  The uses of sidewalks: safety

  米老狐 (人皆是孤岛)

  “Streets and their sidewalks, the main public spaces of a city, are its most vital organs. Think of a city and what comes to mind? Its streets. If a city's streets look interesting, the city looks interesting; if they look dull, the city looks dull.” 街道和人行道是城市的主要公共空间以及最重要的组成部分。 “...cities are, by definition, full of strangers. To any one person, strangers are far ... (更多)

  “Streets and their sidewalks, the main public spaces of a city, are its most vital organs. Think of a city and what comes to mind? Its streets. If a city's streets look interesting, the city looks interesting; if they look dull, the city looks dull.”

  街道和人行道是城市的主要公共空间以及最重要的组成部分。

  “...cities are, by definition, full of strangers. To any one person, strangers are far more common in big cities than acquaintances.

  The bed rock attribute of a successful city district is that a person must feel personally safe and secure on the street among all these strangers.”

  城市充满陌生人，一个成功的城市街区的最重要因素就是人在街道上身处许多陌生人之中仍感到安全。

  "The first thing to understand is that the public peace--the sidewalk and street peace--of cities is not kept primarily by the police, necessary as police are. It is kept primarily by an intricate, almost unconscious network of voluntary controls and standards among the people themselves, and enforced by people themselves."

  城市公共区域的安宁不是主要由警察来维持的，虽然警察也很有必要，主要是由自发形成的复杂的网络来维持。

  "Some city streets afford no opportunity to street barbarism."

  有些城市的街道不给野蛮提供任何机会。举例：the North End of Boston

  "A well-used city street is apt to be a safe.street. A deserted city street is apt to be unsafe."

  经常被使用的街道安全，冷清的不安全。

  "A city street equipped to handle strangers, and to make a safety asset, in itself, out of the presence of strangers, as the streets of successful city neighborhoods always do, must have three main qualities:

  First, there must be clear demarcation between what is public space and what is private space....

  Second, there must be eyes upon the street, eyes belonging to those we might call the natural proprietors of the street....

  And third, the sidewalk must have users on it fairly continuously, both to add to the number of effective eyes on the street and to induce the people in buildings along the street to watch the sidewalks in sufficient numbers...."

  成功街区的三个条件：公共区域与私人区域界限分明，有一些眼睛盯着街道（天然的居住者），人行道上总有行人。 (收起)
