctional cities and quickly obsolescent buildings, given the urgent, incessant, and evidently unstoppable pace of urbanisation and construction in contemporary China. We aim to seek alternatives to urban masterplanning based an evolving city with capacities of adaptation to future contingencies. The vehicles inherent to our understanding of contemporary urbanism are design techniques with capabilities of managing the complex qualities of interaction, communication and exchange that characterise the twenty-first-century city. Our approach to Parametric Urbanism addresses the ways in which associative design systems can control local dynamic information to effect and adjust larger urban life-processes by embedding intelligence into the formation and performance of urban spaces.

人口与密度数据提取自若干中国城市，应用到四个主要集结类型的变种 中（多层建筑；低层/大进深平面；高层塔楼；豪华独栋别墅）。所得出 的原型空间的参数逻辑包括了空间限制，比如高度、建筑容积率、建筑 覆盖率、制图面积和可建面积总量。 五个中国城市的不同导致了城市原型的差异化，即初始的参数变 量。这些城市原型通过道路网络，优化基础设施，划分界限，以及 这五个城市（北京、上海、广州、深圳和东莞）的地理/地形特征 和现有的城市格局，将细分化的土地整合起来。 设计的最后阶段还有一个并行的目标，就是超越简单的欧几 里德几何学，它是正式表述更具体的建筑原型的基础。一组针 对一般化街区模型的修改，生成了形式上仅限于当地地形、 环境条件的反应，并得出平面图及其分支的曲变度的层级结 构。

网格 ： 网格左右了范围内建筑物的类型，而公共属性也已嵌 入它们的设计之中。虽然缀上了高速公路和大道，中 国的城市却仍然不以多向性网格系统为基础。表面的 灵活性来自于基础设施的过度配置：大面积单一功能 分区的结果是——纸上的公共面积十分可观，而现实 的公共空间名存实亡。更高效、更灵活、更亲密的城 市依靠的是尺度与人谐调的直角网格。 GRID： A grid fosters an inherent set of building typologies. As such the quality of public is embedded in their design. Though laced with highways and avenues, the Chinese city is not based on a multidirectional grid system. Ostensible flexibility is derived from over-dimensioned infrastructure: the framework for extensive mono-functional zoning of ample public square meters, but zero public space. More efficient, flexible and intimate cities rely on embracing orthogonal grids of human proportions

网络： 今天，即使是直角网格也过于静态，我们 要设计的是流畅的城市空间。在本质不变 的前提下，网格需要适应各种地理条件， 并发生形变。这让网格可适用于更广泛的 类型范畴，更精准地定义基础设施和建筑 的关系亦成为可能。 NETWORK： Today even the orthogonal grid is too static for the fluid urban spaces we want to design. The grid itself needs to be able to adapt to geographic conditions and morph without loosing its generic properties. This opens the grid up to a broader range of typologies and offers the possibility of more closely defined relationships between infrastructure and building.

OCEAN.CN has developed a series of urban organisational models, generated as computational arrays of massing typologies and densities. This design exercise proliferates new hybrid urban massing prototypes, and varied species of architectural configurations associated with contemporary Chinese cities.

Typology Transformations Population and density data was initially mined from several Chinese cities, and was applied to the morphing of four dominant massing typologies (tier buildings; low-rise/deep-plan; highrise towers; luxury detached villas).

The parametric logic of the resultant prototypical spaces embodies dimensional constraints such as height limits, FAR, architectural footprint density, plot area, and the total buildable surface area. The urban prototypes are differentiated in relation to the five Chinese cities which initially briefed the parametric variation. These urban prototypes incorporate the subdivision of land by road networks, infrastructural optimisation, lot boundaries, and the geographic/topographic features and existing urban patterns of each of the five cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Dongguan). The final stage of design has a parallel objective of surpassing simple Euclidian geometries as the basis for the formal articulation of more detailed architectural prototypes. A set of modifications to the generic block models generates formally specific responses to local topographic and environmental conditions, resulting in a hierarchy of degrees of curvature of the ground plan and its subdivisions.

生成一个国民的城市

我们想象一个可能没有边界、不停蔓生但又人口密集的城市化中国，它包含了几乎无限多种建筑形式和无限多个类 型学重构。我们想象，在中国有这样一种国有的城市化――目标理想上趋于一致，实践执行上因地制宜。 我们的目的是为有凝聚力的国民城市结构创造一种新模式，从而让公共和私人空间可自由转换或互换，并且不 影响或扰乱私人住房及大街区。具体来说，我们竭力将个体与公共职能都注入城市街区，为街区的内部和边缘营 造一种模糊的特质。 我们希望能创造这些条件，既不过快确定目标，也不诉诸重复生产的简单方法（比如模拟）去制造某种变 化的假象。归根结底，我们试图创造一套策略，用以开发具有随机性及生成能力的语言模式，它可以根据预 先设定的限制和规则进行自动编辑。 else { // If a folder was selected, print path to folder

println(saveToFolder); } } record = true; println("saving pdf..."); } if (key == 'a') { isAuto = !isAuto; println("is auto: " + isAuto); }

Generating a National City We imagine a potentially limitless, sprawling yet dense URBAN China composed from an archive of almost endless architectural varieties and unlimited typological re-compositions. We imagine in China a nationalized urbanism- general in ambition yet specific in execution.

We aimed to create a model for a cohesive national urban fabric in which public and private spaces could be freely swapped or interchanged without disrupting either the individual house or the larger block. In particular we sought to inject each city block with private as well as public functions, creating an ambiguous quality to block interiors and edges. public v o i d clear() {}

We hoped to generate these conditions without immediately over determining intention or resorting to simple (e.g. analog) methods of iteration and reiteration to produce an artificial rendition of variation. Ultimately, we sought to invent a strategy for developing a randomized, generative pattern language that could automatically edited according to a predetermined set of constraints and rule sets.

经济的繁荣让城市开发在过去十年已沦为商业投机 的猎物。吸引投资成了城市开发的唯一目的，官僚政客都 成了商人，把所管辖的城市包装成商品，以便卖出。比 如：毕尔巴鄂、迪拜、阿布扎比、成都、海得拉巴等。 政府摒弃了为人民提供社会﹑法律﹑经济保证的宗 旨，变成了追逐利润的商业机构。一种独特的政治形态也 随之生成，它既非美国政治“政府是财团、党派竞争的裁 判”的模式，也非马克思主义“政府是当权经济阶级的独 裁工具”。我们称这种现象为“新兴都市效应”，这些城 市则是“新兴都市”。 新兴都市的创造过程是“技术统治论”(Technocratic) 的贯彻结果。城市规划和社会建设的每个方面都通过管理、 后勤或科技的角度来决定。在这时空被全球化压缩了的世界 经济中，市政规划异化为吸引快速流动着的有限资源（如资 金和人才等）的商业实践。新兴都市政府有整顿、规范整个 社会人力和财力的政治权力。新兴都市政府能把整个城市改 造成一条流水线，产品是市场经济。 不少中国城市仅仅通过吸引外资来开发，其庞大的 规模与极端的速度必将导致出乎预料的社会和政治后果。 这篇文章试图参考新加坡的实例，为中国城市的发展提供 经验与教训。为什么选择新加坡呢？这是因为新加坡有可 能是世界上或亚洲城市第一个成功掌握新兴都市发展策略 的城市。新城的技术统治 (Technocratic)至上，混合亚 洲价值观以及福特-泰勒主义（Fordist-Taylorist）管理 方式，从而促成了一个全面受控而且满足感强烈的社会， 国家资源和人们的情绪亦得到有效地动员。更重要的是， 新加坡以民族和经济发展为基础的发展策略与中国颇为相 似。我们相信，新加坡是中国城市未来的一面明镜。 从新加坡1965年独立以来，卫生与环境标准一直是 吸引国外投资的主要优势。整个城市都为了“清洁、绿 色”的市场营销战略而规划发展。绿色的城市景观是新加 坡的主要魅力，庭院、公园和绿色草坪与沿街的绿化带以 及绿树荫荫的停车道相连，这是吸引外资和游客的重要因 素。中国城市必须了解，没有健康的环境、社会和文化发 展目标的都市化必然不能长期维系。

向新加坡学习。

在新加坡，所有与最新发展规划相抵触的建筑都会 被拆除。街道与人行道都一铺再铺，以保持整洁感。高效 的现代城市规划为外资准备好了重要的基础设施。好比北 京，浩大的监视系统详细地监视着整齐的、带绿化的交通 网，并为意外事故派遣救护车。地铁﹑电车与巴士把人们 从家门口送到市中心。有井盖的走道为公共住宅与公共停 车场提供连接; 冷气走廊将办公大楼与商场相连，以便消 费者和办公室员工无需暴露在炎炎烈日下。 这在许多开发中的中国城市听上去，更象是个理想 的都市，但是对于一个社会来说，单纯的物质累积仍是不 足够的。这些看上去很美的设施的功能效率以及如此大规 模城市化的社会与环境后果更应该被重视。而新加坡不间 断的城市改造消灭了所有历史的遗迹与社会根源。这虽然 保证了让外人赞不绝口的妥善打理的崭新的都市景 观，但损失了社会的记忆。这不是社会 的失忆，而是对社会集体记忆 的不断消磨——这 记忆本

新兴都市是政治麻醉品。

该成为支撑一座城市的精神和尊严之源。 在新加坡，除了不断抹除城市物质印记外，人们的 思想与职业也被政策不断推向新方向：在70年代是制造 业和工程业，在80年代是工商管理﹑生物科技业和银行 业，从90年代开始是设计和创造业。整个教育体制都为 这些经济题材更新。没有对“新行业”有兴趣或才能的人 们很容易被社会抛弃。在一个没有失业救助计划的社会 里，这些被抛弃的人会觉得更加无望。

新兴都市合同。

新兴都市的专家统治需要极高的政治手腕和商业敏 感。然而它的成功主要依靠的是政府对社会的控制并把治 国方略包装成持续经济繁荣和城市化的“多赢策略”。在 新兴都市里人民与政府之间没有“社会契约”，而只有 “新兴都市合同”：一种交换财富的政治共识。 新兴都市的特征是 1)一个以经济为主体的； 2)专政政府； 3)舶来的城市规划； 4)强制的社会性格； 5)贫困的近代史； 6)只发展经济的治国方针； 7)消极的政治态度。 中国城市的经济特区、自由贸易区、国家即经济技 术开发区以及高新科技开发区都因为主题十分单一，所以 有成为新兴都市的危险。 中国城市很容易通过完成“理想城市的清单”上所 有的项目，而成为“取悦外资”的新兴都市。质量和单调 的问题将不可避免。大规模交通基础设施、摩天大楼、著 名设计师的新建筑、崭新的博览中心、为旅游业新建的 丰碑、(为展示有文化的)新表演艺术馆、“超五星”的酒 店、干净的环境虽然都能被又快又经济地修建，但是这些 建筑质量往往被忽略，这些都市的特征只有短暂的视觉的 现代化冲击，却对城市的遗产毫无贡献。如此炮制城市的 方式所创造的只会是一个缺乏文化依据与身份的都市。 高速和大规模的开发让中国新兴都市没有本地化的 时间。基础设施、都市计划和住宅发展都是根据外来模 式拷贝，或由外国顾问设计。新加坡在70年代和80年代 也靠进口都市模型来提升它的城市规划——例如 荷兰圆环城市(Randstad)模式和勒 科布西耶的高层住宅，并 且成功地把这些 外 国

都市和建筑模型与当地的社会和气候需求相结合。 换句话说，如今运用外国发展模式新建都市在所难 免，但中国城市必须避免不顾后果地剪贴复制，仅 仅像新加坡一样把外来模式略加以本地化。 新加坡的发展意识一向被它呈现“现代的、 崭新的”都市景致，和消除殖民地遗迹的欲望所主 导。结果在80年代后期，当新加坡发现保存有历 史价值的建筑被视为有利于旅游业时，值得保留的 区域已所剩无几。中国领土广阔，不需为了新建工 程而拆除有文化历史价值的旧建筑。如果当地政府 让地方和外国开发商随各自的利益而发展，一不小 心中国城市将很容易成为存放外来设计的棋盘。但 戏剧性的是，尽管新加坡像是能瞥见中国城市未来 的水晶球，能为中国借鉴如何吸纳外来城市设计的 方法，新加坡的开发商却在今天的中国开发了迪斯 尼主题公园般的住宅项目，比如“新英格兰”风格 的分户式住宅。

新兴都市是乌托邦吗?

