1.《流浪：美国城市的贫穷阶级与穷困街区》
Homeless：Poverty and Place in Urban America（Politics and Culture in Modern America）
作者：Ella Howard
出版社：University of Pennsylvania Press
出版时间：January 24，2013
作者简介：Ella Howard teaches urban history and material culture at Armstrong Atlantic State University.
艾拉·霍华德在阿姆斯壮亚特兰大州立大学教授城市史与物质文化相关课程。
内容简介：The homeless have the legal right to exist in modern American cities，yet antihomeless ordinances deny them access to many public spaces.How did previous generations of urban dwellers deal with the tensions between the rights of the homeless and those of other city residents？Ella Howard answers this question by tracing the history of skid rows from their rise in the late nineteenth century to their eradication in the mid‐twentieth century.
Focusing on New York’s infamous Bowery，Homeless analyzes the efforts of politicians，charity administrators，social workers，urban planners，and social scientists as they grappled with the problem of homelessness.The development of the Bowery from a respectable entertainment district to the nation’s most infamous skid row offers a lens through which to understand national trends of homelessness and the complex relationship between poverty and place.Maintained by cities across the country as a type of informal urban welfare，skid rows anchored the homeless to a specific neighborhood，offering inhabitants places to eat，drink，sleep，and find work while keeping them comfortably removed from the urban middle classes.This separation of the homeless from the core of city life fostered simplistic and often inaccurate understandings of their plight.Most efforts to assist them centered on reforming their behavior rather than addressing structural economic concerns.
By midcentury，as city centers became more valuable，urban renewal projects and waves of gentrification destroyed skid rows and with them the public housing and social services they offered.With nowhere to go，the poor scattered across the urban landscape into public spaces，only to confront laws that effectively criminalized behavior associated with abject poverty.Richly detailed，Homeless lends insight into the meaning of homelessness and poverty in twentieth‐century America and offers us a new perspective on the modern welfare system.
美国的流浪汉有在城市中逗留的权利，但很多公共地区却禁止其入内。前几代的城市居民是怎样处理流浪汉和他们之间的紧张关系的？作者追溯了穷困街区19世纪后期崛起，在20世纪中叶消失的历史，回答了这一问题。
本书聚焦在纽约市著名的包厘街（Bowery，纽约曼哈顿区南部的一条街道和小型街区——译者注），分析了政客、慈善管理员、社会工作者、城市规划师、科学家和社会科学家为解决无家可归者的社会问题所做的努力。包厘街从有体面的娱乐活动的地区，蜕变为一条臭名昭著的街区的过程的一个典型范例，某种程度上代表了全美国流浪汉的境遇，以及贫穷阶级与穷困街区之间的复杂关系。美国城市中都有一条不成文的规定，那就是城市内有一个地区为流浪汉提供食物和饮水，同时允许他们在此睡觉和工作，从而将这个群体同城市中的中产阶级隔离起来。这种隔离行为是简单的，并且经常由于没有深入了解现实而治标不治本。帮助流浪汉的努力应致力于改变其的行为，而非单纯将经济利益作为考量标准。
到了20世纪中叶，城市中心变得更具价值，城市更新计划和高档化改造活动摧毁了穷困街区，也摧毁了穷困街区中的公共住房和社会服务。由于失去了落脚之处，散落在城市中的穷困者逐渐出现在大众视野中，同将赤贫相关行为定为犯罪的法律相对抗。本书洞察了20世纪的美国流浪汉和贫困的意义，并为我们提供了考察现代福利制度的新视角。
评论：“Howard seamlessly weaves larger issues of urban renewal，housing，alcohol research，the deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill，and gentrification into her history of the Bowery，which serves as a touchstone to which she returns.The result is a history of American policy on homelessness at the federal，state，and municipal levels that remains grounded in the lived experience of homeless men and women in the middle decades of the twentieth century.”
—Eric Schneider，author of Smack：Heroin and the AmericanCity
“霍华德缜密地将城市更新、房地产、酒精研究、精神病患者非机构化和高档化城市改造等背景组织到对包厘街的历史解读中来，这可以成为历史的参考。其结论认为美国联邦政府，以及各州、市出台的一系列管理流浪人员的政策是以20世纪中期流浪人员的生活经历为参照的。”
2.《底特律市：美国大都市的来生》
DetroitCity IsthePlacetoBe：TheAfterlifeof an AmericanMetropolis
作者：Mark Binelli
出版社：Metropolitan Books
出版时间：November 5，2013
内容简介：Once America’s capitalist dream town，Detroit is our country’s greatest urban failure，having fallen the longest and the farthest.But the city’s worst crisis yet（and that’s saying something）has managed to do the unthinkable：turn the end of days into a laboratory for the future.Urban planners，land speculators，neopastoral agriculturalists，and utopian environmentalists—all have been drawn to Detroit’s baroquely decaying，nothing‐left‐to‐lose frontier.
With an eye for both the darkly absurd and the radically new，Detroit‐area native Mark Binelli has chronicled this convergence.Throughout the city’s“museum of neglect”—its swaths of abandoned buildings，its miles of urban prairie—he tracks both the blight and the signs of its repurposing，from the school for pregnant teenagers to a beleaguered UAW local；from metal scrappers and gun‐toting vigilantes to artists reclaiming abandoned auto factories；from the organic farming on empty lots to GM’s risky wager on the Volt electric car；from firefighters forced by budget cuts to sleep in tents to the mayor’s realignment plan（the most ambitious on record）to move residents of half‐empty neighborhoods into a viable，new urban center.
Sharp and impassioned，Detroit City Is the Place to Be is alive with the sense of possibility that comes when a city hits rock bottom.Beyond the usual portrait of crime，poverty，and ruin，we glimpse a longshot future Detroit that is smaller，less segregated，greener，economically diverse，and better functioning—what could be the boldest reimagining of a post‐industrial city in our new century.
Detroit City Is the Place to Be is one of Publishers Weekly’s Top 10 Best Books of 2012.
底特律一度是美国梦的重镇，其衰落持续时间最长影响最为深远。城市危机已经造成了令人最不可思议的后果：城市窘迫的时期反而成为了城市未来新生的参照。城市规划者、土地投机者、新田园农学家和乌托邦环保主义者，都曾一度关注着底特律的巴洛克式衰败，似乎已经是没有什么可失去的了。
底特律土生土长的作者探讨了灰暗衰败与城市新生两种状态的融合。在城市的大片废弃的建筑物中，他追踪了建筑物的破败以及再利用的情况。从怀孕的未成年人学校到陷入困境的汽车工人协会，从好事者、全副武装的警察到利用废弃汽车工厂的艺术家，从空地上的有机农业到由通用汽车公司进行风险投资的雪佛兰电动汽车，从因预算原因睡在帐篷里的消防员到由市长制定的，将半空的街区市民搬到一个新的市中心的调整计划。
本书犀利且激越地叙述了一个城市在衰落到底时如何迎来了新的希望。在一般性犯罪、贫困和毁灭之上，我们可以看到，未来底特律规模更小，隔离更少，更加绿色环保，经济走向多样化，并能够更好地运作——这就是后工业城市在新世纪最大胆的发展策略。
本书名列《出版者周刊》2012年度十佳图书榜。
评论：“Magnificent..A crackling rebuttal to ruin porn，those glossy coffee table books that fetishize Detroit’s decay..A clear‐eyed look at promising recent developments，without any saccharine optimism.”
