Predictions about the Cities of the Future

Cities are built to survive and prosper. Over the years, we have learned to transform our surroundings according to our needs. We have cut through mountains to make more land and created artificial islands to make skyscrapers. City planning, as an organized profession, has existed for less than a century. However, a considerable amount of evidence (both archaeological and historical) proves the existence of fully planned cities in ancient times. Over the years, humans have made some mistakes in terms of using an excessive amount of resources for cities. This gives rise to the question of how sustainable the cities of the future would be. We might be looking at smart cities in which street lights would only switch on when you are close by and traffic light would be eliminated by smart driving. The cities of the future would try to save our resources rather than deplete them. An example of an advanced city is Kansas. Plans are in place to make Kansas a smart futuristic city in the future. Planners are considering introducing sensors to monitor the water mains. Warning would be issued to city officials when the infrastructure requires repair or replacement. In this way, the city would never be at risk of having broken pipes. While the idea sounds fantastic, a large amount of rational critique has called this plan an oversold dream. Amy Glasmier is an urban planning professor at MIT. She is a smart city skeptic who believes that all the research and talk is great but gravely oversold.

Question: City planning is thought_______.

A. to have become a profession for about a hundred years

B. to have existed professionally since ancient times

C. to have come into existence to transform nature

D. to make more land and created artificial islands to make skyscrapers

Large cities often have problems that small towns and rural areas do not have. Two of the biggest problems are heavy traffic and the pollution that cars create. Of course. Traffic problems and pollution are not only found in big cities. However, the higher populations and larger number of cars on the roads in cities can make the problems happen more often and with more noticeable effects.

One of the most common traffic problems the large cities have is congestion. As the population of a city increases, so does the number of cars on the road. Cities cannot always improve the number and size of their roads and highways to keep up with the number of cars. The result is traffic congestion, or traffic jams.

When traffic jams happen, cars that are stuck in the congestion continue to run their engines. This creates pollution and is a big problems. Pollution causes health problems for the people in cities and also hurts the environment.

The high number of cars is caused by __________.

 

A.the population

B.urban planning

C.traffic congestion

D.environmental pollution

How can we solve the problem of traffic jams in big cities? Governments have built highways, offered public transportation, etc. However, these traditional approaches are becoming expensive. Many experts now see intelligent transportation systems (ITS) as the solution. But how does ITS work?

Using information technology (IT), intelligent vehicles and infrastructure broadcast and receive data from sensors, video cameras, radar, and satellites, etc. to improve traffic quality. Drivers receive messages on computers or mobile devices about accidents, travel times, alternative routes, and the like. These allow drivers to make better decisions.

Managers of transportation infrastructure (roads, bridges, train stations, traffic signals, etc.) receive ITS data, then use it to control the system by changing traffic signal timing, broadcasting radio announcements, opening and closing roads and traffic lanes, responding to accidents and the like. Computers, rather than humans, make most of the decisions that control the system.

Cities Get Clean by Going Green

When people hear the word “city”, they usually imagine concrete, neon signs, and lots of air pollution. Thanks to some clever and concerned architects, this image is starting to change. The concept of green cities aims to bring some beauty from rural environments into urban areas. It is not only about looking better though. Green cities are also trying to improve the efficiency of cities and raise the standard of living for people who stay in them.

The term “green cities” refers to cities where builders take into account several environmental factors before that city is constructed or redesigned. For starters, green cities are designed to be more physically appealing than traditional cities from the past. In addition, the mobility of citizens should be considered, so public transportation can be more convenient and travel time to work can be reduced. Energy sources should also be evaluated with the goal of minimizing air pollution.

When it comes to going green, the city of Barcelona is far ahead of its time. Since 1859, its designers have consciously tried to create sustainable urban designs. Then in 1992, the city received a well-deserved makeover before hosting the Olympic Games. In recent years, Barcelona has upgraded its transportation system. This has reduced air pollution as more and more workers are using public transportation instead of their own vehicles. Barcelona also boasts one of the best recycling programmes in the world. Visitors will find clear, colour-coded trash bins throughout the city where they can put all of their materials.

It is no secret in Portland, Oregon is one of the greenest cities in the US. Since 1903, it has been an example of what American cities can accomplish with careful planning. Instead of filling its area with office buildings, Portland has plenty of green space for activities. There are 119 kilometres of running, hiking, and bike trails that allow citizens to experience the great outdoors. The city also offers residents creative energy plans that give them the opportunity to pay a bit extra for clean energy sources. For about $3 to $9 extra each month, homeowners can choose solar or wind power and help the environment.