从纯经济的角度来发展社会的一个大问题， 即是把复杂的人道与文化问题简化成了人口统计 的数据。此类基于消费的规划只把社会划分为各个 “收入阶层”以及与之匹配的“生活方式”，然而 这些新兴社会缺乏土生土长的中产阶级文化根基， 规划师和建筑师亦无从参考。事实上，新生的中国 中产阶级无法很快忘却离去不久的贫困，从而也对 一切外来事物产生扭曲、过度膨胀的期待与兴奋。 要创造一个成功的新兴都市，城市的一切都 得以经济为首要目标。政府要将财政和法律往吸引 投资的方向调整。这是需要全民参与才会成功的行 动。所幸的是，在经济利益的诱惑下，人民会很容 易就被说服并服从所有的政策。与抽象政治乌托邦 所不同的是，经济繁荣主义很有说服力。 一旦人们认为某项政策是符合个 人利益的，即使没有直 接效益，新 兴

北京生活梦工厂 The Beijing Boom Tower “北京生活梦工厂”是满足真实市场需求的理论化尝试：是位于市中心的郊区的奢侈。在 “北京生活梦工厂”里，鱼与熊掌可以得兼。北京极度粗糙的城市景观只能与巨型塔楼街区相 配。以曼哈顿十倍的密度设计以提供洛杉矶别墅的生活方式，“北京生活梦工厂”重申的是遗 失在大型街区中的小尺度及弹性的品质。12,500居民都拥有阳光充足的宽敞阳台，还有与公路 干线连接的停车场、两个地铁站，以及八个广场。这一没有妥协的设计预示了在紧凑的城市环境 中保证个人奢侈的生活需要作出的种种牺牲。 “北京生活梦工厂”为中国的城区提出了一个无围墙的解决方案。共产主义时代社会的军团化 已经自然演进，并形成了隐私与财富的社会阶层之色谱。只有房地产仍然依赖于粗劣的社会疏离。 不同的住宅小区代表了不同的细分市场。他们从街道旁突兀地围合起来，彼此之间亦无联系，社区 空间则无法形成。“北京生活梦工厂”事实上是城中城，为解决这一问题，它为居民提供了大量可 供彼此遇见的配套设施，建筑的大型底部也以内部地铁和公路相连。 住宅楼由桥接形成了三个独立的组团，每一组团在核心位置有一个空心塔。这些组团折射出不同 社区社会地位的微妙差异，并在周围配以适当的设施。空心塔是电梯的集合，通过相连的桥接，它们 也与拥有极致奢华的私人电梯、外形极细的高端别墅相连。

在新加坡，财富的增加和苛刻的内政法律让平 民相信，只有支持新兴都市政府的强权控制才是有 利的。新兴都市“幻觉效应” 让第一代新兴都市 公民屈从于政府以换得更好的生活水平。这一代公 民则继承了上一代对新兴都市的麻醉品的成瘾性， 加上后来的社会教育让他们深信，没有比现在更好 的社会了，他们丧失了为社会发奋向上的意志—— 他们已成为新兴都市意识形态彻头彻尾的追随者。 这是新兴都市合同所培育的政治后果。 培育过程消灭的不仅是政治意愿，还磨平了 人们的创业精神。近年来，新加坡人民缺乏创造性 的社会问题已开始削弱了全球化对新加坡的兴趣， 亦降低了它在亚洲市场的竞争能力。政府现在设法 通过组织公共运动给“创意工业和艺术”赋予重要 性和意识，从而改变缺少动力和想象力的社会症 结。正在开发的中国城市可从新加坡的特殊困境中 学到：为了短期经济目标而忽略社会文化影响的政 策，终将伤害国家和人民的利益。中国的经济自由 化让人民重新信任政府，而这信任可以成为中国城 市发展的巨大社会资本，但也很容易被滥用。发展 中的中国城市必须认真保护这广袤国国土上多元化 的文化和社会财富。由社会不同阶层对话产生的政 策才能迎合不同人的志向、天赋与才能，也许能防 止像新加坡那样的单一发展的问题。 新兴都市的生活水平和经济机会吸引着向往新 兴都市生活并愿意服从新兴都市合同的移民。来新 加坡的移民往往来自政治或经济稍逊的邻国，如东 南亚国家或澳洲。也有移民是印度的专业人士或俄 国的寡头，他们发现新加坡护照在今天要比美国护 照更为好用。不认同新兴都市合同的公民 也会离开。在新加坡，那些才能 在政策并不惠及的行业 (直到近期也 包

括创造业和表演艺术) 或不同意执政方针的人民都只能去 海外发展。这些新兴都市支持者和反对者的出入循环创造 了人口的自我审查——“不喜欢的不来”;“不喜欢新兴 都市的请离开"。

自由市场无自由。

北京08年奥运会的壮观宣告了中国不再是沉睡的巨 龙，而是需要严正对待的大国。媒体对这一宣言的成功报 道将刺激人们对新兴都市公式的全盘接受。新加入（资本 主义模式）的中国人民往往天真地认为新兴都市兼具两重 世界的优点——一个“完全自由，各取所需”的经济并期 望政府支持他们的经济诉求，并在跌倒的时候将他们扶 起。 发展中的中国城市必需从富有的文化传统中找到现 代文化和社会的支撑来平衡贸易增长与现代生活。现今 的新富阶层只依靠他们在西方受教育是吸取的、或从奢 侈品广告所倡导的形象来塑造他们的生活方式和社会地 位。这样的模仿只会形成虚伪的舶来文化。然而，如果 这些发展中的中国城市持续地鼓励本地的社会和职业的 多元化发展，整个社会将带有当地文化的印记。

应对高速发展的中国城市。

事实上，中国城市的规划委员会采取谨慎而多元的 规划观不是没有道理的。除了借民意起草的多元社会政 策会更具有经济和政治的可持续发展性以外，开发中的 城市必须了解复制纯粹自上而下的城市规划的弊端。这 些成熟的公式或许能更快被有关当局批准，也能更快吸 引外资，但它们不是为这些城市多样的社会和文化需求 而量体设计。城市和社会的发展不但是由直接的经济成 果来计算，也得通过社会和政治的持续发展来衡量。进 口的都市模式和开发方案(不论是中国还是外国事务所设 计)都得经过一番本地化，才能真正改进人民的生活质 量。政府只有让人民生活得到真正的、长期的改 善，国家才能长治久安。 而具讽刺意味的是，人们 反而更难相信新兴都 市发展论

的副作用。中国近年来 经济发展的非凡成就是中 国人民辛勤劳动换来的。 所以我们应该如何避免这 些人民患上“再喂食综合 症”——因为突然而来的财 富的而对物质过份依赖？ 当人们全力以赴地提高 生活水平时，怎么向他们解释 文化尊严和民族身分这些无形 的问题呢？即使我们能说服新 兴都市政权选择有利人民的社 会发展计划，我们又能给中国人 民什么比迅速致富还要更有吸引 力的远景呢？我们如何才能事先 避免为了社会经济的复苏而长期 努力后又陷入社会的昏迷状态呢？ 从新加坡成功的案例，中国的 城市将了解保护环境和缜密的城市 规划对社会经济的重要性。新加坡 由于侧重经济发展而产生的社会与文 化的问题，证明了社会文化发展的持 续比财富积累的速度要更为重要。中 国开发中的城市也会明白城市、社会 和文化的多样化将影响到城市发展的寿 命。如果中国城市的发展允许并鼓励社 会的参与，它们将不但会有新加坡财富 积累的效率，也不需要以后再来弥补在发 展中失去的文化财富。

The Beijing Boom Tower is the theoretical product of a genuine market attempt to supply according to demand: suburban luxuries in the center of a major city. In the BBT you can have your cake and eat it. Beijing’s extremely coarse urban landscape can only find its match in giant tower blocks. Designed to offer LA style villa’s at precisely 10 times Manhattan density the BBT is able to reinstate a minute and erratic quality lost in China’s generic mega blocs. The 12,500 inhabitants are all accommodated with big balconies, and orientated towards the sun. There’s drive-in parking, 2 subway stations, and 8 public squares. The uncompromising design indicates the kinds of sacrifices which need to be made to allow luxurious future living standards within a compact integrated urban environment. Socially conscious, the BBT presents a wall-free solution for China’s inner-cities. The regimented society of the communist era has naturally progressed to form a sophisticated gradient of privacies and increasing opulence. Only the housing sector still depends on a very crude form of segregation. The different residential compounds, represent well-defined niche markets. But bluntly fenced-off from the street and disconnected from each other they lack any real communal space. Effectively a city in a city the BBT aims to overcome this problem by offering its residents a radical diversity of facilities. They form the massive base of the building with direct internal subway and highway access. The apartment towers are connected with bridges to form three distinct clusters, each with a hollow tower at the core. These clusters present a soft social gradient through the different neighborhoods, served by tailored facilities in the vicinity. The hollow towers contain extra vertical infrastructure, connected to bridges with the skinny villa skyscrapers all the high-end homes enjoy the perfect luxury of a private elevator.

狂野北京 [或一切存在]

Project/Shuo WANG 北京奥运为我们呈现了一幅城市整 体化路线图。在这瞬间的表象中，整个 城市——政府有如一个目标明确的巨大 系统一般同步运作。然而矛盾的是，如 果放大城市表面来看，在一个完美的稳定 的意象之下，正涌动出更多细小的，看似 不受控制的城市形态。这个城市正在被许 多前所未有的剧变所冲刷着，无法抑制的 动力正从城市底层喷发出来。我们正在经 历一场城市的突变。狂乱的北京，一个生 长和复制的逻辑总在重新被定义的城市， 一个无法约束的“城市野生物种”泛滥的典 范。 经济暴发带来城市的疯狂生长，导致 北京对于无数孤立自闭的城市“飞地”的纵 容。巨大的与外界隔绝的居住区填满了整个 地表。这样倒置的乌托邦吞噬了人们所有对 于城市的憧憬。在少数几个试图应对失控的 快速增长的策略中，推行某种“秩序”大都 成为一种当务之急。然而北京却推翻了这些 企图，并证明了类似“净化”的措施用来对付 城市中各种汹涌而至的张力时显得毫无用处。 Wild Be[ij]ing为突变中的城市书写 一段前瞻性的历史。它并不力图真 实表达北京的现状，而是试图 通过将突现的细小城市 生命体激发到巨大 的城市尺度 中，来 唤

大： 中国打破了有关大型的所有纪录。爆炸性 增长的城市已找到了无数与之匹配的庞大 结构。大——商业上诱人、技术上快捷、 政治上强势。其实在超大型结构内用心设 计，细腻的、独立的尺度也能再现："大" 已死，"大"永恒。

小： 中国的建筑设计已突破临界、扮演起城市规划的角 色来。在管理与效率层面，公共空间都被巨型小区 的围墙吞没。中国城市最可贵的品质是静谧、宜 人，比如胡同。要复兴宜居城市，小尺度项目需要 在新城市景观中被允许、被发扬。

BIG： China has broken all the records when it comes to size. The exploding cities have found their match in countless suitably gargantuan structures. Big is commercially seductive, technically fast and politically formidable. With careful design within the mega-structure the minute and independent can be safely reintroduced: Bigness is dead, Long live Bigness.

SMALL： Chinese architecture has exploded to the point it has taken over the role of urban planning. The public domain has administratively and effectively been swallowed up within the walls of mega-compounds. While the most cherished qualities of the Chinese city are the tranquility and intimacy of environments such as the hutong. To revive these qualities, small scale projects must be promoted and allowed to survive in the new cityscape.

醒这城市潜在的疯狂，并最终将之彻底改变。这一项目采取了一种将相反的两方面合而为一的路径：大尺度的将发展 视为建立封闭区域的自上而下的规划 vs. 覆盖城市每一个角落的细小的不受约束的城市生活。它推广一种新的城市进 程，将利用广大的城市化发展作为各种街头商业活动衍生的框架。这些日常的随意活动不再是寄生性的，它们将与 现有的巨构体交织在一起，像病毒感染一般取而代之。一旦它们超越了临界的数量后，将成为能够自我展开的系 统。整个城市终将演变成一个能够承载一切生活所需的、连续不断的、超高密度的人造景观。 基地：大红门地区——北京城南三环至四环路之间 为在不断改变的城市环境中同时协调住户、小商户、市场和政府等各个方面， Wild Be[ij]ing提出一种动 态的设计过程。下面是三个不同尺度不同阶段的发展提议，分别面对当前系统中的不同方面。它们并不试图 对基地现状给出一套完全的解决方案，而是尽可能描画出可实现的城市未来场景。 The Beijing Olympic Games presented us the image of a total integrated approach to the urbanity. It put up an extreme appearance that the city-state works as one mega-system with clear determination. Yet paradoxically, if you zoom in to the urban surface, out of the aesthetic of a perfectly manufactured stable image, emerges the fine grains of the proliferation of seemingly uncontrolled urban substances. The city is inundated with innovative urban upheavals – “vertical” eruption of the underground dynamics. We are witnessing the mutation of the city, in which logics for (re)production of urban substance are constantly reinvented. It is a paradigm of urban wildness that thrives against any discipline. The wild growth driven by the economic boom has lead to the city’s heterotopias of countless lockdown enclaves. Huge segregated residential compounds have exploded to the point that architecture has swallowed any urban vision. Of the few strategies trying to deal with the uncontrolled rapid growth, many are preoccupied with domesticating order. Beijing simply subverts all those, and proof that the purifying procedure failed in registering the inherently turbulent mode of the multi-dimensional dynamics and tensions by which the city actually develop. Wild Be[ij]ing inscribes a prospective history for the mutating reproduction, attempts to evoke the wild city rather than claim to represent it. The project responds to the allencompassing paradigm of wildness with an approach that merges two seemingly opposing concepts of urbanity into one: the mega-scale top-down planning that treats developments as lockdown enclaves vs. the unregulated mobile activities that flood the urban ground. It propagates a new urban process by utilizing the vast urban developments as framework to proliferate street commerce – instead of being parasitical, unregulated activities can weave into the rigid structure of existing mega-blocks and disturb it like a virus infection. Once they reach the critical masses that catalyst the ferment, the city will become a self-unfolding system that ultimately reinvents itself as an uninterrupted hyper-dense artificial landscape, capable of accommodating all manners of life. Site: Dahongmen Area - South of Beijing between 3rd-4th ring road Wild Be[ij]ing proposes dynamic design procedures as a means of choreographing simultaneously the inhabitants, small initiatives, market and governmental forces in relation to the continuous changing urban environments. Below are three tests on pieces of urban fragments - of different scale, different stage, attacking different aspect of an existing system – they aren’t providing a complete set of answers to the site in present, nor do I desire to offer one, rather, they are possible scenarios of a desirable future.

如何产生良好的建筑师？

设计学院的X因素就是混与连（Mix and Connect）

Text-Architecture/Neville MARS 中国城市进步的一大困难就是缺少好的设计师。该 问题本身又可归结为缺少好的设计教育。后奥运时代的建 筑学校必须停止生产制图者，转而培养全国各地都大量需 要的设计师。我们不能指望为数不多的几个“海龟”变身 明星建筑师来拯救中国的城市。相反，我们应该探讨如何 创造一种教育结构和课程，培养出能应对两大特色的设计 X-Factor E xx MM How to make师：快速变化的城市景观，以及中国城市居民快速变化的 good architects?

