从智利首都圣地亚哥参加国际地理联合会归来,我就尝试着从文化地理学的视角来解读这座城市。文化地理学家关注何处会出现何种文化,就像经济地理学家关注何种会出现何种经济活动一样。若要了解圣地亚哥的文化地理,广场是最好的地点。广场是户外开敞的空间,观察者容易进入;广场还是公共的空间,观察者在这里可以看到各色人等。圣地亚哥面积不大,但是广场不少,这是因为智利的城市建设深受欧洲文化的熏染。
Returning from the Chilean capital Santiago to attend the International Geographical Union, I try to interpret the city from the perspective of cultural geography. Cultural geographers are concerned about where culture is going to emerge, just as economic geographers are concerned about what kinds of economic activity may occur. To learn about the cultural geography of San Diego, the plaza is the best place to go. Square is open space for outdoor, easy access to the observer; square or public space, where observers can see all kinds of people. San Diego is not large in size, but there are a lot of squares because the urban construction in Chile is deeply influenced by European culture.
