Walls and openings: The politics of containment of informal communities in Islamabad
围墙与开口:伊斯兰堡非正规社区关于遏制的政治
In many large cities today, spaces of extreme wealth and poverty often exist in proximity. City officials, private developers and wealthy residents often ‘correct’ this cheek-by-jowl situation of proximate yet drastically unequal communities by building physical walls and fences between them. What is the interface between spaces inside and outside the walls built around low-income communities in elite neighbourhoods? How do people living inside the walls built to contain their communities engage with this infrastructure of control? This article addresses these questions by presenting the politics of socio-spatial separation of a low-income and informally built walled community called France Colony in a wealthy neighbourhood in Islamabad (Pakistan). It shows how the wall around France Colony is not only an ineffective sealing device; its porosity has also ironically prompted adjacent wealthy residents to retreat inside their large homes and raise their boundary walls. Not only do walls make obvious the intentions and anxieties of people on the outside trying to control the presence and growth of a low-income community, but spatial practices and negotiations around involuntarily built enclosures can minimise their restrictive intent and provide opportunities for enclosed communities to demand their rights to space.
当今的许多大城市中,极富和极贫的社区往往相邻。有些社区虽然相邻但极其不平等,城市官员、私人开发商和富裕居民通常会在这些社区之间建造实体的围墙和围栏来“纠正”这种紧挨着的状况。精英街区中,围住低收入社区的围墙内外侧之间的临界区域是什么样的呢?这些围墙是为控制其社区而建,那生活在墙内的人们如何理解这种控制基础设施呢?本文通过介绍一个被称为“法国殖民地”社区的社会空间隔离政治,解答了这些问题。这是一个位于巴基斯坦伊斯兰堡富裕街区内被围墙围起来的低收入、非正规社区。本文阐述了为什么说“法国殖民地”周围的墙是一种无效的密封装置;具有讽刺意味的是,它的多孔性还促使相邻的富裕居民退避到其大房子里,并提高其边界墙。围墙使试图控制低收入社区存在和发展的墙外人的意图和焦虑显而易见,而围绕非自愿建造围墙进行的空间实践和讨论可以最大限度地减少他们的限制意图,并为围起来的社区提供争取空间权利的机会。

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.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。

绅士化是否限制了低收入家庭的住房市场? 基于纽约和旧金山大都市区家庭居住流动性的证据
This research investigates whether gentrification restricts housing markets for low-income households by focussing on the New York and San Francisco metropolitan areas from 2013 to 2019. We investigate whether gentrification correlates with increased out-migration and decreased in-migration of low-income residents in affected neighbourhoods, and how it shapes where out-movers relocate. We leverage a unique longitudinal dataset to compare two extreme regional contexts characterised by significant affordability challenges and intense housing regulations. By doing so, this study aims to provide a more refined understanding of gentrification and residential mobility dynamics, avoiding broad generalisations or a narrow focus on single metropolitan contexts. The findings indicate that in both regions, low-income households are indeed more likely to leave gentrifying neighbourhoods compared to non-gentrifying ones and less likely to enter them compared to higher-income households. The study also finds mixed results regarding the subsequent residential situations of these low-income movers. Based on these findings, we provide implications for research and policies oriented towards improving housing and neighbourhood access for low-income households in rapidly changing urban areas.通过关注 2013 年至 2019 年的纽约和旧金山大都会地区,本文考察了绅士化是否限制了低收入家庭的住房市场。我们考察了绅士化是否与受影响街区低收入居民迁出增加,而迁入减少有关,以及它如何影响外迁者的搬迁目的地。我们利用独特的纵向数据集来比较这两个极端的区域背景,其特点是巨大的可负担性挑战和严格的住房监管。藉此,本研究旨在细化对绅士化和居住流动动态的理解,避免泛泛的概括或狭隘地关注单一的大都市环境。研究结果表明,在这两个地区,与非绅士化街区相比,低收入家庭确实更有可能离开绅士化街区,并且与高收入家庭相比,他们进入绅士化街区的可能性较小。研究还发现这些低收入搬迁者的后续居住状况存在不同的结果。基于这些结论,我们为旨在改善快速变化的城市地区中低收入家庭住房和街区权利的研究和政策提供了启示。

