北美的城市规划总让我想起 Kunstler。几年前我在温尼伯美术馆听过他关于石油峰值的演讲，并买了厚厚的《The Geography of Nowhere》（http://www.amazon.com/Geography-Nowhere-Americas-Man-Made-La...）。那本书彻底打开了我的思路，让我明白了城市中的各种元素是如何相互关联的，以及社区和经济活动……
City planning in North America always makes me think of Kunstler. I saw him speak at the Winnipeg Art Gallery years ago about peak oil, and bought his book The Geography of Nowhere (http://www.amazon.com/Geography-Nowhere-Americas-Man-Made-La...). That book completely opened up my thinking about how the elements in a city relate to each other, and how community and economic activity…
……改善环境的唯一方法是多建，而任何需求或价格上涨都不会促成这一点，因为正如我所说，那是违法的。如果你想了解更多，我推荐 Shoup 博士的《The High Cost of Free Parking》和 Kunstler 的《The Geography of Nowhere》。
…to improve the environment is to build more of it and no demand or price increase will do that because, as I mentioned, it's illegal. I recommend "The High Cost of Free Parking" by Dr. Shoup, and "The Geography of Nowhere" by Kunstler if you want to understand more.
……修饰或图案。它们唯一的共同点就是庞大的体量和赤裸裸的炫耀，唯一的目的就是宣告：“老子有钱，品味见鬼去吧。”关于郊区祸患（也就是麦克豪宅 McMansion）我所知道的最好的阐述，就是 James Howard Kunstler 的《The Geography of Nowhere》。
…flourishes or motifs. They share only size and a brutal ostentation intended only to say, "I have money, and taste be damned." The best exposition I know on the suburban blight AKA McMansions is "The Geography of Nowhere" by James Howard Kunstler.
……有点拐弯抹角了。事实是，建筑界建制派很大程度上要为毁掉西方的美学遗产负责。Kunstler 在《Geography of Nowhere》中向普通人挑明了这一点。这是一系列事件的合流：建筑建制派对传统主义和地域风格的仇视，再加上企业精英对廉价、去技能化劳动力、流水线人手……
…around the bush quite a bit. The reality is that the architectual establishment is largely responsible for destroying the aesthetic inheritance in the west. Kunstler lays this out for the layman in "Geography of Nowhere". It was a confluence of events: the architectual establishments hatred of traditionalism and regional forms, combined with the corporate elites love of the inexpensive, anti-skilled labor, massed man…
……沃尔玛，但成本和风险要高得多。当效率/安全成为你最主要的首选需求时，多样性和丰富性就会遭殃。这正是 Kunstler 在《The Geography of Nowhere》中充分探讨的困境，该书痛惜了由于过度迎合狭隘诉求而优化出的城市/乡村设计所带来的社会代价，这剥夺了人们在更广阔的空间体验和共享公共空间的机会……
…Walmart, but at substantially greater cost/risk. When efficiency/safety becomes primary among your desiderata, variety and diversity will suffer. This is the exact conundrum covered well in Kunstler's "The Geography of Nowhere" which bemoaned the social cost arising from city/village design that was optimized to serve too narrow a set of priorities, thereby eliminating opportunity to experience and share common spaces in more…