These are only a small sampling of the green cities around .the world. As more people experience the pleasure of visiting green cities, it seems certain that the trend of urban areas going green will continue far into the future

How does the author seem to feel about the future of green cities? 

A. Green cities are too expensive to build in most countries

B. Few people have interest in living in a green city

C. The best green cities in the world are in North America

D. We should continue to see more green cities being built each year

Những thành phố trong sạch hơn bằng việc “xanh hóa”

Khi mọi người nghe đến từ “thành phố”, họ thường hình dung ra bê tông cốt thép, biển hiệu đèn neon, và ô nhiễm không khí nghiêm trọng. Nhờ vào những kiến trúc sư tận tâm và thông minh, hình ảnh này đang bắt đầu thay đổi. Khái niệm về thành phố xanh dựa trên mục đích mang vẻ đẹp môi trường thôn quê đến với khu vực đô thị. Nó không chỉ đơn thuần là việc thành phố trông đẹp hơn. Mà những thành phố xanh này đang cố gắng cải thiện hiệu suất làm việc và tăng mức sống cho người dân ở đây.

Thuật ngữ “thành phố xanh” ám chỉ đến những thành phố mà những nhà xây dựng phải tính toán đến các yếu tố môi trường trước khi thành phố được xây dựng hoặc tái thiết kế. Trước hết, những thành phố xanh được thiết kế cảnh quan hấp dẫn hơn những thành phố truyền thống trong quá khứ. Thêm vào đó, sự đi lại thuận lợi của công dân cũng được cân nhắc, vì vậy giao thông công cộng có thể trở nên thuận tiện hơn và thời gian đi đến nơi làm việc có thể được rút ngắn. Các nguồn năng lượng cũng được tính toán với mục tiêu giảm thiểu ô nhiễm không khí.

Khi nhắc đến “sống xanh”, thành phố Barcelona đã tiến xa vượt bậc trong lĩnh vực này. Kể từ năm 1859, những nhà thiết kế thành phố đã cố gắng tạo ta những thiết kế đô thị bền vững. Sau đó vào năm 1992, thành phố đã đạt được sự thay đổi xứng đáng trước khi đăng cai tổ chức Thế vận hội. Trong những năm gần đây, Barcelona đã nâng cấp hệ thống giao thông. Điều này làm giảm thiểu ô nhiễm không khí bởi vì ngày càng nhiều người lao động sử dụng phương tiện công cộng thay vì phương tiện cá nhân của chính họ. Barcelona cũng tăng cường một trong các dự án tái chế tốt nhất trên thế giới. Du khách sẽ tìm thấy những thùng rác sạch sẽ có mã được tô màu (mỗi thùng đựng một loại rác khác nhau sẽ có màu khác nhau) khắp thành phố để họ có thể vứt rác vào đó.

Có một điều hiển nhiên ở Portland, Oregon là một trong những thành phố xanh nhất ở Mỹ. Kể từ năm 1903, nó đã là một điển hình về việc những thành phố ở Mỹ có thể đạt được những gì bằng việc lên kế hoạch cẩn thận. Thay vì lấp đầy khu vực bằng các tòa nhà văn phòng, Portland lại có vô vàng những không gian xanh cho các hoạt động. Có đến 119 km đường dành cho chạy, đi bộ và đi xe đạp, cho phép cư dân được trải nghiệm không gian ngoài trời tuyệt vời. Thành phố cũng cung cấp cho người dân các kế hoạch năng lượng sáng tạo để trao cho họ cơ hội trả thêm một ít tiền cho các nguồn năng lượng sạch. Với khoảng từ 3 đô la đến 9 đô la thêm vào mỗi tháng, chủ nhà có thể chọn dùng năng lượng mặt trời hoặc năng lượng gió và giúp cải thiện môi trường.

Hiện chỉ có một số ít mô hình các thành phố xanh trên thế giới. Nhưng khi có nhiều người trải nghiệm được sự thoải mái khi thăm các thành phố xanh, thì dường như khá chắc chắn rằng xu hướng biến các khu vực đô thị thành không gian xanh sẽ tiếp tục tiến xa trong tương lai