—The New York Times
“华丽的……对于盲目相信底特律的衰败的人是一个有力的反驳……本书提供了一个观察城市发展的有效视角，不含任何夸张的乐观。”
——《纽约时报》
“As fascinating as Detroit’s current，tentative renaissance is，Binelli masterfully provides a broader story，a 300‐year tour through the formerly wondrous and now wondrously devastated metropolis..A wildly compelling biography of a city as well as a profound commentary on postindustrial America.”
—PublishersWeekly
“如底特律正在发展的现实一般迷人，作者讲述了一个300年跨度的故事，从历史上的奇迹到满目疮痍的大都市……不但是一个极其引人注目的城市传记，而且是后工业时代美国的深刻解读。”
——《出版者周刊》

3.《简·雅各布斯的城市智慧》
The Urban Wisdomof Jane Jacobs
作者：Sonia Hirt（Editor），Diane Zahm（Editor）
出版社：Routledge；1 edition
出版时间：August 10，2012

索尼娅·希尔特和戴安·詹姆是弗吉尼亚理工大学建筑与城市学院副教授，从事城市事务与城市规划研究。
内容简介：Here for the first time is a thoroughly interdisciplinary and international examination of Jane Jacobs’s legacy.Divided into four parts：I.Jacobs，Urban Philosopher；II.Jacobs，Urban Economist；III.Jacobs，Urban Sociologist；and IV.Jacobs，Urban Designer，the book evaluates the impact of Jacobs’s writings and activism on the city，the professions dedicated to city‐building and，more generally，on human thought.Together，the editors and contributors highlight the notion that Jacobs’s influence goes beyond planning to philosophy，economics，sociology and design.They set out to answer such questions as：What explains Jacobs’s lasting appeal and is it justified？Where was she right and where was she wrong？What were the most important themes sheaddressed？And，although Jacobs was best known for her work on cities，is it correct to say that she was a much broader thinker，a philosopher，and that the key to her lasting legacy is precisely her exceptional breadth of thought？
这是对简·雅各布斯遗产的第一次跨学科，以国际化视野进行的梳理。其包含四个部分：（1）作为城市哲学的考量；（2）城市经济学的考量；（3）作为城市社会学的考量；（4）作为城市设计的考量。本书评估了雅各布斯专著的影响力以及城市内的行动，城市建设方面的学术建树以及更重要的，其人本主义思想。本书的编辑们认为雅各布斯的建树超越了哲学、经济学、社会学、设计学这些具体的学科。他们提出这样的问题：怎样解释雅各布斯长久以来的吸引力？这是否是合理的？她哪些地方是对的，哪些地方是错的？她的理论中什么是最重要的？尽管她因为城市上的论著而著名，是否可以认为她是一个更高意义上的思想者，其长久以来的吸引力是否来自其思想的广度？

评论：Named to“Best Non‐Fiction 2012”list，Kirkus Reviews
名列柯林斯评论“2012年十佳非小说类刊物”。
One of the“Best Books of 2012”（Financial Times）.
英国《金融时报》“2012年十佳书籍”。
“Half a century ago，Lewis Mumford published The City in History，a hugely influential and in some ways controversial book that has been the Bible for students and lovers of city life.But that was half a century ago，and around the world the cityscape has undergone enormous changes.A new look at this great subject has for some time been needed，and in City：A Guidebook for the Urban Age，P.D.Smith provides it.A British scholar connected to University College London，Smith is less philosophical and more empirical than Mumford，but if anything this is welcome，as City is wholly accessible to the serious general reader.”
—Jonathan Yardley，Washington Post
“半世纪之前，刘易斯·芒福德出版了《城市发展史》，这部书影响巨大，一些地方激起讨论，成为学生和城市迷们的圣经。但时过境迁，接下来的半个世纪里城市已经经历了翻天覆地的变化。这些变化需要一段时间的沉淀才能显现出来，本书就证明了这一点。英国伦敦大学学院的学者P.D.史密斯同刘易斯·芒福德相比更加注重经验而少思，但无论如何，这是一本需要大家认真阅读的书籍。”
——乔纳森·雅德利，《华盛顿邮报》
“The book..is a rich kaleidoscope celebrating urban life in all its aspects..consistently well‐written and researched—and impressively eclectic..a hugely enjoyable read and an inspiring vision to aim for.”
—TheSpectator（UK）
“本书……是反映城市生活方方面面多彩之处的万花筒……藉由精心的编写令人印象深刻……令读者阅后心情愉悦，对城市的未来充满信心。”

任雪飞（音）是密歇根州立大学副教授，伍德罗·威尔逊国际学者中心成员，从事社会学和全球城市研究。
内容简介：Currently there are more than 125 Chinese cities with a population exceeding one million.The unprecedented urban growth in China presents a crucial development for studies on globalization and urban transformation.This concise and engaging book examines the past trajectories，present conditions，and future prospects of Chinese urbanization，byinvestigating five key themes—governance，migration，landscape，inequality，and cultural economy.
Based on a comprehensive evaluation of the literature and original research materials，Ren offers a critical account of the Chinese urban condition after the first decade of the twenty‐first century.She argues that the urban‐rural dichotomy that was artificially constructed under socialism is no longer a meaningful lens for analyses and that Chinese cities have become strategic sites for reassembling citizenship rights for both urban residents and rural migrants.
The book is essential reading for students and scholars of urban and development studies with a focus on China，and all interested in understanding the relationship between state，capitalism，and urbanization in the global context.
目前，已有超过125个中国城市的人口超百万，中国空前的城市化为研究全球化和城市转型提供了重要案例。本书通过五个因素，管理、人口迁移、城市景观、不公正和文化经济，简明扼要，生动有趣地展现了中国城市化的过去、现在和将来。
基于文学和原创性的研究材料的综合评价，作者对20世纪第一个十年之后的中国城市的情况进行了说明。她认为城乡二元体系的考察角度已经不再适用，同时中国的城市已经成为了城镇居民和农村外来户公民权利重组的战略要地。
本书是中国城市发展研究的学生和学者的必备读物，并适合于探索全球范围内国家、资本主义和城市化之间关系的读者。
7.《比较公民文化：城市决策制定中本土文化的作用》
ComparativeCivic Culture：The Role of Local Culture in Urban Policy‐Making
作者：Laura A.Reese，Raymond A.Rosenfeld
出版社：Ashgate Pub Co.
出版时间：March 2012

劳拉·A.李斯是全球城市研究项目负责人，以及美国密歇根州立大学政治学系教授；雷蒙德·A.罗森菲尔德是美国东密歇根大学政治学系教授。
内容简介：The quest for a theoretical framework for understanding urban policy‐making has been a recurring focus of research into local governments.Civic culture is a means for understanding how municipal policy‐makers weigh the interests of different groups，govern the local community，frame local goals，engage in decision‐making，and ultimately select and implement public policies.While it seems that culture“matters”in local policy making，how to measure culture in a valid and replicable fashion presents a significant challenge which the authors address in this book.They present their findings of a large multi‐city research project to explore the nature of civic culture in cities in the US and Canada.The focus of their analysis is on three overarching“systems”of community power system，the community value system，and the community decision‐making system.The authors address a number of questions around the nature of civic culture and the relationships between the three systemic elements of civic culture，to refine and apply a more sophisticated theory of urban policy‐making.
