Reading 5 summary Finish this Reading. I know this reading has two parts. First is talk about the purpose and the significance of Chicago Plan. Second is the implementation of the Chicago Plan. We first to talk about the purpose and the significance of Chicago Plan. Chicago Plan is the correct route to guide the future development for this city. And this plan is the greatest plan in the American. Urban planning is the basis of all business and social problems. The Chicago plan solves the important problems for our congestion, transportation, and public health. This plan will eliminate the crowding streets in the city, thereby promoting the health and well-being of all.
It will make transportation more convenient and make it easier and cheaper to do the business. Research shows that because of the fast pace of life and poor environment, urban life has reduced people's health and efficiency. The physical condition of urban residents is falling rapidly compared with those living in the countryside. Everyone realizes that city life is more stressful and more stressful than outdoor life. It is to provide more open-air recreation facilities, improve the urban housing sanitation facilities, and increase the light and air on the city streets. The Chicago plan offers convenient transportation by expanding and extending the existing streets, by cutting down the new one and by connecting all the streets.
It also suggests parks and playgrounds in every block of the city. The other two issues of great public interest are closely related to the work of the Chicago planning commission. One is whether people living in crowded areas have adequate housing problems. The Chicago Planning Committee believes that the housing problem is very important to the city. The other problem is the division of the urban areas. In one area, only third are allowed to live in other factories and industries, with only business and commerce. Second, we talk about implementation of the Chicago Plan. Totally, this part’s summary is through the cost of the Chicago project, the community has sufficient financial capacity to do
it. In the course of their implementation, they came to four reasons: First is Systematic arrangement of streets, streets, and streets within a city to save time and energy in the flow of people and goods in various parts of the city. Then to protect the public health. Second is the concentration and perfection of the railway hub, the perfection of the port and the establishment of the transportation system in China. The third is the acquisition and development of the park system that will meet the needs of the city in the future. Forth is the development of the downtown area so as to unify and unify the city. In view of value.
This is due to the convenient increase and the establishment of a large number of new and very valuable construction sites adjacent to the new streets. The cost will be millions of dollars, but the result will be continued benefit for all residents in Chicago. As for the park plan, we must make a great complement to our public places of entertainment. Today, the location and layout of Chicago's parks and parks are totally inappropriate for the future of the city. Fifty years ago, the city had a large population and a dense population. Without an open park, people could live in a comfortable and orderly way. We can't live without the park today. They are the necessities of the city. We believe that promoting sound physical and mental health is a necessary condition for good citizens. After all, a good citizen is the primary goal of a good city. Vast woodlands are considered forests for the people, and another characteristic of the park is usually not designed for American cities but is almost always used in Europe. These trees will cost is quite large, it must be borne by the public, but the people from the fifty thousand acres of forest gain in health and entertainment, any other investment guarantee, and can get more returns so
safe. Chicago planning has taught me that the urban planning is most fundamental factor to develop the business and to solve the social problems. And if the public person can join in the construction of the city, and put forward their views, that must can help the development of the city be better.
