摘要: 中国的城市化规模和城市密度在世界历史上都是前所未有的。典型的单中心城市的格局已经发生很大的改变。在中国的部分区域，如长三角地区，新的城市形态也已出现，对现有的规划方式提出挑战，规划师需要寻找新的规划语言，也需要换一种新的思考方式来思考城市。“后城市化”和“城市超级有机体”正是描述了上述城市现象的两个关键词，即从现有的城市化方式过渡到新的方式。提出未来规划将做出的若干改变，应对即将到来的新型城镇化。未来20年，中国将有3亿农民转型为新城镇人口，并且可以预见的是，他们其中的相当一部分将需要长三角地区吸纳，而上海首当其冲。
Abstract: The scale and density of China’s urbanization are unprecedented in the history of the world. The “classical” single-centered city is no more. Instead, in some parts of the country, such as the Yangtze Delta, new urban formations have emerged, which challenge the way planning is being done and which require a new language and way of thinking about cities. The term “post-urban” in the title refers to the present transition from one kind of urbanism to this new form, which I call “urban super-organism.” After some discussion of its characteristics, I address the several ways that planning practices may have to change in order to cope successfully with the coming 300 million peasant farmers who will have to be absorbed into urban life within the next 20 years. Many of these new urbanites will be settled in the Yangtze Delta area, with Shanghai in the lead.
