乌节路的历史
    乌节路位于新加坡的中心位置，在中心商业区上方。尽管据发现认为，它以前的终结点是DHOBY GHAUT地区，现在它的范围已从唐林路一直延伸到BRAS BASAH路。不象新加坡的其他街道，乌节路并不是因为某位特别的人物而命名的。相反，它的名字来自于19世纪40年代沿街道种植的肉豆蔻和辣椒。少量的居住在这里象SCOTTS，DAIRNHILL，和CUPPAGE一样的种植主，他们就对现在街道的名字很熟悉。
    乌节路的南部没有房屋建筑。由于城市从PADANG地区向内地发展和进步，乌节地区的种植业让步给了住宅的发展。很多私人住宅，主要是PERANAKAN形式的平房开始在苏格兰路和唐林路地区占据主导地位。城市发展过程中，乌节路和SOMEREST路的商业住宅修建得离DHOBY GHAUT更近了。
    在20世纪，一种奇怪的疾病传播到了肉豆蔻的种植上，用了一年的时间才除掉这种病。与此同时，经济开始在乌节路发展。这也标志着乌节路开始向今天这个生机勃勃的经济区的发展进步。1917年，新加坡冷藏公司开设了一家分配食物供给的商店。冷藏公司也建立了第一家把冰激凌介绍到新加坡的超市。乌节路市场为当地居民提供了新鲜的产品，而在KRAMAT路萌芽发展的汽车工厂也为不断增长的汽车提供了服务。20世纪50年代，CK TANG在乌节路建立了一家购物中心。KOEK上的咖啡店和小摊贩的摊子是很受人们欢迎的吃饭的地方。从60年代到70年代，LIDO电影院，乌节戏院，来福村和杰克保龄等娱乐中心相继开放。像CAIRNHILL牛排店，PAVILION牛排店，MANT‘DOR咖啡厅这样的餐饮场所也受到了新加坡本地人和移居来的人们的共同喜爱。
    70到80年代，发展的脚步迈得更大更快。FORUM内陆酒店，MING COURT，潜水艇和希尔顿酒店被建成来帮助新加坡旅游业的发展。大型的诸如PLAZA SINGAPORE，远东和中心点购物中心被建成了，从而来增强和补充新加坡以至于世界的商业中心的发展。经过人们一砖一瓦的努力，玻璃钢塔建成了，曾经布满泥辙的乌节路成为了正处于上升期的生活商业中心。
    今日的乌节路
    今日的乌节路是一个繁荣的忙碌的，使人能够体会到乐趣的，融合了东西方文化的地方。新加坡因为新建造的玻璃钢塔闪闪发光，这里也还有更多使它发光的东西。同时，乌节路也不会忘记赐予它美丽的根茎，那些多叶的ANGSANA树，茂盛的人行道边的树木，这一切都显示出一种热带的浪漫。
    购物
    新加坡永远都无愧于作为一个世界大型购物中心的美誉。在这里，你可能看到来自欧洲的设计者的标签与亚洲各国的动费单。我们有着适合不同游客需求的专卖店，本地和国际的购物中心，特产商店和集贸市场。
    节日和娱乐
    各种各样的亚洲节日，世界级的娱乐、艺术、和文化活动都可以在这里找到。精彩的庆祝活动和节日是许多庆祝饮食，购物，文化，音乐和艺术活动的开始。最近在好来坞和亚洲出现的为了迎合新加坡人对电影无法满足的口味而拍摄出的赛璐璐，同时来自不计其数和爵士俱乐部，卡拉OK歌厅，迪斯科舞厅和露天啤酒花园的无休止的音乐也使乌节路成为了今天折中主义者聚集的场院所。
    饮食
    除去购物以外，没有什么比饮食更贴近新加坡人的心了。正如反映在不可想象的各种菜单的展示中一样，乌节路正在面对这样的挑战。这里有最好的五星级酒店的国际化烹饪方法，大型或小型购物中心里空调环境下的餐饮摊位，或者沿街闲逛时碰到露天咖啡座，果酒或啤酒花园，可以坐下小憩观赏景色。对于所有人，对于各种口味来说，乌节路都是一道丰盛的宴席。 　
HISTORY OF ORCHARD ROAD
0rchard Road is located in the heart of Singapore , just above the Central Business District .It stretches from Tanglin Road to Bras Basah Road, although it has been observed that 0rchard Road traditionally ends in the Dhoby Ghaut Area.
Unlike many roads in Singapore,0rchard Road was mot named after any particular person.Instead,0rchard Road got its name from the many nutmeg and pepper plantations that lined the street during the 1840s. Thinly populated, only residents were plantation owners like Scotts, Cairnhill, and Cuppage, whose namesare familiar as street names today.

