(THE DEATH AND LIFE GREAT AMRICAN CITIES) promote social and econo mic vitality in cities, and what practices and OF prin ciple will deade n these attributes.(2002.2.8) 美国女作家简.雅各布斯Ja ne Jacobs) 1 In troduct ion This book is and attack on city planning and rebuilding. It is also, and mostly, an attempt to introduce new principles of city planning and rebuild ing, differe nt and eve n opposite from those now taught in everyth ing from schools of architecture and planning to the Sun day suppleme nts and women s magazines. My attack is not based on quibbles about rebuild ing methods or hairsplitt ing about fashions in design. It is an attack, rather, on the principles and aims that have shaped modern, orthodox city pla nning and rebuildi ng.(2002.2.8) In setti ng forth differe nt principles, I shall mainly be writing about com mon, ordinary thin gs: for instanee, what kinds of city streets are safe and what kinds are not; why some city parks are marvelous and others are vice traps and death traps; why some slums stay slums and other slums regenerate themselves even against financial and official opposition; what makes downtowns shift their cen ters; what, if any thi ng, is a city neighborhood, and what jobs, if any, neighborhoods in great cities do.
