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

讀後感
《美国大城市的死与生（the Death and Life of Great American Cities）》出版于1961年，从此后就变成建筑界、城市规划领域最著名的书之一。我的学生时代一直感到奇怪，怎么一本各个老师都会提起的书却从来没在图书馆里看到。原来上世纪八十年代，清华大学的汪坦教授曾主持翻译...
評分看完每一章后，拿中文简单归纳了一下。 [1.前言] 表达对当下（当时）城市规划的不满，欲提出自己的新规则。首先提出城市与郊区/城镇不同，城市的本质是人的集合，显要特点是大，不能将城市以“田园”的形式处理，即分散住户，大面积带入自然特征。反对“自然”、“草地”即是人...
評分Jane Jacobs前年过世，享年九十一岁。我就是在那时买了这本书，而中文版旋即面市了。这是1961年出版的作品，试问有多少书可以屹立半个世纪而影响力不衰呢？无论如何，半个世纪之后，我们这片大破大立的土地上终于有人明白到Jane Jacobs这本书的时代意义了！只是不知，...
評分我并没有读完这本书，在读完一半的时候，我就停下来了，并不是因为这本书不够精彩，可能是我跟不上作者的节奏了。作者叙述和讨论的节奏比较缓慢，切入点都是美国的细小的街区生活。我本来不想写对于此书的评论，虽然作者对城市观点是反对学院城市规划原理的，是革新的，但...
評分下面这些都不是我写的，原链接在这里。 http://book.douban.com/review/6190677/ 我想到的作者都想到了，我就不重写一遍浪费时间了。 要想在城市的街道和地区生发丰富的多样性，四个条件不可缺少： 1）地区以及其尽可能多的内部区域的主要功能要多于一个，最好是多于两个。 2...
用戶評價
"Eyes on the street"; Mixed-Use Development
评分重讀一遍纔發現這本書是越讀越有味道的，不禁又給加瞭一星。雅各布斯被稱為城市空想傢，她的很多觀點確實從操作性來說與現實有悖，但不可否認的是她提供可一種創造性的理論。雅各布斯批判正統，幾乎批判瞭我們所熟知、鍾愛、崇拜的許多城市規劃領域的巨擘，在她看來，這些所謂的專傢不過就像盲人摸象（其實誰不是這樣呢），程式、同質、平均化的規劃是雅各布斯極力反對的，跑去鄉村搗鼓更被她看作愚蠢，她認為這種忽略社會資本的簡單化操作是在自掘墳墓，關注城市居民的實際體驗和生活過程纔是拯救城市之亡的良藥。
评分非常值得看的書，有強烈的個人價值觀。