X

number of factors that could better position BK_Delft within the market, principally by producing more diverse, better equipped designers. To achieve this, we have defined X-change as the central goal; knowledge X-change and social X-change. This goal is translated into three spatial concepts:

To find out, we’ve analyzed the organizational structure, environmental factors and community make-up of 16 design institutes. We have mapped the following 12 factors:

Organization: Type of curriculum, degree and its educational character distinguishing schools that approach the profession more as an art form (design driven), a discipline (technology-driven) or a field (research driven). Environment: Building typology, urban setting, size, population, language, online presence. Community: Link with the professional community and industry, relations with other faculties, other design institutes, number of exchange students, profile of teachers and professors. X-rated :: How does BK_Delft compare? + Its large scale allows it to offer a broad array of different courses and facilities. + BK_Delft provides an open learning environment and does not adhere to a dominant school of thought. _ Although BK_Delft is known for its research orientated design, disciplines that train students to do research are few. _ Students (until recently) worked predominantly at home and not in studios, limiting opportunities to work in teams. _ The four departments that make up BK operate very autonomously. + Its position is very central within the Western European Network and well connected within the conurbation of Holland’s Ring City. _ At the same time the TU Delft is isolated, has few services, residents or urban program. _ The TU Delft campus is techno-centric, lacking diversity in supporting studies and courses. + _ Although BK_Delft is accessible to many exchange students, and has many program, little effort is made to create strong research labs abroad.

BK_triple X :: Creating a strategic learning environment The architectural profession is changing. BK_Delft has the type of rare opportunity that only comes with great tragedy. It can conceive how its architectural setting can support its long-term educational goals. Globalization and unpredictability prove dominant forces, also in our field. We have defined a

We aim to expand on this opportunity by creating a porous structure on top of an underground parking and retail deck. The ground level of BK_Delft becomes a lobby for the TU area with public services and facilities. Atriums connect to the underground shopping level and parking. These atriums become a controlled buffer zone and offer ample day-light throughout the building as the bases for a sustainable approach. The mall concept reduces the educational facilities to three levels stimulating predominantly horizontal movement. In plan BK_Delft’s four departments are organized in vertical neighborhoods. During the course of their schooling students get exposed to all aspects the school has to offer, encouraging them to shop around for knowledge, mixing and matching the products they feel are essential for their future.

* MOTHER SHIP: In a market that has architects working around the globe, we feel a school the size of BK_Delft should establish international research labs. BK_Delft becomes a mother ship with global satellites. This means at any given point as much as a third of the graduate students may be abroad. The unoccupied spaces become the lab exhibitions moving around the¬¬¬¬ studio floors; small two-way x-change rooms between the school and the world. * MINI-CAMPUS: Today’s architect is required to respond to increasingly complex circumstances. Beyond the spatial dimension, a growing amount of societal issues needs to be understood. We urge BK_Delft to take the lead in offering a broad range of social studies to all students in the TU area. As a first step we have included 1/3 more lecture auditoriums to realize this. The design studios are created in three types; an open curving landscape for under graduates, flexible private studios for thesis students and auditorium style studios for larger teams of graduates to work together, listening to each other presentation from behind their desks. The top floor is all residential, accessible from a private gallery for guest professors and post-graduate students. The building, designed with minimal architectural articulation is a growing system, presented here in its maximum formation for the site.

* MALL: Architectural layout and urban setting have a profound impact on the interactions a student has. Inner-city schools and dense, particularly low-rise structures maximize opportunities for X-change. The TU district lacks such urban qualities. However, as outlined in the universities 2010 urban plan, BK_Delft will gain prominence as one of the main entries to the district.

想改变中国城市的面貌么？

So,You Want to Re-Image the Chinese City? 概念图/洛克• 杨森

Concept Sketch/Lok Jansen

那就还原那些我很怀念的事实真相吧！ 那些不大和谐的、出乎意料的以及设计外的都是令人 宽慰的。中国式的规划是为了实现静态的光滑整洁而 牺牲自发、自然的一切。 我在研究真菌的菌丝体，它是一种能将化工肥料分解 为肥沃土壤的菌类。它能生长一千年，其根茎能蔓延 整座城市。 设计师和规划人员或许能从中获取灵感，也许应当顺 应每座城市自发、自然的过程，并接受一个事实：有 时候放手是最好的选择……

Bring back some of the nit and grit i've been missing so! Discords, the unimagined, and undesigned are such a reprieve. Chinese planning is eradicating all things spontaneous and natural to reveal only static slickness. I've been investigating Mycelium, a fungus that can break down chemical waste and transform it into fertile soil. It grows over millennia, expanding its rhizome to the size of

an entire city. This should inspire designers and planners to work with the spontaneous, natural processes that already occur in every city - and to accept that it is sometimes better to simply let go...

A serious hurdle on the road to better Chinese cities is the lack of good designers. This itself can be attributed to the lack in good design education. In the post-Olympic era architecture school must move away from producing drafters and begin producing designers of which large quantities will be needed across the country. We cannot depend on the handful of ‘sea turtles’ turned star architects to save the Chinese city. Instead we should investigate how to create an educational structure and curriculum that can produce designers who are able to respond to two unique features: the fast-changing urban landscape of and the fast changing needs of China’s urbanites. The fact is the educational process is very slow compared to the transformations of China. To comply with

The X-factor of a design school is to Mix and Connect. We have designed a new school system, accommodated by a new (intentionally introvert) architecture. The school as a satellite that aims to adapt to local conditions, but operates within a network of institutes that exchange and build on each others experiences. Our objectives can be described by three design concepts: MINICAMPUS: Design studios are created throughout the buildings’ flexible framework. Residences and commercial uses are integrated into the campus to produce a slowly developing, dense, porous low rise structure of maximum exchange. MALL: Offer a variety of courses; the student shops around, mix and matches courses according to his personal skills and future ambitions. MOTHER SHIP: In a global market understanding local conditions is crucial. The design institute must become a node in the knowledge network. The research reconfirms one of our profession’s longstanding premises; that spatial conditions impact on social interaction. Secondly, that rather than building a platform where existing ideas can be taught, it is more sustainable to create an environment that encourages students to develop and exchange new ideas.

LEGEND

A good architecture school makes good architects; a place that produces designers who can adhere to the changing needs of society. No ideology, no method can be pre-imposed. Then what should be on offer instead, and within which framework? What is the X-factor of an architecture school?

NVIRONMENT

我们设计了一套新的学校制度，容身于一个新（刻意不 向外开放）建筑。作为一个卫星组织，学校希望能适应当地条 件，但又需在一个互相交换、借鉴经验的学院网络中运作。我 们的目标可以描述为三种设计理念： 迷你校园：大楼的活动框架中到处都开设有设计工作室。 校园整合了住宅与商业用途，在保障交流最大化畅通的同时， 创造一种缓发展、高密度又通透的低层建筑。 购物中心：提供各种课程；学生货比三家，根据个人能力 和未来志向进行课程混搭。 母舰：身处全球市场，掌握当地条件是致胜关键。设计学 院必须成为知识网络中的节点。 这项研究再次证实了我们业内一大宿论，即空间条件对 社会互动的影响。其次，相较于为教学既有观念而搭建一个平 台，创造一个鼓励学生开发、交流新观念的环境才更具可持续 性。

future needs today, diversity should be nurtured and no architectural ideology or no fixed design method should be pre-imposed. What then should be on offer instead? Or, what is the X-factor of a modern architecture school? To find out, we’ve analyzed the composition of 16 renowned but radically different design institutes. Three aspects seem to most affect the quality of a design school: 1. Organization and Curriculum: Schools tend to teach architecture either as an art form (design driven), a discipline (technology-driven) or a field (research driven). 2. Environment: The building typology, the urban setting, size, population, languages offered and online presence. 3. Community: Links with the professional community and industry, relations with other faculties, other design institutes, number of exchange students, profile of teachers and professors.

T33LM X-FACTOR

视觉： 城市的繁荣推动了建筑可视化技术的飞 跃。建筑、城市的电影不再只是仿真电脑 动画，而是可被迅速更改、设计的虚拟现 实。只需鼠标一点，不论专家还是外行， 都能了解并掌控先进、复杂的城市环境。

概念： 华丽的图像让建筑设计堕落为纯粹形式化、甚至肤 浅的实践。门把手和天际线的眩光让概念黯然失 色。一个严重的问题是：决策者们以为理解了设计 渲染图的幻觉，会勾起他们控制设计的更强欲望。 本是空间缔造者的规划师和建筑师，却被耽误了。

Visual： With the urban boom, architectural visualization technology has taken a quantum leap. Movies of buildings and cities can soon, not just be viewed in lifelike computer animation, but altered and designed in realtime. Then the progressively complex urban context can be understood and controlled with the click of a mouse by specialists and laymen alike.

Conceptual: Slick imagery has reduced architectural design to a purely formal, even superficial practice. The concepts are obscured by lensflares in doorknobs and skylines. The serious implication: the illusion of understanding the rendered proposals further tightens the grip Chinese policy makers have on the design process. The emergence of planners and architects as significant spatial problem solvers is postponed.

和谐社会C - 教育政策： 创意儿童- 新学园概念

A Harmonious Society C - Education Policiy: Creative Kids - Concept of New School 文/王帷泽+王帷新

Text/Richard Wei-Tse WANG+Stephen Wei-Hsin WANG

许多中国孩子缺乏一些创意。既然创意是全世界文化以及经济竞争力的 关键成份，中国需要逐步采取一个“创造性改革”的过程。一部分的答案在 于社会对“学校”的再构想。一方面，学校可以更多元化。“教室”也许不 再成为教育的唯一核心空间。例如，未来学校将合并“美术画廊”以及“企 业实验室”，并由学生们，地方艺术家和企业合作策划办理。这些将提供崭新 的场所让学生来参与及体验艺术表现及企业家精神。

67 同时学校必须也向外看，与外界建立更好的连接。中国各地有大量优秀 的艺术家、文学家、科学家、表演者、运动员、政治领导和企业家，必须将 他们带入课程，并入更多的互动交流计划。在这样的环境中，学生将被鼓励 从自我探索以及社会交流中学习。通过促进这种多元性，实验性和互联性的 学习文化，中国可以培养出更有创造潜力的下一代。 Many Chinese children are not creative enough. Given that creativity has become a key ingredient of cultural as well as economic competiveness worldwide, China needs to develop intelligent means of nurturing more creative kids. We see the Beijing Olympic event as the culmination of a topdown, nationalist endeavour. The “One World, One Dream” campaign is symptomatic of the socialist ideology of collectiveness that diminishes the individual. If future visions are top-down defined, what role can children play in defining their own visions of the future? More fundamentally the Chinese education system is not conducive enough to enhance children’s imagination and creativity. Conformity, cram schools, and academic competition all but define and take over the lives of children. The problems become apparent as many Chinese students face difficulty when they travel abroad and encounter a more self-initiative based system. Many Chinese student need constant hand-held guidance, step-by-step ‘procedural manuals’, before they can tackle a given problem. (to be continued...)

文-建筑/何新城

Text-Architecture/Neville MARS 设计产业高度分割、各自为政。规划者、研究员和设计师 之间很少或几乎没有互动，尽管他们的工作之间本有深刻而紧 密的内在联系。中国的规划文化――批评其为公然的实用主义 也未尝不可――挫败甚至破坏了塑造我们所处环境的传统的学 科间平衡。在地方上，大片土地被大学和设计单位公然圈占， 填之以形形色色的城市类型。同时，建筑本身的规模也在膨 胀，这令城市规划师的角色更趋边缘化，仅能分割原本互联的 城市动脉。规划师的根本任务――提供可适应发展需求的弹性 框架及设计建筑间的空间（这一公共领域曾被我们视为城市本 身）――但它们却在巨型工业用地和微型规划建筑群所限构的 版图中被侵吞殆尽。大型建筑受困于方寸之间，扼杀了其作为 城市肌理整体组成部分的潜能。而从俯视角度出发的设计则忽 略了人的维度。这一规划实践最终否决了除官僚阶层外其他所 有人对于城市未来的责任。 为真正实现整合式布局，决策者必须学会接纳尚显抽象的 规划，并寄望建筑能令城市景观繁复多姿。取悦开发商的焦虑 应让路于积极迎接挑战与创造的雄心壮志。决策者应少一点对 陈腐形象的在意，而多一点对当下城市生与息的关心。 正是这样一种理想催生了这一系列设计方案，吊诡的是， 这些方案却来自于世界顶级影像制作公司，水晶石数字科技有 限公司（Crystal CG）。作为建筑效果图方面的专家，水晶石 通过将业务扩展至概念建筑、从生产转向创新，勇敢地填充了 这一块空白。这种拼贴正是我们为中国城市所设计的“积极型 城市原型”在初级阶段的表现。 The design industries are highly fragmented. Planners, researchers and designers have little to no interaction with each other, yet their work is profoundly and mutually related. Chinese planning culture - we can blame blatant pragmatism - has discouraged, even disrupted the traditional balance between the disciplines that shape our environment. The urban

分散的与折射的 SCATTERED AND REFRACTED 渐渐地，写字楼内的背光区域越来越多。这里将所 有的背光办公室集中在大厦内部，通过缝隙将光线 汇聚到大厦深处，从而避免将大厦建成又一座黑暗 高塔。 Increasingly office towers contain more and more dark program. Rather than making another gloomy silo, this tower concentrates the dark office space inside the building, while drawing in light deep into the building through craveses.

designer is squeezed out in the process. At the regional scale large swaths of land are simply gridded by universities and design institutes, to be filled in with generic urban typologies. Simultaneously the architectural scale has exploded, marginalizing the role of the urban designer to plotting out connecting arteries. The essential tasks of the planner, providing an adaptable framework for growth and designing the space in between the buildings (the public realm we once understood as the actual city), are swallowed up within the confined layout of mega-industrial fields and micro-planned compounds. Big buildings are simply locked into place; their potential as integral components of the urban fabric is lost. Designing from a birds-eye view fails to consider the human perspective. Ultimately this planning practice denies anyone other than bureaucrats the responsibility for the final outcome of the city.

葱翠大塔 LUSH TOWER 标志建筑处处风靡，但怎样的建筑才是 可持续式区域的标志？这座空心巨无霸 高60层，外部立面上布满了植被，是当 今世界上最大的垂直公园。大塔本身就 是一面美丽的生态墙，排除大气毒素、 净化我们的空气。 Icon building is all the rage, but what is the icon of a sustainable district? This 60 story hollow giant has vegetation lining its façade, creating the world’s largest vertical park. The tower becomes a beautiful biowall, purifying the air of atmospheric toxins.