为城市决策制定理论框架是地方政府研究一直以来的重点。公民文化是理解市政决策者行为的重要手段，其涉及决策者权衡不同团体利益，治理当地社区，拟定本地目标、参与决策以及最终选择和实施公共政策的行为。在此之中文化似乎成为了一个影响因素，作者在书中阐明了怎样将文化衡量为一个有效的和可复制的范式是一个至关重要的挑战。作者提出了他们在多城市（中心）调查项目的结果，探索了美国和加拿大的城市公民文化。他们的分析重点是三个重要的“体系”：社区控制体系、社会价值体系和社区决策体系。作者就公民文化的性质与公民文化三体系之间的关系提出了一系列问题，意在总结出一个更精密的城市决策理论。

内容简介：Today is a new metropolitan age and for the first time ever more people live in cities than they do anywhere else.As cities strengthen their international and cultural influence，the global world is acted out most articulately in the world’s urban hubs—through its diverse cultures，broad networks and innovative styles of governance.Looking at the city through its internal dynamics，the book examines how governance and cultural policy play out in a national and international framework.
Making a truly global contribution to the literature，editors Isar and Anheier bring together a truly international and highly‐respected collection of scholars.In doing so，they skilfully steer debates beyond the city as an economic powerhouse，to cover issues that fully comprehend a city’s cultural dynamics and its impact on policy including alternative economies，creativity，migration，diversity，sustainability，education and urban planning.
Innovative in its approach and content，this book is ideal for students，scholars and researchers interested in sociology，urban studies，cultural studies，and public policy.
当代是一个新的大都市时代，在这个时代中居住在城市中的人的数量前所未有。随着城市加强其国际和文化影响力的提升，在城市中心之中全球化时代的特点表现得淋漓尽致：多样化的文化，广阔的网络和创新的治理风格。寻找在城市通过其内部的动态，本书探讨了城市治理和文化政策怎样在国家和国际范畴之内发挥作用。
编者汇集了真正的国际化和备受尊敬学者的、可谓是一篇真正的全球化研究的文献。学者们巧妙地避开了城市作为经济动力中心功能的争论，重点阐述了城市的文化作用及其对替代性经济、创意、人口迁移、多样化、可持续发展、教育以及城市规划方面政策的影响。
其在内容和方式上的创新，本书适合从事社会学、城市研究、文化研究、公共政策方面研究的学生和学者。
评论：“The cultural presence in struggles around political，economic，technical，and legal issues centered in the realities of cities can become catalysts for changes in a whole range of institutional domains—markets，participatory governance，judicial recourse，cultures of engagement and deliberation，and rights for members of the urban community regardless of lineage and origin.The resurgence of the city as a site for research on these major contemporary dynamics is evident in many different disciplines—sociology，anthropology，economic geography，cultural studies，and literary criticism..This volume is a significant contribution to this larger body of research and interpretation..It opens new ground for research，interpretation and policy making in our emergent global urban era.”
—From the Foreword by Saskia Sassen，Robert S.Lynd Professor of Sociology，Columbia University
“集中在城市中的，围绕政治、经济、技术、法律各方面冲突的文化表现催化了市场、管理、司法、文化，以及城市社区权力平等的形成与参与。城市复兴作为研究当代主要变革的一个方面，涉及社会学、人类学、经济地理、文化研究和文学批评等很多学科……本书对这一庞大的研究对象的解释有所贡献……其在我们新兴的全球城市时代打开了一个新的研究，解释和政策制定上开创了新的领域。”

9.《古代中产阶级：罗马帝国的城市生活与美学，公元前100年—公元250年》
The Ancient Middle Classes：Urban Life and Aesthetics in the Roman Empire，100 BCE‐250 CE
作者：Ernst Emanuel Mayer
出版社：Harvard University Press
出版时间：July 20，2012
内容简介：Our image of the Roman world is shaped by the writings of Roman statesmen and upper class intellectuals.Yet most of the material evidence we have from Roman times—art，architecture，and household artifacts from Pompeii and elsewhere—belonged to，and was made for，artisans，merchants，and professionals.Roman culture as we have seen it with our own eyes，Emanuel Mayer boldly argues，turns out to be distinctly middle class and requires a radically new framework of analysis.
Starting in the first century BCE，ancient communities，largely shaped by farmers living within city walls，were transformed into vibrant urban centers where wealth could be quickly acquired through commercial success.From 100 BCE to 250 CE，the archaeological record details the growth of a cosmopolitan empire and a prosperous new class rising along with it.Not as keen as statesmen and intellectuals to show off their status and refinement，members of this new middle class found novel ways to create pleasure and meaning.In the decor of their houses and tombs，Mayer finds evidence that middle‐class Romans took pride in their work and commemorated familial love and affection in ways that departed from the tastes and practices of social elites.
人们对罗马帝国的印象是通过罗马政治家以及上流社会知识分子著作里的描述所形成的。然而大部分已经取得的物证（庞贝城和其他地区出土的艺术品、建筑式样、家用器物）表明，它们是为工匠、商人和专业人员制作的，并且属于这些人。因此，伊曼纽尔·迈耶大胆地认为，我们以往看待罗马文化的视角实际上带有明显的中产阶级色彩，现如今需要一个全新的分析框架。
从公元前1世纪开始，主要由生活在城郭内的农民形成的古代社区群体很快转化为充满活力的城市中心，在这里通过成功的商业活动财富可以迅速累积。从公元前100年到公元250年，通过考古记录的细节，我们见证了一个世界性帝国的成长以及随之形成的一个繁荣兴旺的新阶层。这个新兴中产阶级的成员发现了新的方式来找寻生活的乐趣和意义，而不像政治家和知识分子们那样热衷于展示他们崇高的地位以及精致的生活方式。在仔细考察新阶层成员的房屋和墓葬后，伊曼纽尔·迈耶还找到了一些证据，以证明罗马中产阶级为工作本身而感到自豪，并且在纪念爱情和亲情的方式上，他们的品位和习惯与当时的社会精英阶层并不相同。
评论：“Moving beyond crude stereotypes of a Roman society riven between a gilded 1 percent and a downtrodden 99 percent，Mayer breaks new ground by marshaling a wide range of archaeological evidence to reconstruct the forgotten world of the comfortable middling households who left their mark on the urban landscapes of the ancient Mediterranean.”
—Walter Scheidel，Stanford University
“迈耶打破了将罗马社会划分为1%的掌权者和99%受压迫的人的固有模型，并且通过重新研究考古证据开辟了一个新的研究领域，来重现在古地中海地区城市规划上刻下印记的生活舒适的中产阶级家庭——这个一度被遗忘的世界。”
——沃特·沙伊德尔，斯坦福大学
“Mayer has written a bold and striking book that sets the houses and tombs of the Roman middle class under the Empire against a carefully researched backdrop of the contemporary urban economy.He pulls together the art，archaeology，and social history of a new monument‐buying class into an elegant and highly readable narrative.”
