发帖数: 632 | 1 超级城市武汉强势回归
1999年，麦金利-康韦（Mckinley Conway）在美国《未来学家》杂志1999年6-7月刊发
表“未来的超级城市”一文，康韦将中国的武汉、上海列为未来十大超级城市。中国人
没有引起多大的兴趣，我想，最主要的原因在于他将“武汉”列在“大上海”的前面。
（笔者曾经跟Conway的秘书进行过联络。）
武汉这么被美国未来学家所看重，说明武汉不是一座一般的城市，她至少是一座独特的
城市。但是，武汉一度被某些东西压抑着，没有表现出她的独特性，也没有在中国经济
版图上发挥出应有的作用，这与过去实施的发展战略有密切的关系。但是，武汉注定不
会被短期的冷落而自我埋没。
首先，我们看看武汉在全国城市中的经济地位之演变：
新中国成立直到1989年，武汉经济总量一直位居全国前十。
1984年，武汉一度位列全国第四，仅仅落后于北京、上海和天津。这是武汉最辉煌的年
份，之后，武汉经济排名开始不断地相对下降。
1990年，武汉跌出全国前十位。
1993年，武汉GDP跌入谷底，在全国总排名落后到第18名。
2008年，武汉位居十二，排在15个副省级城市第八位。自2009年起，武汉将金融危机转
化为发展机遇，抓住沿海经济向内陆转移契机，大力招商引资，实施“工业倍增计划”
，经济总量持续扩大。
2011年，武汉位居第十一，超越南京、青岛、宁波。
2012年，武汉位居第九，将无锡、杭州撇在身后。全国35个大中型城市经济“年报”揭
开面纱，武汉GDP以8003.82亿元“收盘”，在全国15个副省级城市中排位第四，挺进全
国城市第九位，重返全国城市经济总量十强。这是时隔22年后，武汉再一次站在中国经
济版块最强方阵之中。
2012年9月刊的美国《外交政策》，将武汉经济活力列为全球城市第11位。预测武汉到
2025年GDP达到4144亿美元（约2.65万亿元人民币）。在中国城市排名中，武汉位列上
海、北京、天津、广州、深圳、重庆之后，位居第七。
武汉的可怕在于：她有能力实现“批量超越”——潜力爆发——可以一次性超越几个城
市。
看看武汉今后几年还有什么后劲：
——80万吨乙烯工程进入试生产，后续化工新材料开发指日可待。将形成又一个千亿规
模的GDP产业链。
——联想武汉基地将生产出最新平板电脑，填补武汉移动终端生产空白。预计到2014年
可实现年销售额100亿元人民币，未来5年有望达到500亿元人民币，将创造近万个工作
机会。
——上海通用汽车武汉基地和东风系列汽车的扩产。将在今后五年实现2000亿元的销售。
——未来科技城引进企业新增1000亿元。
——新软件园新增1000亿元。
——生物医药产业新增500亿元。
——临空经济新增300-500亿元。
——合并鄂州（非常可能，因为鄂州的葛店开发区已经与东湖开发区连成一片，二者不
可分割）吸纳近600亿元GDP。再合并孝感（武汉临空经济区会自然将孝感吸纳进入自己
的版图）吸纳近1300亿元GDP。这种合并是朝着“超级城市”的方向发展所必须的。
也就是说，在未来几年，武汉将新增8000-9000亿元的GDP。加上自然的增长，那么，在
现有基础上，武汉GDP将很快达到1.8—2.0万亿元。
因此，武汉非常可能再超越4—5个城市，进入全国前六甚至前五名。如果超过深圳，进
入前四也不是没有可能。
武汉不仅要成为“东方芝加哥”，而且要建成中国第一市。这是由武汉独有的资源所决
定的。武汉商品市场集散功能强，腹地市场广阔，淡水资源丰富，居世界各大城市之首
。这正是武汉市独特的优势，这种优势在全世界大城市中具有唯一性。正因为同时具备
了丰富的淡水资源与广阔的腹地资源，美国未来学家康维在《未来学家》杂志预言“在
21世纪，武汉将可能崛起成为世界十大超级城市之一”。有论者甚至提出，武汉具有建
造中国第一市的四大优势：一曰“水”，二曰“中”，三曰“智”，四曰“造”。简称
“水中智造”。(这是笔者的总结。)

发帖数: 632 | 4 The Great Cities of the Future
Conway, McKinley, The Futurist
A hundred urban areas are poised to become truly great: Which ones will
emerge as the next "supercities"?
