CEOs offer treatment for 'urban diseases'  

能源大佬把脉“城市病”：雾霾天气并非中国才有

7日，在2013年成都财富全球论坛上，来自全球能源“大佬”们齐聚一堂，把脉“城市病”。施耐德电气公司总裁兼首席执行官赵国华表示，雾霾天气并不是中国才有的“城市病”。

Chengdu (CNS) -- Top executives from large-scale enterprises addressed China's "urban diseases" in their discussion Friday at the 12th Global Fortune Forum held in the southwestern city of Chengdu.

Jean-Pascal Tricoire, chairman and chief executive of Schneider Electric, said the heavy haze in most cities of China is not a unique case.

No one should criticize China on it, since China, with a large population of one billion, faces greater challenges than any other country in the world, he added. He also suggested applying more techniques in building.

Zhang Yue, founder and CEO of Broad Group, maker of energy equipment and real estate development company, said the best solution is to establish a "mixed community" that provides schools and hospitals, and allows people to live and work on site, reducing energy consumption.

David Cote, chairman and CEO of Honeywell, said building smart cities helps reduce people's impact on the environment. Mistakes can be avoided after experiences are shared via social media, he added.

Big cities in China are on the brink of a major shortfall in resources and infrastructure capacity, under a problem termed "urban diseases."