—R.R.R.Smith，Oxford University
“迈耶此本著作创意新奇、想法惊人，在仔细研究当代城市经济的背景下，对罗马帝国中产阶级的房屋和墓葬进行了详尽的分析。他把艺术、建筑以及有着全新纪念意义的阶层的社会历史融合成一个优雅的具有高度可读性的叙述文本。”
——R.R.R.史密斯，牛津大学
“This is a splendid book written in an engaging style.Mayer illuminates the distinctive social identity and cultural tastes of the the Roman middle classes through a perceptive study of art and literature.His readings of texts and images are subtle and persuasive.Highly recommended for all those interested in Roman Art and Roman Social History.”
—Edward M.Harris，Durham University
“本书文风优美内容翔实，迈耶通过对艺术和文学进行深入的研究阐述了罗马中产阶级与众不同的社会身份认同方式以及文化品位。书中的文字与配图深刻而具有说服力，强烈推荐给那些对罗马艺术和罗马社会史具有浓厚兴趣的人。”
——爱德华·哈里斯，英国杜伦大学

内容简介：Cities have always been dynamic social environments for visual and otherwise symbolic competition between the groups who live and work within them.In contemporary urban areas，all sorts of diversity are simultaneously increased and concentrated，chief amongst them in recent years being the ethnic and racial transformation produced by migration and the gentrification of once socially marginal areas of the city.“Seeing Cities Changes”demonstrates the utility of a visual approach and the study of ordinary streetscapes to document and analyse how the built environment reflects the changing cultural and class identities of neighborhood residents.Discussing the manner in which these changes relate to issues of local and national identities and multiculturalism，it presents studies of various cities on both sides of The Atlantic to show how global forces and the competition between urban residents in“contested terrains”is changing the faces of cities across the globe.
Blending together a variety of sources from scholarly and mass media，this engaging volume focuses on the importance of“seeing”and，in its consideration of questions of migration，ethnicity，diversity，community，identity，class and culture，will appeal to sociologists，anthropologists and geographers with interests in visual methods and urban spaces.
由于生活工作在城市里的不同群体之间存在可视的或象征性的竞争，城市总是作为一个动态的社会环境而存在。在现代城市中，各种差异性都在不断增长和集中，近年来主要的变化是种族和民族的转换，由曾经一度处在社会边缘的人进行迁移和中产阶级化而引起的。《见证城市变迁》一书展示了一种可视性的研究方法，对普通街景进行研究，记录和分析建筑环境如何反映文化的变迁和社区居民阶级身份的变化。本书介绍了大西洋两岸的各类城市的研究，通过讨论国家和地区身份认同以及多元文化主义的变化方式，来展示全球力量和在争议地带中的城市居民内部的竞争如何改变着全球城市的面貌。
这本精彩绝伦的书综合了各种学术成果和大众媒体的信息，不仅注重“见证”，并且内容涉及移民、种族、多样性、社区、身份、阶级和文化等等，必将吸引大量对可视性方法和城市空间有兴趣的社会学家、人类学家和地理学家。

SustainableUrbanismand Beyond：Rethinking Cities for the Future
作者：Tigran Haas
出版社：Rizzoli
出版时间：April 3，2012
作者简介：Tigran Haas is the associate professor of urban development，planning and design and sustainable urbanism at KTH（瑞典皇家理工学院）—The Royal Institute of Technology，Stockholm
齐格兰·哈斯是瑞典皇家理工学院的副教授，专业为城市发展、规划和设计与可持续城市化。
内容简介：The city in the twenty‐first century faces major challenges，including social and economic stratification，wasteful consumption of resources，transportation congestion，and environmental degradation.More than half of the world’s population lives in cities and major metropolitan areas，and in the next two decades the number of city dwellers is estimated to reach five billion.This puts enormous pressures on transportation systems，housing stock，and infrastructure such as energy，waste，and water，which directly influences the emissions of greenhouse gases.
As the long emergency awaits us，urgent questions remain：How will our cities survive？How can we combat and reconcile urban growth with sustainable use of resources for future generations to thrive？Where and how urbanism comes into the picture and what“sustainable”urban forms can do in light of these events are some of the issues Sustainable Urbanism and Beyond explores.With more than sixty essays，including contributions by Andrés Duany，SaskiaSassen，Peter Newman，Douglas Farr，Henry Cisneros，Peter Hall，Sharon Zukin，Peter Eisenman，and others，this book is a unique perspective on architecture，urban planning，environmental and urban design，exploring ways for raising quality of life and the standard of living in a new modern era by creating better and more viable places to live.
21世纪城市发展面临着社会和经济分层、资源浪费、交通拥堵、环境破坏等重大挑战。全世界一半以上的人口居住在城市和主要都市地区，在接下来的20年里，城市居民的数量预计会达到50亿。这将会使城市发展和城市生活承受巨大压力，不论是交通、生活，还是各项基础设施运转，甚至是城市中能源的利用、废弃物的排放处理等都将直接影响城市发展。
城市发展与即将到来的各种不利状况困扰着我们，现阶段最为迫切的问题在于：如何让我们的城市尽可能长久地生存下去？我们该如何调和城市发展需求与资源的可持续利用的矛盾从而为子孙后代造福？何种城市化发展方法是最为恰当的？可持续性城市形态该如何得以实现？城市可持续发展的未来会是怎样？本书援引了超过60篇学术文章，旨在探索如何在新时代提高生活质量和标准，从而创造更好、更可行的居住环境；并在建筑、城市规划和城市环境建设、城市设计等领域提出了独到的见解。
13.《种族隔离：城市分裂的全球史》
Segregation：A Global History of Divided Cities（Historical Studies of Urban America）
作者：Carl H.Nightingale
出版社：University Of Chicago Press
出版时间：May 29，2012
作者简介：Carl H.Nightingale is professor of urban and world history in the Department of Transnational Studies at the University at Buffalo，State University of New York.He is the author of On the Edge：Poor Black Children and Their American Dreams.
卡尔·H.南丁格尔是美国纽约州立大学布法罗分校世界城市史教授，专著有《边缘：贫穷的黑人孩子和他们的美国梦》。
内容简介：When we think of segregation，what often comes to mind is apartheid South Africa，or the American South in the age of Jim Crow—two societies fundamentally premised on the concept of the separation of the races.But as Carl H.Nightingale shows us in this magisterial history，segregation is everywhere，deforming cities and societies worldwide.
Starting with segregation’s ancient roots，and what the archaeological evidence reveals about humanity’s long‐standing use of urban divisions to reinforce political and economic inequality，Nightingale then moves to the world of European colonialism.It was there，he shows，segregation based on color—and eventually on race—took hold；the British East India Company，for example，split Calcutta into“White Town”and“Black Town”.As we follow Nightingale’s story around the globe，we see that division replicated from Hong Kong to Nairobi，Baltimore to San Francisco，and more.The turn of the twentieth century saw the most aggressive segregation movements yet，as white communities almost everywhere set to rearranging whole cities along racial lines.Nightingale focuses closely on two striking examples：Johannesburg，with its state‐sponsored separation，and Chicago，in which the goal of segregation was advanced by the more subtle methods of real estate markets and housing policy.