Many urban areas offer a high quality of life. They earn high marks when
measured by the usual economic and social indicators. Yet, some cities rise
above the others, achieving distinction on a higher plane. They are world-
class cities that enjoy a special image in the eyes of billions of people.
Their assets and achievements are known and recognized by leaders in
government, science, the arts, and business. They attract people from around
the world and make visitors feel comfortable by showing respect for their
varied languages, customs, and cultures.
These unique "supercities" attract and hold wealth. They are recognized by
the global business community as good locations for their headquarters
offices, research and development laboratories, and other strategic
investments. There are going to be many new supercities in the twenty-first
century.
Defining the Supercity
A supercity is an urban area with three characteristics:
* It has a population of more than 1 million people.
* It has a sustainable capability for meeting the physical and social needs
of its residents (food, shelter, safety, health, transportation, and
education).
* It has a healthy and dynamic economic environment that creates, attracts,
and nurtures economic investments that produce adequate jobs and public
revenues.
By this definition, not all large cities are supercities, but all large
cities can strive to achieve that status.
Today's large cities are continuing to grow rapidly throughout the world.
The United Nations estimates that over 500 urban areas will have a
population of more than a million people by 2015, compared with 328 such
cities in 1996. Over the same period, the number of cities with a population
of more than 5 million is projected to increase from 16 to 26.
There may be as many as 100 emerging supercities around the world. The
United States has such fast-developing centers as Atlanta, Dallas, Denver,
Phoenix, Seattle, Portland, Salt Lake City, Honolulu, Orlando, New Orleans,
and many others.
Elsewhere, the competition includes such cities as Madrid, Melbourne, Sao
Paulo, Toronto, Guadalajara, Lyons, Stuttgart, Shanghai, and scores of
others. These cities want many of the same things other cities want, and
they are willing to work very hard to achieve them.
Building Infrastructure
Large cities as a group need enormous increases in urban infrastructure and
services to meet the demands generated by the rapid growth and rising
expectations of residents. The sheer scale of these new infrastructure
requirements creates imposing challenges to planning, financing, and
development.
All of the competitors have one thing in common: Cities of the future must
be built project-by-project. There is no quick and easy route to success.
It was this building-block approach that raised many world-renowned cities
to their present status. At various intervals they installed transit systems
, expanded water-treatment plants, built convention centers, and added other
infrastructure components.
It is difficult to rank these elements in importance or to say which ones,
if any, are not needed. However, in combination, these components produce
success. Here are some examples of vital elements for supercities:
1. Water. A city with great prospects for the future can have its hope
shattered by a water shortage. It is absolutely essential to have a more-
than-adequate supply.
2. International airport. There must be a fully equipped international
airport offering flights to major global cities. There must be space
adjacent to the airport for growth of an "airport city."
3. Hinterland connections. There must be transport routes that effectively
link the city to its hinterland. Circumferential highways are the preferred
system. … | D**S

Last Flight Home in a Landmark Life
ONLINE INSIDER
McKinley Conway
by JACK LYNE
T
his Mac Conway fellow, you might be wondering, now just who was he again?
Yeah, he's the guy who started Site Selection 'n all, but did he ever do
anything else? I'm kinda in a hurry here, pal. So just tell me who this dude
was like.
Oh, hell, Mac Conway wasn't like anybody. He never followed anyone's
footsteps; he couldn't really. He was too restless a spirit, too hell-bent
on slashing through the tangle and lighting out headlong for the territory
ahead. Moreover, he was that rare human who discovered some bona-fide virgin
turf; he even did it repeatedly. And every time he unearthed new ground, he
'd start building. Building things nobody'd ever built before.
Only a handful of people ever push themselves that far up the mountain. Few
even think about trying. It's too risky, too scary, just too damn hard. Mac
Conway was a whip-smart fellow; he clearly saw the abundant perils lurking
ahead; they just didn't matter, that's all. What really counted was
constantly plowing forward, running full throttle, right up 'til the end.
And now the end has come. The bell tower's tolled; the distant drummer's
gone silent. Hobart McKinley Conway died in Shiloh, Fla., on May 29, 2011,
at 90. His passing leaves a huge gap. Yet something bigger looms in his wake
— a rich, enduring legacy carved out in nine decades of ceaseless
searching.
A Life Lived in Full
And what is Mac Conway's legacy? Well, you can't sum it up in a sentence. It
's not that simple.
Yes, he was a self-made publishing tycoon, but that barely begins to tell
the tale. He crammed so much energy and motion into his life that it damn
near sounds like fiction. Only it wasn't.
