This article argues that high-rise residential projects—a dominant form of contemporary cities—are playing a pivotal role in generating new urban experience for city dwellers. Drawing on an affect-based research approach, we empirically examine high-rise residential projects built from 1998 to 2016 in two medium-size cities in central Israel. We address three moments of new affective experience of residents: (1) the view and the practice of viewing; (2) bodies and sound; and (3) bodies becoming a body. The article contributes a conceptual shift to urban planning for studying present-day urban experience. Accordingly, it derives insights to better understand contemporary socio-spatial relations in cities.

本文认为，高层住宅项目（当代城市的主要形式）在为城市居民创造新的城市体验方面起着举足轻重的作用。借助基于情感的研究方法，我们对1998年至2016年在以色列中部两个中等城市建造的高层住宅项目进行了实证研究。我们介绍了居民新的情感体验的三个时刻：（1）观看的观点和实践；（2）身体和声音；（3）身体成为身体。本文为研究当今的城市经验，对城市规划做出了概念上的转变。因此，它得出了一些见解，可以更好地理解城市中的当代社会空间关系。
