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.
【平媒已刊】 上两个礼拜,我所住的钱塘江边某条路西段唯一的一家书店关门歇业了。这对于生活在其间几个小区的人们来说,实在算不上一件大事。毕竟我们买书的渠道要远不止在一间十几平方米的书店里驻足翻阅然后挑选购买这样一种有限的方式。 我的朋友就住在书店南...
評分交给老师的读书笔记删掉一些八股剩下的零碎东西: 每次有朋友来厦门旅游,他们最喜欢现代整洁色彩斑斓的环岛路,和连接鼓浪屿历史文物别墅与可爱店铺的街道。而我更喜欢一个人漫步在两旁晾晒着普通内衣裤的有人情味的小巷。它们也一样安静,但背景里人们琐碎的生活噪音以及交...
評分下面这些都不是我写的,原链接在这里。 http://book.douban.com/review/6190677/ 我想到的作者都想到了,我就不重写一遍浪费时间了。 要想在城市的街道和地区生发丰富的多样性,四个条件不可缺少: 1)地区以及其尽可能多的内部区域的主要功能要多于一个,最好是多于两个。 2...
評分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...
評分我是外行乱入的……如果是专业学城市规划的请直接忽略这篇…… 得刚开始上网的时候,就有了在线社区。从QQ公共聊天室到可乐8,从Discuz搭建的论坛到Facebook,自从有了这个线上的虚拟世界之后,社区这个词就频繁的出现。 说起在线社区,脑子里最直观的是BBS,这是最容易理解...
還是原版好
评分GEOG3771W urban geology 沒看完。
评分實際上這是本社會學的書,Jane Jacobs講這麼多就是一句話: better city, better life,死與生指的是城市的decay和regeneration,安全(safety)隻是催發多樣性(diversity)的一個必要因素,單獨拿齣來作為設計目的毫無意義。若隻為安全而各種封閉各種fencing,那就更可笑瞭。
评分dudu1.城規
评分非常值得看的書,有強烈的個人價值觀。