Conway, for instance, actually shaped a large stretch of the site-selection
and economic development landscape. Not to mention his exploits as a
maverick state senator, a crack pilot . . . and an amazingly prolific author
, a globetrotting adventurer . . . and an intrepid futurist and a skilled
musician. And through it all, he always pushed the limits. It's what
pioneers do.
One reporter called him "part Tom Sawyer and part Howard Hughes," and that
nails it pretty damn clean. A compulsive idea machine, Conway always thought
big — King Kong big. He was forever hatching grand schemes, spitting them
out in big clusters.
He was, in short, a load — one oversized and superbly untidy package,
delivered as-is. He could be dauntless, formidable and truly inspiring.
Heaven knows, though, he could also be unreasonable, rough as tree bark and
obstinate as a one-ton pig in knee-deep slop. Just as he was lit by
greatness, he was shadowed by prickly complexities.
But then most great men harbor such barbed tangles of contradictions. Only
Mac Conway's jumble of parts barged into the world all at once, permanently
fused together, roses tangled with thorns. And Lord, did he ever raise one
glorious ruckus.
A Quiet Birth in the Boonies
Conway arrived quietly enough, born on Nov. 1, 1920, in tiny Hackleburg in
northwest Alabama.
"Everyone there either worked on a farm or in some service for farm families
," he recollected. "There were no paved roads, no electric power, no
telephones."
Memories of 'Mac'
Got a Mac Conway story or memory to share with the global economic
development community he helped foster? Click here.
This boy, though, was running on his own alternative power, hardwired into
his genes. He rocketed through the public schools, finally landing on the
campus of Georgia Tech as a tall, skinny freshman. He was all of 15 years
old. The country boy with a shock of curly brown hair eagerly soaked up Tech
's storied knowledge, graduating in 1941 with both bachelor's and master's
degrees in aeronautical engineering. (In 1995, Georgia Tech added an even
more substantial credential, inducting Conway into its Engineering Hall of
Fame.)
Conway during his college days also played a mean tenor sax while leading
his own big band, "The Technicians." The band fared well — so well, in fact
, that briefly he considered a life in music.
But another siren song called Conway off in the distance. Already a licensed
pilot, he accepted an offer to work for the U.S. agency that later became
NASA. After first working under the bureau's director in the nation's
capital, he relocated to Moffett Field in California. He conducted high-
level aeronautical research there in the base's wind tunnel, serving as
project engineer for testing the Navy's first jet fighter, the Ryan FR-1.
Along the way, Conway met aviation giants Orville Wright and Jimmy Doolittle.
During that time in his life, Conway made another fateful decision that was
totally unrelated to his work: He married his college sweetheart, Rebecca
Kellam, on Sept. 17, 1942, in Atlanta.
Leaving NASA, Conway returned to Atlanta, where he wrote "Principles of High
Speed Flight," the first of his 48 books. He self-published it in 1947,
mimeographing copies in the basement of his mother-in-law's house. That tome
, he maintained, "was the world's first textbook on high-speed aerodynamics
and jet propulsion." Perhaps it actually was.
Whatever the case, his career soon kicked into turbo. In 1949, he founded
The Journal of Southeastern Research, the first regional science journal.
Soon after, a fledgling coalition of business and government leaders tapped
the 29-year-old Conway to direct the Southern Association of Science and
Industry (SASI), a 15-state regional development alliance. The young gun
took the job and ran with it: He spearheaded SASI's important role in
transforming the then-backwater South into a business hotspot. Similarly,
that job reshaped Conway's life: It suddenly thrust the wunderkind into
close and frequent contact with governors, CEOs and major media outlets.
"I was no longer an obscure researcher," he wrote. "I was now part of the
prime focus of our generation — building new industries."
Politics, Publishing,
Pushing the Global Envelope
He began building his own industry, Conway Data Inc., in 1947. From that
platform, he lit the fuse for 1954's fateful launch of Industrial
Development— the precursor of today's Site Selection. In one fell swoop, he
created the first magazine to ever focus on the then-obscure domains of
corporate real estate and economic development. Fortune magazine promptly
took note, singling Conway out in 1955 as "A Man to Watch." To this day,
Site Selection continues to set the industry standard.
By the 1960s, he'd expanded into politics, serving in the Georgia Senate
alongside another son of the rural South, Jimmy Carter. Sen. Conway led the
effort to establish Atlanta's mass transit system, MARTA, which became a
model for the country. He also chaired the Governor's Commission for
Scientific Research and Development and introduced Georgia's first "sunshine
law."

