In this pioneering study of contemporary Chinese urban form, Duanfang Lu provides an analysis of how Chinese society constructed itself through the making and remaking of its built environment. She shows that as China’s quest for modernity created a perpetual scarcity as both a social reality and a national imagination, the realization of planning ideals was postponed. The work unit – the socialist enterprise or institute – gradually developed from workplace to social institution which integrated work, housing and social services. The Chinese city achieved a unique geography made up in large part of self-contained work units.
Remaking Chinese Urban Form provides an important reference for academics and students conducting research on China. It will be a key source for courses on Asia in architecture, urban planning, geography, sociology and anthropology, at both the graduate and undergraduate level. The insightful yet accessible introduction to urban China will also be of interest to architects, urban designers and planners – as well as general audience who wish to learn about contemporary Chinese society.
Duanfang Lu is Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Planning at the University of Sydney, Australia.
This Book provides an intriguing perspective to view Chinese city as “third world modernity – the utopianization of modernity” where “scarcity and modernity are conceptually reconciled” (Lu, 2006, p. 11). Although the book is not specifically talking ...

文本的论证逻辑链条异常清晰,结构组织得如同精密的机械装置,每一个章节、每一个段落都紧密咬合,层层递进,没有丝毫拖泥带水之感。尤其是在处理复杂概念和跨学科理论引用时,作者采用了非常巧妙的过渡和衔接技巧,使得原本晦涩的理论也变得易于理解和消化。这体现了作者高超的知识整合能力和叙事技巧。读起来,你不会感到思维的跳跃或迷失,而是被一股稳定而有力的智力驱动着向前推进。这种行文风格,对于需要从基础概念逐步建立复杂认知体系的读者来说,简直是福音。它展现的不是简单的信息罗列,而是一套精心构建的认知地图,引导读者从宏观视角清晰地把握研究的全貌,并能准确追踪到每一个细节支撑点的逻辑归属。
评分书中引用的案例分析部分,展现了一种非常细致入微的田野调查功底。作者似乎花费了大量时间穿梭于不同的城市肌理之中,那种对地方性知识的捕捉能力令人印象深刻。我特别留意到其中一章对特定区域旧城改造的剖析,它没有停留在宏大的政策解读层面,而是深入到社区尺度的微观变化中,通过对居民访谈、空间流线变化等非量化数据的交叉验证,构建出一个多维度的认知框架。这种研究方法论上的扎实程度,使得论述充满了生命力和说服力,远非一般理论堆砌的文本可比。它不仅仅是描述“发生了什么”,更深层次地探讨了“为什么会这样发生”,以及“这对居住其中的人意味着什么”,这种人文关怀与学术严谨性的完美结合,让人在阅读时仿佛身临其实地,感受到了城市变迁的真实脉搏。
评分这部著作的封面设计着实引人注目,采用了沉稳的墨绿色调,搭配烫金的字体,给人一种厚重而又不失现代感的视觉体验。内页的纸张质感相当出色,翻阅时能感受到一种愉悦的触感,这对于一本学术性较强的书籍来说,无疑是一个加分项。装帧工艺也体现了出版方对细节的把控,书脊的粘合牢固,即便经常翻阅也不易散页。光是捧在手里,就能感受到它沉甸甸的专业分量。我尤其欣赏书中排版的留白处理,既保证了文字信息的密度,又使得阅读起来不会感到压迫,这一点在长时间阅读中显得尤为重要。从外在的物理形态来看,它成功地塑造了一种知识载体的专业形象,让人在尚未深入内容之前,就已经对其产生了尊重和期待。这种对书籍实体本身的重视,往往预示着内容上的精益求精,让人对即将展开的阅读旅程充满信心。
评分插图与图表的运用达到了教科书级别的范本效果。这不是那种敷衍了事的简单配图,而是经过精心挑选和重新绘制的数据可视化作品。很多复杂的空间关系、城市演变的阶段性对比,仅凭文字描述往往会陷入冗长和模糊,但这里的图表,寥寥数笔便将核心信息直观地传递了出来。特别是那些比例尺精确的剖面图和历史地图的叠加对比,它们本身就成为了有力的论据,直接佐证了文本的论点。这表明研究者在最终的呈现阶段,投入了巨大的精力来优化读者的信息接收效率。这种对视觉辅助工具的重视,极大地提升了阅读体验的深度和效率,让非专业背景的读者也能快速抓住核心的地理空间概念。
评分整本书散发着一种冷静而深刻的反思精神。它没有陷入盲目的颂扬或极端的批判,而是始终保持着一种审慎的学术距离,对城市发展中的各种驱动力和约束条件进行了平衡的探讨。尤其是在讨论现代性对传统聚落结构的影响时,作者的笔触显得尤为克制和富有洞察力。它似乎在邀请读者一同参与到这场关乎未来的对话中,而不是单方面地灌输既定结论。这种成熟的、多角度权衡的姿态,是真正优秀学术作品的标志。它留给读者的,不是一个终结性的答案,而是一系列更深刻、更具挑战性的问题,促使我们跳出固有的思维定势,重新审视我们所身处的城市环境的本质和未来走向。
评分单位制、广场舞