For the first time ever，the majority of humans live in cities，and nearly all those cities bear the scars of segregation.This unprecedented，ambitious history lays bare our troubled past，and sets us on the path to imagining the better，more equal cities of the future.
每当提起种族隔离，我们想到的往往是南非种族主义或是美国南部的蓄奴时期，这两种社会形态都是建立在种族隔离的基础上。但是正如卡尔·H.南丁格尔在这本权威的历史研究中展现的那样，种族隔离无处不在，影响和改变着世界范围内的城市和社会。
南丁格尔从种族隔离的根源开始着手，通过考古证据来证明人类长期通过城市区划来加剧政治和经济上的不平等，接着他又研究了欧洲殖民主义世界。他指出，在殖民世界里，源于肤色差异而最终归咎于种族差异的种族隔离根深蒂固，例如东印度公司把加尔各答划分为“白城”和“黑城”。当我们在世界范围内跟随南丁格尔的讲述，可以看到从香港到内罗毕，从巴尔的摩到旧金山等地区都无一例外复制了这种划分模式。在19世纪末20世纪初，最激烈的种族隔离运动在各地上演，遍布各地的白人群体把城市按照种族界限重新划分开来。南丁格尔集中讨论了两个明显的例子：一个是以国家名义进行种族隔离的南非约翰内斯堡；另一个则是巧妙地通过房地产市场和住房政策实现的种族隔离的芝加哥。
当今社会是人类有史以来第一次，绝大多数人都生活在城市里，而几乎所有的城市都带有种族隔离的色彩。这本前无古人、豪情万丈的历史研究著作，揭示了我们伤痕累累的过去，并带领我们憧憬更加美好而平等的未来城市。
评论：“This study of the segregation of the world’s cities by race since the eighteenth century is an extraordinary achievement.Its scope is truly global，extending from urban Africa and Asia to the cities of the Americas and Europe and synthesizing in the process a vast literature.Through this prism Carl Nightingale weaves a history which brilliantly links the big themes of empire，migration and racialization to the microanalysis of place and space in cities such as Johannesburg，Calcutta，and Chicago.By reconnecting urban history with the history of race in a genuinely global perspective he creates a new fusion that adds enormously to our understanding of how cities became—and were maintained as—sites of segregation and exclusion.”
—Simon Gunn，director of the Centre for Urban History，University of Leicester
“这本研究18世纪以来世界城市种族隔离的书是一本精彩绝伦的著作。本书的研究范围宏大，它将从亚非到欧美的城市研究融合成一部辉煌巨著。南丁格尔编织了一部历史，在这一历史中他把帝国、移民和种族化这些重要议题同诸如约翰内斯堡、加尔各答以及芝加哥等城市的区位和空间完美地联系在一起。南丁格尔以全球性的视角通过建立城市历史与种族历史之间的联系而创造出一种新的融合，这极大地增加了我们对城市种族隔离的形成、维持以及消亡的理解。”
——西蒙·冈恩，英国莱斯特大学城市历史中心研究主任
“This is a book of genuinely global sweep，traversing continents and millennia of human history.Yet it is also a wonderfully detailed and nuanced work of archivally based history，particularly in its later chapters，which offer fine‐grained accounts of the elaboration of segregationist ideology and practice in two specific cities，Chicago and Johannesburg.This is a terrific book：original，important，and astonishingly broad‐ranging.”
—James Campbell，Stanford University
“这是一部横扫世界、跨越大洲和人类数千年文明历史的皇皇巨著。与此同时，它也是一部细致入微的完全基于史实的作品，特别是在后面的章节中对种族主义作出了详细的阐述，并且在芝加哥和约翰内斯堡这两个城市上进行了很好的例证说明。这是一本非常棒的书：到处闪现着原创思维的火花，在学术界有着举足轻重的地位，内容的广泛性令人叹为观止。”
——詹姆斯·坎贝尔，美国斯坦福大学
“Carl H.Nightingale has written a book of enormous ambition—and accomplishment.Moving between broad patterns and local detail，he has produced a global history of modern coerced racial segregation from its imperial origins to postwar suburbanization.It is a history marked by moral passion，clarity of thought and expression，and extraordinary research on all continents.His rich and powerful argument is that segregation has not only been a global fact but also the result of transnational ideological connections，economic practices，and government policies.”
—Thomas Bender，author of TheUnfinished City：New York and the Metropolitan Idea
“卡尔·H.南丁格尔写了一本充满雄心壮志且成就卓然的书，通过将普遍适用的模式和具有当地特色的细节联系在一起，写出了从帝国起源到战后城市近郊化这段时期，全球范围内的现代强制性种族隔离的历史。南丁格尔对这段历史的描述充满了激情、思维清晰、表达清楚，尤其是在对各大洲的描述上。他用丰富的证据和有力的论点论证了种族隔离不仅是一个全球性的事实，也是跨国的意识形态关系、经济发展和政府政策作用的结果。”

出版社：Routledge
出版时间：May 2，2012
作者简介：Christoph Brumann is Head of Research Group at the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology，Halle，Germany.
Evelyn Schulz is Full Professor for Japanese Studies at Ludwig Maximilians University，Munich，Germany.
克里斯托夫·鲍曼是哈雷德国马克斯普朗克研究所的社会人类学研究小组负责人。
伊夫林·舒尔茨教授在德国慕尼黑大学专门从事日本研究。
内容简介：Urban Spaces in Japan explores the workings of power，money and the public interest in the planning and design of Japanese space.Through a set of vivid case studies of well‐known Japanese cities including Tokyo，Kobe，and Kyoto，this book examines the potential of civil society in contemporary planning debates.Further，it addresses the implications of Japan’s biggest social problem—the demographic decline—for Japanese cities，and demonstrates the serious challenges and exciting possibilities that result from the impending end of Japan’s urban growth.
Presenting a synthetic approach that reflects both the physical aspects and the social significance of urban spaces，this book scrutinizes the precise patterns of urban expansion and shrinkage.In doing so，it also summarizes current theories of public space，urban space，and the body in space which are relevant to both Japan and the wider international debate.
With detailed case studies and more general reflections from a broad range of disciplines，this collection of essays demonstrates the value of cross‐disciplinary cooperation.As such，it is of interest to students and scholars of geography and urban planning as well as history，anthropology and cultural studies.
本书主要探索权力、金钱以及公共利益在日本的空间规划和设计中所起到的作用。通过一组生动的包括东京、神户、京都在内的日本知名城市的案例研究，本书探讨了当代城市规划中公民社会的发展潜力。此外，本书还涉及了日本最大的社会问题——城市人口数量下降，并展示了由于日本城市化进程即将结束而引发的严峻挑战以及各种未知的可能性。
为提供一种既反映出城市空间的物质性又展示其社会意义的综合研究方法，本书详细研究了城市扩张和收缩的精准模式。与此同时，本书还总结了当下的公共空间、城市空间理论，以及在日本本国和在更广泛的国际上具有热议的空间实体案例。
通过详细的案例研究加上广泛的学科研究背景，本论文集充分展示了跨学科合作研究的价值。因此，本书值得推荐给对地理学、城市规划、历史学、人口学以及文化研究有兴趣的学生和学者。
15.《可行走城市：市中心区如何切实拯救美国》
WalkableCity：How Downtown Can Save America，One Step at a Time
作者：Jeff Speck
出版社：Farrar，Straus and Giroux
出版时间：November 12，2013
作者简介：Jeff Speck，coauthor of the landmark bestseller Suburban Nation，is a city planner who advocates for smart growth and sustainable design.As the former director of design at the National Endowment for the Arts，he oversaw the Mayors’Institute on City Design，where he worked with dozens of American mayors on their most pressing city planning challenges.He leads a design practice based in Washington，D.C.