To achieve truly integrated schemes policy makers will have to learn to embrace plans that remain abstract, yet anticipate the role architecture should play to give intricacy to the cityscape. The anxiety to please developers should make way for the ambition to challenge and inspire. Policy-makers should concern themselves less with a stale image, more with the workings of a living city. It is this ambition that has resulted in a series of design proposals, ironically from the worlds leading image maker; Crystal CG. As an expert of architectural renderings it has taken the bold step to address this void by expanding its business into conceptual architecture, moving from production towards innovations in the process. This collage presents the first phase of our ‘pro-active urban prototypes’ for the Chinese city.

电视塔 TV TOWER 最初，在尚无任何前期条件之时， 建造地标式电视塔就是一桩梦幻任 务。一项针对全球现有电视塔的基 本调查揭示了另一种现实。它们拥 有同样的外观――完全出于正当原 因。它们唯一的目标就是以更少的 结构性付出（比如，成本）盖到更 高。这注定它们都是内部中空，并 大多在塔身3/5高度的位置设有向外 延伸的观景台和餐厅。下面三个议 案则一方面延续了固有结构逻辑， 同时又有效地突破了这一传统。 Initially the request to make a landmark TV tower, without any preconditions, seemed a dream assignment. A basic survey of the word’s existing TV masts revealed another reality. They all look identical - and for good reason. Their sole objective is to achieve height with minimum structural effort (i.ae. cost). This reduces them to a basic hollow core with a protrusion as a viewing deck and restaurant at roughly at 3/5 of the height. These three proposals effectively break with this tradition while maintaining the inherent structural logic.

塘沽展厅 TANGGU EXHIBITION HALL 博物馆的柯布西耶式曲线将许多理性 设计理念隐藏起来。站在飘浮的甲板 上，参观者们俯瞰整个CBD，映入 眼帘的是悬浮在城市上空的新规划发 展，和四周倾斜玻璃立面中的倒影。 The Le Corbusian curves of this museum conceal a number of rational design concepts. From a floating deck visitors look down over the CBD, and virtually see the new planned developments floating over the city, reflected in its tilted glass facade.

绿舰 THE GREEN CARRIER 除了最大程度吸收被动式太阳能， 以太阳能为主导的设计理念也值得 考虑。这一设计将一个庞大建筑置 于公共领域上，从而解决了巨大阴 影的问题。其如锥如舰的造型令阴 影面积达到最小。 Solar oriented design concepts deserve consideration beyond maximizing absorption of passive solar energy. This design addresses the vast shadow a large building casts onto the public domain. Its cone or carrier shape minimizes this shadow silhouette.

TIANJIN MUSEUM TOWER 中国公共建筑之大不幸在于其根本 不面向公众。博物馆与政府大楼两 者功能互融，令我们可以穿越传统 的桎梏，既允许展览向上延伸至高 塔的中心，也允许办公室向下渗透 到博物馆之中。如整体式可持续发 展工程般的设计，塔身就像博物馆 的天然通风烟囱。两座建筑的地下 部分互相连接，利用博物馆的空旷 部分将新鲜空气送到顶端。 Chinese public buildings have the unfortunate quality of being particularly non-public. The combined commission of a museum and government building allowed us to blur the traditional borders, allowing the exhibition to crawl up into the tower atrium and the offices seep down into the museum. Designed as an integrated sustainable project, the tower functions as a naturally ventilating chimney for the museum. Underground the two buildings are connected, drawing fresh air through the voids of the museum to the top.

子弹大厦 BULLET BUILDING 上海火车馆的设计大胆地表现 了中国轨道交通闪电般的实现速度。 数天前还需几天才能到达的地方，如今只 需几个小时就能抵达，全国数百万人的时空 体验已被火车大大压缩了。 This design for the Shanghai Rail Pavilion boldly represents the lightning speed at which rail transportation has been realized in China. Connecting places in hours, that until recently took days to reach, the train has dramatically shrunk to time-space experience for millions of people across the nation.

剧院绽开 THEATER UNWRAPPED 通常剧场的延展部分环绕在其技术核心――听众席――周围， 掩盖了自己的特征。本设计返璞归真，展示其基本结构以令机制 本身自言自明。将三座地下剧场、空中桥梁连接起来，使每个建 筑物在空间与功能上都独立，并解放地面部分以作为公共空间。 Typically, the malleable program of a theater is wrapped around the technical core of its auditorium hiding the characteristic features. Stripped down to its fundamental structure this design aims to let the machinery speak for itself. This is possible by connecting the three theaters underground, and with bridges in the air, leaving each building independent and efficient, while liberating the ground surface as public space.

世博动态图 EXPO LIVING DIAGRAM 目标是让本建筑的整体造型成为上海世博会的典范式图解：神形具备地展示全球增长规模最 大、速度最快的城市。图解建筑体上的每座山头代表一座超大城市。宽度对应城市的大小， 高度则代表城市的发展速度。山体内部是投影放映厅。 The shape of this building is aimed to be the Shanghai Expo’s quintessential diagram: the state of the world’s largest and fastest growth cities. Each hill of the diagram building represents a mega-city. While the width of the hill reveals the size, the height of each hill represents the speed with which the city grows. Inside the mountain are projection halls.

上海火车馆 SHANGHAI TRAIN PAVILION 铁轨与车站不再只是功能性基础设施，它们代表了 中式大都会的两大目标：向网络城市的转型，和以 公共交通为居民现代生活方式核心的都市社会。本 建筑展示了这种复杂三维交通节点的冰山一角。 Tracks and stations are no longer just functional infrastructure, they represent two quintessential goals of the Chinese metropowards the network city, and an urban society is at the heart of its residents modern lifesection of such a complex three dimensional

水晶石的大脑 ——卢正刚: 多样化、破坏与混乱的制造者 Interview LU Zhenggang - CEO Crystal CG：On Creating Chaos 采访/何新城

NM: As the importance of virtual architecture is expanding, does that mean the market of architecture in the traditional sense is becoming less important for you?

Interview/Neville MARS

何新城：水晶石今天还具备最前沿的技术优势么？ NM: Today still have a technological cutting-edge advantage?

何新城：我们似乎正处于特别的一刻，中国过去三十年的高速发展 在奥运会实现顶峰，之后的经济形势则发生了变化。水晶石在经历了十年 的快速成长后，是否也处于一个相似的时间点？ NM: We are at a very special moment in time. Thirty years of relentless growth, topped by the Olympics, directly followed by a new economic reality. Is Crystal at a similar point in time, after ten years of amazing growth? 卢正刚：2008年的结束的确是个转折点。水晶石是中国近十年来的发展、 尤其是奥运会的主要受益者。从1998年申奥开始，到奥运会宣传、教育，奥运 会场馆的建设以及后来的奥运会开幕式，水晶石参与了整个过程。仅奥运会这一 个机会就让水晶石从1998年60来名员工发展到如今2000多人的规模。下一个推 动我们的事件将是世博会，但合作方式已有所不同。

卢正刚：水晶石今天的综合技术优势在中国仍然非常明显，除了个别单项技术需要提升以 外，一些独有技术仍然相当先锋，比如水晶石能将一座城市数字化并放在互联网上。这一技 术目前正用于网上世博会。将世博会所有的场馆、展示都放在互联网上是2010年上海世博 会的亮点之一，也是本届世博会的创举。 LZG: Overall Crystal still has a technological advantage, however, computer graphics technology right now is much more diversified and some technical aspects needs to be updated. On the other hand, now Crystal can produce an entire city in virtual reality and upload it online. Such technology is absolutely cutting-edge and is being applied in the online World Expo in 2010. All the museums and exhibitions of the Expo will be replicated. This is one of the major highlights of the Shanghai World Expo. That’s unprecedented.

LZG: The end of 2008 is a turning point. But Crystal is in fact just a very small company in the large economy of China. We got seriously involved with the Beijing Olympics, right from the bid in 1998, to the PR, building the stadiums and the opening ceremony. The size of Crystal and the brand has been elevated tremendously during the ten years of hosting the Olympics. This single opportunity made Crystal grow from a company of 60 to more than 2000 employees today. We are one of the main beneficiaries of the Olympics in the last ten years. The next event that will push us moving forward will be the Shanghai Expo in 2010.

何新城：你所说的实际上是通过创新从而引导市场，是否可以这样理解，水 晶石的科技事实上在重新定义建筑行业的工作方式？ NM: Creating new products shapes the market. This seems to me to suggest that Crystal’s technologies are actually redefining the architectural profession.

何新城：水晶石当时的竞争优势是什么？ NM: What was the competitive advantage of Crystal?

70

何新城：当虚拟建筑变得日益重要时，传统 意义上的建筑表现市场是否越来越不重要了呢？

何新城：商业领袖都会思考公司的可持续发展的问题而不是短 期的利润。对于水晶石来说，这方面的努力是否体现在对员工的培训和构建内部 交流平台的尝试？

卢正刚：水晶石是中国最早从事图像服务的公司之一，在奥运会筹备的早期，水晶石在图 像渲染、模拟和可视化效果等方面拥有绝对的技术优势；第二，水晶石在图像服务的专业化方面 也绝对领先于提供图像服务的国有企业。 LZG: Crystal was one of the first companies in China that produce computer graphics. during the early stage of the Olympics preparation, Crystal had absolute cutting edge technology in rendering, modeling and visual effects. Secondly, Crystal was way ahead of the state owned enterprises in terms of professional service.

卢正刚：是这样，这是我们与客户双向互动的过程。水晶石一开始只有 一种技术，就是建筑表现渲染，客户也集中在建筑业，而现在的客户群已经 非常多元化了。我们的确拉动了客户的需求，而有想像力、走在前沿的客 户也在促进我们成长。水晶石是一个高度市场化的公司，所以我们总能比 同行更先了解到市场需求的变化。 LZG: True. Crystal only had one technology in the beginning which is architectural rendering and all of our clients were from the architectural fields but our client base has much diversified now. On the one hand, we create new demand but at the same time, those clients who have great imagination and who are ahead of us have helped us to expand. Crystal is a highly market-driven company. We know the change of demands faster than our competitors.

NM: Every great business leader thinks about sustainable growth rather than quick profit. I know for Crystal this means educating it’s people and trying to build a community.

卢正刚：现在还看不到对传统建筑表现的需求有任何萎缩的迹象。越来 越多的建筑师能熟练地运用各种建筑表现工具，与此同时，建筑师对于表现图行 业的依赖之深也是前所未有的。对于水晶石这样的供应商来说，则意味着要面对越来 越挑剔、精明、有成本意识的建筑师。我还能看到一个时间差，即目前国外建筑师在可 视化方面的需求基本上是中国五年前的水平。这说明，经过十年的发展，建筑表现已经从一 个高精尖的技术变成了一个建筑师的必备工具了，其需求正在趋于稳定。 水晶石的海外客户目前占到一半左右，但是当我仔细研究我们在海外的客户时，我发现 我们还不是真正国际化的公司，水晶石在美国、欧洲和中东地区的客户都是以前在中国发展认 识再转移到当地的。从市场占有率、品牌乃至客户认可度来说，水晶石都还不能说已经国际化 了，这是我对目前的一个理智的判断。

卢正刚：实现水晶石的平衡是我长期的目标。一是商业与专业的平衡， 太商业则无法进步，太专业则只能成为一个小工作室，这是一个非常艰难的 平衡；二是短期与长期的平衡，短期的利益最大化不能造成长期竞争力的 下滑。 保持长期的竞争力永远是我的第一任务，而核心又在于如何创新的问 题。对于我来说，要实现创新就必须对这个组织有一定的破坏。不破坏老 的结构就无法产生新的结构。破坏会产生混乱，混乱也会产生创新。 除了破坏以外，竞争也会产生创新。我要保持内部有不同的思想、 观点、视角，让它们共存，让它们碰撞，又不让谁灭了谁。多样化、破 坏与混乱是保持创新的三个关键词。

LZG: I haven’t seen any sign that the traditional rendering is diminishing. Yet market structure has certainly changed. More and more architects know how to use architectural rendering tools. However, the dependence of architects on renderings is also unprecedented. It means that service providers like Crystal will face ever more critical and smart architects who are ever more aware of costs. At the same time, i can also see that the foreign demand of visualization is five years behind that of China. It means that after ten years of development, architectural rendering has evolved from an advanced cuttingedge to a popular tool and the demand for the service is ever more stable. In fact, about half of Crystal’s clients are foreign architects nowadays. But recently, as I’m studying our foreign client base more carefully, i realized that we are still not a truly international company. Most of the clients in our offices in the States, Europe and The Middle East have emerged in China and expanded to those places. In terms of either market share, brand recognition or client satisfaction, Crystal hasn’t even started to become international. That’s my observation of the current situation.

何新城：水晶石走向国际 市场似乎是坐标变化的指针。过去的十年都是全球化 的公司打入中国市场，而现在水晶石是第一批真正走出去的先锋之一。 NM: Crystal entering the world market is one of the indicators of a real paradigm shift. The last ten years global companies have fought hard to enter the Chinese market, now Crystal is among the frontrunners of Chinese companies expanding it’s horizon. 卢正刚：水晶石向海外发展并不是因为中国市场的衰退。水晶石的海外拓 展目前有两个挑战，一是人才瓶颈，既懂语言又懂业务还懂当地文化的中国 人才奇缺，二是水晶石的规模是适合中国的市场需求的。如此大规模的公 司要适应不同国家多样化的需求对公司内部的结构是一个巨大的挑战。

LZG: it has always been my primary mission to achieve a balanced growth. Primarily the balance of commercialism and professionalism. Not too commercial yet not too professionalized like a small studio. Maximizing short-term profits should not diminishing the long-term competitiveness. Maintaining longterm competitiveness is always my first priority mission, essentially by promoting innovation. I believe to a certain extent innovation means damaging the organization. If you don’t destroy the old structure there will never be a new one. Damage will cause chaos and chaos will promote innovation. Besides damage, competition will also result in innovation. I need to maintain the co-existence of different ideas, viewpoints and opinions, allowing them to clash with each other without destroying each other. Diversification, damage and chaos are the three key words in my dictionary to promote innovation.

