A group associated with a Gates investment company has invested $80 million in a high-tech planned development outside Phoenix.

　　一个与盖茨投资公司相关的集团，已经在凤凰城外一项高科技计划发展中投资八千万美金。

　　The community in Belmont will be designed around high-speed networks, autonomous vehicles, high-speed digital networks, data centers, new manufacturing technologies and autonomous logistics hubs.

　　贝尔蒙特的社区将围绕高速网络，自动驾驶汽车，高速数字网络，数据中心，新型制造技术和自主物流中心进行设计。

　　It’s unclear how much former Microsoft CEO Gates, who owns Belmont’s parent company Cascade Investment, will be involved in the effort.

　　拥有贝尔蒙特母公司卡斯凯徳投资公司的前微软CEO盖茨将在多大程度上参与社区建设仍不清晰。

　　Belmont Partners, the Arizona-based real investment group that’s leading the project, said it will be similar in size to nearby Tempe, Arizona, which has a population of 182,000.

　　领导该项目的贝尔蒙特合伙公司是位于亚利桑那的实体投资集团，该公司称，这个社区的规模将和附近的坦佩市相近，约有182000人口。

　　"Envisioning future infrastructure from scratch is far easier and more cost efficient than retrofitting an existing urban fabric," Grady Gammage, a spokesman for the venture said in the statement.

　　该合资企业的发言人甘米居在声明中表示：“从头开始设想未来的基础设施比改造现有的城市结构要容易得多，成本效益更高。”

　　Arizona has a reputation as being a technology-friendly state. Several major players in the autonomous vehicle industry -- Waymo, Uber and Intel -- are testing their innovations in the state.

　　亚利桑那是一个技术友好州。自主汽车行业的几个主要参与者Waymo，Uber和Intel正在测试他们在该州的创新。

　　But developing a new city or even a neighborhood isn’t cheap. This October Sidewalk Labs, the urban innovation arm of Google’s parent company Alphabet, committed $50 million for the initial phase of planning and pilot testing a Toronto neighborhood development.

　　但是发展一个新城市甚至一个邻居并不便宜。谷歌母公司Alphabet的城市创新部门This October Sidewalk Labs承诺为多伦多社区发展规划和试点测试初期阶段投资5000万美元，。

　　It’s designed as a model neighborhood for the 21st century, with reduced pollution, shortened commutes, safer streets and better weather. Transportation will be designed around shared electric vehicles, walking and biking. More flexible zoning will blend commercial, industrial and residential areas.

　　多伦多被设计成21世纪典范区域，污染少，通勤时间缩短，街道更加安全，气候更好。交通将围绕共享电动车辆，步行和骑自行车而设计。更灵活的分区将融合商业，工业和住宅区域。

　　The smart cities trend has gained momentum as Silicon Valley’s disruptors shift their focus to transportation innovations such as autonomous vehicles and ridesharing services.

　　随着硅谷干扰者将关注点转移到自动驾驶汽车和共乘服务等交通创新领域，智慧城市发展势头迅猛增长。

　　Belmont’s developers are counting on the expected development of Interstate 11, which will serve the area, to boost development. But right now, the company is not rushing to move forward.

　　贝尔蒙特的开发商正在期待11号州际公路的发展，该公路将为该地区服务，以促进发展。但是现在公司并未急于推进该项目。

　　"This is a very long term, very patient investment," Gammage told CNN Tech.

　　甘米奇告诉CNN科技频道：“这是一个长期、耐心的投资。”
