The idea of building "New Towns" to absorb growth is frequently considered a cure—all for urban problems. It is wrongly assumed that if new residents can be diverted from existing centers, the present urban situation at least will get no worse. It is further and equally wrongly assumed that since European New Towns have been financially and socially successful, we can expect the same sorts of results in the United States.
Present planning, thinking, and legislation will not produce the kinds of New Town that have been successful abroad. It will multiply suburbs or encourage developments in areas where land is cheap and construction profitable rather than where New Towns are genuinely needed.
Such ill-considered projects not only will fall to relieve pressures on existing cities but will, in fact, tend to weaken those cities further by drawing away high-income citizens and increasing the concentration of lowincome groups that are unable to provide tax income. The remaining taxpayers, accordingly, will face increasing burdens, and industry and commerce will seek escape. Unfortunately, this mechanism is already at work in some metropolitan areas.
The promoters of New Towns so far in the United States have been developers, builders, and financial institutions. The main interest of these promoters is economic gain. Furthermore, federal regulations designed to promote the New Town idea do not consider social needs as the European New Town plans do. In fact, our regulations specify virtually all the ingredients of the typical suburban community, with a bit of political rhetoric (修辞) thrown in.
A workable American New Town formula should be established as firmly here as the national formula was in Britain. All possible social and governmental innovations as well as financial factors should be thoroughly considered and accommodated (容纳)in this policy. Its objectives should be clearly stated, and both incentives and penalties should be provided to ensure that the objectives are pursued, If such a policy is developed, then the New Town approach can play an important role in alleviating America’s urban problems. [br] The success of the New Town approach lies in the fact that ______.
选项
A、penalties will be given to those who are only interested in economic gain
B、a policy with clear objectives will be developed
C、promoters of New Towns will be encouraged
D、governmental innovations and financial factors will be thoroughly considered
答案
B
解析
此题为细节题。根据文章最后两句,在一个可行的美国新城镇规划中,应该明确阐明其目标,同时提供鼓励和惩罚手段来保证目标的实现。如果制定了这样的政策,那么新城镇方案在减轻美国的城市问题方面就能起重要的作用,由此可以判断,B为正确答案。
