這書真的一般。掉書袋,太簡化問題,是我討厭的部分。而且,看全是字的書真的快把我逼瘋瞭。
評分適閤碎片化閱讀。Center on people rather than places
評分: C912.81/G543
評分說不好給滿分是不是有身為城市人的偏見在。在這個想法和競爭創造財富的時代,城市就是經濟增長的最佳溫床。當然前提是大傢都endorse新教倫理觀類似的意識形態。很多地方寫得有史詩感。唯一不足是作為全傢人生贏傢的作者,pro城市的自我意識太明顯,以及對中國城市經濟發展刻畫得並不是那麼迴事。沒事,整體的想法還是很棒並且Chicago school的傳承和中和也很喜歡啊
評分梳理瞭城市作為人類發展的結果和原因的種種。諸如城市更環保,高樓大廈更有利於交通等等理念頗具思辨性。為什麼城市通常比鄉村更成功,有些城市為什麼更成功,不同城市的發展前景等探討的問題值得玩味。
Edward Glaeser is the Fred and Eleanor Glimp Professor of Economics at Harvard University. He studies the economics of cities, housing, segregation, obesity, crime, innovation, and other subjects, and writes about many of these issues for Economix. He serves as the director of the Taubman Center for State and Local Government and the Rappaport Institute for Greater Boston. He is also a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute.

A pioneering urban economist offers fascinating, even inspiring proof that the city is humanity's greatest invention and our best hope for the future.
America is an urban nation. More than two thirds of us live on the 3 percent of land that contains our cities. Yet cities get a bad rap: they're dirty, poor, unhealthy, crime ridden, expensive, environmentally unfriendly... Or are they?
As Edward Glaeser proves in this myth-shattering book, cities are actually the healthiest, greenest, and richest (in cultural and economic terms) places to live. New Yorkers, for instance, live longer than other Americans; heart disease and cancer rates are lower in Gotham than in the nation as a whole. More than half of America's income is earned in twenty-two metropolitan areas. And city dwellers use, on average, 40 percent less energy than suburbanites.
Glaeser travels through history and around the globe to reveal the hidden workings of cities and how they bring out the best in humankind. Even the worst cities-Kinshasa, Kolkata, Lagos- confer surprising benefits on the people who flock to them, including better health and more jobs than the rural areas that surround them. Glaeser visits Bangalore and Silicon Valley, whose strangely similar histories prove how essential education is to urban success and how new technology actually encourages people to gather together physically. He discovers why Detroit is dying while other old industrial cities-Chicago, Boston, New York-thrive. He investigates why a new house costs 350 percent more in Los Angeles than in Houston, even though building costs are only 25 percent higher in L.A. He pinpoints the single factor that most influences urban growth-January temperatures-and explains how certain chilly cities manage to defy that link. He explains how West Coast environmentalists have harmed the environment, and how struggling cities from Youngstown to New Orleans can "shrink to greatness." And he exposes the dangerous anti-urban political bias that is harming both cities and the entire country.
Using intrepid reportage, keen analysis, and eloquent argument, Glaeser makes an impassioned case for the city's import and splendor. He reminds us forcefully why we should nurture our cities or suffer consequences that will hurt us all, no matter where we live.
其实这本书去年四月回harvard时,就在coop买好了。眨眼间放在书柜都快一年了,眼见中文版在国内如火如荼,业内人士纷纷引为圣经,我才想起来看。 个人对glasaer的期待是,用城市经济学的视角来描述城市的现象,凡事能有个理由,而非简单现象的罗列。这本书最初的两章还是很有...

評分偶然的一次机会拿到这本书,两周的时间断断续续读完,文字翻译得不枯燥,有一点报告性质的文笔,字里行间流露出作者毕生的经历思考,对于城市的发展,书中列举了很多世界城市成功的历程,如新加坡、巴黎;也有发展没落的城市,如美国的底特律。再次想到那句话,以史为鉴,可以...

評分这本书的标题,以及其英文副标题"How our greatest invention makes us richer,smarter,greener,healthier and happier",毫不含糊地表明了作者的立场。对于一个在城市问题上受Lewis Mumford启蒙且深受其害的读者来说,对这样的观点自然不敢苟同。同时作为一个学经济学的人,我...
