城市环境史研究在未来将继续得以深化。就时空范围而言,目前的城市环境史研究还主要局限于工业革命以来西方的一些大都市,而对近代以前、欧美之外的城市还很少涉及。但自城市在世界各地出现以来,人与自然的相互影响就始终存在,它们理应纳入城市环境史研究的范畴。时空范围的延展将使城市环境史的研究内容变得更加丰富。同时,城市环境史研究还需要将城市作为生态系统进一步加以探讨。作为人类栖息地之一,城市生态系统的功能之一便是人类自身的繁衍。人类繁衍受到“营养、疾病、人口流动、战争、凶杀、性行为”等多种因素的影响,它们之间的联系理应成为城市环境史研究的重要议题。城市同时也是许多动物的栖息地,但城市宠物的驯养和管理方面的研究在目前几乎还没有开始,这一议题在未来也值得受到更多的关注。另外,目前环境正义主要关注社会各阶层面临的不同程度的环境风险,但环境不平等在现实社会生活中广泛存在,在历史上也长期存在。对这些问题的关注,有利于拓展环境正义运动的广度与深度,并推动城市环境史研究的发展。 注释: ①DavidA.Johnson,“ForumEnvironmentalHistory:RetrospectandProspect”;SamuelHays,“TowardIntegrationinEnvironmentalHistory”;RichardWhite,“EnvironmentalHistory:WatchingaHistoricalFieldMature”,PacificHistoricalReview,Vol.70,No.1,Feb.2001. ②MartinMelosi,“ThePlaceoftheCityinEnvironmentalHistory”,EnvironmentalHistoryReview,Vol.17,No.1(Spring,1993). ③ChristineRosen&Joel.Tarr,“TheImportanceofanUrbanPerspectiveinEnvironmentalHistory”,inSpecialIssue“TheEnvironmentandtheCity”,JournalofUrbanHistory,Vol.20(May1994). ④SpecialIssue,“TechnologyandEnvironment:TheHistorians‘Challenge”,EnvironmentalHistoryRev/ew,Vol.18,Issue1(Spring1994). ⑤JoelA.Tart,“UrbanHistoryandEnvironmentalHistoryintheUnitedStates:ComplementaryandOverlappingFields”,inChristophBernhardt,ed.,EnvironmentalProblemsinEuropeanCitiesofthe19thand20thCentury,NewYork,p.37. ⑥HaroldPlatt,“TheEmergenceofUrbanEnvironmentalHistory”,UrbanHistory,Vol.26,No.1(1999),pp.89-95;KathleenBrosnan,“Effluence,AffluenceandtheMaturingofUrbanEnvironmentalHistory”,JournalofUrbanHistory,Vol.31,No.1(Nov.,2004),pp.115-123. ⑦AndrewIsenberg,TheNatureofCities:Culture,Landscape,andUrbanSpace,UniversityofRochesterPress,2006. ⑧“ForwardbyMartinMelosi”,inJoelA.Tart,TheSearchfortheUltimateSink:UrbanPollutioninHistoricalPerspective,UniversityofAkronPress,1996,p.xxii. ⑨MartinMelosi,“ThePlaceoftheCityinEnvironmentalHistory”,EnvironmentalHistoryReview,Vol.17,No.1(Spring,1993),p.2. ⑩DonaldWorster,“DoingEnvironmentalHistory”,inDonaldWorster,ed.,TheEndsoftheEarth:PerspectivesonModernEnvironmentalHistory,CambridgeUniversityPress,1989,p.293.
