Li Shiqiao, Weedon Professor in Asian Architecture, School of Architecture, University of Virginia, where he teaches and researches into emerging issues in contemporary Chinese cities.
This book teaches us to read the contemporary Chinese city. Li Shiqiao deftly crafts a new theory of the Chinese city and the dynamics of urbanization by examining how the Chinese city has been shaped by the figuration of the writing system analyzing the continuing importance of the family and its barriers of protection against real and imagined dangers exploring the meanings of labour, and the resultant numerical and financial hierarchies demonstrating how actual structures bring into visual being the conceptions of numerical distributions, safety networks, and aesthetic orders.
Understanding the Chinese City elegantly traces a thread between ancient Chinese city formations and current urban organizations, revealing hidden continuities that show how instrumental the past has been in forming the present. It contextualizes Chinese urban experiences in relation to familiar intellectual landmarks. Rather than becoming obstacles to change, ancient practices have become effective strategies of adaptation under radically new terms.

瀏覽。一個疑問,所謂的’the Chinese city’真的存在嗎?
評分所以…天朝一切自我扭麯的根源就是我們輸瞭——但假如我們贏瞭呢?今天的人們就會說,古希臘的奧林匹剋熱愛裸體果然野蠻,偉大的中國文明就不提倡這麼做。然而現在我們所麵臨的事實是:小區蓋圍牆是封閉,在餐廳喧嘩是素質低,連葬禮上的嗩呐都被看作落後。反正我們喜歡的事情都是錯的,因為勝利者的標準纔是對的。
