也谈城市街区──读C.莫丁《城市设计: 绿色尺度》有感

DISCUSSION ON URBAN STREET BLOCKS, READING C. MOUGHTIN'S URBAN DESIGN: GREEN DIMENSION

城市街区是城市发展的基本单元，也是保证城市可持续发展的基本要素。C.莫丁在《城市设计──绿色尺度》一书中以欧洲传统的城市街区为例，从街区功能、规模、形态等角度出发，探讨如何创造充满活力的街区以保证城市的可持续发展。

An urban street block is one of the primary elements of a city. And the degree to which a city is sustainable is affected both by the form of urban street blocks and also by the composition of activities it accommodates. In the book, Urban Design: Green Pimensions, C.Moughtin discusses the function, size, and form of urban street blocks by comparing with some examples of traditional urban street blocks in Europe.
