包括中国在内的发展中国家正在建设的大规模新城项目经常因缺乏城市多样性而受到批评。这是因为这些地区没有表现出城市多样性通常所具有的特征，例如开发时间较长的地区、渐进变化的地区以及城市街区较小的地区。然而，两个方面的挑战，简单的结论，即新城是物理和社会单调的住房供应系统在中国的多样化和快速的内部迁移。在此背景下，本研究测量了四个研究区的住房和社会多样性在松江，上海远郊，使用熵指数来说明一个更复杂的理解，在哪里和如何发生的多样性。结果显示，较老的增量开发地区是多样化的，但更有趣的是，新的综合开发地区也是多样化的，因为建筑类型和房价范围很广。研究发现，在其他领域，住房和社会多样性之间存在着不同的趋势。最后，研究报告强调了城市多样性的不同背景及其在制定适当的城市设计措施方面的重要性，这些措施鼓励多样性的积极方面，如城市活力和公平。(C)2017爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有
Large-scale New Town projects being built in the developing world, including China, are often criticized for its lack of urban diversity. This is because these areas do not display the characteristics where urban diversity is normally found such as areas that are developed over longer periods of time, places of incremental change, and areas with small urban blocks. However, two aspects challenge the simplistic conclusion that New Towns are physically and socially monotonous: the diversification of the housing provision system in China; and rapid internal migration. Against this background, this study measures the housing and social diversity of four study areas in Songjiang, an outer suburb of Shanghai, using the entropy index to illustrate a more complicated understanding of where and how diversity occurs. The results showed that older, incrementally developed areas were diverse, but more interestingly, new comprehensively developed areas were also diverse through variations in building types and a wide housing price range. The study found disparate tendencies between housing and social diversity in other areas. In conclusion, the study highlighted the different contexts of urban diversity and its importance in drawing appropriate urban design measures which encourage the positive aspects of diversity such as urban vitality and equity.
