评分作者真是太能BB了,完全不能节制自己的表达。基本上核心观点看“First、Second……”这些段落就够了,我宁愿去做一百篇雅思阅读也不想在一个观点中看见这么多废话…
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.
我并没有读完这本书,在读完一半的时候,我就停下来了,并不是因为这本书不够精彩,可能是我跟不上作者的节奏了。作者叙述和讨论的节奏比较缓慢,切入点都是美国的细小的街区生活。我本来不想写对于此书的评论,虽然作者对城市观点是反对学院城市规划原理的,是革新的,但...

评分美国著名城市规划学家简·雅各布斯曾说过——“伟大的街道造就伟大的城市”。任何城市都是由局部的街道所构成,而街道里则流淌着城市的文化基因。街道、建筑,以及围绕它们所产生的故事、传说、文化、叙事,往往构成我们对一座城市的基本认知。 其实,如果能够以百年、甚至千年...
评分我读这本书是因为要写城市社会学的读书报告。以下是读书报告,欢迎指正。 阅读了《美国大城市的死与生》之后,我想起了自己的经历。我住在远离市中心的一个大型小区里。所谓“大型”,指的是整个小区的门牌号码有近80个,人口上万。小区的景色很优美,有一个和未名湖相比差不...
