Hong Kong and Shenzhen are each racing to finish multi-billion dollar mega-bridges across the Pearl River Delta to take advantage of inexpensive land and labor costs on the western side.
香港和深圳分别赛车完成数十亿美元的大型桥梁横跨珠三角采取西侧利用廉价的土地和劳动力成本

0:01The final megaproject featured in our series perfectly highlights both China’s ongoing 0:05struggle to maintain its unprecedented growth, and the unbelievable ambition that’s fueling 0:11its rise. 0:12A constant challenge for most big cities is that there’s only so much land to build 0:16on. For Hong Kong and Shenzhen - two neighboring metropolises with a total population of nearly 0:2120 million - the boundary it’s running into is water. Specifically, the Pearl River Delta, 0:28which separates the uber-populated eastern corridor from the far lesser populated cities 0:33of Macau and Zhuhai on its western shore. 0:36Today, to get to Macau (Ma-Cow) after landing at Hong Kong International airport, you are 0:40faced with either a four hour drive around the mouth of the delta, or a long ferry ride 0:46through frequently rough waters. 0:48But that’s about to change, thanks to a $17 billion six-lane, multi-part bridge that 0:54will cut the trip down to a 45 minute drive. 0:57It is an incredibly complex project, and includes cost and construction sharing agreements between

1:02mainland China and its special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macau. 1:07Inspired by both the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel in the US and the Øresund Bridge that connects 1:13Denmark and Sweden, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge will not only have to withstand typhoons, 1:19but to avoid cutting off one of the world’s busiest shipping routes into Hong Kong and 1:24its unusually deep natural harbor it will plunge underwater as a tunnel. And at 28km, 1:31its longest stretch will be as if 15 Golden Gate bridges were lined up end-to-end-to-end-to-end. 1:39And that’s not even the craziest part. Because Shenzhen doesn’t want to be left out, it 1:44too will build a megabridge across the delta just a few miles to the north. 1:50Basically, the region is booming so fast, and competition to tap into the cheaper land 1:55and labor available on the western side is so great, that Shenzhen and Hong Kong have

2:00both committed to building multi-billion dollar megabridges, and will essentially race to 2:06see who finishes theirs first. 2:08As you can see from a close look at the map, cities with populations totaling more than 2:1340 million people surrounding the delta, thus revealing the master plan: to lay the foundation 2:19for China’s second megalopolis, an urban area that could eventually exceed 100 million 2:24residents. 2:25We started this video with Jing-Jin-Ji, and we’re ending it with what I’m calling 2:30Hong-Guang-Zhong. Two megalopolises, each serving as perfect bookends to our story of 2:36China, a country that is counting on infrastructure megaprojects like those we’re profiled to 2:41serve as the foundation for its rapid urbanization. But how well it manages that urbanization 2:47will largely define whether it continues its ambitious rise for the rest of the 21st century. 2:54Thanks for watching.

0:01在我们的系列特色的大型项目最终完美地突出了中国正在进行 0:05努力保持其前所未有的增长，而这助长了令人难以置信的雄心 0:11它的崛起。 0:12对于大多数大城市的一项持续的挑战是，有只建这么多土地 0:16上。对于香港和深圳 - 两次与近总人口的大都市周边 0:21 2000万 - 这是运行到边界是水。具体而言，珠三角， 0:28分隔从遥远的人口较少的城市尤伯杯填充东区走廊 0:33澳门和珠海在它的西部海岸。 0:36如今，降落在香港国际机场后，前往澳门（马牛），你是 0:40面对无论是周围的三角口四个小时的车程，或长时间乘坐渡轮 0:46通过频繁的惊涛骇浪。 0:48但是，这是即将改变，得益于$ 17日十亿六车道，多部分桥 0:54将削减一趟下来要45分钟车程。 0:57这是一个非常复杂的工程，包括之间的成本和施工共享协议

1:02中国大陆和香港，澳门的特别行政区。 1:07双方切萨皮克湾大桥，隧道在美国和连接厄勒海峡大桥的启发 1:13丹麦和瑞典，港珠澳大桥将不仅要承受台风， 1:19但要避免切断世界上最繁忙的航线之一，香港和 1:24其不同寻常的天然深水港将投身水下的隧道。而距28km， 1:31它的最长的一段就好像是15金门桥列队终端到终端到终端到终端。 1:39而这甚至不是最疯狂的一部分。由于深圳不希望被排除在外，它 1:44也将建成特大桥横跨三角洲只有几英里以北。 1:50基本上，该地区正在蓬勃发展如此之快，竞争进军廉价土地 1:55和劳工可在西侧是如此之大，深圳和香港有

2:00双方致力于打造数十亿美元的megabridges，并且将主要以比赛 2:06看看谁完成他们的第一次。 2:08正如你可以从地图上仔细看看到，随着城市的人口总额超过 2:13 4000万人周边三角洲，从而揭示了总体规划：打好基础 2:19为中国的第二大都市，市区，最终可能突破1亿 2:24居民。 2:25我们开始这个视频京津冀，我们正在与我打电话是什么结局呢 2:30洪广钟。两个特大城市，每个作为完美的书挡我们的故事 2:36中国，即基础设施大型项目指望像我们异形一个国家 2:41作为其城市化快速发展的基础。但是，它如何妥善管理，城市化 2:47将在很大程度上确定是否继续在21世纪余下的雄心勃勃的崛起。 2:54感谢收看。并请猛击像按钮分享谈话的这个话题 2:57与您的朋友和追随者，如果你发现它有趣，像我一样，和订阅 3:02如果你还没有这个渠道。直到下一次，为TDC，我布莱斯木板。
