Cities, especially those expected to be mega-scale, have a very complex planning workload.
The problem with normal urban planning is that it needs to be adjusted based on the existing population, community, and transportation demand distribution, which will affect the interests and jobs of many people, so it is difficult.
Megacities are grown. If there are more people in the existing city prototypes, things will be much simpler. At most, some calculation problems will be sent to the inner court administrative office for help.
The first phase is not yet a giant structure. It only needs to form a structure larger than the Wangting tree on the central island.
But at this time, it is necessary to confirm the shape of the entire city.
Wang Qi would think about it when he was free from time to time, and he already had some drafts.
First of all, residents in megacities still live mainly in single-family houses, most of which are limited to four floors.
This is the development of Phoenix City. Only in the period when the floating island was just beginning, most of the buildings in the south city area were built. Later, these buildings were gradually converted into offices and warehouses.
Wang Qi himself hates buildings.
This dislike is not due to artistic obsessiveness or the higher threshold for building construction and supporting facilities, but because Wang Qi has been in this business and knows that the form of building is very detrimental to uniting the people.
It may seem like the residents are closer together in the building, but the actual psychological distance is farther.
Wang Qi has an observation point: Thief!
No matter how a building is constructed, the corridors will be public. Thieves can naturally enter and exit the corridors just like residents. Neighbors playing cards or board games on the street cannot directly witness the thieves.
This situation makes it impossible for the residents of the building to stay open at night, and it has nothing to do with their quality.
Facing the door that is closed almost all day long, the interaction between the residents of the building is basically close to zero. It is too rare for a social cow to knock on the door one by one as a stranger and say hello.
The situation of single-family houses is completely different. At least in terms of resident interaction, there are two levels of functional advantages.
First, detached houses will have a front area.
Take Wangtingshushang, where land is relatively tight, as an example. Although most families are not able to buy a house with a courtyard, they at least have a front area where they can park trucks and other large items.
When two households communicate in this location, it neither belongs to the street nor does they need to knock on the door to enter the house. The possibility of walking through the door and making small talk is greatly increased.
Second, the total population density of single-family streets is limited. A 400-meter long street only has a few hundred household heads, which is equivalent to a medium-sized village. The idlers playing cards and chess in the streets can easily recognize them, and There are always so many people who go to and from get off work in the same direction at the same time.
There are fewer people and it is easier to recognize each other, which makes it easier to strike up a conversation. Even if it is a non-nutritious chat, there is still a chance to gradually change from strangers to neighbors who give each other dishes and candies, and then to have dinner together.
This is just a situation where the door of a single-family community is also closed. If the public security is good enough to the extent that the door of a single-family house with a courtyard can be left open, residents will have more opportunities to interact, because family compounds are always more secure than public places. A good children's playground, a child's secret base, and children playing together can bring the two families closer together more easily than adults.
Wang Qi would pay attention to this thing because of the situation in the kingdom itself. There are too many mixed-race groups and many conflicts are difficult to reconcile, so they should not be atomized. Group conflicts that lack communication will only gradually deepen.
….
Street planning is based on single-family buildings.
The streets on Wangtingshu adopt a feather style, which means that each lane will directly merge into the main line of the area, and there is a certain directionality. It is not a "T"-shaped intersection but a "human"-shaped intersection.
The advantage of a herringbone intersection is that the corner is smaller when exiting the lane, making it easier to pass non-standard items, but it is not convenient for observing oncoming traffic, so an incoming lane must be left at the intersection, so many places facing the avenue , are not suitable for shops.
As megacities develop towards megacities, the arterial roads will be particularly busy, so secondary roads should be added to the alleys to double as business districts, and then the business districts will lead to the arterial roads.
But for a business district, T-shaped and herringbone shapes are not suitable.
But in this period when there are more and more cars, there will also be more accidents.
Wang Qi toyed with several versions and decided to use a semi-sunflower-shaped one-way underground tunnel.
