Thermal governance, urban metabolism and carbonised comfort: Air-conditioning and urbanisation in the Gulf and Doha
热治理、城市代谢和碳化舒适度：海湾和多哈的空调与城市化
This paper develops the concept of thermal governance as a way to think critically about urbanisation and the management of heat at a time of climate change. Through the urban history of Doha between the 1950s and the 1980s, this paper deploys thermal governance to rethink urbanisation and air-conditioning dependency in the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) cities, especially in relation to the notion of petro-urbanism. The ‘thermal’ in the concept emphasises the spatial connections of thermal exchanges across different scales and domains. This paper uses architecture, cooling technologies and urban thermal metabolism to understand the relations between hydrocarbons and political power. It specifically explores the linkages between the circulation of hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon revenues on the one hand, and thermal privilege and violence in Doha and other GCC cities on the other hand. The notion of ‘governance’ allows the paper to move away from techno-centric and purportedly objective ways of understanding heat to comprehend how social and political power are implicated in the management of heat.
本文将热治理作为一种思考方式，批判性地思考气候变化情况下的城市化和热管理，将热治理的概念进行了延伸。本文通过回顾多哈 20 世纪 50 年代至 80 年代的城市历史，运用热治理来重新思考海湾合作委员会 (GCC) 城市的城市化和空调依赖性，特别是与石油城市化概念的关系。“热治理”概念中的“热”强调了不同尺度和范围的热交换的空间联系。本文利用建筑、冷却技术和城市热代谢来了解碳氢化合物与政治权力之间的关系。本文特别探讨了碳氢化合物的流通和碳氢化合物收入与多哈和其他 GCC 城市的热特权和暴力之间的联系。“治理”的概念使得本文摆脱了以技术为中心和所谓客观的理解热量的方式，转而理解社会和政治权力是如何与热管理相关的。

连接催化剂。数字信息和通信技术在促进街区社会凝聚力方面的作用：对实证研究结果的系统回顾
Jan Üblacker（德国住房与房地产应用科学大学）Simon Liebig（德国 ILS 地区与城市发展研究所）Hawzheen Hamad（德国住房与房地产应用科学大学）Neighbourhood social cohesion is associated with a range of beneficial outcomes for residents. However, it is commonly hypothesised that neighbourhood relations face potential disruptions from digital information and communication technologies (DICT) as they are assumed to alter traditional community structures previously grounded in physical proximity. We systematically review 52 empirical studies on the relationship between DICT and neighbourhood social cohesion to determine in what ways DICT hinder or promote neighbourhood social cohesion. We found that DICT promote social cohesion by catalysing local social capital, but not for everyone and not in every neighbourhood. We propose the theoretical concept of ‘catalysts of connection’ to explain how technological affordances and online content interact with collective and individual social capital to develop various domains of social cohesion. Based on these results and our theoretical concept, we conclude that DICT exacerbate socio-spatial inequality in cities as neighbourhoods with low social capital are less likely to reap the benefits of the digital age. We provide paths for future investigations on the intersection of urban research and media and communication studies.街区的社会凝聚力与居民能享受的各种有益成果相关。然而，人们普遍认为，邻里关系可能会受到数字信息和通信技术 (DICT) 的干扰，因为人们认为 DICT 会改变以前以物理距离为基础的传统社区结构。我们系统地回顾了 52 项关于 DICT 与街区的社会凝聚力关系的实证研究，以确定 DICT 在哪些方面会阻碍或促进街区的社会凝聚力。我们发现，DICT 通过催化当地社会资本来促进社会凝聚力，但并不是对每个人、每个街区都如此。我们提出“连接催化剂”的理论概念，来解释技术可供性和在线内容与集体和个人社会资本互动以发展各种领域的社会凝聚力的方式。根据这些结果和我们的理论概念，我们得出结论，DICT 加剧了城市的社会空间不平等，因为社会资本较低的街区享受数字时代好处的机会更少。本文可为将来的城市研究与媒体和传播研究的交叉领域提供路径。

中国城市公寓的自治：战略行动领域视角
This paper investigates the impact of homeowners’ condominium self-governance on neighbourhood governance in urban China. The self-governance campaign, which advocates for the direct employment of property management personnel, signifies condominium owners’ endeavours to reassert control over their private living space against the intervention of the state and the exploitation of property management agents. Whilst self-governance is practised within specific walled neighbourhoods, homeowners’ efforts to amplify the influence of this campaign have brought it beyond the mere selection of a property management model. Employing the strategic action field approach, this paper identifies the key actors and specific forces that shape China’s condominium and neighbourhood governance. It also explores the potential political risks associated with the self-governance campaign and how it changes the power dynamics within the neighbourhood governance structure. The research findings not only illustrate the versatility of the strategic action field approach in analysing the various aspects of condominiums and private neighbourhood governance in urban China but also extend current understanding of the interplay among homeowners’ organisations, market agents and state actors and reveal relevant implications for neighbourhood governance in urban China.本文考察了业主公寓自治对中国城市街区治理的影响。倡导直接聘用物业管理人员的自治运动，是公寓业主反对政府干预和物业管理代理人的剥削，试图重新掌握对私人居住空间的控制权的尝试。虽然自治是在特定的封闭街区内实行的，但业主为扩大自治运动的影响力所做的努力，已经超出了单纯的选择物业管理模式的范畴。本文采用战略行动场域方法，确定了影响中国公寓和街区治理的关键参与者和具体力量。我们还探讨了自治运动可能带来的政治风险，以及它如何改变街区治理结构中的权力动态。研究结果不仅说明了战略行动场域方法在分析中国城市公寓和私人街区治理的各个方面的多功能性，而且扩展了当前对业主组织、市场代理和国家行为者之间相互作用的理解，并揭示了对中国城市街区治理的相关影响。

