(SeaPRwire) – 聖荷西擁有價值2兆美元的AI財富,卻無法解決自身的城市問題。這正是每個城市的共同困境。
《經濟學人》(The Economist)指出,聖荷西是OpenAI與Anthropic兩家尖端人工智慧實驗室的大本營,總市值達2兆美元。此外,還有91家AI獨角獸企業聚集於灣區,為私人市場資本增加600億美元的市值。無論以哪種創新資本衡量標準來看,聖荷西都堪稱地球上技術最先進的城市。然而,該分析也發現,AI所創造的 wealth 並未轉化為廣泛的 urban prosperity(都市繁榮)。中產階級持續縮減。這座城市擁有的科技、資料與創新資本之多,史上無出其右,但其 operating systems(作業系統)仍無法將其中任何一項轉化為 adaptable economic outcomes(適應性經濟成果)。
相同的基礎設施:同樣的一週內過載又閒置
這種測量能力與回應速度之間的落差,在三個地方顯現出來。MTA(大都會運輸署)現在每天發布乘客量數據,顯示出顯著的週中高峰,以及星期一和星期五的急遽下降——隨著混合辦公模式穩定下來,這種 pattern(模式)已成為新的常態。Kastle Systems 公司追蹤了2,600棟建築與41,000家企業的出入管制資料,報告指出:2025年12月,A級辦公大樓 occupancy( occupancy )在 peak Tuesday( peak 星期二)達到95.5%,而所有受監控建築的平均 occupancy 僅為 pandemic 前水平的31%。這些城市在同一週內, infrastructure(基礎設施)會同時出現過載與閒置的狀態。
許可制度也講述了 parallel story(平行故事)。聖荷西正深陷嚴重的 housing crisis(住房危機)之中。根據KQED對規劃部門資料的分析,從2024年1月至2025年8月,該市 median housing-permit processing time( median 房屋許可處理時間)從605天縮短到280天,確實是一項 genuine, hard-won improvement(真實且艱辛的成果)。但280天仍意味著, city(城市)是以九個月為單位來回應 housing shortage(住房短缺),而租金卻是 real-time(即時)變動的。KQED 還發現,截至2025年10月,仍有超過1,300份申請 pending( pending ),平均等待時間高達1,489天。系統變快了,但仍跟不上問題的腳步。
在紐約市, rideshare(共乘服務) pickup(接載點)與 last-mile delivery(最後一哩配送)的爆炸性增長,壓垮了為不同時代設計 curb-side infrastructure(路邊停車空間)。市長 Mamdani 於2026年4月 launching a new Office of Curb Management( launching a new Office of Curb Management )以 overseeing( overseeing )6,300英里的 street-side lanes( street-side lanes ),這是一項 bureaucratic response( bureaucratic response )到一個問題存在多年後才跟上治理架構的問題。這種 lag( lag ) captures the pattern( captures the pattern )。
governance built for stability in an era of constant change( governance built for stability in an era of constant change )
問題是結構性的。 municipal systems(市政系統)是在條件變化緩慢的時代圍繞 deliberation( deliberation )、 accountability( accountability )與 risk mitigation( risk mitigation )而演進。如今,這些系統面臨的是 condition shift constantly( condition shift constantly )的環境,但 governance structures( governance structures )卻 fragmentation authority( fragmentation authority )並 delay coordination( delay coordination )。
城市中的每一棟建築都是這個 system(系統)的一個節點。辦公大樓在星期一清空; mixed-use development( mixed-use development ) waiting 1,489 days for permits( waiting 1,489 days for permits ); lobby competing with delivery drivers for curbside access( lobby competing with delivery drivers for curbside access )。當這些 nodes( nodes )產生 real-time data( real-time data ) about how people actually use space( about how people actually use space )並將之 feeding into( feeding into ) surrounding systems( surrounding systems ),城市就會 learning( learning )。當它們處於黑暗狀態,城市就只能 guessing( guessing )。大多數城市 still guessing( still guessing )。
新加坡提供了一個 counterexample( counterexample ):其 Smart Nation initiative( Smart Nation initiative ) connected transport systems across government departments( connected transport systems across government departments )並 deployed the GLIDE adaptive signal network( deployed the GLIDE adaptive signal network ),根據 real-time traffic demand( real-time traffic demand )調整 green-light timing( green-light timing )。新加坡 land transport authority( land transport authority ) reports that the system cut average travel times by 30% and reduced congestion at major intersections by 15%。這項成果並非來自更好的 sensors( sensors ),新加坡已有 sensors decades( decades )。而是來自 enabling real-time decision-making across functions( enabling real-time decision-making across functions )的 governance architecture( governance architecture ),這是大多數美國 cities( cities )至今 still lacking( still lacking )。
programmable cities actually require( programmable cities actually require )
新加坡證明了 adaptive urban systems( adaptive urban systems )在 governance enables them( governance enables them )時確實可行。對於美國 cities( cities )而言,真正要實現的目標是什麼?答案超越了 smarter sensors( smarter sensors )或 better analytics( better analytics )。它需要 truly programmable infrastructure( truly programmable infrastructure ),根據 real-time conditions( real-time conditions )而非 quarterly planning cycles( quarterly planning cycles )自我 reconfiguring( reconfiguring )。
這 demands governance models( demands governance models ) enabling faster decision-making without sacrificing accountability( enabling faster decision-making without sacrificing accountability )。它 demands procurement frameworks( demands procurement frameworks ) allowing cities to test, learn, and scale solutions in months rather than years( allowing cities to test, learn, and scale solutions in months rather than years )。它 demands cross-department coordination( demands cross-department coordination ) operating through shared data infrastructure( operating through shared data infrastructure )並 building designed for continuous recalibration( buildings designed for continuous recalibration )而非 fixed configurations( fixed configurations )——那些 configuration( configuration )在二十年前或許合理。
最重要的是,它要求 acceptance( acceptance ) that volatility is permanent( that volatility is permanent )。Tuesday parking shortage( Tuesday parking shortage )與 Monday emptiness( Monday emptiness )不再是 anomalies( anomalies )需被修正;它們是 new operating conditions( new operating conditions )。 clinging to stability as a design principle( clinging to stability as a design principle )的城市將持續建設 infrastructure( infrastructure ) for a demand pattern( for a demand pattern ) that no longer exists( that no longer exists )。
技術 already exists( already exists )。資料 already flows( already flows )。問題在於 governance structures( governance structures )與 procurement models( procurement models )能否 evolution fast enough( evolution fast enough ) to use them( to use them )。 figure this out( figure this out )的城市不僅能從過去五年的 disruption( disruption )中 recovery( recovery );它們還將 compound( compound )那些讓它們 initially powerful( initially powerful )的 advantage( advantage )。 others( others )將持續 publishing dashboards( publishing dashboards ) showing exactly what is going wrong( showing exactly what is going wrong ),而 underlying system( underlying system )則 running on outdated code( running on outdated code )。
