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.

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《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...