Abstract
A digital information explosion has transformed cities’ residential and educational markets in ways that are still being uncovered. Although urban stratification scholars have increasingly scrutinised whether emerging digital platforms disrupt or reproduce longstanding segregation patterns, direct links between one theoretically important form of digital information – school quality data – and neighbourhood and school segregation are rarely drawn. To clarify these dynamics, we leverage an exogenous digital information shock, in which the Los Angeles Times’ website revealed measures of a particularly important school quality proxy – schools’ value-added effectiveness – for nearly all elementary schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District. Results suggest that although the information shock had no detectable effects on residential sorting or neighbourhood racial segregation, it did exert modest effects on school sorting – particularly for Latino and Asian students – albeit not in ways that materially diminished school racial segregation because the racial compositions of high- and low-value-added schools were broadly similar both before and after the information shock. We conclude that the urban stratification implications of digital information may be more nuanced than often appreciated, with effects operating through mechanisms beyond residential segregation and reflecting racial heterogeneity in constraints and preferences vis-à-vis specific types of information.
数字信息爆炸已经以至今仍未明确的方式改变了城市的住宅和教育市场。尽管城市分层学者越来越多地关注新兴数字平台是否会颠覆或重现长期存在的隔离模式，但一种理论上很重要的数字信息形式—学校质量数据—与街区和学校隔离之间的直接联系却很少被提及。为了阐明这些动态，我们利用了外生的数字信息冲击，其中《洛杉矶时报》网站揭示了洛杉矶联合学区几乎所有小学的一个特别重要的学校质量指标—学校的增值效益。结果表明，信息冲击对居住分类或街区种族隔离没有明显的影响，但对学校分类确实产生了一些影响（尽管并没有实质性地减少学校种族隔离）— 特别是对拉丁裔和亚裔学生，因为高附加值学校和低附加值学校的种族构成在信息冲击之前和之后大致相似。我们得出的结论是，数字信息对城市分层的影响可能比人们通常认为的更加微妙，其影响通过居住隔离之外的机制发挥作用，并反映了种族异质性限制和对特定类型信息的偏好。

在数字空间中栖身：一种针对实现流动性正义的城市信息权
Dian Nostikasari（美国德雷克大学）
Space is often produced digitally before it is produced physically. This article investigates how the right to the city can be broadened to include the appropriation of digital spaces to produce ‘lived’ transportation spaces. Focussing on mobilisation against highway expansion in Dallas, Texas, we ask the following: (1) what are the mechanisms through which space is conceived, perceived, and lived through the lens of mobility justice; (2) how might claims for technical information challenge dominant transportation policies and projects; and (3) how might participants inhabit digital spaces? We conduct a qualitative analysis of transportation planning narratives, visualisations, and public comments in three documents: the Dallas City Center Master Assessment Process, Coalition for a New Dallas’ I-345/45 Framework Plan, and public survey data regarding proposed highway changes (*n* = 1241). Findings demonstrate how residents challenge transportation ‘needs’ as often determined in conceptual planning spaces. Further, technologies can be appropriated to produce differential spaces, which can alter the trajectory of highway projects. Challenging the legitimacy of institutionalised knowledge through the appropriation and production of digital spaces forms part of a larger claim to the right of the city.摘要
空间通常是先以数字方式产生，然后才以物理方式产生。本文探讨如何扩大城市权利，包括利用数字空间来创造“真实体验”的交通空间。我们重点关注德克萨斯州达拉斯市反对高速公路扩建的运动，并提出以下问题：（1）从流动性正义的角度来看，空间被构想、感知和真实体验的机制是什么；（2）技术信息的权利主张如何对主流的交通政策和项目提出质疑；（3）参与者如何存在于数字空间？我们对三份文件中的交通规划叙述、可视化和公众意见进行了定性分析，这三份文件为：达拉斯市中心总体评估流程、新达拉斯联盟的 I-345/45 框架规划以及有关拟议高速公路变更的公众调查数据（n=1241）。研究结果表明居民如何质疑经常在概念规划空间中确定的交通“需求”。此外，技术可以被利用来创造差异空间，从而改变高速公路项目的轨迹。通过数字空间的占用和生产来挑战制度化知识的合法性，是争取更多城市权利主张的一部分。
