在台灣現今資本主義生產關係中，「建制建築」的生產 由於城市環境的建造日益商品化、專業者環境觀點日益形式化，使得設計 者（規劃者）與使用者的距離日益遙遠。由於這種規劃者／建築師與城市 使用者（社區）在城市觀點與生產關係上的遙遠距離，使得我們城市空間 生產日益脫離與日常生活、社會文化意義結合的使用價值，而轉為房地產 交換價值所支配（這點已故的美國城市規劃師Kevin Lynch在他的著作中時 有批評），甚至造成了城市生活空間品質低落和生態環境破壞等嚴重問 題。

Site Planning, Third Edition
By Kevin Lynch and Gary Hack
Overview
This new edition of Kevin Lynch's widely used introductory textbook has been completely revised; and is also enriched by the experience of Lynch's coauthor, Gary Hack. For over two decades, Site Planning has remained the only comprehensive source of information on all the principal—activities and concerns of arranging the outdoor physical environment. Now, new illustrations double the visual material and one hundred pages of new appendixes cover special techniques, provide references to more detailed technical sources, and put numerical standards in a concise form.
An introduction summarizes the site planning process. This is followed by a case study of a typical professional project and ten chapters which provide new materials on user analysis, programming, site planning for built places, housing tenures and their planning implications, cost estimating, mapping, the reading of air photographs, site design for housing in developing countries, design strategies, environmental impact analyses, and many others—all illustrated with in-text photographs and line drawings and with Lynch's characteristic marginal sketches.

Reviews
“Whether he is discussing esthetics or pipe sizes, Lynch's writing, conditioned by experience with students, is remarkably clear; but because he is dealing with visual form and spatial relationships, he reassures the reader with hundreds of lucid thumbnail sketches in the margins beside the text; the effect is not unlike an animated film accompaniment. (from previous edition)”—Journal of Architectural Education
