未来城市会成为加密城市吗？内华达沙漠实验也许能给出答案
Could Future Cities be Crypto Cities? A Nevada Desert Experiment May Give an Answer

这个世界愈发地痴迷于比特币背后的分散式技术区块链的开发潜力，数字加密货币百万富翁兼律师Jeffrey Berns购买了美国内华达沙漠附近一块面积达67000英亩的巨大地皮，作为围绕这项技术运转的 “实验型社区”。

其公司Blockchains LLC与Tom Wiscombe Architecture事务所、Ehrlich Yanai Rhee Chaney Architects (EYRC)事务所共同合作，设计了一种“创新型公园”，这个将发展成一座智能城市，其中所有的基础设施都来源于分散式技术区块链。

In a world increasingly obsessed with the potential of Blockchain (the decentralized technology behind Bitcoin), lawyer and cryptocurrency millionaire Jeffrey Berns has purchased an enormous 67,000-acre plot of the Nevada desert near Reno envisioned as an “experimental community” revolving around the technology.
His company, Blockchains LLC, has worked in collaboration with Tom Wiscombe Architecture and Ehrlich Yanai Rhee Chaney Architects (EYRC) to design “Innovation Park” which will be “developed into a smart city with decentralized Blockchain underlying all infrastructure.”



这座城市结合了住宅、学校、金融、商业、零售等概念，并且充分应用了新兴技术。项目以高效、可持续、透明性、起源等原则为基础，还结合有循环使用的自动车辆、大型建筑的理念，并增强了以人为中心的步行体验，最终通过大型城市空间里的绿色院落而综合表达。

The city will be a mixed-use economy of housing, schools, financial, business, and retail concepts all taking advantage of emerging technologies. Based on the principles of efficiency, sustainability, transparency, and provenance, the scheme will feature autonomous vehicles circulating throughout vast buildings, married with a human-centric pedestrian experience through shaded green courtyards in large civic-scale spaces.



住宅的能源来源于新一代的太阳能和风能，同时珍贵的水资源也得以回收利用，“从每一滴水中获得最大的收益”。住宅类型十分丰富，其中有单身公寓、二人世界、家庭住宅，另外还有山坡住宅和公共生活区。

Energy for homes will be harnessed by next-generation solar and wind sources, while precious water will be recycled and reclaimed “to get the most from every drop.” Residential typologies will accommodate individuals, couples, and families, ranging from hillside homes to communal living.



据《纽约时报》报道，Berns对于这个项目的信心来源于其Ether的所有权，Ether是一种结合了数字加密技术Ethereum的数字货币。Berns相信，在他的加密领域中，人们能够拥有Ethereum地址，这些地址用于对当地措施进行投票和个人数据存储的工作之中，同时不受中央政府的干预。

As reported by The New York Times, Berns’ faith in the project stems from his ownership of Ether, a digital token associated with the cryptocurrency Ethereum. Berns believes that in his crypto-landscape, people will own Ethereum addresses, used to vote on local measures and store personal data, without the interference of a central government.