There were no houses to the south of 0rchard Road. As the city developed and progressed inland from the Padang area, the plantations in 0rchard area , the plantations in orchard area gave way to residential development. Many private houses, mainly bungalows of the old peranakan style, began to dominate the Scotts Road and Tanglin Road and areas. Shophouse developments were built in the orchard Road and Somerset Road areas closer to Dhoby Ghaut as the city grew.

In the 1900s,a mysterious disease swept through the nutmeg plantations, wiping them out within a year. At the same time , commercial developments began at 0rchard Road. This signalled the evolution of 0rchard Road into the vibrant commercial district of today. In1917, the Singapore Cold Storage Company opened a store to distribute food supplies. Cold storage was also the first supermarket to introduce ice-cream to Singapore. The 0rchard Road Market provided fresh produce for the residents. Motor workshops sprouted around the Kramat Road area to service the growing number of vehicles.

In the 1950s ,CK Tang opened a departmental store at 0rchard Road. The coffee shops and hawker stalls at Koek Lane were favourite eating places.

Through the 1960s and into 1970s, entertainment centres such as Lido Cinema, 0rchard Theatre, Raffles village and Jackie’s Bowl were opened. Eating places such as Cairnhill Steak House, Pavilion Steak House, Mont’dor Café were popular with Singaporeans and expatriates alike.

In the 1970s through the 1980s, development intensified. Hotels such as Forum Inter-Continental, Ming Court, Mandarin and Hilton were built to serve the booming tourist industry in Singapore. Huge departmental stores such as Plaza Singapura, Far East Shopping Centre and Centrepoint were built to reinforce Singapore’s as the emporium to the world. Brick by brick, and block by block, towers of glass and steel line what used to be mud-tracks to make 0rchard Road the upbeat lifestyle hub it is today.

ORCHARD ROAD TODAY
The 0rchard Road of today is a rich and exciting experience to delight the senses, bustling with a vibrant mix of East and West. It glistens with new towers of steel and glass, glittering examples of the things that Singapore has to offer. Yet 0rchard Road never forgets its botanical roots ,with leafy Angsana trees and lush landscaping lining the walkways, exuding a shade of tropical romance.

Shopping
Singapore never fails to live up to its name as an emporium to the world. Desinger labels from Europe are displayed next to the exotic fare of Asia. Designer boutiques, local and international department stores,specialty shops and bargain bazaars compete for the visitor’s affections.

Festivals and Entertainment
World-Class entertainment, arts and cultures from around the globe inter-mingle with the sounds and sights of Asian Festivals. Wild and wonderful celebrations and festive lightups mark the start of Singapore’s many festivals that celebrate food, shopping, culture, music and the arts. The latest Hollywood and Asian blockbusters are screened in multi-plex celluloid temples to cater to the Singaporean’s insatiable appetite for movies whilst an endless flow of music from the numerous jazz clubs, karaoke bars, discotheques and open air beer gardens makes 0rchard Road the eclectic people-place it is today.
Dining
Besides shopping, nothing is closer to a Singaporean’s heart than food. And 0rchard Road steps up to the challenge as reflected in the incredible array of menus, al fresco delis to from. The finest international cuisines in five-star hotels, al fresco, delis to air-coditioned food courts in shopping centres large and small. Simply stroll down the street and find an open-air café, wine bar or beer garden to sit and people-watch. For all people, for all tastes, 0rchard Road is a feast of plenty.

