A South Korean city designed for the future takes on a life of its own
A) Getting around a city is one thing -and then there's the matter of getting from one city to another 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 or near airports. The idea, as he has put it, is to offer businesses \B)\（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 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 Kasarda's prime examples. It has existed for just few years. From the get-go, it was designed on the basis of connectivity and competitiveness，“ says Kasada. 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 stone's throw from South Koreas Incheon Airport, its main international hub(枢纽). But it takes a lot more than a nearby airport to be a city of the future. Just building a place as an \doesn‘t mean it will become one. Park Yeon Soo conceived (构想) this city of the future back in 1986. He considers Songdo his baby. \he says. Thirty years after he imagined the city, Park's baby is close to 70 percent built, with 36.000 people living in the business district and 90,000 residents in greater Songdo. It's 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 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 don‘t know if you remember, there was a scene in a subway station. That was not Gangnam. That was actually Songdo, says Jung Won Son, a professor of urban development at London‘s Bartlett School of Planning, \nice .
E) The city was supposed to be a hub for global companies, with employees from all over the world. But hat's 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 there's a long line of flags of the world. On the comer, there‘s 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 it's 90 degrees out. Byun Young-Jin chairs the Songdo real estate 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 schools are great. And that's the problem: Songdo has become a popular Korean city more popular
