城市的精神2：包容与认同
(add) Bell Danning (to) Avner
After the world-renowned political scientists Bell Danning and Avner successfully co-authored the book "The Spirit of the City: How Can Cities Arrange Us in the Era of Globalization", in order to show the historical, cultural and spiritual core of more cities around the world, they teamed up with fifteen well-known scholars and media professionals around the world to conduct in-depth research on the history, humanities and current situation of the cities where they often live or frequent, and wrote "The Spirit of the City 2: Tolerance and Identity". The fourteen cities selected include Shanghai, Qufu, Qingdao, and Chengdu in China, as well as world cities with global connections and great ambitions such as Tokyo, Mumbai, Dubai, etc., As well as some characteristic small cities such as Aix-en-Provence. These cities vary in size, but each has its own unique identity. \U003Cbr\u003E In "The Spirit of the City 2: Tolerance and Identity", the scholars based their personal experiences on a large amount of reading materials, and used the impressions obtained by "walking in the city" and interviews and discussions with local residents as creative materials, trying to paint a more comprehensive picture of the city's characteristics. A large amount of historical and cultural knowledge and "here and now" on-site experiences are expressed in easy-to-understand terms, which are resonant and thought-provoking. \U003Cbr\u003E "The Spirit of the City 2: Tolerance and Identity" has a more diversified thinking on the topic of "the spirit of the city". The controversies and reflections in the book also reveal that in the process of discovering and shaping the spirit of the city, identity is complicated and tolerance is needed. It takes time to shape the spirit of a city, such as the construction of the city of Rome. It cannot be built in a day, nor can it be achieved by one person. It needs to get rid of some shackles of reality, break through the limitations of localism of "identity", and work with an inclusive attitude to make the city an open space that is livable for people.