    砍特大街、哥哈奔、科尔市场
　　这个维也纳最著名的步行区坐落在该市第一行政区，维也纳位于市中心。它由砍特大街、哥哈奔和科尔市场三部分组成。由于它的形状很特殊，像个U字，在维也纳又拥有独一无二的地理位置，所以也被称为金色的U字。
　　什么是维也纳的步行区所特有，并且可以与其它城市的商业街相区别的呢？那就是在这条街上国际名牌与典型的维也纳家庭企业融洽地共同存在着，所有国际的、国家的以及地区的知名品牌，都可以在这里找到，所以这条街不仅是维也纳人最爱去的地方，而且也是奥地利人甚至所有旅游者购物的必到之处。
　　除此以外，这条街还有一个奇怪的现象，就是新、旧建筑风格的并存。传统建筑与现代建筑风格描绘出一幅图画，它清楚地表明，老的传统被尊重，但是现代的发展被公然地迎头赶上。
　　在砍特大街的入口处坐落着世界最著名的歌剧院--维也纳国家歌剧院。在金色的U字的中央地带则坐落维也纳最大、最重要的主教教堂--史蒂芬教堂。
　　当我们闲逛到这个步行区的终点时，等待我们的是米夏埃尔广场和米夏埃尔门。从米夏埃尔门可以通向维也纳胡浮堡皇宫--以前的国王和现在的联邦总统都可以在里面行使权力。
　　如果我们寻找现代建筑的影子，人们首先可以看到维也纳史特菲尔（一个传统的百货商场）和她现代化的玻璃正墙。而另外一个如此设计的哈斯大楼，史蒂芬教堂可以从他的外侧看到自己反射出的影子。
　　多种多样的食品供应很完善，从方便的快餐到高雅的饮食都可以在这里找到，人们可以很容易地享受世界各地的美食。而对于维也纳人特别方便的是这里有个莎尼花园。在欣赏街景和购物满意而归后，维也纳人和他们的客人都喜欢到莎尼公园去休息一下，放松自己的心灵。
　　到这条街上来，一个首要的小支出就是花在公共交通工具上面。在砍特大街的入口就有地铁1路、2路和4路的停靠站。位于砍特大街和哥哈奔之间的史蒂芬广场上，就有地铁1路的停靠站。除此之外，歌剧院前面，史蒂芬广场旁边和米夏埃尔广场里面，都有繁忙工作着的出租汽车站。
　　拥有53400平方米购物面积的该步行区，是奥地利增长最大的商业区。而拥有年销售额40亿的这条商业街，也是奥地利其他城市所没有的。每平方米销售额达到75000ATS，--这使国际康采恩都对这条商业街有着高度兴趣。而实际应用的购物面积是根据需求情况而定的。虽然这里每平方米的月租费高达10000ATS，但是需求并没有被打破。不过，尽管商业街的基础条件很让人乐观，但是还是面临很多挑战，这却非瑞士人自己所能解决的。高销售额所带来的益处越多，我们所面临的诱惑也就越大。首先是私人的家庭企业，很容易败给国际康采恩巨大的有吸引的供货水平，如果不采取相应的措施来抵制这种情况的发展，我们将在一个危险的悬崖边上徘徊--那就是国际连锁店和私人的家庭企业消失，取而代之形成一条国际交换街。
　　另一个问题是停车的问题，由于车辆越来越多，现存的停车位远不够用。设置停车系统和新建停车位至少可以减轻这种情况。另外，人们也应该试着尽量使用公共交通工具。
　　在20年的建造之后，很多现代的元素已经融入建筑中，并将在今后的几年中继续发展变化，为了在保存这条商业街现有建筑结构的基础上，尽量完善它，这条街上所有的雇主在一起开了一个“城市讨论会”，会上讨论并制定了很多问题的解决方案，把大家的目标协调一致，并要在会后继续推进改革。在这几年里，行动一致的改革已经给这条商业街带来了巨大的进步，而今后这个工作将被继续扩大。特别是为了使商品适应市场需求而集体降低销售价格，将是今后工作的重点和难点。
　　通过集体降价的行为，不仅向维也纳人，而且也向所有的客人证明，维也纳不仅是一座音乐和艺术的城市，也是一座具有吸引力的商业城市。

