当下,全球城市化进度迅猛。本届上海世博会以“城市生活”为主题,可谓独具匠心。在这个城市人口超过人类总数一半的21世纪初叶,在这个城市化进程最迅猛的阶段,我们不禁要猜想:28年后,人类的生活将发生怎样的变化?哪些终将逝去?哪些即将到来?
1. Zero Waste
Rubbish disposal(处理) is one of the biggest headaches for cities. Besides the recyclable(可循环利用的) waste, everything is buried or burned, only to pollute the environment. Plastic waste remains underground for tens of years. In Beijing, people living in the Asuwei area turn their kitchen waste into organic fertilizers(有机肥) which are used to grow plants to make communities green.
洁净世界
垃圾处理是许多城市的顽疾之一。除了一些可循环利用的垃圾之外,其余废弃物都是通过填埋或燃烧的方式进行处理,这样一来势必会污染环境。塑料垃圾被深埋地下几十年都无法降解。在北京阿苏卫地区,人们将厨房垃圾转化成有机肥,用于小区绿化。
2. No More Transportation Problems During the Spring Festival
The Spring Festival, the most important Chinese holiday, when everyone returns home, has caused headaches for millions of Chinese. More than 2 billion(十亿) people travel at the same time, making getting travel tickets and the journey difficult. But in 28 years, the Spring Festival travel may not be a problem at all. China plans to have more than 120,000 kilometers of railway and a rapid transportation network(网络) that will serve 90% of the population by 2020. And because most of China will be cities, people will not have to go to other places to find a job, so migration(人口流动) will no longer be so large-scale(大规模的).
春运将成为历史
春节是中国人最重要的节日,人们纷纷返家过年,无数中国人为此头疼不已。超过20亿人次出行,造成“买票难,返乡难”的局面。但28年后,春运将不再是难题。到2020年,中国铁路营运里程将达到到12万公里以上,形成一个覆盖全国90%以上人口的快速客运网。到那时,中国大部分地区都已经是城市,人们不必到别处就业,这样一来就不会出现这样大规模的人口流动了。
