城市是资本和文化聚集的空间载体,供养并服务着背景多元、需求迥异的广大市民.因此,城市需要那些可以包容并鼓励多样化的表达和呈现方式——无论是计划性的还是自发性的、受管控的还是不受管控的、永久的还是暂时的——的空间类型.本文认为,留白是一种可以满足这些公众需求的空间品质,而城市虚空即是一种典型的留白空间.“虚空”一词意味着这些空间并不具备与城市(即资本积累的载体)相关的那些价值.但是,这种(资本意义上、房地产意义上的、功效意义上的或生产意义上的)留白恰恰是催生其他场所特性和机会的原因.换句话说,价值上的缺乏是这些闲置空间显得边缘化的原因,而这种边缘性恰恰赋予了城市虚空其他城市空间所没有的公共性的可能.尽管城市虚空为市民创造了许多社交机会,但留白的消逝也暴露了城市虚空的局限性.“,”Cities are spatial aggregations of capital and culture that host and serve a vast array of different and often contradictory publics. For this reason, cities need spaces that accept and encourage multiple types of representations and forms of expression: planned and spontaneous, regulated and unregulated, permanent and temporary. This essay argues that emptiness is a spatial quality that can satisfy these needs and that urban voids are a paradigmatic example of empty spaces.The term “void” implies that these spaces are emptied of the value typically associated with cities as places of capital accumulation. But this emptiness (of capital, real estate value, efficacy, or production) is what enables other sensibilities and opportunities to emerge. In other words, a lack of value is what makes these vacant spaces appear as marginal, and this marginality is precisely what gives the urban voids the possibilities for publicness that other urban spaces do not have.Despite the social opportunities offered by urban voids, the evanescence of emptiness ultimately exposes the limits of urban voids.
