Escape the Library

【Urban Planning-02】

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

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

There are many small parts similar to building blocks placed around the hall, in various colors and shapes. In the middle is a sand table similar to the size of a football field. The sand table is empty without any buildings and green plants on it.

A line of information has been swiped in the floating box in the upper right corner——

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

[The time limit for this test is 8 hours. The sand table of the test room corresponds to the human city. The zoom ratio of the map is 1000:1. The area of ​​the city is 7000 square kilometers]

[You need to name the city you build, every road, every neighborhood, every park, 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 called his teammates to his side: "The time limit is 8 hours to complete the planning and design of the entire city. The time is very tight. In the first hour, we will discuss the layout of the city and draw design drawings."

Zhang Xiaonian took out the laser range finder to measure the sand table and said, "The area of ​​this sand table is 7,000 square meters, and 1 meter on the sand table represents 1,000 meters in the city. The proportion must be remembered, otherwise the construction will be done at that time. Exceeded."

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? To be simpler, 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 using a compass, and he can draw a straight line without the aid of a ruler. Yue Xingwen was very relieved to give him the drawing.

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

Seeing this scene, Lan Yarong couldn't help but be amazed: "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 necessarily, Pingce is the minority."

Yue Xingwen looked at the four districts planned by Jiang Ping and said: "The names of the districts, let's think of something nice, I think the library score should take into account our intentions. If we directly call Chengbei District and Chengxi District , Chengdong District, you 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 Yishen said with a deep smile, "Then the terrain to the south is Pingchuan, so why should it be called Pingyang District?"

Discussing matters with the school tyrants is simply neat, and Yue Xingwen nodded with 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. 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 and west and north and south directions, and then build a ring highway, which is convenient. 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 eight criss-crossing main roads first, then connect them with auxiliary roads and overpasses, and finally determine the entrance and exit of the expressway."

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

Jiang Pingce said simply: "Okay."

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

Jiang Pingce nodded: "I'll draw the traffic network first." He frowned and glanced at the sand table. Zhang Xiaonian had already marked the distance on the sand table. The distance between east and west is 100 meters, and the distance between north and south is 70 meters. A scale of 1000, that is, their city is 100 kilometers east-west and 70 kilometers north-south.

While Jiang Pingce was painting, Yue Xingwen quickly took the name: "The one that connects the east and the west is called Jianshe Road, and it is divided into two parts: Jianshe West Road and Jianshe East Road. How?"

Everyone: "..."

Jianshe Road and Renmin Road are really roads that every city will have! Jiang Pingce marked the road well, and other paths, everyone began to use their brains to think about the road names of their hometown and the city where the university is located, such as Bayi Road, Kunlun Road, Xinhua Road, Xiushui Road, Haikou Lake Road, took a lot of names to install.

No way, the library stipulates that they must name all the roads and buildings in the city, a group of households who have difficulty naming names are really going to be bald.

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 middle of the main road is connected by various relatively narrow roads, and the Ring Expressway surrounds and surrounds 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 specifications of the ring-city expressway are two-way three-lane, the maximum time limit is 120 km/h, and an expressway entrance and exit is designed every 2 kilometers or so to facilitate the diversion of vehicles.

Time is limited, and Jiang Pingce made this traffic plan based on the suggestions of his classmates, which is already the limit they can consider. In order to avoid road congestion during commuting hours, they also designed several aerial 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 large number of building block-shaped models around the sand table. The two quickly found the gray model representing the road and began to lay them on the sand table according to the design drawings.

Others are starting to plan the city's amenities.

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 center on these facilities to plan residential quarters around them to facilitate children's schooling and residents' medical needs."

Lan Yarong said with a smile, "Don't forget the courts, procuratorates, municipal governments, and public security bureaus!"

Everyone: "..."

If you think about it carefully, there are really too many things that need to be considered 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.

It can be said that the course "Urban Planning" of 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 to achieve "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 a 'civic center' in each administrative district, marriage registration, immigration management, pension and medical insurance, household registration management, and real estate bureau. Wait, bring all these common service agencies together to facilitate citizens to do business."

Zhuo Feng slapped his thigh: "Good idea! Many big cities now have this kind of civic center, and you don't need to go around with documents to get stamps like before. If you want to do something, you can go directly to the civic center, 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 civic center in our hometown is a five-story building."

As for the location of the civic center, Jiang Pingce suggested: "It is best to build the civic center in the center of the four districts, and by the way, build some wetland parks near the civic center, so that everyone can walk and exercise."

Lan Yarong began to ponder the location of the Public Security Bureau. She said, "This city has four districts, and we need four public security sub-bureaus, plus a city bureau under unified management. The city bureau must be placed in the same place as the municipal government and the procuratorate. 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 municipal government offices in the city center. Yue Xingwen confirmed the location of the civic center in the four districts. With the existence of the civic center, there is no need to build the Civil Affairs Bureau, Housing Management Bureau and other institutions separately. All of them are concentrated together, saving time and effort.

Followed by hospitals and schools.

A city should have at least several large-scale general hospitals. Liu Zhaoqing suggested: "Build one of the largest comprehensive people's hospitals in the city center; build two specialized hospitals, a mental hospital and an infectious disease hospital in the suburbs. For others, build one in each district. A general hospital is almost the same, and if there is a spare space, a children's hospital can be established."

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 are we going to build?"

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

Everyone used their brains to think of a lot of school names and write them down on paper.

Xu Yishen said: "Shi No. 7 Middle School has been designated as a key middle 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 a group of laymen go to build the city by themselves, and everyone is a little bit in a hurry. However, whenever I hear a teammate put forward a fresh suggestion and choose a nice name, the strange sense of accomplishment is really no less than the birth of a baby by the Academy of Biological Sciences.

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

Compared with the previous ice age, the second course in the Department of Geography is really much more interesting.
