爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
In their travels about, Mr. McFarland and Bok began to note the disreputably untidy spots which various municipalities allowed in the closest proximity to the centre of their business life, in the most desirable residential sections, and often adjacent to the most important municipal buildings and parks. It was decided to select a dozen cities, pick out the most flagrant instances of spots which were not only an eyesore and a disgrace from a municipal standpoint, but a menace to health and meant a depreciation of real-estate value.

白话
麦克法兰和博克在旅行中注意到,许多城市允许一些不体面的脏乱角落紧挨着商业中心、高档住宅区,甚至毗邻重要的市政建筑和公园。他们决定挑选十几个城市,找出最扎眼的例子——这些地方不仅从市政角度看是碍眼和耻辱,还危害健康、导致房地产贬值。核心是:用具体案例推动城市治理。做法是:先观察记录,再选定典型,为后续曝光做准备。背后的取舍是:与其泛泛批评,不如用事实说话,让问题无法回避。
上下文
博克是《妇女家庭杂志》主编,他与麦克法兰合作发起“肮脏城市”系列报道,旨在通过杂志曝光推动市政改善。
