论城市河流健康与城市发展的关系

城市发展与城市河流健康有着密不可分的关系。城市河流健康是指河流的自然状态健康以及能提供良好的生态环境、社会服务功能，满足人类社会的可持续发展需求，最终形成人类对河流的开发与保护保持平衡的良性循环。河流作为城市中最重要的自然载体，其健康与否关系到城市布局，环境、文化、政治、经济和安全等城市发展的各个方面。但在城市化的进程中，河流又受人口增长和工业扩张带来的水体污染、水源短缺与河道淤积等健康问题的威胁。做到城市与河流共同发展的根本途径是建立人与河流和谐共存的生态文明社会，城市的可持续发展以河流健康为依托，在进行河流水资源开发、利用和进行工程建设的同时，重视水资源的节约、保护和配置，并注意维系良好的水环境和生态系统。树立人与河流和谐共存的核心价值观，将是城市与河流健康与繁荣、自然与稳定发展的基础。

The Relationship between the Development of Citiesand the Health of Their Rivers

The development of a city is closely related with the health of its rivers. The health of the rivers ofa city means that the natural state of the rivers is healthy and able to provide the city with a good ecologicalenvironment, serve the public, meet the need of human society for sustainable development, and finally form avirtuous circle in which a balance is kept between human development of rivers and its protection of therivers. As the most important natural carrier of a city, whether its rivers are healthy or not will affect itsdevelopment in such respects as urban layout, environment, culture, politics, economy, security, etc. But in thecurrent urbanization, the health of the rivers are being threatened by water pollution, water shortage, riversilting, etc caused by population growth and industrial expansion. The fundamental way to achieve the commondevelopment of a city and its rivers lies in the construction of an ecologically-civilized society in which citydwellers will coexist with the rivers in harmony. For this purpose, the sustainable development of a city shouldbe supported by the health of its rivers, attach much importance to the saving, protection and allocation ofwater resources and try to maintain a virtuous water environment and ecological system in developing andutilizing the water resources of city rivers and constructing engineering projects.Developing the core value ofhuman beings'' harmonious coexistence with their rivers is to be the foundation on which both a city and itsrivers could develop in a healthy, prosperous, natural and stable way.
