2020 年,著名音樂家阿肯 (Akon) 對塞內加爾未來主義大都會「阿肯城」的雄心勃勃的計劃引起了人們的關注。然而,該項目很快就因訴訟、未償還貸款以及其加密貨幣「Akoin」下架而陷入困境。現在,演員伊德里斯艾爾巴開始了類似的冒險,提議在塞拉利昂海岸建造一座“生態城市”,引起人們對此類大型城市項目所面臨的挑戰和潛在陷阱的關注。
Akon's Wakanda City and Akoin: A Pipe Dream Unveiled
阿科的瓦幹達城和阿科因:白日夢揭開面紗
In 2020, Akon, the renowned Grammy-nominated musician, unveiled an audacious vision: the construction of a Wakanda-inspired metropolis in Senegal. The grandiose mockups depicted sleek, iridescent skyscrapers, state-of-the-art museums, and verdant boulevards, all poised to transform a nation where nearly 36% of its populace languishes beneath the poverty line.
2020 年,著名的葛萊美提名音樂家阿肯宣布了一個大膽的願景:在塞內加爾建立一個瓦幹達風格的大都會。這些宏偉的模型描繪了光滑、彩虹色的摩天大樓、最先進的博物館和翠綠的林蔭大道,所有這些都準備好改變這個近 36% 的人口生活在貧困線以下的國家。
Central to this ambitious undertaking was 'Akoin,' a cryptocurrency launched in 2018 with the lofty slogan "One Africa. One Koin." This digital asset, coupled with the city itself, aspired to galvanize Africa under a shared vision of prosperity and an accessible, digitized economy.
這項雄心勃勃的事業的核心是“Akoin”,這是一種於 2018 年推出的加密貨幣,其口號是“一個非洲。一個 Koin”。這種數位資產與城市本身相結合,渴望在繁榮和無障礙數位化經濟的共同願景下激勵非洲。
However, this futuristic dream, reminiscent of Frank Gehry's architectural masterpieces, along with the prospect of a unified African currency, swiftly devolved into a nightmare not only for Akon but for all involved.
然而,這個讓人想起弗蘭克蓋瑞的建築傑作的未來主義夢想,以及統一非洲貨幣的前景,很快就變成了一場噩夢,不僅對阿肯來說,對所有參與者來說都是如此。
Unfulfilled Promises and Legal Woes
未兌現的承諾和法律困境
Despite Akon's relentless promotion of Akon City and Akoin in 2019 and 2020, the projects crumbled under their own weight of unfulfilled promises. A lawsuit filed against Akon by his former business partner cast a shadow over the enterprise, followed by Akon's feeble attempt to blame the COVID-19 pandemic for the mounting delays. The final nail in the coffin came when Sapco, the entity responsible for land acquisition, defaulted on payments to hundreds of individuals who had sold their land nearly a decade prior.
儘管 Akon 在 2019 年和 2020 年對 Akon City 和 Akoin 進行了不懈的推廣,但這些計畫還是在未兌現承諾的重壓下崩潰了。阿肯的前商業夥伴對他提起訴訟,給該企業蒙上了陰影,隨後阿肯無力地將日益嚴重的延誤歸咎於 COVID-19 大流行。棺材上的最後一根釘子是負責土地徵用的實體 Sapco 拖欠數百名近十年前出售土地的個人的付款。
As the reality on the ground starkly contradicted the Wakanda-esque grandeur, Akon continued to maintain that the city would be partially completed by 2026. Yet, on the landscape, the project increasingly resembled a failed urban experiment rather than the futuristic utopia envisioned.
由於現實與瓦幹達式的宏偉形成鮮明對比,阿肯繼續堅稱這座城市將在2026 年部分完工。然而,從景觀上看,該項目越來越像一次失敗的城市實驗,而不是設想的未來烏托邦。
Meanwhile, Akoin faced its own demise, unceremoniously delisted from every exchange where it was once traded. Buyers received refunds, the Akon City website was decommissioned, and Akon himself renounced any cryptocurrency-related inquiries on Cameo, a platform where celebrities record personalized videos for a fee.
同時,Akoin 也面臨自己的滅亡,被毫不客氣地從它曾經交易過的所有交易所摘牌。買家收到了退款,Akon City 網站被關閉,Akon 本人也放棄了在 Cameo(名人付費錄製個人化影片的平台)上進行任何與加密貨幣相關的詢問。
Elba's Parallel City: An Echo of the Past
厄爾巴島的平行城市:過去的迴響
As the Akon City dream dissipated into oblivion, actor Idris Elba emerged with his own city-building initiative. His sights set on Sierra Leone, another country grappling with significant poverty, Elba proposed an 'eco city' to be constructed off the coast of Sherbro Island.
隨著阿肯城的夢想逐漸被遺忘,演員伊德里斯艾爾巴提出了自己的城市建設倡議。他把目光投向了另一個正在努力解決嚴重貧困問題的國家塞拉利昂,厄爾巴提議在舍布羅島海岸建造一座「生態城市」。
Once again, the aspiration was grandiose, with an eco city heavily reliant on the goodwill and financial support of artists, investors, and governments. While concrete plans remain undisclosed, Elba expressed his desire to preserve the island's pristine character.
這個願望再次是宏偉的,生態城市嚴重依賴藝術家、投資者和政府的善意和財政支持。雖然具體計劃尚未公開,但厄爾巴表示希望保留島嶼的原始特色。
However, Elba's involvement raised concerns due to his previous association with a gold industry propaganda film. This industry's environmental devastation and human rights violations, particularly in impoverished regions, stand in stark contrast to the sustainability principles espoused by the eco city concept.
然而,艾爾巴的參與引起了人們的關注,因為他之前曾與一部黃金行業宣傳片有過聯繫。該行業對環境的破壞和侵犯人權的行為,特別是在貧困地區,與生態城市概念所倡導的可持續發展原則形成鮮明對比。
Notwithstanding, Elba acknowledged the arduous path ahead, estimating decades for the city's planning and construction, a more realistic timeframe than the fated Akon City. Notably, his vision does not include a tokenized currency.
儘管如此,厄爾巴島承認前方的道路十分艱辛,預計該市的規劃和建設需要數十年的時間,這比命中註定的阿肯市更為現實。值得注意的是,他的願景不包括代幣化貨幣。
Cautionary Tales for Poverty-Stricken Nations
貧窮國家的警世故事
The grandiose ventures of Akon City and Elba's proposed eco city serve as cautionary tales for poverty-stricken nations. These ambitious visions often lack the necessary financial and infrastructural foundation, while their impact on the local communities remains uncertain.
阿肯市和厄爾巴島擬議的生態城市的宏偉事業為貧困國家敲響了警鐘。這些雄心勃勃的願景往往缺乏必要的財政和基礎設施基礎,而它們對當地社區的影響仍然不確定。
While it is tempting to embrace the allure of grand designs and technological advancements, it is imperative that such projects prioritize the well-being of the populace and address the fundamental challenges of poverty and inequality. Without careful planning and sustainable development, these initiatives risk becoming mere mirages, leaving behind a trail of broken promises and wasted resources.
儘管人們很容易接受宏偉設計和技術進步的誘惑,但此類計畫必須優先考慮民眾的福祉並解決貧困和不平等的根本挑戰。如果沒有仔細的規劃和永續發展,這些措施就有可能成為海市蜃樓,留下一系列違背承諾和浪費資源的痕跡。