    新宿购物街位于新宿，东京的中心。1601年，爱都少干内特（Edo shogunate）修建了5条公路。新宿的历史起源于“Oiwake”，意思指的就是五条公路中考梳大街（Koshu Kaido Avenue）又叫考梳公路和奥姆大街(Ome Kaido Avenue)，又叫奥姆公路的分岔点。
    爱都少干内特（Edo Shogunate）沿考梳公路建起了33个通邮的市镇。由于是从Nihonbashi到第一个通邮镇的一条长路，一个起始点，“Naito新宿”1697年建在Nihonbashi和Takaido中间的位置。这就是新宿这个地名的起源。新和宿分别代表新的和通邮的市镇。
    现在新宿车站是公共路线（日本东铁路）私家铁路（Odakyu路线，Keio路线，seinu到新宿路线，Marunouchi地铁路线，首都到新宿的地铁路线，和Oedo路线）的重要重点站。它平均每天控制着3百60万旅客的出行，比国内其它任何一个城市的流量都要大。
    新宿车站的西部已经成为了日本摩天大楼最多的地区。48层243米高的东京市政府办公大厦1991年建成。从大楼的阳台观看全景在人们中间十分普遍和流行。
    日本东京铁路大厦的总办公室和一个大型的购物中心都坐落在车站的南部。而繁忙的娱乐区，Kabudicho则位于车站北边。
    新宿购物街促进组织包括120家商店，从车站前的的广场开始算起，它们都位于900米长的新宿大街的街道两边。它们全都是著名的商店，有大型的购物中心(Lsetan,Mitsudoshi,和Marui),书店(Kinokuniya),食品杂货店和饭馆(Nakamuraya 和Takano)，以及一家美术用品商店(Sekaido)。以男装、女装、鞋、手袋划分的商店也在这条大街上。目前，杂货店和计算机房集中在这一区，年轻人喜欢围在Alta大厦的电视演播室前观看娱乐节目。这一地区已经成为了日本最大的商业区。现在我们组织的基本计划是发展商业，同时为建立一个更和谐的社区而努力。最主要的目的是通过在广告和环保发展上的进一步合作结出丰硕果实。
    至于具体步骤，我们用中国制造的6厘米厚的花岗石板铺设了人行道，让人们觉得好放松，也使这条充满吸引力的购物大街显得友好。现代时尚的街灯使得社区安全，也很令人愉快。每月的第二和第四个星期一，我们都会打扫东出口外的车站广场，我们把此称为“清洁新宿运动”。每年我们还参加四、五次新宿市“禁止乱扔垃圾”（关于不许在新宿指明的地区乱扔瓶罐、烟头、口香糖和纸屑的城市禁令的运动）。
    说到共同的广告，写着“这里是Oiwake的陶瓷匾在新宿在新宿Dori大街的Oiwake十字路口竖立起来，用来庆祝Naito新宿通邮镇建立300周年。
    每年的活动如下：
    1花节（从三月中旬到四月初）
    街灯会被人造的樱花装饰着。在这条街上漫步的时候，人们将会感受到春天的气息。
    2新宿节（十月）
    大学生的行军演习和由很多被鲜花装点的彩车组成的“花之幻想曲”的游行沿新宿Dori大街行进。
    3圣诞节
    街灯各种圣诞装饰物打扮起来。58盏灯被旗子装饰着，作为庆祝2001年开始的主题——“欢迎2001年来新宿”。
    我们不仅仅出售商品，也同时为人们提供一个安全、清洁、令人愉快的购物城。我们力图通过为常来这里的顾客提供最新最有用的信息建立一条充满魅力和活力的大街。

