摘要
美国包含有两大山脉:分别是东部的阿帕拉契山脉和西部的科迪勒拉山系的大落基山脉部分。与矿物或者煤炭开采相关的小型城镇曾经遍布于每一条山脉的不同区域之中。由于世界对于铜矿和煤炭需求量显著降低,居民离开了这些城镇,其经济活力也逐渐崩溃。被遗留下来的是一些美国最独特的城镇形式,其巧妙适应地形和交通网络的方式值得详细研究。
The United States contains two mountain ranges： the Appalachians in the east and the great Rocky Mountain cordilera in the west. Smal towns associated with mineral or coal extraction once populated distinctive regions of each range. As world demand for copper and coal dramaticaly decreased, the populations of these towns moved away and the towns’ economic vitality slowly colapsed. Left behind are some of the most unique urban forms in America worthy of detailed study for their beautiful adaption to topography and transportation networks.