杰夫·斯佩克是具有里程碑意义的畅销书《郊区国家》的合著者，是一名提倡智能增长以及可持续性设计的城市规划师。作为国家艺术基金会前设计总监，他曾经管理过市长城市设计研究所，与数十名美国市长共同迎接当下面临的最紧迫的城市规划挑战，并且在总部位于华盛顿特区的地方亲自指导过一例设计实践。
内容简介：Jeff Speck has dedicated his career to determining what makes cities thrive.And he has boiled it down to one key factor：walkability.
The very idea of a modern metropolis evokes visions of bustling sidewalks，vital mass transit，and a vibrant，pedestrian‐friendly urban core.But in the typical American city，the car is still king，and downtown is a place that’s easy to drive to but often not worth arriving at.
Making walkability happen is relatively easy and cheap；seeing exactly what needs to be done is the trick.In this essential new book，Speck reveals the invisible workings of the city，how simple decisions have cascading effects，and how we can all make the right choices for our communities.
Bursting with sharp observations and real‐world examples，giving key insight into what urban planners actually do and how places can and do change，WalkableCity lays out a practical，necessary，and eminently achievable vision of how to make our normal American cities great again.
杰夫·斯佩克致力于研究决定城市能否兴旺发展的动因，最终他归结于一个关键性的因素，那就是步行可达性。
提到现代化大都市，会使人们想到熙熙攘攘的人行道、繁忙的公共交通和一个充满活力的、行人态度友好的城市中心，然而在典型的美国城市里，汽车仍然占据主导地位，市中心很方便驱车前往，但却并不值得一去。
为了使步行可达性成为一种相对轻松、经济的方式，我们要做的是找到窍门。在这本具有重大意义的新书里面，斯佩克揭示了城市中无形的运作方式，告诉我们一个简单的决定怎样引发一系列后果，以及如何才能为社会发展做出正确的选择。
本书以敏锐的洞察力以及现实世界的案例，告诉我们城市规划者的实践活动，以及城市是如何变化的。其勾勒出了一幅实用的、必要的并且可实现的蓝图，指导普通的美国城市再次发展。
评论：“‘City planning and urban development’are phrases almost guaranteed to bore and confuse regular people.Which is weird，given that cities are the least boring places on earth.Fortunately，Jeff Speck is a deeply knowledgeable，charming，and jargon‐free visionary，a profoundly pragmatic person brimming with common sense everybody can use to improve their own lives as well as their towns and cities.If Jane Jacobs invented a new urbanism，Walkable City is its perfect complement，a commonsense twenty‐first‐century user’s manual.”
—Kurt Andersen，host of Studio 360 and author of TrueBelievers
“‘城市规划和城市发展’是几乎能使普通人感到无聊至极和迷惑不解的范畴。这很奇怪，因为城市是地球上最不令人感到无聊厌倦的地方了。幸运的是，杰夫·斯佩克是一个知识渊博、富有魅力、不卖弄学问，又有远见卓识的人，也是一个深刻而务实的人。在他身上充满了足以让每个人改善他们自己的生活以及完善他们的市镇的常识性知识。如果说简·雅各布斯提出了新的城市化概念，那么《可行走城市》就是对此的一个完美的补充，是21世纪用户常识手册。”
——库尔特·安德森，360工作室的主人，《真正的信徒》的作者
“Companionable and disarmingly candid，Jeff Speck perches on your shoulder and gets you to see your community with fresh eyes.He gradually builds a compelling case for walkability as the essential distillation of a vast trove of knowledge about urbanism and placemaking.The case he makes has you both nodding at the intuitive and seemingly obvious wisdom presented，and shaking your head at why those basic principles of fixing our cities have eluded us for so long.”
—Harriet Tregoning，founder of the National Smart Growth Network
“友好、谦和、真诚的杰夫·斯佩克对你发出友好的邀请，让你用全新的眼光重新审视你的社区。他逐渐为步行可达性城市建立起一个具有吸引力的案例，就像一个关于城市化和场所营造的巨大的知识宝库的浓缩。他建立的案例既让人因为其中闪烁的智慧光芒让人止不住点头称赞，又令人因为里面所运用到的一些基本的城市框架被我们忽略已久而摇头叹息。”
——哈里特·特里格宁，国际智能增长网络创始人
“Jeff Speck understands a key fact about great cities，which is that their streets matter more than their buildings.And he understands a key fact about great streets，which is that the people who walk along them matter more than the cars that drive through them.”
—Paul Goldberger，Pulitzer Prize‐winning architecture critic and author of Why Architecture Matters
“杰夫·斯佩克明白对一个伟大的城市来说，一个至关重要的事实是街道比建筑更加重要；而对一条好的街道来说，行人比车辆更加重要。”

16.《大都市化：中国的土地与财产政策》
TheGreat Urban Transformation：Politicsof Land and Property in China
作者：You‐tien Hsing
出版社：Oxford University Press，USA
出版时间：May 4，2012
作者简介：You‐tien Hsing is Associate Professor of Geography at University of California at Berkeley.She is the author of Making CapitalisminChina：The TaiwanConnection（1998，Oxford University Press）.
辛友天（音）是美国加州大学伯克利分校地理学副教授。她是《在中国发展资本主义：台湾连线》（牛津大学出版社1998年版）一书的作者。
内容简介：As China is transformed，relations between society，the state，and the city have become central.The Great Urban Transformation investigates what is happening in cities，the urban edges，and the rural fringe in order to explain these relations.In the inner city of major metropolitan centers，municipal governments battle high‐ranking state agencies to secure land rents from redevelopment projects，while residents mobilize to assert property and residential rights.At the urban edge，as metropolitan governments seek to extend control over their rural hinterland through massive‐scale development projects，villagers strategize to profit from the encroaching property market.At the rural fringe，township leaders become brokers of power and property between the state bureaucracy and villages，while large numbers of peasants are dispossessed，dispersed，and deterritorialized，and their mobilizational capacity is consequently undermined.
The Great Urban Transformation explores these issues，and provides an integrated analysis of the city and the countryside，elite politics and grassroots activism，legal‐economic and socio‐political issues of property rights，and the role of the state and the market in the property market.
随着中国社会的变革，全社会、各省、城市之间的关系开始走向前台。为了阐释这些关系，本书调查研究了城市、城市边缘、城乡接合部正在经历的变革。在重要的大都市中心的内城区域，市政府与高级别的省级机构进行着博弈，以确保地租不受重新开发项目的影响，与此同时，城市居民为了保证财产权和居住权也在积极行动。在城郊地区，由于市政府试图通过大规模的开发项目来扩大对于农村偏远地带的控制，村民们采取策略以从不断扩张的房地产中获益。在城乡接合部地区，乡村领导者成为了省级机构与乡村之间权力、财产的经纪人，而大量的农民被剥夺、被驱逐、被解辖域化，他们的积极性也因此减弱。
本书探究了上述这些问题，并对城市与农村、精英政治与基层群众能动性、财产群的法律经济和社会政治问题、房地产市场中省与市场的作用等问题进行了综合性分析。
评论：“Stands as a bold and ground‐breaking attempt to contest popular beliefs and challenge perceived notions.Hsing is to be congratulated for producing such an important milestone on the journey of scholarly enquiries into the gigantic and profound great urban transformation with a scale no less significant than the one masterfully addressed by Polanyi half of century ago.It is a milestone that sets the beginning of a long journey.”
