    【Urban Planning-02】

    At eight in the morning, the course exams started on time.

    The scene in front of everyone shook, and they appeared in a wide hall at the same time.

    There are many small parts similar to building blocks placed around the hall, with various colors and shapes. There is a sand table similar to the size of a football field. The sand table is empty and there are no buildings or green plants on it.

    The floating box in the upper right corner has swiped the row information——

    【Welcome to the "Urban Planning" examination room of the School of Geography】

    [The exam is limited to 8 hours, the sand table of the exam room corresponds to the human city, the zoom ratio of the map is 1000:1, and the area of ​​the city is 7000 square kilometers]

    [You need to name the city you build. Every road, every community, every garden, and every building must have a name. Please plan the urban layout reasonably within the specified time, and the final test score will be determined by the library after acceptance]

    【Exam will start soon】

    With the appearance of the last six words, a countdown box popped up on the LCD screen at the front of the hall, showing that the countdown was 08:00:00.

    Yue Xingwen quickly gathered his teammates around him: "The planning and design of the entire city is completed within a limited time of 8 hours. The time is very urgent. In the first hour, we will discuss the layout of the city and draw design drawings."

    Zhang Xiaonian took out a laser rangefinder to measure the sand table, and said: "The area of ​​this sand table is 7,000 square meters, and the 1 meter on the sand table represents 1,000 meters of the city. The proportion must be remembered, otherwise the construction will exceed the standard. "

    Jiang Pingce said: "First, give our city a name and make sure it is divided into several districts."

    Everyone began to think, and Yue Xingwen suggested: "How about calling Mingzhou? Simple, divided into four administrative regions: east, south, west, and north?"

    Qin "Lu" agreed: "The four districts are relatively neat and easy to plan."

    Yue Xingwen took out a piece of paper and asked Jiang Pingce to draw the picture.

    Jiang Pingce, who has loved mathematics since he was a child, can draw a very standard circle without a compass, and he does not need a ruler to draw a straight line. Yue Xingwen was very relieved to give him the drawing.

    Jiang Pingce quickly divided the picture into four pieces according to the meaning of Yuexingwen. The straight lines he drew with his freehand were just like those drawn with the aid of a ruler.

    Lan Yarong, who watched this scene, couldn't help but marvel: "Do the top students in the Mathematics Department have the ability to draw straight lines with their bare hands?"

    Qin "Lu" smiled and said, "Not sure, Pingce is the minority."

    Yue Xingwen looked at the four districts that Jiang Ping had planned and said, "The names of the districts, let's think about it, I think the library score should take into account our intentions. If we directly call Chengbei District, Chengxi District, Chengdong District will definitely not get a high score."

    Qin "Lu" made a suggestion: "The city is on the east side of the river, why not call it Binjiang District?"

    Qin Miao followed closely and said, "The side of the mountain on the west side, I think it can be called Qingyan District."

    Ke Shaobin raised his hand excitedly: "How about a high-tech zone in the north? Many cities have high-tech zones, which gather various high-tech emerging industries, as well as youth entrepreneurship incubators, etc. University towns can also be arranged here."

    Xu Yi smiled deeply: "Then the map in the south, Ma Pingchuan, is it simply called Pingyang District?"

    Discussing things with the schoolmasters was straightforward, and Yue Xingwen nodded his head in relief: "Okay, the names of the four administrative districts have been decided, Binjiang District, Qingyan District, High-tech District, and Pingyang District. Next, plan the road."

    Zhuo Feng said with a headache: "Does anyone here understand traffic planning?"

    Zhang Xiaonian raised his hand and suggested: "This city, looking at the top view of the sand table, has a relatively regular shape, and it is a rectangle like a football field. I think it is possible to draw a two-way eight-lane main road in the east-west and north-south directions, and then build a round-the-city expressway. When citizens travel long distances, they bypass the urban congested roads and go directly to the expressway.”

    Jiang Pingce said: "We have to draw a separate map for traffic planning. It's better to draw the eight main roads that crisscross, and then connect them with auxiliary roads and overpasses, and finally determine the entrances and exits of the expressway."

    Yue Xingwen looked back at him and said, "Pingce, traffic design, this task will be handed over to you?"

    Jiang Pingce simply said, "Yes."

    Zhuo Feng smiled: "It's right to build roads before planning! Only after the traffic is settled, can residential areas, life service areas, shopping malls, gardens, etc. be set up along the main road."

    Jiang Pingce nodded: "I'll draw the traffic network first." He frowned and looked at the sand table. Zhang Xiaonian had already marked the distance on the sand table. The distance between east and west was 100 meters, and the distance between north and south was 70 meters. That is, their city is 100 miles east-west and 70 miles north-south.

    Jiang Pingce painted while painting, and Yue Xingwen quickly took the name: "The one connecting the east and the west is called Jianshe Road, which is divided into two parts: Jianshe West Road and Jianshe East Road. The one connecting the north and the south is called Renmin Road, and it is divided into Renmin South Road and Renmin North Road. How about it?"

    Everyone: "..."

    Jianshe Road and Renmin Road are really roads that every city will have!

    Jiang Pingce marked the road, and everyone began to use his brain to think about the road names in his hometown and the city where the university is located. Eight Roads, Kunlun Road, Xinhua Road, Xiushui Road, Haihu Road , took a lot of names to install.

