Many of us now live in gated communities (封闭式社区). Only people who live there can go freely inside, and only their cars can pass through the gates. But are you hoping for a more open and convenient environment? When gates and walls are gone, everyone can enjoy a city with better traffic, bigger green areas for picnics and more cafes and bookstores to meet your friends.
Turning gated communities into blocks （街区）is one way to achieve this, according to the Chinese government. On Feb 21, China said that gated communities should be open to the public. Open communities have already become popular in many cities of other countries, like Paris, France, and New York City, US. There, the roads, shops and green areas are for everyone.
“Humans need communication and sharing. A good city needs to offer people enough space to do this,” said Wang Weiqiang, an expert (专家) from Tongji University.
Another good change blocks may bring is better traffic in cities, according to Professor Li Hongchang from Beijing Jiaotong University. There will be more roads open to the public. And more people may choose to walk rather than drive cars because they don’t need to take a long way to get around those gated communities.
However, not everyone likes the idea of open communities. Quite a lot of people say they have spent money on the roads inside the communities, and they worry about safety problems when communities are open.
The Chinese government explained that the opening would be carried out step by step and more detailed plans would come out in the future. Also, they have been testing blocks in some areas in Chengdu, Sichuan, and so far it has been working well.
