?????? As intuitively depicted in the figure above, over the past decade, the total size of green apace in China has almost doubled within ten years’ time.

?????? Urbanization in China has been on a fast speed over the years since we crossed into the 21st Century, behind the growth of the number is the raising awareness of the environment and our devotion to making cities a better place to live in. As we all know, the development of city zones is one of the key indicators of a country’s economy. Cities, especially metropolises, are places for people to find their fortune as well as their foothold. Therefore, people-centered and eco-friendly urban planning plays a core role in city wellness.

?????? In the past, there was a heated topic on “whether cities should develop at the price of the environment”, and today the answer is here for everyone. There are always creative and innovative ways to make cities better places for human existence and economic development. Newly and creatively-designed buildings with green plants covered, public parks taking advantage of natural resources and streets renovated under eco-friendliness have found a way balancing urban development and environmental protection.

?????? 2021 is the launching year of our “14th 5-year plan”, also the implementation on the environmental strategies of “carbon-neutrality” and “carbon emission peak”, with more green space in cities, we are one step closer to achieving these goals. Under the banner of “Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets,” our government is on the right track and will be unswervingly implementing these policies for a friendlier, safer and healthier shared future for the whole nation and even, the entire human society.

正如上圖直觀所示，過去的十年間，我國的綠色空間總量近乎翻了一倍。

?????? 中國的城市化在我們跨入21世紀(jì)之后變得十分迅速，這些增長的背后，是人們對于和環(huán)境的意識的穩(wěn)步提高，同時還有我們讓城市更加宜居而做出的投入。我們都知道，城市的發(fā)展是國家關(guān)鍵的經(jīng)濟(jì)指標(biāo)之一。尤其是大城市，是人們實(shí)現(xiàn)夢想和尋找歸宿的地方。因此，以人為本，環(huán)境友好的城市規(guī)劃在城市的幸福指數(shù)上扮演著核心的作用。

?????? 過去，我們熱議：“城市的發(fā)展，是否應(yīng)該以環(huán)境為代價？”今天，答案就在每個人的眼前。總有新奇的方法讓城市更加符合人類的生存和經(jīng)濟(jì)的發(fā)展。綠植環(huán)繞下創(chuàng)新設(shè)計的樓宇，利用自然優(yōu)勢開發(fā)的公園，以及在環(huán)境友好為前提下新規(guī)劃的城市街道，都為城市發(fā)展和環(huán)境保護(hù)尋找到了平衡點(diǎn)。

?????? 2021年是“第十四個五年計劃”征程的元年，也是“碳中和”和“碳達(dá)峰”環(huán)境政策的實(shí)施之年。隨著城市綠色面積越來越廣，我們距離這些目標(biāo)更近了一步。在“綠水青山就是金山銀山”的口號下，我們的政府正堅(jiān)持在正確的道路上，并將為了構(gòu)建更友好、更安全、更健康的國家共同體，乃至人類命運(yùn)共同體而堅(jiān)定不移地實(shí)施這些政策。
