In Building and Dwelling, Richard Sennett distils a lifetime's thinking and practical experience to explore the relationship between the good built environment and the good life. He argues for, and describes in rich detail, the idea of an open city, one in which people learn to manage complexity. He shows how the design of cities can enrich or diminish the everyday experience of those who dwell in them.
The book ranges widely - from London, Paris and Barcelona to Shanghai, Mumbai and Medellin in Colombia - and draws on classic thinkers such as Tocqueville, Heidegger, Max Weber, and Walter Benjamin. It also draws on Sennett's many decades as a practical planner himself, testing what works, what doesn't, and why. He shows what works ethically is often the most practical solution for cities' problems.
This is a humane and thrilling book, which allows us to think freshly about how we live in cities. The experience and wisdom of the author are visible on every page. His voice is distinctive and engaging. It should attract anyone interested in the physical circumstances of civilization.

Richard Sennett's previous books include The Fall of Public Man, Flesh and Stone and Respect, as well as two previous volumes in his Homo Faber trilogy, The Craftsman and Together. For decades he has advised urban programmes for the United Nations, and has also worked as a planner for poor communities; he now teaches urban studies at the London School of Economics and at Harvard University. He has been awarded the Hegel and Spinoza prizes, as well as an honorary doctorate by Cambridge University. His private passions are playing the cello, fairly well, and cooking, fairly badly.
The smart city would become ever more complex in form, Its citee ever richer in meanings.
In one way this technological fantasy was nothing new. Aristotle wrote in the Politics that
'a city is composed of different kinds of men; similar people cannot bring a city into existence'
People are stronger together than apart; thus in wartime, Athens sheltered a diverse range of tribes who fled the countryside; it also took in exiles who then remained in the city. Though their status was ever unresolved and ambiguous, these refugees brought new ways of thinking and new crafts to the city. Aristotle was also thinking about the virtues of complexity in politics; in a diverse milieu, men (in Aristotle'stime, only men)are obliged to understand different points of view inorder to govern the city...

At MIT, I had occasion to see Stadtluft macht frei takeamong a group of young architects from Shanghai. Their home citvepitomizes the urban explosion occurring throughout the develeping world today, a place expanding economically at a headlong rat, drawing young people from all over China into its orbit. Although my band of Shanghainese went home to their vilages or small townseach New Year, in the city they lett their local outlooks and habitsbehind. Some of the young male architects came out as gay; youngfemale architects delayed or refused to have a child-both sexes causing grief to those at home. When I introduced my charges to Stadtitmacht frei, they translated the phrase into Mandarin as ' wearing deferent hats.
The superficial words convey a deep truth, that when life is open, it ... (查看原文)
