试论休闲对于城市发展的文化意义

On the Cultural Significance of Leisure for Urban Development

休闲文化就是使人回归人的本性、使人成为人的休闲活动及其要素的总和,它具有三重结构和三种基本特征。休闲文化包含的主要内容有:恰当的休闲观念,普遍认同的休闲价值,自觉遵循的生活方式和政府决策的休闲导向。休闲文化对城市发展的价值与意义,既表现在对城市的物质形态的影响上,更深刻地体现在城市的精神层面上。休闲文化最基本的价值在于它能改变城市形象,让城市更宜居,使城市更具创新活力,并提升生活品质和城市境界。如果说休闲的经济价值是休闲城市发展的外驱力和催化剂,那么,休闲的文化价值就是城市发展的原动力和DNA。

Leisure culture is the sum of leisure activities and elements which enable people to return to human nature and state of being human. It embraces triple structures and three basic features. The main contents of leisure culture are proper leisure concepts, generally accepted leisure values, consciously followed lifestyles and government-oriented leisure trends. The value and significance of leisure culture for urban development lie not only in its influence on the physical forms, but also the spirits of a city. The core value is that it enables the improvement of the city image, and makes the city more habitable, innovative and lively, so that the quality of life is upgraded. If the economic value of leisure is to provide an exterior driving force and catalyst for urban development, then its cultural value is to provide the interior driving force and DNA for urban development.
