Abstract

This chapter talks about the importance of location in human affairs. Naturally the quality of a dwelling has direct implications for the health, comfort, security, and well-being of the people who inhabit it, and matching the attributes of housing with the needs and resources of families has long been a principal reason for residential mobility in the United States. When people purchase or rent a home, however, they not only buy into a particular dwelling and its amenities but also into a surrounding neighborhood and its qualities, for good or for ill. In contemporary urban society, opportunities and resources tend to be distributed unevenly in space, and in the United States spatial inequalities have widened substantially in recent decades. Where one lives is probably more important now than ever in determining one's life chances. In selecting a place to live, a family does much more than simply choose a dwelling to inhabit; it also selects a neighborhood to occupy.
位置的立方
这一章讲的是位置在人类事务中的重要性。自然,住宅的质量直接关系到居住者的健康、舒适、安全和幸福。长期以来,使住房的属性与家庭的需求和资源相匹配一直是美国住宅流动性的主要原因。然而,当人们购买或租赁房屋时,他们不仅购买了某一特定的住宅及其设施,而且还购买了周围的社区及其品质,无论是好是坏。在当代城市社会中,机会和资源往往在空间上分布不均,近几十年来,美国的空间不平等现象大幅扩大。在决定一个人的生活机会方面,现在可能比以往任何时候都更重要。在选择居住地时,一个家庭所做的不仅仅是选择一个住所;它还会选择一个社区来占领。
