The bones of a city
- Infrastructure 基础设施 is the basic systems a city needs to function.
- It includes roads, water, power, sewers, and public transport.
- Without it, a city cannot house or serve its people.
城市的骨架
- 基础设施(infrastructure)是城市运转所需的基本系统。
- 它包括道路、供水、电力、下水道和公共交通。
- 没有它,城市无法容纳或服务其人民。
Roads, water, power, and public transit together are a city's... · 道路、水、电和公共交通共同构成城市的...
Infrastructure · 基础设施 is the basic systems a city needs to function. · 基础设施是城市正常运行所需的基本系统。
Select all · 所有 parts of urban infrastructure. · 选择所有城市基础设施组成部分。
Roads, water/sewers, and transit are infrastructure; rank-size is a size pattern. · 道路、水/下水道和公共交通是基础设施；等级规模是一种规模模式。
Transport shapes cities
- Good public transit 公共交通 lets a city grow without total car dependence.
- Transit-oriented development 公交导向开发 builds homes and shops around transit stops.
- Poor transport forces reliance on cars and worsens sprawl.
交通塑造城市
- 良好的公共交通(public transit)让城市在不完全依赖汽车的情况下增长。
- 公交导向开发(transit-oriented development)在交通站点周围建住宅和商店。
- 糟糕的交通迫使依赖汽车并加剧蔓延。
Helps compact growth or worsens sprawl? · 有助于紧凑增长还是加剧蔓延？
Sort each infrastructure choice by its effect on urban form. · 按其对城市形态的影响对每个基础设施选项进行排序。
Building only roads and no transit tends to increase urban sprawl. · 仅建道路而不建公共交通往往会增加城市蔓延。
Car-only infrastructure spreads cities outward. · 仅限汽车的基础设施会使城市向外扩张。
Building homes and shops around transit stops is called transit-oriented . · 围绕公交站点建设住宅和商业被称为公交导向型。
Transit-oriented development keeps cities compact. · 公交导向型开发保持城市紧凑。
Match each choice to its effect. · 将每个选项与其影响匹配。
Transit = compact; highways = sprawl; TOD = homes near stations. · 公共交通 = 紧凑；高速公路 = 蔓延；TOD = 车站附近的住房。
When infrastructure lags
- When a city grows faster than its infrastructure, problems pile up.
- Informal settlements may form where services cannot reach.
- Extending water, power, and roads to the sprawling edge is costly.
当基础设施滞后
- 当城市增长快于其基础设施时,问题堆积。
- 在服务无法到达的地方可能形成非正规住区。
- 把供水、电力和道路延伸到蔓延的边缘代价高昂。
Infrastructure is a hidden driver of urban form. Where transit is good, cities can grow compact; where only roads exist, they sprawl. Fast-growing cities often see infrastructure lag behind population, leaving new residents without water, power, or transport.
基础设施是城市形态的隐性驱动力。交通好的地方,城市可以紧凑增长;只有道路的地方,城市蔓延。快速增长的城市常常见到基础设施落后于人口,使新居民没有水、电或交通。
A city that invests in a metro system and builds housing around the stations (transit-oriented development) grows up, not out, and cuts car use. A city that builds only highways sprawls outward and locks residents into long car commutes.
一座投资地铁系统并在车站周围建住房(公交导向开发)的城市向上增长而非向外,减少汽车使用。一座只建高速公路的城市向外蔓延,把居民锁进漫长的汽车通勤。
Infrastructure (roads, water, power, sewers, public transit) lets a city function. Good transit and transit-oriented development keep cities compact; when infrastructure lags behind growth, informal settlements and sprawl result.
基础设施(道路、供水、电力、下水道、公共交通)让城市运转。良好的交通和公交导向开发使城市紧凑;当基础设施落后于增长时,导致非正规住区和蔓延。