Decision Time For Desalt Plants
Conway during that decade was also heavily involved in global affairs. The U
.S. State Dept. selected his company in 1960 to lead the Agency for
International Development/Private Enterprise Promotion (AID/PEP). Part of
President John F. Kennedy's Alliance for Progress, AID/PEP was designed to
demonstrate capitalism's superiority over communism in Central and South
America.
Kick-starting his natural-born knack for forging connections, Conway
assembled teams of Latin leaders; he accompanied them to the U.S., where he'
d set up meetings with American business executives. Likewise, he frequently
trekked to Latin America. In Panama, Peru and Venezuela, he organized and
led Inter-American Development Conferences, convening heads of state,
cabinet ministers and business leaders on common ground.
Some of Conway's Latin visits, though, wobbled on the lip of disaster. He
particularly remembered meeting with one South American government leader.
Conway couldn't help glancing behind the other man's head, where a cluster
of ragged holes riddled the wall. Reading the American's eyes, the Latin
leader smiled: Oh, those, he matter-of-factly explained. Some rebels drove
by the other night, and they shot up my office. And with that, the two men
went on discussing politics and economics.
A Coup d'état for Dinner
Vice President Lyndon Johnson further expanded Conway's geographic focus in
1962. Johnson picked him as part of a five-member team charged with
strengthening economic ties with Southeast Asia, where communists were
clawing for a foothold. LBJ considered the mission vital to U.S. foreign
relations — so vital that the Texan gathered the team round his desk on
Capitol Hill and hammered his point home.
Even LBJ, though, probably didn't envision what happened during one official
trip to Burma (now Myanmar). At the invitation of the Burmese government,
the U.S. delegation was in the midst of a long-term mission. After six weeks
, discussions with Burmese officials seemed to be going well.
And then one night everything disintegrated. The Burmese were hosting the U.
S. team that evening at an extravagant formal dinner. The gesture flattered
the visitors; still, though, they wondered: Why had the Burmese ferried them
so far from their hotel in Rangoon to such a remote location? When the
answer surfaced, the Americans were left stunned.
"As the dinner was winding down," Conway later recalled, "the commander
general of the Burmese army suddenly took the microphone. 'We have just
taken control of the government,' he told us. Then he said that his troops
had already arrested the officials we'd been negotiating with and thrown
them in jail. And then the general invited us to leave the country."
That offer the Americans couldn't refuse. After the U.S. team agreed, army
troops whisked them back to their hotel. Troops were still waiting at the
hotel the next morning, eager to hasten the visitors' exit. Once the army
escorted them to the airport, the Americans hurriedly got the hell out of
Dodge. To this day, the military still controls Myanmar.
For many men, such dicey encounters would've permanently doused any passion
for global travel. Not Conway, though. His brushes with danger only deepened
a raging travelin' jones. He'd caught an itch for wandering that he couldn'
t stop scratching. All told, Conway visited 106 countries, always filing
colorful reports in Site Selection. Those dispatches served up front-line
insights into global thinking — decades before many companies started
welding that worldview into their DNA.
Piloting a Profession Into the Light
Conway was back home in Atlanta, though, when his restive, inventive mind
conjured up a whole different kind of connection — this one firmly anchored
in the private sector. His new idea would link together the most important
players in corporate real estate.
Fifty years ago, that was a far more radical notion than you might imagine.
Corporate real estate then was still an unfocused and fragmented field; site
selection was a shadowy, hush-hush business, with deals often sealed in
smoky back rooms. Conway, though, thought that savvy, proactive real estate
operations should be a key strategic weapon in every major company's arsenal.
So in 1961 he used Site Selection to invite corporate real estate and
economic development executives to collaborate jointly in a very public
nonprofit: The International Development Research Council (IDRC), Conway
called it, and the concept struck a nerve. The idea of an alliance sharply
focused on research, systematic learning and professional networking pricked
up ears. Ultimately, IDRC blossomed into the crème de la crème of real
estate associations. But after four decades of robust growth, the group
dissolved, assimilated into CoreNet Global in a 2002 merger.
Conway, however, swiftly sowed the seeds for another organizational
thoroughbred. After he quietly laid the groundwork, a brand-new association,
the Industrial Asset Management Council (IAMC), launched in 2002. Fueled by
its firm emphasis on corporate member needs, IAMC has registered strong,
steady growth; meanwhile, membership in other industry associations has
plunged.