—Annalsof the Association of American Geographer
“本书的观点是对既有的通行看法的大胆、具有开创性的挑战。与半个世纪以前波兰尼对此所做的专业研究的规模相比，本书作者对于意义重大的大都市化的研究丝毫不显逊色，并在这一领域的学术研究中立下了重要的里程碑，这是值得庆贺的。本书是具有深远意义的里程碑。”
——《美国地理学家协会年刊》
“A magisterial study of the territorial competition that ignites this process in core cities like Shanghai，as well as the urban fringes and（most wrenchingly）the rural hinterlands.Reform era decentralization and market restructuring initiated a scramble for authority over profitable redevelopment.Hsing draws on immersive field research‐using colorful vignettes of her personal experiences at the beginning of each empirical chapter‐and a formidable command of reform‐era land laws.”
—Cities
“本书是对像上海这样的核心城市以及城市边缘地带和（非常扭曲的）农村偏远地带之间土地竞争的权威性研究。改革时代的权力下放和市场重组，刺激了对于有利可图的再次开发权的争夺。本书作者作出了非常生动的实地调查——在每一章节前以她个人经历来作丰富多彩的简述——本书也是对改革时代的土地法的呼吁。”
——《城市》
“This book is a masterful piece of scholarship and meaningful analysis.It is a most innovative contribution to the understanding of the transformation of China.It shows how the politics of land development is at the same time the key source of capital accumulation and class formation，and the trigger of social conflicts that may threaten the new Chinese order.Professor Hsing is one of the leading researchers on the study of capitalism in China，and her new book will change our way of thinking about one of the most important processes that are remaking our world.”
—Manuel Castells，University Professor，University of Southern California，Los Angeles
“本书的研究具有极高的学术价值和意义。它对更好地理解中国的社会变革具有革新性的贡献。它展示了土地开发政策如何既是资本积累和阶级形成的关键来源，又是引发社会冲突、威胁新中国秩序的触媒。本书作者是中国资本主义发展研究领域的权威学者，她的新作将会改变我们对于重构世界的最重要的几个过程的思考方式。”

17.《美国的城市形态：一个具有代表性的历史》
American Urban Form：A Representative History（Urban and Industrial Environments）
作者：Sam Bass Warner，Andrew Whittemore
出版社：The MIT Press
出版时间：Auguest 16，2013
作者简介：Sam Bass Warner，noted urban historian and Visiting Professor of Urban History at MIT，is the author of Streetcar Suburbs：The Process of Growth in Boston，1870—1900；The Private City：Philadelphia in Three Periodsof ItsGrowth；TheUrbanWilderness：A History of the American City；To Dwell Is to Garden：A History of Boston’sCommunity Gardens；and other books.
山姆·巴斯·华纳是著名的城市历史学家，麻省理工学院城市历史学科客座教授，其著作有《电车郊区：波士顿成长过程，1870—1900》、《私人城市：费城发展过程中的三个阶段》、《城市荒野：美国城市历史》、《居住即是造园：波士顿的社区花园》和其他书籍。
内容简介：American urban form—the spaces，places，and boundaries that define city life—has been evolving since the first settlements of colonial days.The changing patterns of houses，buildings，streets，parks，pipes and wires，wharves，railroads，highways，and airports reflect changing patterns of the social，political，and economic processes that shape the city.In this book，Sam Bass Warner and Andrew Whittemore map more than three hundred years of the American city through theevolution of urban form.They do this by offering an illustrated history of“the City”—a hypothetical city that exemplifies the American city’s transformation from village to merchant seaport，industrial city，multicentered metropolis，and，finally，regional metropolis that participates in both the local and the global.The book thereby offers a yardstick against which readers can measure the history of their city.
Warner and Whittemore have constructed their hypothetical City from the histories of Boston，Philadelphia，and New York，focusing on commonalities that make up key patterns in American urban development.In an engaging text accompanied by Whittemore’s detailed，meticulous drawings，they chart the City’s changing boundaries，densities，building styles，transportation infrastructures，and population patterns.Planning for the future of cities，they remind us，requires an understanding of the forces that shaped the city’s past；these are the tools of urban change.The city’s protean，ever‐changing nature offers each generation a fresh chance to reform（and re‐form）it.
美国城市形态（即城市生活的空间、区域和界限）自殖民时代伊始就一直处于不断演变之中。房屋、建筑物、街道、公园、水管、电线、码头、铁路、公路、机场形态的变化反映了社会、政治和经济进程的变化，这些变化共同塑造了城市形态。在本书中，山姆·巴斯·华纳和安德鲁·惠特莫尔通过城市形态的演变绘制了美国城市300多年的历史发展地图。本书以图文并茂的形式展示了一个假想的“城市”的历史，充分体现了美国城市的演变过程：从村庄到商业港口、工业城市、多中心大都市，最后成为当地以及全球性的区域性的大都市。本书为读者提供了一个衡量他们所居住城市历史的参照标准。
华纳和惠特莫尔从波士顿、费城、纽约的历史中归纳建构出了他们的假想城市，这种建构是以那些在美国城市发展过程中构成关键模式的共性特征为中心的。惠特莫尔用详尽、细致的图画做支撑，描述文字引人入胜。他们用图表展示出了城市的不断变化的界限、密度、建筑风格、交通基础设施以及人口模式。他们提醒我们，城市的未来规划需要了解形成城市历史的动因，这些因素是城市变革的工具。城市千变万化的特性为每一代人提供了全新的城市改革（和重构）的机会。
评论：“With its rich narrative and outstanding visual representation of urban form changes，this concise book succeeds in making the reader experience the American city through time and understand the forces behind its evolution.The hypothetical city becomes real through engaging and detailed accounts of events，spaces，and social interactions.”
—Anastasia Loukaitou‐Sideris，Professor of Urban Planning，UCLA

“American Urban Form—assaying Boston，New York，and Philadelphia—merits acclaim.Imagining our urban past，present，and future，Sam Bass Warner and Andrew Whittemore frame their lively narrative with twenty‐first century sensibilities as they plumb the near and more distant past.Assembling chronologically organized big‐picture views，the co‐authors explain the shaping forces which created assorted urban forms.This superb book，to its credit，features Whittemore’s hand‐crafted and sumptuously detailed urban landscapes，best thought of as a luminous historical exhibition.A wide range of readers—architects，artists，planners，historians，journalists，lawyers，mayors，legislators，policy makers，and general readers—surely will learn much from this book.”
