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.
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.
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…
评分ww之前看到有谁把Jacobs, Rachel Carson和Friedan放在一起说是三个改变了时代的伟大的女性。其实完全是个外行在读一本外行写的书,但是真的有趣易懂,超级棒。"...principle is the need of cities for a most intricate and close-grained diversity of uses that give each other constant mutual support, both economically and socially. "
评分实际上这是本社会学的书,Jane Jacobs讲这么多就是一句话: better city, better life,死与生指的是城市的decay和regeneration,安全(safety)只是催发多样性(diversity)的一个必要因素,单独拿出来作为设计目的毫无意义。若只为安全而各种封闭各种fencing,那就更可笑了。

Jane Jacobs前年过世,享年九十一岁。我就是在那时买了这本书,而中文版旋即面市了。这是1961年出版的作品,试问有多少书可以屹立半个世纪而影响力不衰呢?无论如何,半个世纪之后,我们这片大破大立的土地上终于有人明白到Jane Jacobs这本书的时代意义了!只是不知,...
评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...

评分先来讲个很老套的故事,我记得以前在日志里也写过的。 一位妈妈给她自己的妈妈买了很多好吃的,但每次老太太都留给孙子吃,看着孙子吃得高兴,老太太很快乐。有一天妈妈发现了,逼着老太太吃掉自己买的吃的,老太太很伤心,一边哭一边吃掉那些好吃的东西。 这是我很小的时候看...