Shinjuku Odori Shopping Street is located in shinjuku, the center of Tokyo in 1601,Edo Shogunate established five highways. The history of Shinjuku has originated from “Oiwake” which means the diverging point of “Koshu Kaido avenue”(koshu Highway)and “Ome Kaido Avenue”(Ome Highway) of five highways.
Edo Shogunate set up thity-three post towns along the Koshu Highway. Since it was a long way from Nihonbashi, a starting point to the first post town Takaido,“Naito Shinjuku” was set up halfway between Nihonbashi and Takaido in 1697.This is the origin of the place name “shinjuku”,The words “shin” and “juku” mean “new” and “post town”
Nowadays Shinjuku station is an important terminus of public (Japan Railway East )and private railways (Odakyu line, Keio line, Seibu-Sinjuku line, Subway Marunouchi line, Metropolitan-Subway Shinujku line and Oedo line).

    建造库弗斯坦达姆大街的主张是由城市建筑师J.A.W von Carstenn-Lichterfelde提出的。1870年他就提议让由市区向西到古耐沃德（GRUNEWALD）森林皇家狩猎区的汽车路成为30米宽的大道。而因为巴黎普斯爱丽丝（CHAMPS-ELYSEES）的例子，Otto von Bismarck 更坚持认为宽度应该扩展到54米。这条大街从特伽坦斯（Tiergartenstrasse）岔出，建立了一条以八月维克多利亚地区（AUGUSTE-VIKTORIA-PLATZ）（即现在的布里斯配德BREITSCHEIDPLATZ）的动物园（即现在的布达配斯特BUDAPESTER STEASSE）南部为起点的路线。那里也是后来威廉姆帝（KAISER WILHELM）纪念堂的所在地。人们把这条大街昵称为“库达姆”。绿树成行的街道通往西部，直达瀚蓝斯湖（HALENSEE）。19世纪80年代到90年代，沿西南方向，与古耐沃德（GRUNEWALD）（离比斯马克BISMARCKPSATZ很近）的别墅毗邻，盖起了很多富丽堂皇的住宅。19世纪的由彼特约瑟夫林（PETER JOSEPHLENNE）和杰姆斯好波克（JAMES HOBRECHT）起草的城市扩张计划包括了很多相似的绿树成行的街道，与18世纪弗来瑞克特（FRIEDRICHSTADT）的巴拉克（BAROQUE）地区发展计划形成对比。
    库弗斯坦达姆大街很快发展为了一个重要的购物大道，并且伴随着很多的艺术咖啡屋、剧场、戏院、和电影院。它的吸引力集中体现了繁荣的20年代的充满活力的文化生活。
    第二次世界大战以后，这一区域的功能是作为被分开的西半部城市的商业区，继续扮演它作为娱乐和商业中心的角色。这样它也成为了50年代德国经济奇迹的证言。公众生活集中在亚当奥尔（ADENAUERPLATZ）和布里斯配德（BREITSCHEIDPLATZ）之间的地区，而大街上时尚公寓排列成行的西部地区往住宅区的发展方向更加贴近。70年代，街道的华丽由于快餐店和廉价商店的增多而在某种程度上有所减弱。但是市政府和房产主在80年代都加入到提升城市形象的力量中来。努力的一部分成果就是在布里斯配德（BREITSCHEIDPLATZ）建成的新式喷泉。
    再次统一之后，东西商业区中心（库弗斯坦达姆，弗来瑞克特FRIEDRICHSTADT，亚历山大ALEXANDERPLATZ）之间的竞争更高程度上促进了库弗斯坦达姆地区的进步。今天，它再次成为高级时装和时尚商店汇集的首要地区。经过查络特伯格（CHARLOTTENBURG）和威末斯道夫（WIMERSDORF）区的库弗斯坦达姆持久的吸引力要归功于街边的特色风景，
    ——那就是购物，办公，以及居住空间依然保持着的协调与平衡。
The Kufrurstendamm
The idea for creating the Kurfurstendamm stems from the town-builder J.A.W von Carstenn-Lichterfelde, who proposed around 1870 that the riding path leading
Westwards from the city to the royal hunting lodge in the Grunewald forest become a 30metre wide grand boulevard. With the Champs-Elysees in Paris in mind , Otto von Bismarck insisted on increasing the width to an even grander 54 metres. The street. branched off from Tiergartenstrasse and established a route beginning south of the Zoological Gardens (today Budapester Strasse)at Auguste-Viktoria-Platz(today Breitscheidplatz)where the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church was later built. Nick named the “Ku’damm”, the tree-lined avenue leads further westwards to the lake at Halensee. Along the southwest it borders the villa colony of Grunewald (near Bismarckplatz today), developed with palatial homes during the 1880s and 90s.The 19th –century city expansion plans drawn up by Peter Joseph Lenne and James Hobrecht included many similarty tree-lined streets, a contrast to the 18th-century Baroque era development of Friedrichstadt.

