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.
a classic. but, I never finished a whole chapter. only bits by bits

評分還是原版好
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《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...
評分我是外行乱入的……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...
