And so over the course of a city's development, as one regime replaces another, the new government will first accept its architectural inheritance, waiting until things are stable before setting the old buildings to fire or tearing them down to rewrite the city's spatial history with a new set of symbols.
因此在城市發展史中，當一個政權被另一個政權取代，後者總是先接收前者的成果，然後等大勢穩定以後，能燒的用火燒、不能燒的就動手拆，毀去過去的記憶，再建立新的符號象徵，改寫空間的歷史。
