Jane Jacobs, OC, O.Ont (May 4, 1916 – April 25, 2006) was an American-born Canadian writer and activist with primary interest in communities and urban planning and decay. She is best known for The Death and Life of Great American Cities (1961), a powerful critique of the urban renewal policies of the 1950s in the United States. The book has been credited with reaching beyond planning issues to influence the spirit of the times.
Along with her well-known printed works, Jacobs is equally well-known for organizing grassroots efforts to block urban-renewal projects that would have destroyed local neighborhoods. She was instrumental in the eventual cancellation of the Lower Manhattan Expressway, and after moving to Canada in 1968, equally influential in canceling the Spadina Expressway and the associated network of highways under construction.
A direct and fundamentally optimistic indictment of the short-sightedness and intellectual arrogance that has characterized much of urban planning in this century, The Death and Life of Great American Cities has, since its first publication in 1961, become the standard against which all endeavors in that field are measured. In prose of outstanding immediacy, Jane Jacobs writes about what makes streets safe or unsafe; about what constitutes a neighborhood, and what function it serves within the larger organism of the city; about why some neighborhoods remain impoverished while others regenerate themselves. She writes about the salutary role of funeral parlors and tenement windows, the dangers of too much development money and too little diversity. Compassionate, bracingly indignant, and always keenly detailed, Jane Jacobs's monumental work provides an essential framework for assessing the vitality of all cities.
这是去年写的一个书评。呵呵 城市规划:人人都有发言权 黄锫坚=文 “他们建这个地方的时候,没有人关心我们需要什么。他们推倒了我们的房子,将我们赶到这里,把我们的朋友赶到别的地方。在这儿我们没有一个喝咖啡、看报纸或借5美分的地方。没有人关心我们需要什么。但是那些...
评分Jane Jacobs前年过世,享年九十一岁。我就是在那时买了这本书,而中文版旋即面市了。这是1961年出版的作品,试问有多少书可以屹立半个世纪而影响力不衰呢?无论如何,半个世纪之后,我们这片大破大立的土地上终于有人明白到Jane Jacobs这本书的时代意义了!只是不知,...

评分阅读的过程中总是想起许鞍华的《天水围的日与夜》。 记得看完那部电影后自己写了这么一句话:失落在钢筋水泥的工具理性中的人与人之间的真情,才是一个社会自愈机制的根本。 我也曾用温情来描述这部电影,一个平民区的中年妇女,年轻丧偶,白天在超市做工,回家为儿子洗衣做...

评分重读一遍才发现这本书是越读越有味道的,不禁又给加了一星。雅各布斯被称为城市空想家,她的很多观点确实从操作性来说与现实有悖,但不可否认的是她提供可一种创造性的理论。雅各布斯批判正统,几乎批判了我们所熟知、钟爱、崇拜的许多城市规划领域的巨擘,在她看来,这些所谓的专家不过就像盲人摸象(其实谁不是这样呢),程式、同质、平均化的规划是雅各布斯极力反对的,跑去乡村捣鼓更被她看作愚蠢,她认为这种忽略社会资本的简单化操作是在自掘坟墓,关注城市居民的实际体验和生活过程才是拯救城市之亡的良药。