For example, access point A has nine or more alley entrances. It is roughly a semi-circle. All vehicles come out and go around the roundabout here. The roundabout has two lanes. Take the left lane and go directly underground to the opposite side of the business district street. Take the right road, go right and keep right to merge into the street. Access point b is on the opposite side, and there is also a special underground tunnel that turns into the confluence lane of area a.
This sunflower-shaped alleyway gathering point itself will be a place with a high density of personal flow, and is suitable for setting up parking lots, daily necessities, child care, parks, and warehouses.
All functional areas combined include 20 heavy truck spaces and hundreds of small parking spaces. One entry point covers an area of approximately 8,000 to 10,000 square meters. This area also makes it easier to organize community activities...such as evacuation and holiday dinners.
Wang Qi also has no intention of letting vehicles dominate traffic. The half-sunflower-shaped lane layout is not a dead end at the other end, but leads directly to dedicated pedestrian trails and bicycle lanes.
...So which end is considered the business district?
In fact, it is still on the vehicle side, because due to this layout, the distance on the trail side will be particularly long, and the relative density of people will be much smaller, which is not conducive to the formation of a large-scale retail concentration area, mainly for walking, playing cards, and chatting. Connect with various low-age schools, housekeeping services, etc.
As for how to achieve a safe business district effect in places with a lot of traffic, the natural solution is to add more floors.
The road used by residents' vehicles to leave their homes is a secondary road in the city. A footpath is added on top and connected to the footpath at the other end, allowing residents to directly go around the footpath and enter the third floor of the critical building in the business district. This road surface is high enough for some vehicles to pass below. Truck vehicle.
From a bird's eye view, it is a fan-shaped structure, which is an urban unit. Based on this position, the underlying structure of the entire city is planned.
Using this shape instead of a regular rectangle makes it easier to create recognizable intersections and squares, reducing the possibility of new residents getting lost.
These special-shaped intersections are not all plazas. There are farmers' markets, Japanese goods wholesale markets, large vehicle service areas, etc.
Based on the city units, a trunk network was built to ensure that space and secret layers including the transformation of the magic array were reserved, and then the main body was pushed to the first phase.
This composition sequence is a bit strange, but Wang Qi has never done anything of this magnitude. The city is still three-dimensional. If you don’t go through the process, you don’t know how many and what types of passages should be set aside in the central area, as well as their access. high.
….
On the whole, it is still a central city. The center is responsible for administrative work. It is easy to manage and it is also easy to control the total number of administrative personnel from expanding easily. After all, the population situation has always been very bad, and the same problems can be encountered anytime and anywhere. .
There is probably still a little difference from Phoenix City.
The central area of the megacity is not only the administrative district, but also the location for some future air military operations.
For example, if the flying bunker that Wang Qi had been imagining for a while was really going to be generated through a giant city, it would naturally be placed at the top of the central area so that he could decide whether to send inner court guards to support it as quickly as possible.
In addition, an airport will be set up here, and in order to reduce noise pollution, it will be turned into a super-elevated airport.
There is a lot of wood in a giant city, which has good shock absorption effect. The noise pollution is actually much lighter than that of a concrete environment. The airport does not need to be too high, about two hundred meters or so.
This airport mainly serves the administrative document system and the military system. It is not used for civilian purposes. Civilians still use the hub airport between Phoenix and New Pettus. Its expansion plan is already being screened and will be completed after most of the ring library project is completed. start up.
It may also be equipped with some ultra-range experimental weapon platforms, but not yet, but the functional areas must be pre-set to avoid ruining the overall aesthetics.
The overall shape abandons the orchid form of Phoenix City with a phoenix as the flower core, and uses the overall visual effect of water droplets splashing. The dripping water is changed into a sword, formed from the existing giant sacred tree itself, as a new
Used by the Martyrs Monument.
... From the local surface of the city, it looks more like a morning-flower-shaped bunker. From a distance, you can see the hilt and part of the sword body.
There are more beautiful ones, but in the size of a giant city, it is difficult to realize due to the influence of gravity and material strength limitations, so it can only be made into a more abstract water splash.
Having said that, even a water splash will be spectacular enough when the overall height exceeds 200 meters and the "splash" height is close to 300 meters.
