The Death and Life of Great American Cities pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
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.

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.

读后感
【平媒已刊】 上两个礼拜，我所住的钱塘江边某条路西段唯一的一家书店关门歇业了。这对于生活在其间几个小区的人们来说，实在算不上一件大事。毕竟我们买书的渠道要远不止在一间十几平方米的书店里驻足翻阅然后挑选购买这样一种有限的方式。 我的朋友就住在书店南...
评分交给老师的读书笔记删掉一些八股剩下的零碎东西： 每次有朋友来厦门旅游，他们最喜欢现代整洁色彩斑斓的环岛路，和连接鼓浪屿历史文物别墅与可爱店铺的街道。而我更喜欢一个人漫步在两旁晾晒着普通内衣裤的有人情味的小巷。它们也一样安静，但背景里人们琐碎的生活噪音以及交...
评分我是外行乱入的……如果是专业学城市规划的请直接忽略这篇…… 得刚开始上网的时候，就有了在线社区。从QQ公共聊天室到可乐8，从Discuz搭建的论坛到Facebook，自从有了这个线上的虚拟世界之后，社区这个词就频繁的出现。 说起在线社区，脑子里最直观的是BBS，这是最容易理解...
评分再次感谢豆瓣，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，...
评分我读这本书是因为要写城市社会学的读书报告。以下是读书报告，欢迎指正。 阅读了《美国大城市的死与生》之后，我想起了自己的经历。我住在远离市中心的一个大型小区里。所谓“大型”，指的是整个小区的门牌号码有近80个，人口上万。小区的景色很优美，有一个和未名湖相比差不...

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. "
