美国于 2023 年 5 月 11 日宣布 Covid-19 突发公共卫生事件结束。要是关闭对世界上大多数人生活和工作的城市来说如此简单就好了。疫情考验了公共交通和商业地产等关键系统。全面恢复仍然是待办事项,即使城市也在处理刑事司法和气候变化日益恶化的影响(也没有受到影响)。
在这里,《彭博商业周刊》和我们在彭博城市实验室(CityLab)的同事广泛审视了城市面临的问题,并探索了改善它们的想法。我们前往世界上一些最著名的城市——以及其他你可能从未听说过的城市——并就政治阴谋、环境不确定性和全球经济变化的影响进行报道(注,这里需要参考原文)。
这并不全是厄运和阴霾(doom and gloom)。城市是令人兴奋、怪异、充满活力的地方,我们的作家通过在佐治亚州熙熙攘攘的高尔夫球车小径上骑行,检查香港的垂直墓地,并参观地球上最古老的城市 Jericho 的新别墅来捕捉它们的魔力。——约书亚·布鲁斯坦,高级编辑。

The Cities Issue, a Businessweek + CityLab Collaboration
The US declared the end of the Covid-19 Public Health Emergency on May 11, 2023. If only closure were so simple for cities, where most of the world’s people live and work. The pandemic tested key systems such as public transit and commercial real estate. Full recovery remains on the to-do list even as cities also address criminal justice and the ever-worsening impact of climate change.
Here, Bloomberg Businessweek and our colleagues at Bloomberg CityLab take a broad look at what cities are facing and explore ideas to improve them. We travel to some of the world’s most famous cities—and others you’ve probably never heard of—with dispatches on the impacts of political intrigue, environmental uncertainty and shifts in the global economy.
It’s not all doom and gloom. Cities are exciting, weird, dynamic places, and our writers capture their magic by riding along on bustling golf cart paths in Georgia, examining the vertical graveyards of Hong Kong and visiting the new villas rising in Jericho, the oldest city on Earth. —Joshua Brustein, senior editor
