32、her One vision of the perfect city of the future: a place that offers easy access to air travel. In 2011, a University of North Carolina business professor named John Kasarda published a book called Aerotropolis: The Way Well Live Next. Kasarda says future cities should be built intentionally around

33、 or near airports. The idea, as he has put it, is to offer businesses rapid long-distance connectivity on a massive scale.B)The 18th century really was a waterbome （水运的)century, the 19th century a rail century. the 20th century a highway, car, truck century and the 21st century will increasingly be

34、an aviation century, as the globe becomes increasingly connected by air, Kasarda says Songdo, a city built from scratch in South Korea, is one of Kasardas prime examples. It has existed for just few years. From the get-go, it was designed on the basis of connectivity and competitiveness，“ says Kasad

35、a. The government built the bridge directly from the airport to Songdo international business district. And the surface infrastructure was built in tandem with the new airport.”C) Songdo is a stones throw from South Koreas Incheon Airport, its main international hub(枢纽). But it takes a lot more than

36、 a nearby airport to be a city of the future. Just building a place as an international business district doesnt mean it will become one. Park Yeon Soo conceived (构想) this city of the future back in 1986. He considers Songdo his baby. I am a visionary, he says. Thirty years after he imagined the cit

37、y, Parks baby is close to 70 percent built, with 36.000 people living in the business district and 90,000 residents in greater Songdo. Its about an hour outside Seoul, built on reclaimed tidal flats along the Yellow Sea, There s a coast Guard building and a tall trade tower, as well as a park, golf

38、course and university .D) Chances are you ve actually seen this place. Songdo appears in the most famous music video ever to come out of South Korea. Gangnam Style refers to the fashionable Gangnam district in Seoul. But some of the video was filmed in Songdo. I dont know if you remember, there was

39、a scene in a subway station. That was not Gangnam. That was actually Songdo, says Jung Won Son, a professor of urban development at Londons Bartlett School of Planning, Part of the reason to shoot there is that its new and nice .E) The city was supposed to be a hub for global companies, with employe

40、es from all over the world. But hats not how it has turned out. Songdo s reputation is as a futuristic ghost town. But the reality is more complicated. A bridge with big, light-blue loops leads into the business district. In the center of the main road theres a long line of flags of the world. On th

41、e comer, theres a Starbucks and a 7-Eleven-all of the international brands that you see all over the world nowadays.F) The city is not empty. There are mothers pushing strollers, old women with walkers even in the middle of the day. when its 90 degrees out. Byun Young-Jin chairs the Songdo real esta

42、te association and started selling property here when the first phase of the city opened in 2005. He says demand has boomed in the past couple of years. Most of his clients are Korean. In fact, the developer says, 99 percent of the homes here are sold to Koreans. Young families move here because the

43、 schools are great. And thats the problem: Songdo has become a popular Korean city more popular as a residential area than a business one Its not yet the futuristic international business hub that planners imagined. Its a great place to live. And its becoming a great place to work, says Scott Summer

G) Whats happened is, because we focused on creat

45、ing that quality of life first, which enabled the residents to live here, what has probably missed the mark is for companies to locate here, he says. There needs to be strong economic incentives. The city is still unfinished, and it feels a bit like a theme park. It doesn t feel all that futuristic.

46、 Theres a high-tech underground trash disposal system. Buildings are environmentally friendly. Everybodys television set is connected to a system that streams personalized language or exercise classes.H) But Star Trek this is not. And to some of the residents, Songdo feels hollow.

MI say Im prison-breaking on Friday nights. But she has to make the prison break inher own car. Theres no high-speed train connecting Songdo to SeouL just over 20 miles away.I) The man who first imagined Songdo feels frustrated，too. Park says he built South Korea aluxury vehicle, like Mercedes or BMW. Its a good car now. But were waiting for a good driverto accelerate- But ther
