英国思想家霍华德提出田园城市的概念已经过去百年。在新世纪的地平线上,建设世界现代田园城市如何理解?世界现代田园城市,本质上是符合科学发展观要求,体现“自然之关、社会公正、城乡一体”核心思想的新型城市。它包含世界级、现代化、超大型和田园城市四个基本要素。由此基本要素衍化,又体现为6个方面的具体特征。城乡一体化体系的新境界、成都会展业新机遇,都可在建设世界现代田园城市宏伟架构中获得答案。 Howard, the British thinker, has proposed the concept of pastoral city centuries. On the horizon of the new century, how to build a modern urban garden in the world? The modern urban garden in the world is essentially a new city that meets the requirements of the scientific concept of development and embodies the core concepts of “natural customs, social justice and urban-rural integration.” It contains four basic elements of a world-class, modern, large and rural city. Derived from the basic elements, but also embodied in six aspects of the specific characteristics. The new realm of urban-rural integration and the new opportunity of convention and exhibition industry in Chengdu can all be answered in the grand framework of building a modern urban garden in the world.
