The Death and Life of Great American Cities 被 The New York Times 誉为“也许是城市规划史上最具影响力的单部著作……［它］也可以放在更宏大的语境中看待。它首先是一部文学作品；对街头生活如芭蕾般律动的描写，以及对传统规划理论针针见血的辛辣讽刺，即使对于很久以前就已经吸收并采纳了该书观点的人来说，读来依旧令人愉悦。”20世纪60年代初在纽约市担任建筑编辑兼作家的 Jane Jacobs 认为，城市的多样性与活

……一个国家和经济体，尤其是当你试图去彻底改变它时（比如去“发展”它、消除贫困等）。它让当年 22 岁、一心想拯救世界的“专业人士”的我深感谦卑。Jane Jacobs 的《The Death and Life of Great American Cities》在探讨这种经济与技术官僚式发展的主题上紧随其后。更新：我发现有 22 个赞了。哇！如果你也是这本书的粉丝，或者想了解更多，欢迎留言交流。我很乐意……
…country and economy well, especially if you are trying to completely change it (i.e., "develop" it, solve poverty, etc.). It humbled me as a 22 year old "professional" wanting to fix the world. "The Death and Life of Great American Cities" by Jane Jacobs is a close second to this theme of economic, technocratic development. EDIT: I notice 22 upvotes. WOW! If you are a fan of this book or curious to hear more, please comment. Happy to…
……这一点。书单里的 19 本书中只有 2 本是女性作者写的（而且都是由女性推荐的）。想找一些女性作者的好书？可以看看这些：非虚构类：* Tara Brach 的《Radical Acceptance》* Jane Jacobs 的《The Death and Life of Great American Cities》* Angela Davis 的《Freedom Is a Constant Struggle》* Brené Brown 的《Rising Strong》* Stacy Shiff 的《Cleopatra》* Michelle Alexander 的《The New Jim Crow》虚构类：* Ursula Le Guin 的任何作品 *……
…about it. 2 of 19 the books in the list are by female authors (both recommended by women). Looking for some good books from women?

而 Jane Jacobs 用了大半辈子去证明他的理念往好了说是目光短浅，往坏了说就是大错特错。历史对 Jacobs 的评价要正面得多。《Death and Life of Great American Cities》如今已经是城市规划的入门必读书了。
And Jane Jacobs spent a significant portion of her life proving his ideals at best short-sighted, and at worst out-right wrong. History remembers Jacobs far more fondly. Death and Life of Great American Cities is now town planning 101.
……街道以及混合用途开发。如果居民看重自己的社区，他们就会在物理空间、经济和社会层面去悉心维护它。Jane Jacobs 在其经典著作《The Death and Life of Great American Cities》中对这一点进行了深入探讨。这本书现在读来依然不过时，并且深刻启发了许多新城市主义的思想。
…streets, and mixed use development. If residents value their communities, they will take care of them physically, economically, and socially. This was explored a lot in a classic work by Jane Jacobs (The Death and Life of Great American Cities). It's still a relevant read and informs much of new urbanist thinking.
……改装的主板，还是一个真正让人居住的城市？如果一个可持续且宜居的城市在照片上看起来并没那么抓人眼球呢？Jane Jacobs 在《The Death and Life of Great American Cities》第 19 章深入探讨了这个话题。下面是前几段（如果有机会的话，整本书都非常值得一读）：——当我们与城市打交道时，我们是在与生命最复杂、最密集的形式打交道。因为这……
…pimped up motherboard or a city where people actually live? What if a sustainable and livable city doesn't look very exciting on picture? Jane Jacobs addresses this topic at length in Chapter 19 of The Death and Life of Great American Cities. Here are the first few paragraphs (the whole book is a worthwhile read if you have the chance): - When we deal with cities we are dealing with life at its most complex and intense. Because this is…
……在 Powell's 卖 12 美元——大概是我见过的最便宜的了（英国亚马逊上有很多，差不多 15 英镑起）。如果你觉得 pg 写的那些关于城市的文章挺有意思或者简直不知所云，那就去读读 Jane Jacobs 关于城市的三部曲吧：《The Death and Life of Great American Cities》、《The Economy of Cities》、《Cities and the Wealth of Nations》。其写作水准和思想深度，绝对对得起最后一本书标题透出的那股傲气。
…for $12 - about the cheapest I saw (lots on Amazon uk, starting at about 15 pounds) - from Powell's. If you found pg's cities essays interesting or clueless, read Jane Jacobs's trilogy on cities: The Death and Life of Great American Cities The Economy of Cities Cities and the Wealth of Nations The quality of the writing, and the thought, more than fully justify the hubris of the last title.
