城市是典型的复杂适应系统,面临着无数的干扰,其中大多数是不可预见和不可预测的。城市设计原则越来越受到异质性、非线性、层次性和多重稳定状态的生态思想的影响。生态复原力已成为理解和管理社会生态系统(包括城市设计)的主要方法。这一理论表明,要设计可持续发展的城市,我们的重点应该是创造和保持城市的韧性-城市在不改变其基本结构,功能和身份的情况下持续存在的能力。一个真正有弹性的城市的基础不是它看起来有多稳定,而是它是否能承受一场无法预见的冲击,这场冲击将从根本上改变或抹去城市的身份。为了使城市可持续发展,城市设计必须明确考虑到现在和未来内部和外部变化的影响。
Cities are prototypical complex adaptive systems that are faced with a myriad of disturbances, most of which are unforeseen and unpredictable. Urban design principles are increasingly influenced by ecological ideas of heterogeneity, non-linearity, hierarchy, and multiple stable states. Ecological resilience has emerged as a major approach to understanding and managing social-ecological systems, including urban design. This theory suggests that, to design sustainable cities, our emphasis should be on creating and maintaining urban resilience – the ability of a city to persist without changing its basic structure, function, and identity. What underlies a truly resilient city is not how stable it has appeared, but whether it can withstand an unforeseen shock that would fundamentally alter or erase the city’s identity. For cities to be sustainable, urban design must explicitly account for the influence of both internal and external changes now and in the future.
