Rebuilding plans submitted after the Great Fire of London in 1666 have been widely treated by historians of the Great Fire and in wide-scope histories of London and modern city planning. However, few attempts have been made to assign an overarching logic to all of them, while paying attention to their texts as well as to their maps. The following article highlights certain common features in these abortive efforts to plan London, assigns a common logic to all of them, and traces the origins of this logic. Such an analysis illuminates the economic principles in plans that are usually examined for their architectural features, and places them in a different historical context. Rather than seeing them as manifestations of contemporary architectural trends, or as a continuation of ongoing attempts to regulate London's cityscape, the plans are presented here as a response to emerging ideas in mid-seventeenth-century England about the nature of value and the economic function of cities within the world of commerce. Such a view reveals the complex interplay between London's early modern growth and the emergence of new forms of knowledge in seventeenth-century England and reasserts the importance of these plans as forerunners of present-day city planning.

1666 年伦敦大火后重建计划中的定量推理和商业逻辑

在 1666 年伦敦大火之后提交的重建计划得到了大火历史学家以及伦敦和现代城市规划的广泛历史的广泛关注。然而，很少有人尝试为所有这些分配一个总体逻辑，同时关注他们的文本以及他们的地图。下面的文章重点介绍了伦敦规划失败的这些努力中的某些共同特征，为所有这些努力分配了共同的逻辑，并追溯了这种逻辑的起源。这种分析阐明了计划中的经济原则，这些计划通常会检查其建筑特征，并将它们置于不同的历史背景中。与其将它们视为当代建筑趋势的表现，或将其视为监管伦敦城市景观的持续尝试的延续，此处提出的计划是对 17 世纪中叶英格兰关于商业世界中城市的价值本质和经济功能的新兴想法的回应。这种观点揭示了伦敦早期现代发展与 17 世纪英格兰新知识形式的出现之间复杂的相互作用，并重申了这些计划作为当今城市规划先驱的重要性。
