Many of us now live in gated communities (封闭式社区). Only people who live there can go freely inside, and only their cars can pass through the gates. But are you hoping for a more open and c【小题1】 environment? When gates and walls are gone, everyone can enjoy a city with better traffic, bigger green areas for picnics and more cafes and bookstores to meet your friend.

Turning gated communities into blocks is one way to a【小题2】 this, according to the Chinese government. On Feb 21, 2016, China said that gated communities should be open to the public.

Open communities have already become p【小题3】 in many cities of other countries, like Paris an  New York City. There, the roads, shops and green areas are for everyone.

First, humans need communication and sharing. A good city needs to offer people enough space to do this.

A【小题4】 good change blocks may bring is better traffic in cities. There will be more roads open to the public. And more people may choose to walk rather than drive cars because they don’t need to take a long way to get around those gated communities.

However, not everyone likes this idea of open communities. Quite a lot of people say they have s【小题5】 money on the roads inside the communities. There may be too many people and cars coming and going. And they also worry about s【小题6】 problems when communities are open.

The Chinese government explained that the opening would be carried out (实施) step by step and more detailed p【小题7】 would come out in the future. Also, they have been testing blocks in some areas in Chengdu Sichuan, and so far it has been working well.
