Pearl River Watching ｜ Slowly traveling "fast", increasing "green" for urban travel

Recently, the Guangzhou Municipal Planning and Natural Resources Bureau released the "Annual Report of the Transportation Development of Guangzhou in 2021" (referred to as the "Report"). The "Report" shows that the total amount of cycling (bicycles and electric bicycles) in the central urban area increases by 42%compared with the pre -epidemic. In 2021, the green travel ratio of the central urban area of ​​Guangzhou reached 78%, ranking among the forefront of the country in large cities across the country. ("Guangzhou Daily" on August 7)

I believe many people have such experience: As the living standards improve, more and more people around them are around, but more and more people choose walking and cycling. There is a car without driving and driving less, which is related to environmental protection, low -carbon, green, and health concepts. Public transportation systems and slow travel systems make people green more convenient, comfortable, and fast. Choosing green travel can not only reduce congestion, but also benefit the environment and health. Why not do it?

Large cities often mean a fast -paced life. However, the improvement of the slow system is essential for urban development. For a city, the slow -moving system is equivalent to "capillaries", which is the most widely covered part. They look not as eye -catching as the main road, but it is an indispensable part of maintaining the comfort of urban life and maintaining diversity of life. Once upon a time, the cities in various places became wider and wider, but traffic became more and more congested. The slow -moving system rebuilt the bicycle lane, solved the "last mile" problem, and made the "subway+cycling" efficient travel method the best choice for commuting. The big city space is gold and gold. However, the pedestrian lanes on both sides of the Pearl River connecting the ecological corridor of Baiyun Mountain can make people closer to the grass and trees in the city, listening to the bird's fragrance of nature. The steps of the historical and cultural district allows people to use their footsteps to perceive the historical and cultural heritage of Guangzhou and go to the streets of the streets of the old city to taste the unique charm of this Lingnan famous city.

In recent years, Guangzhou has continuously optimized the slow space environment, improved the quality of slow travel, and achieved outstanding results in the construction of slow transportation systems. Guangzhou has planned 24 slow lines in 2015 and connects to a bicycle within 3 kilometers around the subway station. It has been built 800 kilometers and is expected to exceed 1,000 kilometers at the end of this year. Leading the province and accumulated 3,500 kilometers of green roads.

It can be seen that the "fast" the slow development of the system, the more you can support green travel and a better life. Next, we need to continuously improve the slow traffic infrastructure to speed up the various problems in the slow -moving traffic system, such as optimizing the large but slower section of the cycling, solving the difficulty of parking on electric bicycles, charging charging, charging Difficult issues, etc. In this way, slow travel and green travel will become the choice of more people.
