The Death and Life of Great American Cities pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載 2025
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.
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。

評分ww之前看到有誰把Jacobs, Rachel Carson和Friedan放在一起說是三個改變瞭時代的偉大的女性。其實完全是個外行在讀一本外行寫的書,但是真的有趣易懂,超級棒。"...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. "
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,...

評分美国著名城市规划学家简·雅各布斯曾说过——“伟大的街道造就伟大的城市”。任何城市都是由局部的街道所构成,而街道里则流淌着城市的文化基因。街道、建筑,以及围绕它们所产生的故事、传说、文化、叙事,往往构成我们对一座城市的基本认知。 其实,如果能够以百年、甚至千年...
評分我常常在城市中迷失——在北京满是尘土的未来朝阳CBD里,在上海习以为常的延安高架的车流堵塞中或是在广州那无限延伸的混乱的广州大道上——这就是所谓步向美好的城市? 勃兴、衰败与重新复活的发展阶段与发展边际在当下的中国城市,表现得仿如潮汐般迅速变更。我们身边满是那...