—Michael H.Ebner，Lake Forest College
“本书分析了波士顿、纽约、费城等，获得一致好评。通过想象我们的城市的过去、现在和未来，山姆·巴斯·沃纳和安德鲁·惠特莫尔在探究近代史以及更加遥远的过去时，以21世纪的历史敏感性进行关照，其文字叙述风格生动活泼。通过整合按时间顺序排列的大局性观点，两位作者阐释了城市各类形态的塑造力量。本书值得称赞，其特色在于惠特莫尔的文笔熟练而华丽，对城市景观进行了详细的描述，是辉煌灿烂的历史展览。广大读者（建筑师、艺术家、规划师、历史学家、记者、律师、市长、立法者、决策者和普通读者）定会从这本书中获益良多。”
——迈克尔·H.埃布，森林湖学院
“This book represents a fresh approach to a perennial problem—arguably the perennial problem—in urban history.It will surely be，as the authors intend，a very useful and enlightening book for planners and design professionals seeking to learn from a single volume the most important elements of American urban history.The range of detailed，accurate，and insightful knowledge the authors display from the colonial city to the present is simply astonishing.And I believe the book will generate much useful comment and debate among urban historians about how to conceptualize and to present our field.”
—Robert L.Fishman，Professor of Architecture and Urban Planning，Taubman College，University of Michigan
“本书呈现了在城市历史领域一个长久存在问题的新视角。正如作者所愿，这本书对于那些试图从一本书中了解到尽可能多的美国城市历史中最重要元素的规划者和职业设计者来说，一定是非常有用且具有启发性。本书作者有着详尽、准确、深刻的知识面，并在书中展示了从殖民城市到当下的发展历史，这真的是非常惊人的。同时，我相信这本书将在城市历史学家中就如何概念化并展现我们的领域引发许多有益的意见和争论。”

内容简介：War and revolution have focused the world’s attention on the Middle East.Despite the headlines，the editors of this book state，“the economic，political，and cultural aspects of urban life in the Muslim world are hardly known to us.”Contributors to this volume explore urban problems，urban development，and the practice of urban planning in the Muslim world.
In both comprehensive analyses and detailed case studies，the contributors address the basic dilemma of development planning：how to integrate the force of tradition with the demands of modernity.
Also covered are the comparative development of Sana’a and Cairo；the influence of oil on urbanization in the Persian Gulf；urban growth in Syria；and an overview of urban planning in the Arab world.This compendium is essential for specialists and students of the region，for international planning and development practitioners，and for those seeking insight into the complexities of this important but arguably least understood region of the world.
全世界对于中东的关注点集中于战争和革命问题。尽管标题是“穆斯林世界的城市发展”，但本书编辑者声明：“在穆斯林世界中，城市生活的经济、政治、文化影响几乎不为我们所知。”本册图书的投稿者探索了穆斯林世界的城市问题、城市发展和城市规划实践。
在全面的分析和详细的案例研究中，投稿者们探讨了如何解决发展规划的基本困境：如何整合传统力量与现代性诉求。
本书涉及的内容还包括：萨那和开罗的比较性发展；石油对波斯湾地区城市化的影响；叙利亚的城市发展；以及对阿拉伯世界城市规划的概述。这篇概要对于研究该地区的专家和学生、国际性规划发展从业者，以及那些渴望了解世界上这块重要但却知之甚少的区域的人们来说，是必不可少的。
评论：“Included are three general articles plus case studies on Mecca，Tehran，Sanca，Cairo，North Africa，Syria，and the Persian Gulf written by academics，most of whom have practical experience dealing with urban problems.Many of the authors examine the crises engulfing Muslim societies，as demonstrated in cities，and with the disjunctures and discontinuities between premodern and modern times.They focus in part on the role of state intervention in urban planning.Some authors specifically consider the issue of Islam and its influence on the development of cities and on urban change.Several raise questions about what is particularly‘Islamic’about cities in the Muslim world.Each chapter contains its own references，and many contain tables and discussions of statistics.Recommended.”
—L.Beck，Choice
“本书内容包括三篇总括性文章以及学者们对于麦加、德黑兰、桑卡、开罗、北非、叙利亚和波斯湾的个案研究，这些学者大部分都有处理城市问题的实践经验，其中有许多人考察了体现在城市中的、席卷穆斯林社会的危机，以及近代和现代之间的脱节和不连续性。他们的关注点一部分集中于国家干预在城市规划中的作用。一些作者特别考虑到伊斯兰教及其对城市发展和城市变化的影响问题。还有一些作者就穆斯林世界中城市最‘伊斯兰’的特色是什么提出了疑问。每一章都具有参考价值，而且很多章节还有表格和数据讨论。本书值得推荐。”
——L.贝克，《选择》
“The history of urban development and planning in the Muslim world is the subject of this very informative book.For those who were interested in learning about the urbanization process in developing countries in general and in the Muslim countries in particular，this book presents a good opportunity.The book takes a historical perspective on the impacts of Islam on the spatial structure and architectural design of some cities，and it also discusses the transformation of Islamic cities as a result of Western influences.It emphasizes the challenge that faces urban and regional planners in the Muslim world，who cope with both the modernization and continuous growth of some large cities and the preservation of the Islamic fabric of those cities.”
—Hesham M.Abdel‐Rahman，Journal of Regional Science
“这本书信息量非常丰富，其主题为穆斯林世界的城市发展和规划历史。对于那些有兴趣了解广大发展中国家，特别是穆斯林国家的城市化进程的人来说，这本书提供了一个很好的机会。本书以历史性视角来考察伊斯兰教对于一些城市的空间结构和建筑设计的影响，同时还讨论了西方世界影响下伊斯兰城市的转型。它强调了穆斯林世界中城市和区域规划者面临的挑战，这些规划者既要应对一些大城市的现代化及持续性增长，又要保持这些城市的伊斯兰特色。”
——赫山·M.阿卜杜勒—拉赫曼，《区域科学期刊》
“Along with the highly publicized regional conflicts and national turmoil in the Muslim world，a quiet but equally important spatio‐demographic process is also in progress.To make sense of the former requires a better understanding of the latter.This book focuses on the historical and contemporary aspects of population，urbanization，and urban planning in selected countries of Asia and North Africa..The individual chapters are fine examples of scholarly work on urban development and urban planning during the 1980s by authors who represent planning，geography，sociology，architecture，and Middle Eastern and Islamic studies..The book is a welcome addition to the few publications on the dynamics of urban growth and development in the region.Urban Development would be worthwhile as a readily accessible supplementary text in urban geography，sociology，history，and planning courses focusing on the Third or Muslim worlds.”
—Mohammad Hemmasi，Professional Geographer
“在穆斯林世界被广为宣传的地区冲突和国家动荡的同时，重要空间人口增长过程也正在进行。要搞清楚前者的意义，需要对后者有更深刻的理解。这本书侧重于所选取的亚洲和北非国家的人口、城市化和城市规划的历史性和当代性影响……各个章节都是20世纪80年代规划学、地理学、社会学、建筑学、中东以及伊斯兰研究领域中的代表性作者的学术研究的极佳范例……这本书是对为数不多的关于该地区的城市增长及发展动力的出版物的一个补充，这是喜闻乐见的。本书将会成为一个非常有益的、易获得的关于以第三世界或穆斯林世界为中心的城市地理学、社会学、历史学、规划学课程的补充性文本。”
——穆罕默德·和马斯，《地理学家》
