摘要

So much of what Americans have written about their suburbs-and they have written a lot-has been parochial. For that reason Lawrence Herzog's Global Suburbs is to be welcomed. Embracing the Americas, Herzog explores what he regards, essentially, as the diffusion of U.S.-style suburbs southwards. Indeed, as the title suggests, he believes that his account of "the global suburb in the western hemisphere" typifies a still-broadertrend. He is careful to limit the scope of his survey. Readers of this journal know that "suburb" is a slippery term. Many people speak of "global suburbanization" as a process that involves various types of urban fringe development, including squatter settlements, pirate subdivisions, and for that matter malls, airports, freight yards, and industrial districts. Herzog notes in passing that a great deal of peripheral development around Latin American cities has taken an informal character and that this has attracted a good deal of attention. But his focus is narrower. He draws our attention to the particular type of place that North Americans usually think of as suburban and that the Economist had in mind very recently when it surveyed (and celebrated) global suburbanization: the planned and formally developed subdivision. His point is that this sort of place is regrettably more widespread than we might suppose.
