When it comes to the building of cities of the future, all eyes these days, not surprisingly, are on China. 一想到未來城市的建設時，中國毫無意外地成為萬眾矚目的焦點。
And one symbol of China's extraordinary growth isn't Beijing; 140 kilometers southeast -- 而中國不凡成長的其中一個象徵並不是北京，而是位於其東南方一百四十公里處，
just by high-speed train -- 30 minutes, Tianjin. Its growth far outstrips the national average, the middle of a spectacular upgrade. 搭高鐵僅費時三十分鐘就可抵達的天津，其成長更甚正在快速提升的全國平均成長率。
Tianjin, you get three cities for the price of one. In Binhai New Area, there's the development that's driving the whole region's economy. 天津等於三個城市加總的價值。濱海新區具有驅動整個區域經濟的成長動力。
There [are] three cores, each representing some of China's most dynamic sectors: technology, industry, and tourism. 那裡展現三個核心價值，分別代表一些中國最充滿活力的領域：科技、產業及觀光。
Not surprisingly with such growth, it's our "Future City." 它如此的成長表現毫無意外地符合我們對於「未來城市」的概念。
Every city has its shape and size. Here in Tianjin, both are changing. Big, bold construction projects are underway. 每一個城市都有其形狀及規模，而天津的這兩樣正在改變當中。龐大、大膽的建設計畫正如火如荼地進行。
And some, like Binhai New Area, are up to 50 kilometers from the rest of the city. This is much more than a city suburb. 而一些像是濱海新區的地方，與天津的其他地方間隔五十公里，它不只是一個郊區。
It's one of many new dots on the map that surround traditional Tianjin. Eventually, high-speed rail will join these dots. 它是在地圖上環繞傳統天津的許多新點當中的其中一個點。高速鐵路最終將把這些點串連起來。
Nothing really prepares you for the size and scale of the construction underway here. 你無從預期這裡著手進行的建設，將有多大的規模和範圍。
An hour from Tianjin proper, and they're building up a storm. 距離天津這裡約一小時車程，他們正在大舉興建土木。
Binhai includes Yujiapu, a brand-new financial district that will serve the city. 濱海新區涵蓋於家堡，它將是一個提供這座城市金融服務的商圈。
Yujiapu covers 3.86 square kilometers. It will provide modern financial services to not only Tianjin, but also the whole of Northern China. 於家堡共涵蓋三點八六平方公里，它將不只為天津提供現代化金融服務，其服務範圍更達整個中國北部。
Last year, Tianjin's economy grew by 17 percent. For Binhai, the figure was as high as 25 percent. 去年，天津的經濟成長了百分之十七，濱海新區的成長更高達百分之廿五。
All the while, Beijing has now set the national growth target at a mere seven percent. 一直以來，北京政府現在也僅將全國經濟成長目標設為百分之七。
If the central government's idea is for more modest growth, that's a forlorn hope, certainly here in Greater Tianjin. 如果中央政府的用意僅是追求些許的成長，大天津地區無庸置疑成為先鋒。
Behind me they're constructing Yujiapu. The ambition is it competes with Shanghai and Hong Kong. 在我的身後，他們正在建設於家堡，目標是迎頭趕上上海和香港。
It's all part of China's wider ambition to draw more people into its cities, an ambition that will see 50,000 skyscrapers built in the next 15 years. 中國更大的一部分野心則是吸引更多人來到這座城市，未來十五年間，將可見到五萬座摩天大樓落成。
I think I'm lucky. It's my destiny to work in design and to plan this area. 我想我很幸運，能設計並規劃這個區域是我的命運。
Binhai will become the window of Northern China's open and reformed policy towards the world. 濱海新區將成為中國北部實行對世界開放及革新政策的窗口。
We're putting up 122 high buildings here. By early 2015, companies, bankers and financial agencies can start working in these buildings. 我們正在這裡新建一百廿二座大樓。到了二○一五年初，企業、銀行家及金融機構可在這些建築物內展開工作。
And by 2020, everything will be complete. I have to admit that our construction speed at Yujiapu has been much faster than normal speed. 到了二○二○年，一切將準備就緒。我必須承認，我們在於家堡的建設速度已經比一般速度還快了。
In Tianjin, the old is giving way to the new. The ancient traditions are seeking their modern-day incarnations. 在天津，舊事物逐漸被新事物取代。古老的傳統正在尋覓契機成為現代的化身。
The established ways of structuring cities are being tested. A single urban core is no longer the only way to map a city. 城市建設所設立的方法備受考驗。單一的城市核心價值將不再是勾勒城市藍圖的唯一方法。
In China, the need to modernize cities is urgent. Tianjin's urban planning is giving us a glimpse into the future. 中國城市現代化的需求成為當務之急。天津的城市計畫幫助我們透視未來。