Conway in 1991 founded yet another groundbreaking group, the World
Development Federation (WDF). That organization connected the principal
players in the world's billion-dollar "super projects." WDF mounted a series
of conferences at sites scattered round the globe: Honolulu; Singapore;
Barcelona; Osaka, Japan; San Francisco; Paris; Madrid; Atlanta; and Jubail,
Saudi Arabia.
Back to the Land
Technology was an enduring constant in the continual flux of Conway's life.
He persistently pushed toward electronica's leading edge. So much, in fact,
that Conway created the development industry's first telecommunications
network, SiteNet. Remarkably, SiteNet debuted in 1983 — fully a decade
before the online revolution began to remake totally the way we work and
play. Conway's company today stretches out over a whole suite of content-
rich Web sites, collectively attracting more than a million visitors a year.
At 80, Conway was still taking on major changes. In 2001, he relocated to
live with his wife and daughters on a beautiful, spacious spread in north-
central Florida. Surrounded by giant live oaks draped with thick Spanish
moss, Conway's five-building compound lies amid lush horse farms that
stretch out to the horizon.
With Conway's move, though, many wondered: Had the éminence grise finally
settled into a well-earned life of peace and quiet?
Please. You cannot be serious!
Like a lion in winter, Conway began to write more feverishly than ever.
During the last five years of his life, he churned out 10 more books. He
also continued his long association with The Futurist magazine, contributing
articles about everything from desalination and ocean energy to the "super
cities of the future." On top of that, he became perhaps the world's bloggin
'-est octogenarian, frequently posting new ideas and proposals in cyberspace.
Country life similarly couldn't quell his yen to build things he could see
and touch. (This was, after all, a man who'd single-handedly built two of
his homes.) Conway oversaw the construction of a family museum (modesty wasn
't among his virtues), plus wooden platforms arcing out over water. He also
tended his garden and orchard; and he gamely battled a balky "wildflower
demo plot" that resisted all efforts at orderly control.
I Believe I Can Fly
Ah, and then there was the airplane. Incurably smitten by flight as a tyke,
the Ramblin' Wreck from Georgia Tech piloted small private planes all over
God's creation. In almost 60 years of flying, he logged more than 7,000
hours in the air.
The aircraft opened up numerous business avenues, particularly after Conway
created the "airport city" concept. He planned many North American fly-in
communities, most notably developing Spruce Creek near Daytona, Fla. —
still the world's foremost residential airpark.
Planes, however, also provided the perfect outlet for Conway's abiding
passion for adventuring. Inevitably, his flights sometimes tore big chomps
out of the far edges of reason. The hairiest of those sorties predated GPS
navigation systems. Pilots in that era sometimes had to rely instead on "
dead reckoning" — essentially betting their bacon on informed guesses. If
you flew a small prop plane back then, you'd better be good. Mediocre could
get you killed.
Consider Conway's challenging 1965 flight across South America. With his
whole family onboard, he flew a twin-engine prop all the way from the
Pacific to the Atlantic. Conway first crested the peaks of the Andes, then
plunged steeply through a blinding cloudbank into the lush, untamed Amazon
Basin. From there, he flew along the river to navigate across the rest of
South America's breadth.
That course thrust the Conway family into terrain eons removed from
modernization: They landed on primitive, rocky strips; they showered in
rainstorms; they bought a blowgun with poison darts from Peruvian tribesmen.
Somehow, everyone came home alive.
Then there was the Atlanta-to-Europe jaunt that he and daughter Laura flew
in 1980. Their single-engine plane couldn't hold nearly enough fuel to cross
the Atlantic. That left only one way they could make it to Europe: flying a
dangerous leg directly over the foreboding Arctic Circle. But Conway and
his daughter flew that risky leg clean and true, facilitating vital
refueling stops that included Greenland and Iceland. In the end, their plane
touched down in Glasgow, Scotland.
Conway's hell-for-leather sorties, however, weren't without humor. Only
sometimes, the comedy was unintended. Conway's memoirs, for instance,
proudly recollect the times his tiny plane barely scraped over towering
mountaintops. During those potentially fatal moments, Conway wrote, his wife
Becky and daughters Linda and Laura would be "sleeping peacefully around me
."
Quite possibly, of course, lack of oxygen had rendered his family
unconscious. But not, thank God, the pilot.
Last Flight Home
Now the pilot has sailed out past the horizon on a final mission, and he won
't be coming back. He's soaring off instead into yet another adventure,
destination unknown. Wherever Mac Conway sets down, though, there'll be no
sense in trying to stop him. Before the dust of his landing has even lifted,
he'll be off building things.
Things squarely aimed at remaking his surroundings.
Things made of solid stuff.
Things built to last. | b*******8
