Lin Yunchang and the All-round Development of Guangzhou's Urban Construction
According to the records of Guangzhou City, 1,1In August, 929, Nanjing National Government ordered Guangzhou Municipal Government to restore the mayor system and cancel the committee system. On that day, Lin Yun became the mayor of Guangzhou. On August 25th, the automatic telephone project undertaken by China Electric Company, an American company, came to an end. On that day, 4000 automatic telephones were made. On August 3 1, Guangzhou Municipal Government and China Electric Power Company formally signed a contract to install provincial and port long-distance telephones. The total cost of the project is $455,000. In that month, the executive meeting of Guangzhou Municipal Government decided to build 6 1 urban road, with a length of more than 80 kilometers, in three phases. On September 10, after the long-distance call from Guangzhou to Shilong was made, a long-distance telephone substation was set up in Jian 'antang, Xihaokou. On September 18, Xiaoshi Street and Sipailou opened roads and started construction.
In addition, the main achievements of Guangzhou's municipal construction during this period include the thorough transformation of the Liu Mai Canal; Guangzhou sewer reconstruction; Rebuilding streets, building hospitals and increasing primary schools; Construction of the high court prison in the north teaching field, with practice workshops, etc.
The concept of landscape city
1927 mayor Lin Yun was in charge of Guangzhou municipal administration, 1928 drafted the policy agenda of Guangzhou municipal government, and thought that "the garden city is the best for the latest urban design". There has been a preliminary idea to build Guangzhou into a landscape city.
From 65438 to 0929, Cheng, the director of Guangzhou Municipal Engineering, formulated the Implementation Plan of Guangzhou Municipal Engineering. Ni said that this is the most comprehensive and comprehensive urban planning since the Republic of China, and proposed a large-scale expansion of landscaping, adding five parks, including Baiyun Mountain Park, Henan Garden and Xiguan Park.
According to the records of Guangzhou annals, the preparation of Guangzhou urban planning began in the Republic of China. Before the Republic of China, the layout of urban construction in past dynasties was decided by local governors, and urban construction was carried out according to certain urban planning ideas. From the thirty-third year of Qin Dynasty (2 14) to the ninth year of the Republic of China (1920), the city wall was gradually expanded on the basis of the original city site.
/kloc-in 0/7, Guangzhou Urban Design Committee was established, which was the first institution in Guangzhou history to be responsible for urban planning. In February1of the Republic of China, the municipal government announced the first planning scheme of Guangzhou-the draft urban design outline of Guangzhou. Although it was not fully implemented, it also laid a good foundation for Guangzhou's architecture. The draft "Guangzhou Urban Design Outline" focuses on the location of the boulevard and public institutions, and stipulates that a considerable area should be reserved for parks, such as the mountains north of Ma 'anling, east of Shougouling, Fei 'eling to Baiyun Mountain, and the southern corner of Datansha, the eastern part of Ershatou, the flower fields in Hexi, granite in Henan and Qixinggang. These are the concrete manifestations of the planning concept of "mountain and water city". It is said that Sun Yat-sen has said many times that forestry is "the sacred revolutionary virtue of our party". Chen Ye, former chairman of Guangdong provincial government, praised Lin for "still being upright and upright". Because this evaluation comes from political enemies, it should be said that it is also a high evaluation. From the information we can find about Lin, there are many anecdotes that show that Lin's official character has reached the end of his tether.
Zhenhai tower Ji
Located in the east of Zhenhai Tower in Yuexiu Mountain. 2.5m high and1.04m wide. In February of the Republic of China, 17 (1928) was established. Inscription by Shunde, Duanzhou Liang carved stone, calligraphy, describes the vicissitudes of zhenhai tower: due to war and disrepair, by the end of the Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, only four walls and foundations were left in the building; 1927, Guangzhou Mayor Lin Yun initiated the reconstruction, and the Works Bureau allocated more than 40,000 yuan. Construction started in May of the following year and was completed in 65438+February. In this reconstruction, the original wooden floor structure was changed into reinforced concrete structure, and in the year of completion, it became Guangzhou Museum.
Haizhu railway bridge
One of Lin Yunchang's achievements is the construction of Haizhu Railway Bridge. At that time, Guangzhou and Henan were separated by the Pearl River, so the traffic between the two places could only rely on boats, which was quite inconvenient to go back and forth, and the city was divided into two, which was not conducive to the development of nature. 1929, Lin plans to build Haizhu iron bridge, which is the only bridge that runs through the north and south of the Pearl River. The bridge is 200 meters long and divided into three holes, north and south. This is the first open-close bridge in Guangdong Province. The contractor is Shen Changyang Company of the United States, and the contractor is Markton Company, with a cost of10.032 million yuan. The former Haizhu Bridge was bombed by the Kuomintang before liberation, and it took seven months to rebuild after liberation.
Guangzhou Zhongshan Library
1June, 927, Lin Yun, then secretary of the Guangzhou Municipal Party Committee, proposed to build the Guangzhou Zhongshan Library. It was not until 1986 that the new Wen Ming Road Zhongshan Library was completed that it became the location of Guangdong literature collection. 1989 officially called Sun Yat-sen Literature Museum. According to Ni, director of the Literature Museum, the museum was originally the former site of Guangfu, designed by the famous architect Ke at that time, and donated more than 200,000 US dollars (equivalent to more than 300,000 RMB in Guangdong at that time) by10.5 million US dollars. Completed in June 1.933.
Guangzhou shifu building
The Guangzhou Municipal Government Building on Lu was proposed by Lin Yunchang when Chen was in charge of Guangdong. It was originally called the municipal government office.
At that time, the chairman of Guangdong Province was Chen. As the mayor, Lin and Chen compete for power and profit, and Lin strives to set up a special city in Guangzhou. At that time, the standard for setting up a special city was a population of 6.5438+0 million, while Guangzhou had a population of only 980,000. Lin finally turned Guangzhou into a special city on the grounds that Guangdong was the birthplace of the revolution. At that time, the city government building was built, which also occupied the central park (now one-third of the land in People's Park), and the location of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall was specially chosen on the same axis. In order to match the style of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, the municipal government office also adopted the traditional palace style, with a bucket arch and a yellow glazed tile roof.
The main building of the Literature Museum adopts the traditional architectural form, with red walls, red columns and green glazed tile roofs. The main building is open and magnificent. There is a pond in the yard, called Hanmo Pool. Vaguely, there are a few residual lotus plants, and several century-old trees cast deep new buds.
