Lewis Mumford's massive historical study brings together a wide array of evidence--from the earliest group habitats to medieval towns to the modern centers of commerce (as well as dozens of black-and-white illustrations)--to show how the urban form has changed throughout human civilization. His tone is ultimately somewhat pessimistic: Mumford was deeply concerned with what he viewed as the dehumanizing aspects of the metropolitan trend, which he deemed "a world of professional illusionists and their credulous victims." (In another typically unrestrained criticism, he dubbed the Pentagon a Bronze Age monument to humanity's basest impulses, as well as an "effete and worthless baroque conceit.") Mumford hoped for a rediscovery of urban principles that emphasized humanity's organic relationship to its environment. The City in History remains a powerfully influential work, one that has shaped the agendas of urban planners, sociologists, and social critics since its publication in the 1960s.

评分看Mumford如此嘴炮大开,不遗余力地黑罗马,I'm angry! 再往后读,觉得有点太小清新了。但能写出这书依然了不起,四星。

可以说是一部鸿篇巨制,以前在图书馆读过,发现作者在60年代思考的问题,用之于我们现在的城市,仍有非常大的借鉴意义。作者以一位伟大的人本主义者的姿态,为我们诠释了什么才是真正的城市,城市不仅是具有磁力的空间,而且是生命的容器。多少人怀揣着“城市梦”,但现实...
评分一般写城市史很容易写成城市政治经济史,或者变成城市建筑史。但是路易斯芒福德却奇怪的抓住了城市本身,我又很难说城市本身是什么,只觉得他写的就是城市,写到表象,源流,机理,美学,哲理,全都具备了。这是难得一见的杰作,只是在写到当代城市时,同样显得束手无措与词穷...
评分知道这本书,是在国外一个规划网站上推荐的规划必读二十本经典名著。将近五百页,又冠以城市发展史这样的标签,便决定拿来读一读。 这本书我前后花了将近三个月的时间才断断续续地读完,中间一度想过要放弃。因为在我看来,内容繁琐啰嗦,所用的术语也不太专业,...
评分第四章 古代城市的本质 一.城市功能的发展 (p101-p105) 本节总结了古代早期城市的一些性质。 首先是,作者提出城市的发展过程是漫长的,很有可能物质外形的很大部分都先于王权制度而出现。城市最初的目的,如同一种工具,用来统治人和自然,使城市社区本身服务于神明。而当城...
