It's fascinating to see how some of the main constructs that help define a city ie. major roads, intersections, are still highly visible and intact over 100 years later. Would recommend "The City in History" by Lewis Mumford. Great read about how cities have formed, died, and some renewed throughout history.
……《House》——还没读。《Last Harvest: How a Cornfield Became New Daleville》，维托尔德·里布琴斯基著，讲述了一片农田演变为住宅区的过程。。稍微更有难度一点的：刘易斯·芒福德的《历史中的城市》，用“大部头”来形容最合适不过了——城市规划入门课程的必读物。弗朗西斯·钦的《建筑结构图解》（Building Construction Illustrated），一本关于基础住宅建筑的优质图解入门书……

看到定义一座城市的一些主要结构，比如主干道、十字路口，在100多年后依然清晰可见且完好无损，真挺有意思的。推荐刘易斯·芒福德的《历史中的城市》。对于城市在历史上如何形成、消亡以及部分如何重获新生，这本书写得很棒，非常值得一读。

如果你对这类事情的历史感兴趣，刘易斯·芒福德的《历史中的城市》绝对值得一读。考据极为扎实，而且讲得一点都不枯燥。

……参与度的有简·雅各布斯的《美国大城市的死与生》、威廉·怀特的《组织人》、C·赖特·米尔斯的《白领》、默里·布克钦的《城市的局限》，以及刘易斯·芒福德的《历史中的城市》。我认为这些大部分都很符合“长盛不衰”的状态。几年前曾有一个挺有意思的研讨会，结合公共领域的变化重新审视了这些论点：https://www.chronicle.com/specialreport/After-The-Last/16

……专制统治者，其寿命长到足以完成自己的构想。去修改这种规划、引入另一种风格的新鲜元素，就是在打断其美学脊梁。——刘易斯·芒福德，《历史中的城市》
