Jacobs說有2個重要特徵使市區變的特殊:個性(描繪齣區域的特殊曆史和自然資源)和人民(被它的嚮心性和群體活動吸引而來的場所),不得不說在當時是是相當牛逼的理論,並且現在看這個錶述也是沒問題的,然鵝結閤後續造成的影響來看就……
評分我看她最後還是輸給瞭robert moses
評分力薦!相對於其他Situationist大而空的批判,Jane Jacob這位和藹的老太太自身沒有任何學曆背景,僅僅是由日常生活的思考匯聚成的這本書,反而成為瞭對現代城市規劃最好的批判性反思。書中所舉的例子繁瑣但生動,特彆是“芭蕾街區”等活靈活現的詞語很完美的展現瞭所謂客觀的規劃是如何一步一步和我們的日常生活閤為一體這一驚人但有趣的事實。

評分this book changed my whole idea of thinking about "Good" city! everyone interested in Architecture or City Design should definitely read this!!
Jane Jacobs was born on May 4, 1916, in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Her father was a physician and her mother taught school and worked as a nurse. After high school and a year spent as a reporter on the Scranton Tribune, Jacobs went to New York, where she found a succession of jobs as a stenographer and wrote free-lance articles about the city's many working districts, which fascinated her. In 1952, after a number of writing and editing jobs ranging in subject matter from metallurgy to a geography of the United States for foreign readers, she became an associate editor of Architectural Forum. She was becoming increasingly skeptical of conventional planning beliefs as she noticed that the city rebuilding projects she was assigned to write about seemed neither safe, interesting, alive, nor good economics for cities once the projects were built and in operation. She gave a speech to that effect at Harvard in 1956, and this led to an article in Fortune magazine entitled "Downtown Is for People," which in turn led to The Death and Life of Great American Cities. The book was published in 1961 and produced permanent changes in the debate over urban renewal and the future of cities.
In opposition to the kind of large-scale, bulldozing government intervention in city planning associated with Robert Moses and with federal slum-clearing projects, Jacobs proposed a renewal from the ground up, emphasizing mixed use rather than exclusively residential or commercial districts, and drawing on the human vitality of existing neighborhoods: "Vital cities have marvelous innate abilities for understanding, communicating, contriving, and inventing what is required to combat their difficulties.... Lively, diverse, intense cities contain the seeds of their own regeneration, with energy enough to carry over for problems and needs outside themselves." Although Jacobs's lack of experience as either architect or city planner drew criticism, The Death and Life of Great American Cities was quickly recognized as one of the most original and powerfully argued books of its day. It was variously praised as "the most refreshing, provocative, stimulating, and exciting study of this greatest of our problems of living which I have seen" (Harrison Salisbury) and "a magnificent study of what gives life and spirit to the city" (William H. Whyte).
Jacobs is married to an architect, who she says taught her enough to become an architectural writer. They have two sons and a daughter. In 1968 they moved to Toronto, where Jacobs has often assumed an activist role in matters relating to development and has been an adviser on the reform of the city's planning and housing policies. She was a leader in the successful campaign to block construction of a major expressway on the grounds that it would do more harm than good, and helped prevent the demolition of an entire neighborhood downtown. She has been a Canadian citizen since 1974. Her writings include The Economy of Cities (1969); The Question of Separatism (1980), a consideration of the issue of sovereignty for Quebec; Cities and the Wealth of Nations (1984), a major study of the importance of cities and their regions in the global economy; and her most recent book, Systems of Survival (1993).
Thirty years after its publication, "The Death and Life of Great American Cities" was described by "The New York Times" as "perhaps the most influential single work in the history of town planning.... It] can also be seen in a much larger context. It is first of all a work of literature; the descriptions of street life as a kind of ballet and the bitingly satiric account of traditional planning theory can still be read for pleasure even by those who long ago absorbed and appropriated the book's arguments." Jane Jacobs, an editor and writer on architecture in New York City in the early sixties, argued that urban diversity and vitality were being destroyed by powerful architects and city planners. Rigorous, sane, and delightfully epigrammatic, Jacobs's small masterpiece is a blueprint for the humanistic management of cities. It is sensible, knowledgeable, readable, indispensable. The author has written a new foreword for this Modern Library edition.
一 大城市里的街道和人行道(尤其是后者)用来干什么,或者有一个用途你永远你永远都想不到,那就是为这个城市提供安全。这是在《美国大城市的死与生》这本书中,作者在第一章就告诉我们的一个令人钦佩的论点。在规划者建筑师们的眼里,城市(书里特指谈的仅仅是大城市)...

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...
評分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...
評分再次感谢豆瓣,好像每次一提到读书就要先感谢豆瓣,事实上正是如此。豆瓣让我养成了看书的习惯,“思想之美”——我喜欢用这四个字来形容读书带给我的感受。而这本书《美国大城市的死与生》无疑也是我非常感兴趣的一本书。 今天在图书大厦花费了一些时间找到了这本书,...