The Kurfurstendamm soon developed into an important shopping boulevard with many artists cafes, theatres, variety theatres, and cinemas: its attractions epitomised the exuberant cultural life of the roaring twenties.

Arter the Second World War, the area took on the function of a downtown for the western half of the divided city, resuming its role as an entertainment and commercial centre thus bearing testimony to the German economic miracle of the ‘50s.Public life centred on the area between Adenauerplatz and Breitscheidplatz, while the western portion of the street, lined with fashionable apartment houses, was more residential. During the’ 70s ,the street’s splendour declined somewhat with the addition of fast-food restaurants and inexpensive shops But the city administration and landlords joined forces in the ’80s to upgrade its appearance. Part of this effort was the new fountain built at Breitscheidplatz.

After reunification, the rivalry between the west and east downtown city centres (Kurfurstendamm, Friedrichstrasse, Alexanderplatz) further motivated improvements made in the Kurfurstendamm area. Today it is once again a prime location for luxury boutiques and fashionable shops The lasting attraction of the Kurfurstendamm, which passes through the districts of Charlottenburg and Wilmersdorf, owes much to the character of the sidestreets, where a good balance of shopping, office, and residential spaces is still maintained.

    明洞商业街，面积0.44km2常住人口5千人,比起作为居住地的功能，作为典型的商街，1天的流动人口超过200万，每年400万人以上的外国观光客来此，是韩国最好的购物、观赏场所，2000年3月被政府指定为观光特区。
    在此地很好地保存着中国大使馆、明洞圣堂等韩国文物级建筑物，同时也是拥有超现代戏式大型购物广场和商场、观光酒店、100多家金融机构、数千家服装及各种服饰专卖店、饮食、娱乐、休闲等多种多样的观光资源和便利设施的天赐之观光胜地，引领最新潮流的时尚之街，充满年轻与生动感的活力之街，受到韩国人喜爱的韩国最好的商业街。
    特别是在这里，1980年以后的一段时间里，热望韩国民主化的示威队把宗教设施明洞圣堂当全集会处，整天与警察对峙，满是催泪弹，感到商街存亡危机的商人们于1990年结成了[明洞商街繁荣会]，宣布[和平之街]努力促使示威队和警察消失，在创造在和平的氛围中享受庆典的今日明洞方面具有深远意义之街。