何新城：作为商业领袖，你如何看待四万 亿的经济刺激计划？ NM: Finally, on the topic of competition, as a business leader how do you feel about China’s stimulus package?

卢正刚：我对这个四万亿计划持一定保留意见。四万亿其实是个口号， 中央政府只出一万亿。我觉得它可能会让中国的经济保持两三年高增长，但它 会让中国的市场经济倒退。这界政府似乎在不断强化国有经济，且坚信政府的强 势可以拯救经济，但这多少会有一些抑制创新的作用，会使市场经济缺乏活力。这 也是为什么在有四万亿的经济刺激计划下，中国企业还是要坚持要走出去面对更高 层次竞争的勇气的原因。 我现在下了一个巨大的赌注，就是赞助伦敦奥运会，一千万英镑的赞助费还只是投 入的一部分。公司内有很多人反对，理由在于伦敦奥运会对水晶石来说不是一个像北京奥 运会 一样巨大的商机，而且英国现在面临衰退。当其他人都不看好伦敦时，我却异常坚决。 现在的压力非常大，但我相信，再经过四年的锻炼和洗礼，水晶石一定会大不同。

LZG: Crystal’s overseas expansion is not because the Chinese market has receded. There are two challenges in terms of Crystal’s overseas expansion, one is the lack of talent. LZG: I have my doubts about the four trillion RMB stimulus. Other than the fact it is just There’s a major shortage of Chinese who speak the local an empty slogan, and the central government will only spend one trillion, i think the stimulus language, and understand the culture and Crystal’s package will make the transition to the market economy in China move backwards. I oppose business. Secondly, the size of Crystal suits the Chinese such economic policies of this government. They are increasingly empowering the national market. It will be a major challenge to the business economy and they firmly believe that a strong government will be able to save the economy. It structure of such a big company to meet the might have some short-term effect the next two or three years, but it will kill innovation and damage diversified demands in different the free market economy. I’m not worried about our business but i don’t like the political economic countries. environment. I don’t like that i will need to face up to an ever more powerful government. This also explains that why we decide to expand the overseas market even though China has a four trillion RMB stimulus package lined-up. I made a huge bet which is to become a major sponsor of London Olympics. the ten million sponsor fee is only part of the investment we will make. Many people within the company are against it, arguing that the london olympics is not as big a commercial opportunity like Beijing. Yet I insist to invest. I’m under huge pressure at the moment, but I believe that after another four years of struggle and self-reflection, Crystal will have its rebirth.

土生土长的城郊

Home Grown Hangzhou 摄影-文/何新城

Photograph-Text/Neville MARS 户口制度已在中国的城郊催生了大范围、自觉的城市化。就在城市的边界以外（边界 的认定因人而异），自觉的农村开发蔓延成片，深入乡村腹地。通常情况下，这些原生态 的城市化与那些驱逐它们的政府倡导项目顽强地竞争着。亦有例外。当规划者们还在为最 时髦的“都市农业”概念议论纷纷时，像杭州这样的城市已经催生了令人耳目一新的“土 生土长”的城郊。在当地政府的基本支持下，城市与农村的交战凝固成了令人瞩目的农业 与别墅的混合体。 其产生的结果是多样化不亚于任何其它中国都市边 缘的中间地带，它没有近年来中国主流郊区化悬殊的贫 富差距。主要的建筑体征是童话般颜色鲜亮的五六层 别墅，它们的后院都有菜地，有的还在车库搭有迷你作 坊。我们的访问结果显示，它们大多数是本地 人修建并居住的；是农户在规模农业太局促、 地价却不断攀升地带的投资。 它们在运河及灌溉渠岸上紧密排开，是中 国式的务实催生了这非中国式的城市布局。被 污染得漆黑的运河让这里同样具有城市的明显 体征。而此地除了开创混合使用、都市农业及 社会－政治的细分市场以外，还为 城市规划之要旨提供了强有力的例 证——规划不过是为开发商（或个 人）提供最基本的城市格局，好让 他们实现各自想要的建筑项目。这 半独立、相对密集、且以公交联系 的土生土长的郊区栖息在城市的核 心区域外，而拥有城乡之间“绿色 边界”的一切烙印。

Around China’s cities the urban registration system has spawned extensive in situ urbanization. Outside the administrative border, where you’d expect the edge of the city, informal rural developments often continue far into the countryside. Generally this is primitive urbanization staunchly competing with the official projects of the city that chases them, but not always. At a time when among planners urban farming is all the rage, the periphery of cities such as Hangzhou have produced an entirely new kind of ‘home grown’ suburbia. With basic support from the local authorities, here the struggle between city and countryside has consolidated into a compelling hybrid of agriculture and private villas. The result is an in-between zone as diverse as any Chinese metropolitan periphery but without the staggering spatial and social contrasts that have dominated suburbanization in recent years. The main typology is a 5 or 6 story villa designed like a colorful fantasy palace with a vegetable garden as a backyard and sometimes a workshop in the garage. Our survey shows they are built and mostly occupied by locals; an investment for rural families in an area whit little room for large-scale farming but with increasing land-values. Tightly aligned shoulder to shoulder along canals and aggregation systems Chinese pragmatism has produced an entirely un-Chinese layout. Though still pitch black with pollution these canals make this a truly unique urban system. Beyond the mixed use, the urban farming, and the socio-political niche that is fills, it’s an powerful example of what urban planning should be about; providing developers and individuals only with the basic framework to realize their architectural projects. Nestled against the urban core, semiautonomous, relatively dense, and served by public transport the homegrown suburb has all the qualities of a Green Edge* wedged between city and countryside.

在柯布西耶自上而下和凯文•林奇自下而上的规划理 念中，人们可以想象的所有可能的设计策略都被包含了。 但在中国的现实中，既非设计师也非使用者在掌控，而是 另外两者粗略地界定了城市环境的结果：国家和市场。最 后一部分探讨的问题正是中国房地产开发及其对城市的影 响。 民主设计1.0——环链模式 这个城市是你的？我的？大家的？还是谁的？如果城 市不仅仅是我们聚集与建设冲动的副产品，如果我们可以 对形式产生影响，超越一般化的、既有的模式，那么应该 有人——也许是我们大家——开始思考城市最终会成为什 么样子。

方式 ：显而易见，让城市超速发展需要付出代价。不论处

在哪个社会阶段，推土机和巨型铁锤都在为新事物和现代 化开辟着道路。从商业中心到贫民区，从工厂到乡村，我 们都被承建商和他们的建筑大军无休止的奋战包围着。反 过来，他们又变成图书馆，存满着十几万名设计师、规

划师、工程师、市场顾问和建筑师们创造的图纸，他 们被越来越多的开发商雇佣，拥有一批设计机构的协 调支持，同时还受到各种政府机关和部门的监管。中 国城市化产业效率惊人。为追求这样的效率，建筑本 身――我们住的楼房、新街道和商店――都做出了适 应性调整。这让今日施工明日建成的中国城市光鲜华 丽；概念与材料都不够份量，绘图与装配倒是技艺卓 绝。性能就是我们所付出的代价。 显然，城市是无法一劳永逸地建成的。华丽的 外观很快可以建起，但会有无数毛病随之而来。抱怨 城市简直是一场全民运动（全世界皆如此）：它太大 了、污染太严重、密度太大、生活成本太高、市容太 糟、太拥挤；或者是它太小了、没有就业机会、没有 空间、没有绿化、没有公用设施、没有社区还没有马 路。每个人都有不同的抱怨。私车车主和建筑工人之 间很可能在城市建设问题上存在冲突。有无数互相抵

触的需求、利益需要调合与解决。既然城市问题 无法彻底解决，那它可以被引导吗？

选择 ：参与中国城市建设的绝对人数令人惊讶； 但设计师与和决策者却极少。那么是谁决定你这 位公民的利益呢？他们知道你的想法吗？

我们再不必住在成片成片、千篇一律的街区 了。现在有各种各样、大小不一、颜色各异的公 寓楼和别墅出售。市场知道该建什么，商品就是 它决策的基础。这是在反复实验与错误中前行； 随着需求达到平衡，竞争走向稳定，出售商品的 种类也将多样化，城市从而继续进步。这就是正 在发生的事――可持续性住房慢慢流行；就地订

开发商 ：身处竞争如此激励的市场，创新是种危险的奢侈

YOU DREAMS 2020

Between Le Corbusier's top-down and Lynch's bottom-up visions of planning one would imagine all possible planning strategies are covered. In the reality of China, however, neither the designers nor the users, but two other parties grosso modo define the outcome of the urban environment: the state and the market. This last segment raises questions about the process of real-estate development in China and its effect on the city.

Text/Neville MARS

Democratic Design 1.0 – The Loop Model

The harmonious city must first be planned by experts who understand the science of urbanism. They work out their plans in total freedom... once their plans are formulated they must be implemented without oppositions. —Le Corbusier

Is the city yours, or mine, everybody's, or anybody's? If the city is more than a mere byproduct of our urge to coalesce and to build, if we can influence its form and evolve beyond the generic, beyond pre-existing models, someone - maybe all of us - should consider what it could ultimately be.

Perhaps the most powerful way of improving the fit of our environment, is to put the control of it in the hands of its immediate users, who have the stake and the knowledge to make it function well. If users are in control ... then a good match is more likely. —Kevin Lynch

Performance : It is obvious there is a price to pay for

urbanization at hyper-speed. At every level of society bulldozers and sledge hammers are clearing the way for the modern. From CBD to suburban slum, from factory to village we are surrounded by the ceaseless efforts of contractors and their army of construction workers. They in turn are

fed libraries of drawings produced by over 100.000 designers, planners, engineers, market consultants and architects who are hired by a growing number of developers, coordinated by an array of design institutes and kept in check by several government bodies and ministries. The efficiency of China's urbanization industry is astonishing. To achieve such efficiency the architecture itself, the buildings we live in, the new streets and shops, have inevitably adapted. It has made the Chinese cities under construction today and finished tomorrow into slick cities; light in concept and material, sophisticated in their ease to be drafted and assembled. The price we pay is performance. It's obvious the city can't ever be solved. Slickness may be fast to construct, but it comes with countless glitches. It's a national sport (as in any country) to complain about the city: it's too big, too polluted, too dense, too expensive, too harsh, too congested; or it's still too small, with no work, no space, no green, no facilities, no community, no roads. What to complain about is different for all of us. Car owners and construction workers most likely have conflicting ideas about what the city should be like. The list of opposing needs and interests to address is endless. So while the city can't be

79 solved, the question remains: can it be steered?

Choice : The absolute number of people involved in

China's reconstruction is staggering; the number of designers and decision makers is minimal. So who decides what's good for you as a citizen? And do they know what you want? No longer do we live in rows and rows of indistinguishable blocks. On offer today are all sorts of apartment towers and villas in different sizes and colors. The market knows what it wants to build, and it decides based on what sells. This is trial and error; as demand levels out and competition stabilizes, the assortment on offer should broaden and the city will evolve. And this is happening - sustainable housing is slowly more en vogue, and tailor-made local projects are on the rise over copy-paste solutions. Still, in reality the tens of thousands of residential projects scattered across China follow very similar design principles. The level of luxury may differ, but the way they function, their living environment, and particularly the urban context they produce are

all but identical. Chinese cities are all becoming the same. Urban development has progressed and accelerated. The majority of buildings for 2020 have today been realized. In order to produce better performing buildings and cities that keep pace with the blossoming urban class the development process itself will need to become more sophisticated. This involves a more intense dialogue between the state, developers, designers and users; a continuous loop of information will be necessary.

Developers : In this highly aggressive market, innovation is

a dangerous luxury – eighty eight of the top one hundred of Chinese real estate companies have been taken over since 1994. Understandably developers have been walking a tight-rope, careful not to stray from the success formula of previous projects. From a commercial standpoint, the real-estate industry has indeed become so refined it's hard to imagine there is room for any new paradigms. A resilient misconception that innovation in design always means added costs - not only in direct costs, but in more complicated architecture - pervades. The developer knows these sort of considerations will be beyond the carefully calculated budget of new inhabitants. But there is of course innovation all around us. A Beijing company has recently

produced a panel system that allows an entire house to be built in less than five hours. This is an amazing novelty that may further accelerate China’s building boom. For the most part, however, explorations on how we can live, and what the user might need tomorrow, remain scarce. Developers in China, with an unusually strong input from market consultants, try to map what people want and can afford. Unfortunately simply listening to home-owners with surveys is not a profound basis for innovation. And the improvements are restricted to the level of the building or the (gated) community; the city as a whole, as a product of thousands of connected real-estate projects, is not addressed.

