具体描述
The redesign and revitalization of traditional urban centres is the cutting-edge of contemporary urban planning, as evidenced by the intense public and professional attention to the rebuilding of city cores from Berlin to New York City's "Ground Zero." Spanish and Latin American cities have never received the recognition they deserve in the urban revitalization debate, yet they offer a very relevant model for this "return to the center." These cultures have consistently embraced the notion of a city whose identity is grounded in its organic public spaces: plazas, promenades, commercial streets, and parks that invite pedestrian traffic and support a rich civic life.This groundbreaking book explores Spanish, Mexican, and Mexican-American border cities to learn what these urban areas can teach us about effectively using central public spaces to foster civic interaction, neighbourhood identity, and a sense of place. Herzog weaves the book around case studies of Madrid and Barcelona, Spain; Mexico City and Queretaro, Mexico; and the Tijuana-San Diego border metropolis. He examines how each of these urban areas was formed and grew through time, with attention to the design lessons of key public spaces.The book offers original and incisive discussions that challenge current urban thinking about politics and public space, globalization, and the future of privatized communities, from gated suburbs to cyberspace. Herzog argues that well-designed, human-scaled city centres are still vitally necessary for maintaining community and civic life. Applicable to urban renewal projects around the globe, Herzog's book will be important reading for planners, architects, designers, and all citizens interested in creating more liveable cities.

翻过，关于美国的城市中心与公共空间何去何从的问题以及如何借鉴拉丁城市的经验。突然觉得美国的城市包袱也挺重的，美国城市发展路径和欧洲几乎截然不同，却因为在今天几乎是英语国家的中心所以被理所应当地认为应该与欧洲城市有某种关联，特别是公共空间，在欧陆国家中公共空间形态是个体与城市与国家之间关系的体现，而在美国这种个人化的社会中自然难以产生对应的空间形态与公共生活，这在欧陆的视野中显得十分不可接受。东方的城市自成一体似乎显而易见，美国城市的特质相比之下却更容易被避而不谈了（忍不住吐槽，当所有的引用都被概括为‘有一位学者说’‘又有另外一位学者说’的时候看起来好难受。。。）
