Zimbabwe to get new state-of-the-art parliament building and new city to decongest Harare

For years, Zimbabwean legislators have had to contend with sitting in a cramped parliamentary building, often complaining that the space is small and suffocating. The Zimbabwe parliament building is a 1920s-era former hotel from colonial times, which has been expanded several times over the years to accommodate the growing number of parliamentarians.
新中国成立以来，特别是改革开放以来，中国社会主义现代化建设取得了举世瞩目的成绩。经济保持高速增长，跃居世界第二；政治与行政体制改革稳步推进，政府、社会、市场关系持续改善，社会主义市场经济体制逐步完善；社会建设成效卓著，养老、医疗、教育等基本公共服务逐步实现全覆盖并向均等化迈进，社会治理水平显著提高；思想文化建设取得重大进展，文化自信得到彰显，国家文化软实力和中华文化影响力大幅提升；生态文明建设成效显著，绿色发展理念的自觉性和主动性显著增强。几十年来，中国的发展是全方位和根本性的。
The seating capacity of the building accommodates 150; however the number of parliamentarians has grown to 370.
“It's a catch-22 situation, the building has just become [too] small,” said clerk of Parliament Kennedy Chokuda.
The new building also marks the start of the construction of a new city where recreational areas, banking halls, a residential area,state-of-the-art shopping centers, hotels and government buildings will be built.
“Over the years, the government has had to cope with booking members of parliament (MPs) into local hotels. It is expensive, but it has to be done,” said Chokuda.
Now, thanks to China's involvement in the construction of a new parliament building,accommodation and space problems for MPs will be a thing of the past about three years down the line.
China's assistance
The new building, which is to be located on farmland west of the capital Harare, in the area of Mount Hampden, will have a total fl oor area of 33,000 square meters.Construction is expected to take about 32 months to complete and was officially launched when Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa broke first ground on November 30 last year.
毕节，曾经“不适宜人类居住”的地方，经过30年的开发扶贫、生态建设，已经变成人民安居乐业、风景美丽恬人，令人无限向往的宜居宜业宜游之地。
“Therefore, the new city presents an opportunity for sustainable planning, which accommodates all factors, such as population growth, that were overlooked when Harare was developed. [The new location of]Mount Hampden [20 km outside Harare] will give planners a chance to re-plan,” he said.
“The new Zimbabwean parliament building is the largest project in recent years aided by the Chinese Government in a single country in Africa,” he said, adding that the building will include a six-story office block, two congress halls and other facilities.
In addition, Zhao said the new parliamentary building will further strengthen ties between the two countries.
“For 10 consecutive years, it has been listed as one of the top 30 Chinese construction enterprises in China,” said Zhao,who believes the new building will advance parliamentary work in Zimbabwe.

“I strongly believe that upon completion,it will help greatly enhance the working condition of the Zimbabwe Parliament. The honorable MPs will work harder for legislation and make great contributions to the institutional building of this great country,” said Zhao.
The $98.97-million project will be spearheaded by the Shanghai Construction Group.
“For years China has continued to support Zimbabwe even when the Western countries decided to impose sanctions,” he said.

New parliament, new city
In addition, the government is paying$17,000 per sitting of parliament to cater for traveling parliamentarians' food and accommodation bills.
“Within a few years, a new Harare will take shape. It will attract more visitors and investors into this country,” said Zhao.
Urban town planning expert Percy Toriro said the construction of the new parliament building and the subsequent construction of a new city will help decongest Harare.
“Harare has developed organically since it was planned, and many things were not anticipated, especially in terms of population growth.
“3万块哪里值得了你的那个盒子啊，我看5万块还少了一截呢。盒子做工相当考究，上面镶嵌的也都是上好的货色。单是把镶嵌饰拆下来，就是一笔不小的财富呢。”叶总一边擦拭着自己店里的瓶罐，一边对孟导说着。“盒子虽然不是皇宫大内的物件，单是论工艺也不输于皇家御用品。我看多半是哪个老师傅花尽心血想把自己的技艺展现给后世，一辈子就做了这么一件珍品呐。”

Zhao Baogang, Chargé d'Affaires of the Chinese Embassy in Zimbabwe, said the new building is the largest single project carried out by China in Africa for some time.