Designer : If we believe Le Corbusier the harmonious city

is just around the corner, if only the visionary architect could have his way. Ironically China has by and large been constructing a Le Corbusian landscape, complete with repeating apartment towers, flyovers and mega-projects, but without involving many architects. At this moment, at this speed in China’s history the role of the designer is still dismal. Based on output Harvard researchers have argued the efficiency of the Chinese architect is 500 times that of

一个整体的城市，作为一个由成千上万 楼盘连接组成的产品，并没有得到关 注。

设计师 ：如果我们相信柯布西耶，只要

有远见的建筑师能自行其事，和谐城市 就不远了。讽刺的是，整体上说中国一 直在建设柯布西耶式的景观，配备了不 断重复的公寓楼、立交桥和巨型建设项 目，但却没有许多建筑师。此刻，当中 国达到了史无前例的建设速度时，设 计师的角色却依然是消沉。哈佛的研究 者表示，在产量上中国建筑师的效率相 当于美国同行的500倍；但即使有所改 善，中国建筑师在设计和决策方面的表 现却与前例正好相反。建筑师和开发商 在方案上的拔河战是开发过程中最重要 的部分，它应具体呈现每个涉及的成 果。双方应该都努力表达住户的需求， 竭尽全力发挥到极致。但在中国，作为

住户需求阐述者的设计师还不存在。

政府 ：城市是一个调和的空间。它的密度，市民彼此间的

紧密度，互相影响的程度，是城市取得成功的关键。人与 人之间的紧密度应该是自发的，并为所有人提供平等的探 索生命的机会。但这种近距离并不受欢迎；越多空间才越 舒适。作为一个调和的空间，城市的最优化需要国家的努 力。那么中国所期待的城市融合就无法自由进行。规划政 策无法既灵活又严格地让城市脱离空间规划和设计去发 展。国家应该维持个人、公司的需求与公共利益之间的平 衡，并设计能维护公共利益、具有连贯性的形式。在集中 计划的经济环境中，俯瞰全局的视角是必须具备的，至少 理论上应如此。长期的地区发展规划应该具有现实的空间 影响力，除了划定计划开发区，最应该影响的是土地使用

效率。大型、成功的国有开发单位是唯一可以克服市场经 济缺陷的企业——尤其是在一些小型工程上。政府主持的 项目在质量和速度上比任何其他的都要高；他们有能力也 应该推动整个产业采纳更具战略眼光的方案、接受更缓或 更周期更长的收益回笼。

使用者 ：只剩你和我了。作为空间的使用者，我们真的不 知道自己想要什么。我们只是挑选市场上有的商品，我们 买得起的房子，有好学校的社区，形象友善的城市等等。 但是你，作为个体来讲，如果想要市场上没有的东西，你 就得全身心投入了。

Government : The city is a mediated

space. Its density, the proximity of its citizens to each other, the ease to interact, is the key to its success. This proximity should be voluntary and produce equal opportunity for all citizens to explore their lives. This proximity however is also undesired; more space is more comfortable. To optimize the city as a mediated space the input of the

动态城市 ：那你是怎么想的呢？慢城市，像斯堪的

那维亚半岛上那些首都，它们都是全球最受欢迎的 宜居城市。一个街区一个街区、年复一年地发展， 随着时间的推移，这些城市已经能够调节市民不同 的需求。这些城市和我们从问卷中听到的环境很 像，但它们并没有为中国迅速成长的新中心提供可 借鉴的选择，抄袭它们的外表也无济于事。另一个 途径是采取70年代初在欧洲试行过的方法，放手 让使用者参与进来。这是真正的民主化设计，但 也因速度过慢而夭折。中国的建设不会减速，新 社区和开发区脆弱的质量问题不会在一夜之间改 变。中国现代化发展的下一步需要是发展自身的 改进。我们需要围绕城市未来、在各方间展开一场

In China individuality is a young concept, but nothing less than an urban renaissance has been sparked by you the individual and by the millions of new citizens and first generation metropolitans. You are moving to the cities and you are rebuilding your villages. You are driving the economy; you are buying the cars, building the apartment towers, operating the conveyer belts and buying the villas. That makes you the new leaders of China.

80 his American counterpart; though on the rise, his role in the design and decision making process should be reduced by a similar amount. The tug of war over a proposal between architects and developers is a crucial game at the heart of the development process that should crystallize the outcome of any design. Both parties should meet as equals to interpret the needs of the user, and struggling to explore the limits. In China however, the designer as an interpreter of user needs simply does not yet exist.

在中国，个性是一个新概念，但完全不亚于一 个城市的复兴，一个由你、数百万新市民和第一代 都市人所引发的复兴。是你在向城市搬迁，是你在 重建设乡村家园。是你在推动经济发展；是你在买 车、买楼、买公寓，是你在运作市场的传送带、买 着别墅。这一切让你成为了中国的新领袖。

Dynamic city : So what do you want? Slow cities,

state is needed. China's anticipated urban mix can't grow freely. Planning policies can't be both flexible and restrictive enough to let the city grow without spatial planning or design. The state should balance the demands of individuals and companies against the common good and envisage some form of coherency that captures the common good. In this centrally planned economy an overarching vision should, at least on paper, be able to be implemented more effectively than anywhere else. Long-term regional planning should have an actual spatial impact, beyond assigning economic and development zones - notably on land use efficiency. The large, generally successful state-owned developing companies are a unique means to supplement an architectural landscape solely produced by the market notably the introduction of small scale projects. State-run

projects are realized with higher quality and faster than any other; they can and should push the entire industry towards more strategic proposals and accepting slower or longerterm revenues.

User : That leaves you and me. As users of space, we really

don't know what we want. We simply choose from what's on offer; the house we can afford, the neighborhood with a decent school, the city with a friendly face. But you, the individual will have to start to participate if you want anything more than what's on offer.

such as the capitals of Scandinavia rank high on the world list of favorite cities to live in. Evolving block by block, year by year they have been able to mediate the different desires of their citizens over time. These cities resemble the environments described in our survey, but they hardly present a feasible option for China’s burgeoning new centers, and copying the style of their facades won’t help much either. Another approach is hands-on user participation of the kind we have tried in Europe in the early seventies. This was truly democratic design, but it proved horrendously slow and subsequently failed. Construction in China will not slow down soon. The paper-thin features typical of the new neighborhoods and development zones will not evolve overnight. The next phase of China’s modernization efforts requires the refinement of the development process itself. An

公开对话：在决策者、开发商、设计师和同样重要的市 民之间需要一个信息循环链。正如2010年上海世界博览 会所倡导的：城市，让生活更美好！为了中国未来的10 亿城市居民，城市环境质量和城市生活质量之间的相互 关系必须凸显出来。这个对话交流毫无疑问会使发展速 度变慢。但是它会提高发展的质量，在光鲜外表下铺上 一层层基石。它会赋予所有城市的成员控制力。最重要 的是，以一股合力让我们大家更好地主导城市发展的方 向。这个方向既是确定的但又不明晰。而你，市民们， 未来想要什么也是不确定的。城市就应该有能力应对这 种不确定。为中国这样的动态语境所设计的方案，即使 制定完成了也应该能继续成长和进步，这样才不会阻碍 它们自身的发展。城市必须能够适应现实的不断变化， 考虑每个层面上的成员。这就是动态城市，以研讨性对 话和高瞻远瞩为基础的动态进程的成果。

81 open dialogue about the future of the city is needed that involves all parties: a loop of information between policy makers, developers designers and, new to the equation, citizens. The theme of the 2010 Shanghai Expo is appropriately called: Better City, Better Life! For the one billion Chinese soon living in cities the correlation between the quality of the urban environment and the quality of their life will be evident. This dialogue will undoubtedly slow things down. It will thicken the process; give layers and layers of detail to slick cities. It will give control to all those who partake in the city. Above all, operating as a single force we might gain control to steer the city in a distinct direction. This direction must be distinct, but will always be unclear. What you, the citizens will need or might want tomorrow is uncertain. The city must be able to respond to this uncertainty. Proposals for a context as dynamic as China must be able to grow and evolve after completion—if only so as not to impede their own development. The city must be able to adapt by anticipating the reality of constant change, acknowledged at every level by all parties. This is the dynamic city; the result of a dynamic process, based on research dialogue and foresight.

CHINA KEEP GROWING! BUT NOT LIKE THAT! I DON’T MEAN STOP! HURRY UP ALREADY! ONLY BETTER! Text/Adrian HORNSBY

1. CHINA KEEP GROWING! We’re in the midst of a global twister. America is on its knees begging for cash injections; banks are creaking, prices falling, and container ships bumping emptily against the docks. Yet China — one of the world’s most globalized nations — has explicitly stated that its “greatest contribution” to global stability will be to keep its own economy running smoothly. Essentially, when seas are high, it will look to home. There is good reason to believe this actually is in the world’s best interests. With the slowdown in the West, the global economy is increasingly reliant on China for maintaining some show of growth; and were China now to fall into a slump, it could roll the entire world off into a downward spiral. Fortunately though, the world is well assured. China’s growth, it is widely assumed, is dependable because it is not based on a single finite resource, such as oil (as in Russia), but on the continuing productivity gains of the Chinese workers. And why would they stop working, and gaining? A little more scrutiny however reveals a markedly more fragile picture. Over the last two decades, Chinese economic growth has been driven by a twin-burn engine, fueled on either side by urbanization and exports. Exports are now drying up. Against a fifteen year trend of 26% annual export growth, recession in the West has led in 2008 to a 2% fall in exports. Thus exports have become a drag, not a driver. At the same time, central government has become increasingly concerned about urban land acquisition. The last fifteen years have seen cities across China mushrooming to two and half times their size. Now fear of further loss of arable capacity has led to a stipulated minimum of 120 million hectares of farmland. Seeing as this is just about as much as there is now, cities are left with precious little room to grow into. The sudden drop off of exports and of urban expansion, taken together, constitutes a terrible double blow for the growth wave. The rapid urbanization model, formerly so dominant in transforming the physical and social landscapes of China, is now gagging on the prospect of no new land to develop, no investment capital with which to develop it, and no foreign markets to sell to once development is complete. It turns out that China’s growth, far from being resource-independent, was in fact heavily reliant

upon two distinct resources — resources which until recently people somehow assumed to be infinite. These were the affluence of the Western consumer, and the vastness of the Chinese nation. Right now, right when the world needs them most, they’re both looking disconcertingly exhausted..

2. BUT NOT LIKE THAT! In truth, this should have long been apparent given the fundamental unsustainability of the rapid-urbanization-export-maximizing attitude. Firstly, exports, in the greater scheme of things, ultimately have to balance. Over the last ten years and more China has been running a huge trade surplus with the US, exporting far more than it was importing, and stashing the dollar proceeds. The effect of this was to flood the US with cheap credit, thereby sustaining the boom, but only through supplying debt. And as any shopkeeper knows, you can’t keep on lending to your customers so that they can keep on buying your products. The current global financial crisis is in no small way an expression of precisely this — the necessary unwinding of impossible global imbalances. Secondly, imbalances were equally at work within China through the rapid urbanization component of the growth model. Again starting in the early nineties, central policies were introduced which incentivized local officials to boost GDP by acting entrepreneurially. This sparked a multi-scalar urban rush. The best means to grow local GDP was to stimulate urbanization, and the best way for local officials to raise the necessary capital to urbanize was to start selling the thing they had most of: land. Officials at every level across China acquired land, stripped it, and resold it in the form of use-rights to urban developers, using the cash to lay down promised infrastructure, and elaborate slick downtown masterplans. According to the principal of market reform, these operations were left largely to play themselves out, and assessed chiefly on the basis of reported GDP figures. The result was a chaotically atomized pan-China construction boom, with thousands of small and midsized cities exploding horizontally — or even summoning themselves into existence out of previously rural areas — competing frenetically for investment. Given the fiercely appetitive climate that was developing, fledgling cities entered into internecine undercutting wars, with land being offered to industry at cheaper and

cheaper rates, with more and more favorable tax packaging, and with fewer and fewer regulatory constraints. What followed was exorbitant land consumption in largely unstructured patterns, notwithstanding more stringent regulations, planning and building quality remains dire. Protected by sweetheart deals with local officials, factory bosses were able to run amok, largely unbeholden either to central planning schemes or to market realities. Sure enough they produced cheap exports, but the resultant macrostructures were characterized by local protectionism, and riddled with land abuses. A stark demonstration of this comes from the people who formerly held the land themselves. In 2007 80,000 large-scale protests were officially recorded across China: more than 10x the figure for 1992. Over half of these were directly related to land issues. Things couldn’t just continue.

3. I’M NOT SAYING STOP! Yet what makes the atomized urbanization model so essentially ill-suited to post-Olympic China is a fundamental structural confusion. At the same time that policies encouraged ubiquitous locallevel bureaucratic entrepreneurialism, there was an inherent bias toward the megacities. The Shanghai-model of the urbanizing ‘90s, pioneered by former Shanghai bosses Jiang Zemin and Zhu Rongji, inevitably favored the coastal Special Economic Zones (SEZs). These areas were able to use their peculiar export and import status, as well as their superior level of global recognition, to leverage more foreign investment, and thus outpace the brawling rabble of interior cities. A further structural advantage was awarded the megacities in their ability to attract human capital, both from within China’s pool of freshly mobile graduates, and even internationally as the megacities became global cosmopolitan centers. It is on this issue of migration that urban incoherencies become most apparent. The continuing existence, if under terms of somewhat mitigated relaxation, of the hukou system, ensured the continuing restriction of rural to urban migration. Thus while national growth efforts favored the urban poles, urbanizing migrants were encouraged to leave the village but not the countryside, creating to high levels of intraprovincial migration, and a massive pool of floating migrants. Existing in a regulatory grey area, the floating migrants remain urbanites of the least stable kind — a rolling component

within the population, who greatly contribute to the city, yet are barred from integrating into its essential fabric. Unstable migration of this kind has deleterious effects upon city growth in two key ways. Firstly, necessarily uncommitted to the temporary situation in which they find themselves, temporary migrants exhibit much lower levels of personal or financial investment in their immediate surroundings. Without committed residents, local environments tend to degenerate toward substandard living conditions, which are more readily tolerated as they are regarded as short-term. Crucially however, while they are short-term for the floating migrant, they are on the ground realities for the growing city. And thus the city suffers. Secondly, the financial investments which floating migrants are not making into the urban environment are instead being diverted, in the form of remittances, to places which are regarded as more permanent — i.e. the migrants’ point of origin. The result of this is that capital generated through urban productivity is leaking out of the city, rather than funding its growth, and flowing into the village. Thus the place most deserving of investment (i.e. where money is actually being made, and therefore where more money should go to further development) is starved of cash. Not only is this backwards conceptually, but it is made all the more desperate by the fact that migration levels, far from slackening, are set to accelerate over the coming period. While previously the urban population was significantly swollen by the physical act of cities swelling, and thus engulfing formerly rural populations, future city growth is likely to come primarily from a rural influx. Midsize cities can expect 40–50% of their future populations to comprise of migrants. Can these all have such temporary expectations? What would it mean for a city to have up to half of its population regarding itself as not truly living there at all? 4. HURRY UP ALREADY! The oncoming wave of migrants constitutes for China its greatest challenge yet: graduating from the rampant ad hocism of the pre-Olympic urban boom, to a more sophisticated and sustainable post-Olympic urban society. This perforce will be less space extensive. It will also be more people intensive — with more people traveling into cities, arriving with greater expectations, and forming a larger incontrovertible presence.

