How to understand "city makes life better"!

Most of us here live in cities. In fact, the process of human civilization is also a process of urbanization in a sense. China is experiencing an unprecedented large-scale urbanization process, and even it will take decades to complete the historical process that Europe took hundreds or even two hundred years to complete. Therefore, it is particularly meaningful to discuss how the city can make life better in China.

When we are in a city, we can naturally feel its convenience and prosperity. We can go to different places and taste snacks from different regions. We can get an education, go to the theatre and go to the movies. I think the convenience brought by city life is beyond doubt. At the same time, we will complain about the air and traffic congestion in the city. These problems are very prominent and urgent problems facing the world. The theme of this World Expo is "Better City, Better Life", which conforms to the reality of China and is also a concern of the world. In fact, different countries have a lot of experience to learn from in the process of urban planning, especially in urban planning. At the same time, many practices being carried out in China will be good examples for other countries to learn from in the future.

For example, how to develop public transportation? For example, regarding the new urban immigrants, how to avoid the ecological and life crisis brought by the slum problem in some developing countries. There are also environmental protection issues. As a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, I also wrote a proposal last year, that is, in the process of urbanization, environmental protection standards for buildings should be introduced as soon as possible. This is of great practical significance. This year, we are glad to see that the government and public institutions have begun to implement environmental standards first. I think this is a good start. In fact, I also look at the World Expo to be held next year with many questions and full of curiosity. There are many answers to how cities can make life better.

Gute experts attended the strategic seminar of Expo leisure economy era.

On August 8, 2008, Ogut expert group was invited to participate in the Expo leisure economic strategy seminar organized by Asia Society of America in Shanghai World Trade Center. Representatives attending the meeting mainly include the old director of Shanghai World Expo Bureau, the president of Shanghai World Expo Economic Research Institute, the CEO of Ogut international brand organization, the general manager of Shanghai Modern Design Institute and the chairman of Weizhidu Chain. At the seminar, Mr. Jiang Yicheng reviewed the grand occasion of previous world expositions and introduced the new york/KOOC-0/964 to/KOOC-0/965 World Expositions and Osaka/KOOC-0/970 World Expositions in detail. He said that the World Expo is one of the top events in the world and a stage for countries to display their own culture and advanced technology. Since the Expo was exhibited, many new inventions have gradually entered people's lives. On February 3, 2002, China won the right to host the 20 10 Shanghai World Expo, which is the world's affirmation of China's comprehensive national strength and rapid economic growth. China has a long history of 5,000 years, so we should give full play to our advantages and run a successful, wonderful and unforgettable World Expo. Add luster to the Shanghai World Expo with practical actions. Lao Jiang is a special old man who has an indissoluble bond with the World Expo. He won many awards at the new york World Expo and Osaka World Expo, and was called "the father of the Expo" by domestic and foreign media. He is regarded as an outstanding social activist and business leader among overseas Chinese. Nearly 90 years old, Jiang is still vigorous, cheerful and open-minded, and strives to make his own contribution to the 20 10 Shanghai World Expo. In order to promote the connection between China enterprises and the World Expo, Lao Jiang is still working tirelessly to deal with many issues of business communication between China and the United States. Lao Jiang has close relations with American Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, Clinton/Gore and George H.W. Bush, and is a trusted guest. He has mediated major international "crisis" diplomacy between China and the United States many times.

At the World Expo seminar, delegates expressed their views on how the World Expo can make urban life better, and put forward many far-reaching suggestions.

Dean of the World Expo Economic Research Institute talks about the innovative ideas of the World Expo in its development.

Expert Ogut expounded the relationship between brand promotion and brand extension of domestic enterprises before and after the World Expo. It also fully expresses the outstanding construction of innovative and creative cultural concepts in the Expo site, the linkage structure outside the park and the persistent idea of long-term effect after the meeting.

The general manager of Modern Design Institute demonstrated and expounded the architectural style and functional planning of the World Expo.

Chairman of Weizhidu Chain talked about the linkage between the innovation of catering chain service and the Expo effect.

Lao Jiang is looking forward to hosting a good World Expo in his motherland. China has a long history of 5,000 years, so he should give full play to his national advantages, display the cultural characteristics of China, win honor for the people of China, and hold a successful, wonderful and unforgettable World Expo.