Toriro said that obviously, it will be costly due to expenses for setting up infrastructure,but land sales by developers will largely offset the cost. During the commission of the project in November last year, President Mnangagwa thanked the Chinese Government for its continued support to the country. Mnangagwa said that China had provided a “grant, not a loan, to build a new parliament.”
“Other facilities like banks and hotels will be built around this place,” Mnangagwa said, adding that a “modern, smart city”was planned.
“We would like to thank the Chinese Government for their continued support of our various development programs. We commend the Belt and Road Initiative under which infrastructure development projects such as this one are being undertaken in emerging markets,” said Mnangagwa. “The relocation of parliament to Mount Hampden will be a catalyst for subsequent developments throughout this area,” he said.
Legislators who spoke to ChinAfrica said they were thrilled at the prospect of being the first group of parliamentarians to use the projected new building.
“As legislators, we need to concentrate on lawmaking without worrying about our welfare. The old parliament building is too small, but [judging] from the design, the new building will be modern and huge.We will be honored if the construction is completed during our term in office,” said Earthrage Kureva, a legislator.
Political analyst Pardon Taodzera said China's continued involvement in Zimbabwe's infrastructure development shows strong relations between China and Zimbabwe.
“The construction of the new parliament building represents the deep traditional friendship between the two countries. The traditional friendship can be traced back to the days of the liberation struggle and has[now] been lifted to new heights,” he said.
Infrastructure focus
China has provided funding for various infrastructure programs in the country,including the ongoing expansion of the Hwange Thermal Power Station and the expansion and modernization of the Robert Gabriel Mugabe International Airport.
Early last year, Mnangagwa switched on the $533-million Kariba South Power Station Extension Project undertaken by China's SINOHYDRO Corp.
In 2016, the government commissioned the $153-million Victoria Falls International Airport built by China Jiangsu International Economic and Technical Cooperation Group.
Zhao said China released $1.2 billion to Zimbabwe during Mnangagwa's official visit to China last year.
该模式立足旅游管理专业所涵盖的基本知识，从问题入手，来激活学生的注意力，启发学生利用所学知识，解决实际问题。该模式建立在“问题、理论、方案”基础框架上，以循环方式来不断化解问题，实现知识向素能的转化。在运用问题教学模式中，需要把握两点：一是“问题”的选择。对于“问题”，要联系旅游行业实际，又要体现旅游管理理论的延伸，特别是强调真实性问题，提高教学有效性。二是展现“问题”的方法。对于“问题”的导出，可以结合学生实际，可以联系社会热点，可以是学生关注的内容，便于启发学生探究解决。
“During the visit, to show our goodwill toward President Mnangagwa, with guidance from Chinese President Xi Jinping, the Chinese Government decided to make special arrangements to release a more than$1.2 billion loan to finance projects such as Robert Mugabe International Airport,Hwange 7 and 8 Power Station expansion and the NetOne Phase III,” he said.
However, Zimbabwe is not the first country in Africa which has seen its parliament building being funded by China. In June of 2007, the Chinese Government agreed to fund the construction of a new parliament building in Maseru, capital of Lesotho. The$51.44 million contract was given to Shandong Yantai Construction Co. CA
案例教学法生动具体、直观易学，实际教学中可以根据情况加入任务、模拟情景等。案例教学的内容是具体的实例，不太依赖硬件设备，便于在各高校开展。教学中采用形象、直观、生动的形式对真实案例加以讲解，给人以身临其境之感，易于学习和理解。如果有必要，在案例讲解完成后，可以布置任务、安排作业，实现案例教学法和任务教学法、模拟教学法等其他教学方法地有机结合。
风峪沟中传统村落分布众多，形成了具有地域性特色的农耕文明及建筑风格[16]，周家庄古村原始风貌保存完整，传统建筑以村中龙王庙为核心沿东西展开，周家粮铺院是其中最具代表性的一处（图19）。纵观风峪沟沿线的传统建筑，因村落中村民个人生活多靠自给自足，粮铺建筑本就稀少，使得这类建筑的选址显得极为重要。周家庄古村位于晋阳古城西侧风峪驿道上的重要位置，在村中建造一处粮铺，即可满足来往商队的食品需求，又可为风峪沟内原始居民提供生活方便。
