现代城市以“超级细胞”的形式出现,封闭的工业系统是商品和服务的热点
Modern cities emerge as 'super-cells' where enclosed industrial systems are hotspots of goods and services
摘要:
流行的假说认为城市是“超级有机体”,既为城市提供了组织原则,又填补了生态系统和整个地球之间的等级生活系统的标量差距。然而,大多数生物体和城市特征之间的类比都是不恰当的,使得超有机体模型作为获取新知识的手段不切实际。通过对城市和其他生命系统的15个特征进行聚类分析,我们发现现代城市更类似于真核细胞,而不是多细胞生物。封闭的工业系统,如工厂和温室,主导着现代城市,类似于细胞器,作为提供高通量商品和服务的热点。因此,我们提出了一个“超细胞城市模型”比超有机体模型更合适。除了理论意义外,我们的模型还将封闭工业系统视为提高城市活力和可持续性的功能组件。
英文摘要:
Prevailing hypotheses recognize cities as 'super-organisms' which both provides organizing principles for cities and fills the scalar gap in the hierarchical living system between ecosystems and the entire planet. However, most analogies between the traits of organisms and cities are inappropriate making the super-organism model impractical as a means to acquire new knowledge. Using a cluster analysis of 15 traits of cities and other living systems, we found that modern cities are more similar to eukaryotic cells than to multicellular organisms. Enclosed industrial systems, such as factories and greenhouses, dominate modern cities and are analogous to organelles as hotspots that provide high-flux goods and services. Therefore, we propose a 'super-cell city model' as more appropriate than the super-organism model. In addition to the theoretical significance, our model also recognizes enclosed industrial systems as functional components that improve the vitality and sustainability of cities.
