内容简介

This book investigates what the history of Hong Kong’s urban development has to teach other cities as they face environmental challenges, social and demographic change and the need for new models of dense urbanism.

The authors describe how the high-rise intensity of Hong Kong came about; how the forest of towers are in fact vertical culs de sac; and how the city might become truly ‘volumetric’ with mixed activities through multiple levels and 3D movement networks incorporating ‘town cubes’ rather than town squares.

断断续续读了大半个月，由果溯因的写法，作者用很大篇幅称赞香港垂直、高密度和多层次的城建模式，相比传统的城市来说资源利用率高，更具有环境友好性，公共设施和绿化对居民来说更加垂手可得。重庆的话密度够，但公共交通系统跟不上，城区也不够核心所以到处都挺堵的，想到第一次去五棵松的时候，觉得北京矮而宽敞的建筑简直是在炫耀性的浪费。香港的开局不是好牌，山海限制，多元文化，人地矛盾，政府的力量也有限，但是还是在有…
