Jane Jacob’s The Life and Death of American Cities

In order to understand the attitude and context of the social design function of society, history is considered a necessary condition, and by evaluating these values, it is possible to create a space for possibility and change I will. In the city of Jane Jacobs' American death and life, she emphasized the new urbanism movement and weakened the urban planning practice that played an important role in today's urban planning where environmentalism emerged It was. At the same time, since the awareness of environmental conservation is increasing in the 1960s, bicycles are the objective opposed to automobile-centered society as an environmentally friendly alternative.

But in Jane Jacobs' Death and Life of the American Metropolis "(Randen House, 1961), Halberg found the basic principles of his novel (probably a successful novel). First of all, he said, "It must be concrete," citing the importance of detail, opinion and background. Cities are 'concrete forms of reasoning'. Secondly, it must diversify. "It is dangerous to treat diversity as decorative ... this is necessary," Mr. Harburg says. "The more you can make the scene, the character, the sentence different, the more the number of novels will increase and flexibility will increase." The novel must also connect the whole through "patterning, unification of the whole" not. Finally, like other cities, it has to change. "When we talk about a novel with a sense of life, we are actually talking about it with the sense of control, the sense of motivation and change about it, or we do not think we will read the first page of the past I will. "
