Abstract

ABSTRACT In this article, I introduce the idea of “the visible city,” which foregrounds the central role played by the urban built environment in cities’ quest for recognition. In the visible city, the urban built environment becomes a medium of communication and a form of currency in its own right for the acquisition of symbolic capital. I specifically discuss two concepts that underpin my understanding of the visible city, namely distinction and aesthetics. Overall, I highlight the relationship between these two widely used concepts to ask questions about the relationship between visual-material communication and urban transformation.

可见的城市

在这篇文章中，我介绍了“可见城市”的概念，它突出了城市建筑环境在城市寻求认可中所起的核心作用。在可见的城市中，城市建筑环境成为一种交流的媒介，也是一种获得象征性资本的货币形式。我特别讨论了支撑我对可见城市理解的两个概念，即区别和美学。总的来说，我强调这两个被广泛使用的概念之间的关系，并提出关于视觉材料传播与城市转型之间关系的问题。
