摘要

过去和现在的城市主义在学术界和媒体中仍然存在激烈的争论。在过去的几年里,我们可以想到一系列成功实施的项目:例如,哥本哈根城市中心项目;晚期古代城市的接待ERC项目(英国剑桥);正在进行的城市网络项目(丹麦阿哈鲁斯);社会反应堆项目(美国科罗拉多州)。现在荷兰大学OIKOS网络也可以加入其中,如果这还不够,卫报最近在英国媒体上推出了一系列“卫报城市”。然而,诸如“什么是古城?”什么时候我们可以说一个有核的定居点已经变成了一个城市?为什么一个城市有时会胜过其他城市,而最终又会衰落?”仍然是一个广泛开放和激烈争论的问题,特别是关于意大利中部,特别是罗马,还没有得到一个明确的答案。罗马的长期发展轨迹是众所周知的,从史前和早期历史时期拉丁维图斯的早期霸权,到共和时期意大利的新兴力量,最后在公元前四世纪最终崩溃之前的几个世纪里,罗马统治了整个帝国。然而,这条由“一个略显破旧的铁器时代村庄”变成“地中海无可争议的霸主”的轨迹,其促成因素和决定因素仍然备受质疑。在这篇社论中,我将通过介绍当前关于古城的争论来讨论城市化/城市化的特征,并参考剑桥大学出版社最近出版的Arjan Zuiderhoek2的书,该书对以前的方法进行了广泛的总结和讨论。然后,我将讨论这一特殊研究课题的贡献,并指出进一步可能的争论点。早在青铜时代,更常见的是铁器时代的到来,在近东、欧洲以及美洲,许多地区就已经组织成独立的小政治单位,通常被定义为城邦。自18644年富斯特尔·德·库朗热的经典著作《古物》出版以来,关于古物的特征和起源的争论不断

Editorial: Where Do Cities Come From and Where Are They Going To? Modelling Past and Present Agglomerations to Understand Urban Ways of Life
Urbanism in the past and present remains hotly debated in academia and the media. We can think of a series of successfully conducted projects in the last few years: for example, the Copenhagen Polis Centre project; the Reception of the City in Late Antiquity ERC project (Cambridge, UK); the ongoing UrbNet project (Aharus, Denmark); the Social Reactors Project (Colorado USA). To these now the Dutch Universities OIKOS network can also be added, and if this was not enough the Guardian has recently launched a series “Guardian Cities” in the UK media. Yet fundamental questions such as “What is an ancient city? when can we say that a nucleated settlement has become a city? Why sometime a city prevails over others and why eventually it declines?”; are still widely open and lively debated question, that have not received a definitive answer yet especially with reference to central Italy, and Rome in particular. The long-term trajectory of Rome is quite well-known and established from the early supremacy within Latium vetus in pre-historic and early historic times, to the emerging power in Italy, during the Republican period, and finally the dominance over the Empire, in the first few centuries of our Era before the final collapse around the end of the fourth century AD. However, the contributory factors and the determinants of this trajectory, which took “a slightly shabby Iron Age village” to become the “undisputed hegemon of the Mediterranean” are still very much questioned1. In this editorial I will discuss features of urbanism/urbanization by presenting the current debate on the ancient city, also with reference to the recent Cambridge University Press book by Arjan Zuiderhoek2, which summarizes and discusses extensively previous approaches. Then I will discuss the contribution of this special Research Topic and I will indicate further possible points of debate. Already in the Bronze Age, but more commonly with the advent of the Iron Age, in the Near East, in Europe but also in the Americas, many regions become organized in small independent political units, generally defined as city-states3. Since the classic work by Fustel de Coulanges, La Cité Antique, published in 18644, the debate on the characteristics and the origin of the ancient
