Recently reading a book about human mobility, a major problem explored is: Where will you live in 2050?And this is also the author Prag.Parag Khanna's preface topic.The 45 -year -old trend research expert believes that after the crown disease has disappeared, human beings will restart the size of mobile or migration of size, which is not only for economic, trade, tourism or study tourism, but also find opportunities and survival-Driven by the disease, war, social turmoil or poverty, climate change, etc., just like how our parents or ancestors migrated to different places and cities.
Kona was a senior researcher at the Asia and Globalization Center of Lee Kuan Yew Public Policy, and the mob (MOVE: The Forces Uprooting US) published in 2021. The above preface mentioned some of the declined factories in Lake District, Michigan, the United States.Town's recent situation.
So coincidentally, when the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Huang Xuncai delivered a keynote speech on March 11 at the 55th Wharton Business School Global Forum, it also mentioned that the towns of Lake District, Michigan, especially in the 19th century, especially in the 19th century.It's called Singapore.
According to the information, the Kalamazoo River in Michigan's state in the 19830s had a small town in the 19830s. At that time, the locals heard that the British opened a port called "Singapore" in Asia in 1819, and it was vibrant.Better, he named Singapore for the town to attract the vessels in Lake Michigan.
As a large amount of white pine wood can be obtained, Singapore Town soon becomes the hub of wood and shipbuilding.However, in 1871, several large cities in Michigan, including Chicago, were devoured by the fire, cutting down the large forests around Singapore town in order to reconstruct, the wood industry faded, and the manufacturers moved away.In just 40 years, this prosperous town was gradually drowned by the sand dunes formed by the sandstorm, which became a waste city in 1875.Now there is only one notice board in Hekou, which records it.Huang Xuncai borrowed the story of Singapore's Singapore town, showing that Singapore maintains its value and influence.This small town is similar to other towns in history, "but we want to let Singapore in Southeast Asia survive not only survive and exist, but to prosper."
Longevity and prosperity requires people to peace and place, and Singapore is located. It is not that we can control but have the opportunity to create and change, and this requires great people.When employed and creating the sky and create the sky, Singapore has always been constantly moving forward, so as to make our island country endless.Kona said that mobile is humanity, because creative machine luck and change of destiny are the instincts of human beings to survive and explore a better life.In other words, Singapore should not become a waste city for people to go to the building, and it is necessary to maintain the value of the people's heartpower and livable cities.
Interestingly, when Kona answered "Where will you live in 2050" herself, he said that when scanning the world to find rich freshwater, progressive governance, and the geographical location that might attract innovative corporate talents, he and himColleagues decided to live in Michigan.Because some of the cities in the local Greater Lake District, such as Detroit, are preparing to rise for the arrival of the electric car century.Corona's view of another turnaround is that the relationship between the United States and Canada will be closer. Detroit is expected to play in the thriving Chicago -Toronto Corridor.This also proves that yesterday's waste city can be rejuvenated by creating the wisdom, perseverance, and beliefs that the time and the place and the wisdom, the wisdom, perseverance and belief they rely on.
It must be mentioned that the location of the location since Singapore Kaifu is because it keeps open. Foreign resources and foreign populations have been supplemented with our gap in talent and resources, excessively sensitive or one -size -fits knifeHe is deemed to be the competition for occupying the rights and interests of the locals and corporates, which is to create obstacles to the local interests and conditions and conditions that we are.If the vision of the small country and the treating people are always stingy, the opportunity will only flow to others.
Small countries must develop their horizons and create endless favorable conditions. They must not only attract and attract talents in local investment promotion, but also strengthen their mobility -go out.And this is not just a local company going out.
Singapore and Indonesia have recently signed memo, allowing science and technology professionals under 30 years of age to have the opportunity to work in the country's country for one year and gain work experience in the local science and technology field.This is to deepen the connection between the scientific and technological ecosystems of the two countries and let young technology professionals seize the opportunities of the digital economy in each other's countries.When President Halima recently officially visited Malaysia, he also called on young people in the two places to communicate more to get more familiar with each other in the process of growing up.This is also the creation of people and conditions for the long -term close relationship between the two countries.When the Singaporeans enjoy the peace and career, they cannot close themselves and ignore everything.
We are accustomed to people from other places to come here to discuss life. Exploring opportunities and better life is a major reason for human movement, but learning to get along with others and cooperate with others to create mutual trust and reciprocal conditions should also be more and more complicated.In the domestic and foreign environments, the motivation to go out well, even the necessary homework.What we need to strengthen is the generosity and sustainability of human movement, as well as the mobility that we can go out to learn and develop horizons and cooperation.
Kona imagined future cities are not a large number of high -tech smart cities, but the planning and design of cities, focusing on whether they can intelligently accommodate different classes, including the life and needs of the mobile population.We need such wisdom and preparation.