China’s grand contribution to the world of keeping its own economy running smoothly will center upon its ability to manage this influx, and reorientate its growth. These are the two things it has to do. And fast.

5. ONLY GROW BETTER! The urbanization of the recent era (i.e. atomized development driven by rampant land acquisition and temporary populations) can be characterized as driving forward on five wheels. It was urbanizing everywhere all at once. This is exactly the form of unidirectional irrational exuberance that the global financial crisis has wiped out at a stroke. China’s 4.2 trillion RMB stimulus package however represents an end to such approaches. It is an explicit acknowledgement on the part of the central government that, if left to themselves, the five wheels would probably come off, and the whole barouche crashes into the ditch. The package is a guiding hand taking up the reins. Notably, the largest single component of the stimulus is investment in national infrastructure. The configuration of new road, rail and airport networks will inevitably enforce a rationalization of the tiering of cities according to their varying levels of connectivity. Even more significant will be the development of the national power grid, which will dictate the shape and weighting of future urban growth. Heavy industry may follow the route of on-site generation, locating itself ever further from the city at the end of a coaltruck road. Urban centers however, as they become more sophisticated and I.T. dependent, will increasingly be strung together and suspended from the cross-weave of power lines. Central engagement in the distribution of these lines and power stations will to a large extent assume the hitherto missing role of national and regional planning. At the lower level, engaging users with the emerging urban property market will be the principle route to improved urban integration. The atomization model encouraged fervid competition among cities, with all the concomitant volatility and shortsightedness of a new market. However, given the level of control exercised by local officials and state-owned banks over the actual land deals and investment structures involved, the market within cities, from the point of view of the urban resident, was in fact excessively constrained. Shifting the emphasis of where

market freedoms take place from competition among urban nodes to competition for urban space, will bring the consumer into play, and form a second, this time “invisible”, guiding hand. Rather than a market composed of local officials flogging GDP area-figures, the real competition in post-Olympic urban China will take place among actual apartments, shops, offices, recreational and cultural spaces etc. On this floor, the key actors become the people living in the city, and buying the program. Restructuring urban growth to be more demand-aligned will protect against future bubbles, and simultaneously capture more residential investment capital. An important move in this direction, and again part of the new measures, is to reduce mortgage down payment requirements from 30 to 20%. The more accessible the property entry level becomes, the greater the user response to urban development, and the lesser the role of the speculator (though too low and speculation rises again, as does risk of negative equity). A further and equally stimulating implication of this shift is to put more money into the pockets of consumers themselves. Cash formerly constrained within housing is freed up for urban retail, which is the one true bull market left unravaged by the global crisis. While Chinese exports are contracting, domestic consumption is strongly on the rise, with retail sales growing by 22% in 2008. This is all more encouraging for the fact that the Chinese consumer is a relatively small contributor to overall GDP (less than one quarter, against almost three quarters in the US), offering tantalizing room for significant further expansion. Indeed, it is the newly cash-flush consumer, fresh into the city which he now feels is his home, and in which he plans to spend his paycheck, who will carry the growth wave through. Getting him there is all that’s needed to shift growth from collapsing state-led export-orientated operations to consumer-led domestic-orientated sales. As the global twister sweeps its way east, the Chinese middle class urban shopper — with bags in one hand, and a real estate brochure in the other — stands right in its eye, staring up.

1. A Working Model?

4. Post-planning

A new town strategy has been adopted for the Beijing New Masterplan 2004-2020. Planning and design have been prepared prior to the Olympic Games. It was plotted by Beijing municipality that large-scale new town development would commence shortly after the Games, as part of a postOlympic economic stimulus. In fact, over a hundred new towns are being or about to be constructed in China. Needless to say how well this strategy is implemented will have great impact on social economical even political aspects. However, this top-down planning concept has long been criticized as hard to implement, even as utopian. The discrepancy between theory and practice manifests itself in most of the existing cases. That raises a serious question: how certain are we on the reliability of this model in the Chinese context?

In doing so, the nature of the new town dramatically changed to become top-down, rigid and out of touch with the market. The Chinese new-town however, by virtue of its political context, was able to align work and living much closer and for much longer than its western counterparts. In fact, the ‘moving out of the center’ policy is in effect still at the heart of the Beijing Masterplan 2004- 2020, to reduce the old center from 1.4 to 0.8 million inhabitants. More importantly, even though only 3 of the 40 initially planned satellites made it to fruition, this reasoning has been neatly adapted to become the bases for the 2020 plan under the name of the poly-centric model. The naturally scattered shapes Beijing has produced are retrofitted with a seemingly intentional plan to develop them into distinct sub-centers and satellites. The pro-active satellite model is in fact at the mercy of Beijing’s organic logic.

2. The Personal Satellite Suburban new town emerged as a selforganized activity initiated by pioneer social reformers, like R. OWEN and F. FOURIER in early 19th century, as the result of the individual efforts of an industrialist with good intentions for his employees. However, such individual attempts became the prototype for a popular urban model. By the time it came to be the Garden City initiated by E. HOWARD in early 20th century, it had evolved into something halfway between a public and private settlement. Although still individually initiated and financed, it aimed to serve the benefits of a mixed unknown group who would be attracted to the new town by its distinct qualities. In other words, the early adopters organized themselves by making a personal and free choice.

3. Tried and tested It is easy to imagine this early success was inspirational to planners and policy makers: if an individual could achieve this, a municipality with stronger financial and administrative power could naturally make the process easier. This was part of the reasoning that triggered a global new towns offensive in the fifties and sixties. Countries in Western Europe incorporated the new towns in their post-war reconstruction plans, as did Brazil and China too. Since 1958 Beijing planned to build 40 new towns (see table) to alleviate the booming center and scatter the distribution of industries. Though sometimes partially a success, globally the new towns suffered from their own ambition: to forcefully serve the will of people.

5. State-Market Hybrid The problems of empty office space and underused public facilities of the French and British new towns can be found across China. Taking Shanghai as an example, the construction of a dozen new towns started more or less in the same period in late 1990s. Each of them has been using suburban style housings as a strategy to attract inhabitants. A free market incentive in Chinese socialist market hybrid has resulted in over-saturation and mono-sprawl. It indicates the consequences of market-driven unintentional development within context of crude fast forward urbanization. We have reached the point that we need to give the new town its self-organizational character back. That is to say that the large-scale decentralization and re-agglomeration of urban functions and population should develop in relation to ‘free-market’ rule instead of trusting in ‘intentional manipulation’. Government agencies are actively fueling urbanizing, operating like market actors, but without the constraints of the inherent logic of the market. The traditional division in roles between public and private is lost, with essentially nonsensical urbanization as a result.

6. Dynamic Growth So what is the impetus of the public sector? Preemptive investment in public transportation, roads and facilities is a burden that a municipality can not, and should not have to carry. The imbalance in China - illustrated by busy cities without connecting roads on the one hand, and fully equipped cities without

people on the other - needs to be restored. In different developing phases, a new town will have different competitive advantages for different target groups. In the case of Dutch new town Almere, in the early stages, most of the early settlers considered better housing as the most important attraction of the new city; social life still heavily depended on its parental city Amsterdam. As city progressed and societal development needed to keep pace, it successfully delivered a mixed fully functional stylish new center. It shows that the foundations of a new town need to be firstly and gradually laid down, before a certain ‘critical mass’ (Charles Landry) can be achieved. Critical mass is concerned with the achievement of appropriate thresholds which allow activity to take off, reinforce itself and cluster. Secondly, as the precise time of ensuing steps are unpredictable, planning needs to follow the rules of ‘dynamic growth’ and ‘supply-ondemand’. That means that a plan or design is flexible, editable, and open to change. When the artificial pressure to develop is lifted from the Chinese new towns in post-Olympic phase, this issue deserves our primary attention. This concerns practical quantitative and qualitative questions of the fundamental nature of polycentric model, such as the optimal distance from the parental city and a new town; population size, land use pattern, zoning regulation.

7. Organic Reality For the first question, the challenge is to safeguard natural areas and prevent urban areas from merging. However, is that a feasible concept? We can address this question by looking at ‘self-organization’ theories which adhere to the character of a complex system. The Complex System theory applies in many disciplines, such as economy, physics, biology, cognitive and artificial intelligence, sociology and evolutionary studies. The qualitative definition can be that ‘complexity is situated in between order and disorder’; ‘two or more distinct components that are connected in such a way that they are difficult to separate’ (Francis HEYLIGHEN). Each component in such a system is interacting with others, adapting to an external environment with self-organization as a result of the internal dynamics. Translated into urban scheme, it suggests that each individual is a planner, and his decision is the result of interaction with others; each urban development is a process of self-organization, which is always naturally trying to connect its internal structure to the external environment. Simply put, a new urban area wants to connect with the existing urban fabrics in order to

take the available advantages. In this sense, separating a new town from an existing city is to a large degree in denial of self-organizational rules, as the interaction, continuation and interdependencies are deliberately cut off.

8. Bottom-down, Top-up However, not all organic growth in the city is desirable; neither all self-organization correct. There is a need to safeguard the ‘collective good’. One of the important characters of self-organization is its ‘trail-and-error’ trademarks - characteristic of the formation of the Asian Tigers of the early nineties. Dense, and often admired for their remarkable resilience they reveal short-comings on a collective and individual scale, that a good planning framework could have circumvented. Interestingly enough, in contemporary China, although the top-down planning appears to be strong, market development is often unbridled and chaotic. Compared to countries like Holland and Germany, it means planning in China does not yet function as an effective tool to coordinate market-driven self-organization. Notable examples in Beijing are the eaten up of the planned ‘green-belt’ and the erection of Financial Street at the western end of Chang’an Avenue. Admittedly the relation between planning control and market force is still in a primal trail-and-error process itself. The balance between planned and unplanned; fixed and flexible is still unexplored. In developing Chinese cities, the top-down planning institutes and the diverse market actors are busy selforganizing, without a clear framework for communication or goals for the ‘collective good’. The dilemma remains that the many rules remain obscure, self-contradicting and can still be bended, while reasonable requests and suggestions by individual actors are confronted by masterplans made behind closed-doors. Evidently there is a need for a revolution of the planning system itself.

9. [2CP] One essential alteration should be improving public-private partnership (PPP). The concept itself is familiar, but the concrete and effective methodology is still under research even in western societies. However it is of special importance for urban China because this planning issue closely correlates with the current social and political reform calling for stronger transparency and democracy in government management. Apparently, publicprivate partnership is different from the simple juxtaposition of top-down and bottom-up, but rather it emphases the efficient interaction linking the two sides. It confirms the positive

role that an authority can play as coordinator; at the same time it requires more freedom for various stakeholders to pursuit its own optimal benefit through self-organization. The concept can be described as 2CP: Communicative Planning; Collaborative Planning.

10. Talking Cities How communication can be effective and efficient relies on both spatial and managerial tools at the hands of by planners and decisionmakers. Taking new town planning as an example, instead of the current hierarchical relationship between different actors, it should be an open process involving interactions in different stages. We can conceive of a new planning and decision making structure for the production of new town masterplans (see diagram). The current planning communication in China is improving but is still far from functional. Plans are rather reluctantly revealed in publications or on internet without the intentions of adapting it according to feedback. Productive interaction actually requires new skills from planners. They should be ready and keen on explaining plans and designs to others, including layman. This means policymakers need to learn to be good listeners and adopt the role of negotiator. Especially in the case of new towns, such active communication can give a boost to city promoting and attract private investors and trigger a sense of belonging with newcomers.

11. From Static Image to Flexible Concept Meanwhile, spatial plans should become the materials on which the dialogue is based. They will need to become more communicable. In general it means these drawings should become easier to interpret; more adaptable and flexible to changes. Instead of a masterplan which contains extensive research and analysis, a more flexible format or Strategic Plan should be adopted. The latter intends to contain only the main strategies and principles, main locations, phasing plan and types of intervention. It is usually illustrated in a more indicative and expressive way rather than detailed and designed. There are several ways to achieve flexibility, for example, by designing only the fixed elements (usually infrastructure and public facilities) and leave the rest open to smaller plot orientated design initiatives; by designing as many alternative plans as possible for the choice of end-users; by designing a group of urban typologies and leave the final result of collage to the interaction between actors, and by integrating urban design criteria into a zoning plan. All

these suggested concepts need to be put into practice in Chinese urban context, in order to find the most effective and applicable ways to implement.

12. Chinese medicine We can conclude that planning remains an essential tool to tackle market failures. However, the rules of the game call for improvement. Ironically we can suggest China should make a shift away from Western medicine to Chinese medicine to heal the city. Depending less on crude single-minded, topdown aggressive interventions such as the Olympics, and instead more on an approach of broad self-diagnosing and the individualized holistic approach of Chinese medicine. Publicprivate partnership is part of such a Chinese recipe. On a broader scale, Beijing’s ‘big pancake’ needs to be weighted against new centralities in the Greater Beijing Metropolitan Area, even in the larger Jing-Hu transprovincial region. When a serious malfunction does occur, such as in case of Beijing’s its traffic congestion, deterioration of urban environment, lack of available land and water resources etc. then a strong and clear public planning intervention can be performed.

13. Super Satellites There are so-called successful new towns; in Beijing namely Tongzhou and Yizhuang. Located just 15-20 kilometers away from center to center and with no more than 5 kilometers of open space to separate them from the city, they already suffer from the proliferation of urban sprawl. Yet if we choose to accept the main principles of the new town as desirable and feasible, then technical problems during execution can be gradually solved by the suggested ‘Chinese medicine’ method. The new town, is the most popular component of Chinese urbanization yet requires the most careful and sophisticated balance of market incentives and regulation to succeed. In addition the procedures of creating new towns need to encompass the challenges that China’s economical structure faces as a whole; to harness the self-organizational principles without loosing sight of the common good. As such New Towns planning challenges the very foundation of China’s planning culture. Finally the model itself needs a radical makeover in relative positioning spatial constitution, social mix, and phasability. It means since we choose the satellite as a planning tool, we will need to design and develop high quality Super Satellites.