At the seminar, Mr. Jiang Yicheng also talked about the relationship between leisure industry and World Expo. Leisure industry is people's leisure life and leisure demand, especially tourism, entertainment and service industry, which has formed an economic industrial system and become an important pillar industry of national economic development. Lao Jiang also said: "If people think that I have more than 40 years of successful experience in the World Expo, it is indeed lucky for domestic and foreign media to call me the father of the World Expo, but it is not worth it. But I have a little suggestion about the World Expo, which is related to today's theme. Of course, there was no such name as leisure more than forty years ago, but it is actually an example and a successful example. There were world expositions in 1964 and 1965 more than forty years ago, but the biggest and longest one in history was two years, from 1964 to 1965. The biggest one went bankrupt in less than two months because of the wrong idea, and the organizer wanted to eat, so we held the World Expo on 20 10, and I think leisure activities can bring some benefits to the World Expo. "

According to the plan, the planned area of 20 10 Shanghai World Expo is 400 hectares. The Shanghai World Expo will give full play to the waterfront characteristics and location advantages in this area, and build a number of large-scale cultural, conference, exhibition, residential, leisure and commercial service facilities. These facilities, together with the green corridors and canals, will be preserved after the World Expo and developed into an important cultural Expo center and characteristic riverside residential area in Shanghai. Therefore, from the moment the Expo bid is successful, an unprecedented grand project will be launched around the construction of Expo venues, which is full of great business opportunities of "Expo economy". "China Shanghai Expo bid" has become an attractive business theme, showing a wide range of business opportunities to domestic and foreign merchants. It is understood that only the World Expo venues, that is, the second-class projects themselves, need to invest about 3 billion US dollars (it can be speculated that there will be at least1.6-20,000 square meters of new buildings and facilities in the Expo site, including * * 1.4 projects). According to the investment multiplier principle of economics and the theory of urban planning, this has led to the investment in urban infrastructure extension areas such as industrial structure adjustment, transportation facilities, commercial facilities, communication facilities and a new round of old district reconstruction, which will be 5-0/0 times of the direct investment, that is, the new investment15-30 billion US dollars, which will be used for the third, fourth, fifth and third categories. (It can be inferred that there are at least 550-100000 square meters of new buildings and facilities around the Expo site, and there are * * * 440-800 projects). At the same time, the demand of Expo will give birth to a large number of Sino-foreign joint venture financing, business, tourism, management and legal consulting professional service companies, and the market space for domestic and foreign merchants to participate is very large. Such a huge capital investment will make Shanghai's urban construction leap to a new level.

Expo construction is an important driving force for Shanghai's historic development. From an economic point of view, first of all, the influence of the Expo economy will directly radiate to the Yangtze River Delta region, driving the coordinated development of industries in the whole region. The World Expo will make the Yangtze River Delta megalopolis with Shanghai as the core, including nine cities including Hangzhou, Nanjing, Suzhou, Wuxi and Ningbo, rise or take shape. In the process of promoting coordinated development, new ideas have emerged: promoting industrial development planning from administrative areas to economic areas; It is necessary to advance from the development view of industrial zone to the development view of industrial chain; We should move from enterprise alliance to city alliance. At the same time, the coordinated development of industries in the Yangtze River Delta region will be accompanied by corresponding policies to achieve the expected results.

Shanghai should re-plan and lay out the traditional industries on both sides of the Huangpu River, transform the traditional manufacturing industry with high technology, make the traditional industries occupy the high end of the industrial chain and enhance the core competitiveness of enterprises; Five years later, the proportion of tertiary industry in Shanghai will increase to 60%. Shanghai will speed up the cultivation of tourism brands and provide tourists at home and abroad with tourism products with Shanghai characteristics. Fourth, the World Expo will promote the sustainable development of Shanghai's real estate industry. In the next seven years, Shanghai's real estate investment and consumption will continue to grow simultaneously and maintain a high level of operation.

Cities make life better. I believe that as long as there are participants who are committed to the prosperity of the motherland and human harmony like Mr. Lao Jiang, our city will be more moving and beautiful.
