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.

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)...

評分走出庭院之后 ——城市小区的兴起及新人际空间的形成 ■ varro 现代城市生活是在走出庭院之后开始的。这种生活正在日益把人们限定在一个个促狭的空间里——或许是有形的物理空间,比如办公室的格子间;或许是无形的心理空间,你看得出对面走来那个穿阿玛尼西服的男人,此...
