“孟子见梁惠王”与城市规划

MENCIUS AND CITY PLANNING

孟子的“民为贵”思想里的养民之策有很多地方是与土地和土地利用有关的 ,也牵涉到城市与其腹地的关系 ,可与西方的“生态足印”概念同时用来研究城市的合理规模、结构和体制。

Mencius'idea of good governance has many connections to land and land use,especially to a city's relationship to its hinterland.It can be combined with the western concept of 'Ecological footprint' to explore lssues about city sizes,Structures,and urban Hierarchies.