    There is no way, the library stipulates that they must name all the roads and buildings in the city, and it is really bald to name the difficult households.

    Half an hour later, Jiang Pingce's road plan was completed.

    The densely packed road, like a spider web, shocked everyone.

    In addition to the eight main roads running through the east, west, north and south, the main roads are connected by various relatively narrow roads, and the Ring Expressway surrounds and encloses the entire city from the periphery. If you go from the farthest south to the farthest north, you can take the expressway directly and bypass the inner city path to save time.

    The specification of the ring road is two-way, three-lane, and the maximum time limit is 120 km/h. The entrances and exits of the expressway are designed every 2 miles or so, and the traffic is diverted.

    Time is limited, and the traffic plan Jiang Pingce made based on the suggestions of his classmates is already the limit they can consider. In order to avoid road congestion during commuting hours, they also designed several empty overpasses on the main road to divert traffic.

    After completing the road planning, Yue Xingwen began to arrange tasks: "Zhang Xiaonian and Ke Shaobin, according to Pingce's traffic plan, go to the sand table to pave the road first, we must hurry up!"

    The two acted immediately.

    Zhang Xiaonian has a laser rangefinder in his hand, so don't worry about the accuracy. There are a lot of building block-shaped models around the sand table. The two quickly found a model of a gray surface road and began to lay them on the sand table according to the design drawings.

    Others began to plan the city's facilities.

    Zhuo Feng asked, "Should we build hospitals and schools first, or should we build residential quarters first?"

    Yue Xingwen thought about it and said, "First plan the supporting facilities such as hospitals, schools, and banks, and then take these as the heart, and plan the surrounding residential quarters to meet the needs of children going to school and residents' medical treatment."

    Lan Yarong said with a smile: "Don't forget the courts, procuratorate, municipal 'government', security bureau these 'government' agencies!"

    Everyone: "..."

    If you think about it carefully, there are really too many things to consider in order to plan a city reasonably. With the rapid development of domestic cities, the renovation of many old urban areas and the expansion of new urban areas require professional transportation, urban, environmental and architectural talents.

    Yes, the course "Urban Planning" in the Department of Geography requires the cooperation of students from various majors. We can learn from each other's strengths to complement each other's strengths and brainstorm in order to be "reasonable" and "perfect".

    Yue Xingwen was silent for a moment, and made a suggestion: "Why don't we do this, we design a building similar to the 'citizen's heart' in each administrative region, marriage registration, immigration management, pension medical insurance, household registration management, and real estate bureau. Wait, put together all these common service agencies, and let the citizens handle affairs."

    Zhuo Feng patted his thigh: "Good idea! Many big cities now have this kind of civic heart. There is no need to go to the document office to get a seal like before. If you want to do something, you can go directly to the civic heart, and everything can be solved."

    Zhang Xiaonian, who was paving the road in the distance, said positively: "A five-story building can be built, enough to accommodate various departments. The heart of the citizens of our hometown is a five-story building."

    Jiang Pingce suggested that the location of the citizens' hearts should be located in the heart of the four districts, and some wetland gardens should be built near the hearts of citizens, so that everyone can take a walk and exercise.

    Lan Yarong began to ponder the location of the security bureau, she said: "This city has four districts, and we need four security bureaus, plus a city bureau that is managed by the city. The city bureau will definitely cooperate with the city "government", the procuratorate and other agencies. Putting it all together, four sub-bureaus are built in four districts. In addition, each district must have a traffic police brigade..."

    Jiang Pingce copied a road plan and asked everyone to fill in the location on the map.

    Lan Yarong determined the location of the city's "government" offices in the heart of the city. Yue Xingwen confirmed the position of the citizens' hearts in the four districts. With the existence of the citizens' hearts, there is no need to create separate civil affairs bureaus, housing management bureaus and other institutions. All of them are centralized, saving time and effort.

    Followed by hospitals and schools.

    A city should have at least several large-scale comprehensive hospitals. Liu Zhaoqing suggested: "Build the largest comprehensive people's hospital in the city center; build a mental hospital and an infectious disease hospital in the suburbs. It’s almost the same as building a general hospital, and if there is spare space, we can also build a children’s hospital.”

    Qin Lu said: "On the north side of the city, we will build a university town according to Ke Shaobin's suggestion. However, how many universities do we want to build?"

    Yue Xingwen thought for a while and said, "The university town is almost built with 5 universities. After all, we are only a third-tier city. The key is primary schools and schools. I remember that there are a lot of primary schools and primary schools in our hometown, and there is a school almost every few streets. , Fang’s children go to school. Let’s think more about the school name, and build a few more high schools.”

    Everyone used their brains one after another, thinking of a lot of school names and writing them down on paper.

    Xu Yishen said: "Shiqi has been designated as a heavy school by you, and the school district housing in this area will definitely be very expensive!"

    Zhuo Feng also joked: "Our group of people who can't afford school district housing can now build their own school district housing. We decide where the school district is. It feels really cool."

    Yue Xingwen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

    Let them group laymen to build the city by themselves, and everyone is in a bit of a "chaos". However, whenever see teammates come up with fresh suggestions and choose a good name, that strange sense of accomplishment is really like giving birth to a baby by the Asian Acade of Sciences.

    A brand new city will be born in their hands, and everyone is excited to think here.

    Compared with the freezing glaciers before, the second course of the Department of Geography is really much more interesting.