URBAN NARCOTICS IN BOOMTOWN CHINA Text/William TAN + Ting-Ting ZHANG We see in the past decade of economic boom a phenomenon whereby city-building is reduced to a business venture. Attracting foreign investments becomes the sole purpose of developing a city, bureaucrats posing as businessmen and the cities branded and packaged as commodities: Bilbao, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Hyderabad. The governments of these states move swiftly from a model of providing basic social, legal, economic security for citizen’s pursuit of happiness to a technocratic, profit-minded amoral corporate entity. This results in a unique style of governance – a new kind of state different from the Western politics where the state acts as ‘a referee of competing interest groups’ and different from the Marxist definition where state is a tool of ruling economic class – a business-oriented authoritarianism. This phenomenon can be called 'Boomtown effect' and these cities 'Boomtowns'. Boomtown-making is a singularly technocratic process - every aspect of urbanism and society is appraised through managerial, logistical or technological lenses. In this time-space compressed globalizing world economy, city planning becomes a business development exercise to attract the limited resources (material, financial and human) that roam swiftly and freely in search for investment opportunities. Boomtown has an authoritarian political power that allows it to reorganize and standardize its entire productive social and financial capital into ‘assembly lines’ that meet the demands of the targeted market objective. Many Chinese cities are developing singularly by attracting and utilizing foreign investments. The incredible speed of these developments and their gargantuan scales will have unique physical, social and political consequences that can hardly be foreseen. The purpose of this article attempts to examine Singapore's unique situation, to draw parallel lessons from the making of the city-state and to envisage possible outcomes of Chinese developments, while accepting shortcomings of such speculative explorations. Why Singapore? Singapore is arguably one of the first Asian cities (if not one of the world's first city) to have successfully mastered the Boomtown method of city-making. Its brand of technocratic hegemony utilizes a micro-management method that blends Fordist-Taylorist methods with Asian social morality to create a systematically controlled and complacent citizenry so that national resources and popular sentiments can be effectively mobilized. More importantly Singapore's ethnic composition and the economic-development based urban development have many similarities with Chinese cities and we believe will provide a good future subjunctive for its Chinese counterparts. From Singapore's independence in 1965, one of the main identities the city-state uses to attract foreign investments is good environmental, hygiene and health standards and the city's urbanism has been systematically altered to furthering this “Clean and Green” marketing strategy. Gardens, parks and green pockets are linked with street-side pastures and tree-laced park lanes. This green image is an important basis of Singapore's attraction and this becomes a great pull factor for investors and visitors alike. Chinese cities must understand that instant

urbanization without long-term environmental, social and cultural development plans is not sustainable and will eventually have adverse effect on the economy.

Learning from Singapore? In Singapore any building no longer in the latest masterplan is demolished. The entire city is tiled and re-tiled, paved and re-paved regularly to upkeep the sleek look of efficiency. Its highly effective modern urbanism is designed to provide the vital infrastructure for foreign-investment. Not unlike Beijing, the well-pruned roads networks are monitored by vast CCTV systems that scrutinize and analyze traffic conditions and dispatch accident recovery where necessary. A punctual and reliable public transport system of subway trains and buses that link the entire city is supported locally by ‘feeder’ buses that transport commuters from virtually their doorsteps to the town centers where they transfer to subways or express buses to their places of work. Covered walkways provide sun-shade for residents walking from their public high-rise housing to the bus-stops and car-parks; air-conditioned arcades connect office towers and shopping malls to each other so that consumers and office workers need not be exposed to the retarding equatorial heat. This may all sound like an ideal urban dream for many developing Chinese cities but mere physical accumulation of these urban features is not enough. Attention must be given to actual performance of such physical amenities and even more care should be placed on social and environmental consequences of such urbanization at large. Case in point, the constant revision in Singapore’s urbanism removes all provenances of one’s past. While this ensures the presentation of a ‘well kept and renewed’ city-scape to wide-eyed foreigners, the society has nothing from the past to remember. It is not so much collective amnesia but a constant annihilation of the collective memory - a memory that in due course should become the backbone of the city’s spirit, pride and provenance. In Singapore, in addition to the constant erasure of the city’s physical record, its people are constantly driven forward, driven towards new professional destinations prescribed for them: manufacturing and engineering in the 70s, business administration in the 80s, bio-technology and banking in the 90s and presently, design and creative industry. Singapore's education system is altered for such economic themes. Those who have no affinity or aptitude for the 'industry-of-the-month' are often left behind. There is no unemployment benefit scheme in Singapore which leaves its people compromised en masse toiling after one-sided development.

Boomtown Contract? Boomtown technocratic hegemony requires a calibrated statesmanship and more importantly, business acumen. However, its success relies largely on the state's ability to uphold an authoritarian grip on the society and the reduction of governance to the “winning formula” of continual financial prosperity and urbanization. In Boomtown there is no 'Social contract' 1 but a 'Boomtown contract' 2 between the

state and the people: a wealth for political consensus that started with a general consensus for wealth.

with Disneyfied themes such as “New England” style single-family-housing.

A Boomtown can usually be identified with these distinctive features 1) An Economic-themed alter ego 2) Authoritarian government 3) Transplanted urbanism 4) Forced-fed Identity 5) An immediate past that is all too painful 6) State policies driven mainly by economic gain 7) Political apathy.

Boomtown - The Utopia??

Chinese cities in the Special Economic Zones (SEZs), Free-trade Zones, State-level Economic and Technological Zones and New and High-Tech Industrial Development Zones by virtue of their collective themed identities run the risk of becoming Boomtown cities. Chinese cities can announce themselves as 'foreign investment-ready' Boomtowns by following the trialed and tested ‘Ideal City Check list’ 3. The problem of quality and banality remains. Largescale traffic infrastructure, skyscrapers, buildings by famous architects, a new exposition center, monuments for tourism, a new performance arts center (to demonstrate a cultural dimension to the city), 'Beyond 5-Star' hotels, smog-free environments and Ferris Wheels 4 can all be built cheaply and quickly but since quality of these constructions are often overlooked, these urban features are merely signs and symbols of modernization that may have immediate visual impact but do not contribute to the legacy of the cities. Furthermore, such cookie cutter mode of city reproduction lacks the vital cultural reference that creates an attractive urban identity. There is no local precedence for the Chinese boomtown. The speed and scale by which Chinese boomtowns develop offer little time to develop localized solutions. Infrastructure, urban-planning and residential estates are designed by foreign consultants or local authorities that use templates loosely based on foreign models. Singapore in the 1970s and 1980s depended greatly on the import of urban models to upgrade its urbanism - from the Dutch Ring City (Randstad)5 model to decentralize the island and Le Corbusian high-rise for mass housing and is successful in appropriating these foreign urban and architectural models to suit its social and climatic needs. The use of ready-made urban methods is inevitable for newly developing cities, but Chinese cities must avoid ‘cutting-andpasting’ and adapt these imported models to their own context like Singapore did. Singapore was much blinded by the limelight of presenting a “modern and new” city-scape and was relentless in removing traces from its colonial past from its urbanism. Consequently when it was deemed necessary to conserve old district for touristic purposes in late 1980s, there was little left to preserve. With ample land, Chinese cities may not resort to demolishing culturally and historically important sites for new constructions. However Chinese urbanism will become template depositories for alien designs if cities are not careful with what are being built by both local and foreign developers. In this case, it is ironic that while Singapore offers Chinese cities the privilege of hindsight, in preserving their urban histories during the expansion and construction for the future, Singaporean developers should be constructing housing communities in China

One distinct problem of city-building purely from an economic standpoint is reducing matters of a humane and cultural nature into statistics and demographic data. This consumption-based planning sees the society only as 'income groups' with preconceived 'lifestyles' to cater for. However there is no prior native middle-class culture for planners and designers to take reference from. In fact the newly-minted Chinese middle-class may find that their immediate history of economic deprivation cannot be forgotten soon enough and therefore often find themselves having inflated and misguided expectations and aspirations towards all things foreign. To create a successful Boomtown, it is imperative that everything about the city be primed for economic activities. The state has to implement political, fiscal and legislative policies tuned to attract investments. Being a labor-intensive exercise, citizens have to participate fully for this development to be successful. In this case, there need be very little convincing for the citizens to comply with the state policies. Unlike abstract political utopias, economic prosperity is a convincing ideology to solicit a following. Boomtown citizens find it easier to agree with state policies once they think these policies ultimately benefit them even if they do not have immediate appeal. Since Boomtown government focuses on economic development and ‘modernization’, all policies can be alluded to economic development and stability. Once everyone is used to the comfort of urbanization and has accumulated reasonable wealth, opportunity costs of dissent become greater: Unlawful arrests of political dissidents of no relation to oneself is easier to ignore when one has a well-paid office job, lives in a gated community and drives a brand new imported car than when being underpaid, living in low-standard housing and having no access to material goods

Boomtown is a political narcotic. In Singapore, rising wealth and an illiberal internal security act compel the general populace to believe they can only gain from supporting the hegemonic control of the state. The Phantasmagoria of Boomtown convinces the first generation of Boomtown citizens to give in to the state for better living standards. Current generation of Singapore citizens inherited their parents’ addiction to Boomtown narcotics. Having been born into this addiction and educated to believe there is no better alternative for the society, they have little motivation to work harder for the society - they become thorough followers of Boomtown ideology. This is the political neutering effect of Boomtown contract. This neutering process unfortunately removes not only the political will but also the entrepreneurial will. In recent years, Singaporeans’ lack in initiative is reducing the country’s responsiveness to global trends and thus reducing its ability to compete with upcoming markets in Asia. The government is trying hard now to amend such lack of social impetus and imagination in the people by organizing public campaigns to bring importance and awareness to

“Creative Industry and Arts”. Developing China’s cities citizens and government alike may learn from Singapore’s predicament - state policies when treated as 'ideology du jour' to meet only economic goals or as socio-political tools to engineer the society may ultimately impair the people and the state alike. Economic liberalization in China prompted a renewed trust in the government, this trust is a great social capital that can either be a strength to these Chinese cities’ development but it can also be easily abused. Developing Chinese cities must consciously preserve the cultural and social wealth of being in a large and heterogeneous country. Policies that evolve with constant dialog between diverse representatives of the society – in their varied ambitions, talents and aptitudes may prevent one-dimensional development like that in Singapore. Boomtown’s living standards and economic opportunities attract migrants who aspire to Boomtown life and are willing to subscribe to the Boomtown contract. Migrants moving to Singapore may come from adjacent Southeast Asian and Australasian countries which are worse off in political or economic conditions. Migrants may also be wellheeled professionals or oligarchs from countries such as India or Russia who find ownership of a Singaporean passport more travel-friendly than American passports nowadays. On the other end of the migration cycle, citizens of Boomtowns who do not wish to subscribe to Boomtown Contract can leave their native cities. In Singapore, individuals whose aptitude lie in professions that are not preferred by the state (which recently include creative industry and performing arts) have to seek greener pastures abroad. Individuals who do not agree with the ruling party’s governance but find no avenues for political dialog would also seek residences in other countries. This transfusion of Boomtown seekers and quitters creates a self-censorship – "if you don't like the theme you needn't join"; "if you don’t like Boomtown, you should leave".

Nothing is Free in the Free Market? The spectacle of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing is China’s proclamation of no longer being a “sleeping dragon,” but an international power to be reckoned with. The media success of this proclamation will produce a stronger urge from the people to be coached into a more powerful Boomtown formula as they will seek quicker financial gratification. It is possible that the newly initiated Chinese (into this capitalistic mode) may na?vely assume Boomtown to have the best of both worlds – a “free for all, grab all you want” economy and expect the state to facilitate their private economic pursuits and catch them when they fall. Developing Chinese cities need to cultivate from their rich tradition a modern cultural and social scaffold to support their mercantile growth and contemporary life. At present the new financial elite can only rely on Western imageries they absorbed keenly when they are receiving education abroad or from advertisements of luxury goods to fashion their lifestyle and social disposition. This mimicry can only result in a disingenuous borrowed culture. However, if governments of these developing Chinese cities continue to encourage native social and professional

diversity as mentioned earlier, this social character will bear the hallmarks of native culture and not just a borrowed one.

What then for fast-tracked Chinese cities?? It may not be hard to make an argument for Chinese planners to take a more cautious and pluralistic view on their development plans. Besides understanding that pluralistic social policies drafted with public opinions are more economically and politically sustainable6, developing cities in China must see the adverse effect of repeating centrally designed urban plans. These pre-packaged formulae may get quicker authority approval and faster response from foreign investors but they are not carefully designed to suit these Chinese cities’ varied social and cultural needs. Growth must not be measured by the immediacy of economic success but also through sustainable sociopolitical development. Imported urban models and development proposals (from Chinese institutions or foreign firms) must be calibrated to meet local social needs so that these developments can truly improve the citizens’ lives. A government that tries to meet the people’s need and actual improvements to quality of life of the populace can only build a stronger society, economy and consequently a stronger China. Ironically, the party that is harder to convince of the downside of blinkered Boomtown developments are the citizens themselves. The extraordinary success of Chinese economy is in no minute part contributed by the pragmatic and industrious nature of the Chinese people. So, how does one prevent these people from suffering a “Refeeding Syndrome” – a material excessiveness as a result of a sudden reinstitution into a financially abundant system after such prolonged material starvation? How does one explain intangible ideas of cultural dignity and identity, when the temptation of tangible and marked elevation of their living standards is so huge? While we can propose to the state alternative plans of development and even alternative method of sustained hegemony that prevent the creation of Boomtowns, what alternative can we give to Chinese citizens that can better the prospect of quick wealth and material comforts? What proposition can one conjure that will pre-empt the people of developing Chinese from falling into social coma after working so hard and so long towards their country’s economic awakening? From the success story of Singapore, China will learn that environmental care and meticulous urban planning are vital to create a platform for economic excellence. Singapore’s civic and cultural inefficiency that comes from an economic biased society demonstrates that there social sustainability is as important (if not more important) as the speed of physical and financial growth. Developing Chinese cities will also learn that urban, social and cultural heterogeneity affects the longevity of a city's development. If Chinese cities are built with strong and modern local identity that allows and encourages social participation, they may ultimately have the efficiency of Singapore and the cultural wealth that it has not.
