In China, there is a saying, “in order to be prosperous, you need to build roads first”. That’s exactly what most Chinese cities have done during the past dozens of years. And it seems that such construction frenzy will last for a long time in the foreseeable future. But no matter how many subway lines have been finished, how many buses have been putted on the road, people still keep complaining about traffic problems. Why? You may wonder. I think the most basic and important influential factor is that quickly evolving economy draws more and more people moving into cities. And such huge population migration weighs city’s traffic systems. To ease the overloaded public traffic systems, the first idea popping out is to build more traffic facilities. But when government formally bring these plans to the table, they may find the problems they need to face is not only traffic itself. Civil society organizations, environmental protection agencies and various other mechanisms will denounce the plan due to potential pollution or geographical disaster. This is a dilemma in which no body could compromise because it’s obviously unreasonable to replace a problem with another problem. Though we are stranded, we still could explore some approaches. First, we could urbanize more second and third tier cities so they can become local people’s first choice to settle. Most people flock to first tier cities because they can find more working opportunities, better wellbeing there. If those small cities could minimize their gap with the big cities, I believe many youngsters would like to set up families in their hometowns. And this will conversely benefit local development. Second, government should enact tougher ordinances about private cars since they are exhausting limited city traffic resources. Private cars only bring convenience to few families, but they occupy more parking spaces, consume more gasoline and emit most green house gases. Encourage people to take public traffic vehicles and limit private cars registration, that’s the method we could study from other developed countries. There is a long way ahead of us to balance between development and environment, but it’s not a single option, we believe there is way to make the best of both worlds.