Abstract
Urban spaces are reconfigured as digital technologies are increasingly embedded into cities. While existing research has considered the role of urban actors in implementing digital technologies as part of the smart urbanism framework, it has insufficiently considered the role that urban space plays for individual stakeholders and the implications this has for how they contribute to digital cities. This article therefore explores the converging interests of urban actors in mediating digital technology adoption in urban space. It draws on literature on the spatial impact of digital technologies, digital urban growth, and urban governance theory to frame the agency of urban actors to mobilise resources and collaboration to protect their interests. The paper provides insight into how interests in digital technology adoption and in the use of urban space intersect in a middle-sized European city – Tallinn, Estonia – and how these interests converge between local key stakeholders in local governance. Based on a thematic analysis of interviews, it is argued that the potential of digital technologies to dislocate functionalities from physical urban space should be understood against the backdrop of local actors’ interests. It is therefore suggested that smart urbanism should be understood as a framework through which actors of the city attempt to seize the benefits of digital technologies without compromising their interests in urban space.
随着数字技术日益融入城市,城市空间也得到重新配置。虽然现有研究已经考虑到城市参与者作为智慧城市化框架的一部分,在数字技术实施方面的作用,但尚未充分考虑城市空间对各个利益相关者的作用,及其对城市参与者为数字城市做出贡献的方式的影响。因此,本文探讨了城市参与者在促成城市空间数字技术采用方面的共同利益。借鉴有关数字技术的空间影响、数字城市发展和城市治理理论的文献,本文构建了城市参与者调动资源和合作来保护其利益的机制。本文深入探讨了在爱沙尼亚的塔林,一个欧洲的中型城市,数字技术采用和城市空间利用方面的利益是如何交叉的,以及这些利益如何在地方治理的本地关键利益相关者之间汇集。根据针对访谈进行的主题分析,本文认为,应该在当地参与者的利益背景下理解数字技术将功能与物理城市空间脱钩的潜力。因此,本文建议将智慧城市化理解为一个框架,城市参与者试图通过该框架抓住数字技术的好处,同时不损害其在城市空间方面的利益。

紧缩时代的超级工程:平民主义、政治化和新自由主义共识的打破
Amparo Tarazona Vento(英国谢菲尔德大学)Drawing on the literature on neoliberalism and populism this paper examines the potential of contentious politics that target iconic megaprojects for promoting societal politicisation and effectively challenge the neoliberal consensus over the necessity of sustained growth and competitiveness, in a context of enduring austerity. Using the case of Valencia as an entry point, it looks at how, just as decision makers and global architects alike had mobilised iconic megaprojects and events to generate consent for the city’s neoliberal urban policy, opposition movements, with less economic resources but in innovative ways, provided an alternative narrative to interpret the urban policy and its social consequences. Empirically, this paper draws upon 35 semi-structured research interviews and a press coverage analysis of national and regional newspapers. Interviews were conducted with urban environment professionals, members of business associations, members of political parties, elected politicians, journalists, community representatives and members of the social movements involved. From both theoretical and empirical perspectives, the case of Valencia raises important questions regarding the potential of populist strategies to foster politicisation and challenge the neoliberal post-political consensus.摘要
根据关于新自由主义和平民主义的文献,本文考察了针对促进社会政治化的标志性大型项目的抗争政治的潜力,并在持久经济紧缩的背景下,对持续发展和竞争的必然性这一新自由主义共识有效地提出了质疑。以西班牙的巴伦西亚市为切入点,本文着眼于反对派运动如何以更少的经济资源和创新的方式,提供另外一种叙述方式来解释城市政策及其社会后果,就像决策者和全球建筑师动用标志性大型项目和活动来为该市的新自由主义城市政策赢得共识一样。实证方面,本文采用了 35 次半结构化的研究访谈,并对全国性和地区性报纸的新闻报道进行了分析。访谈对象包括城市环境专业人员、商业协会成员、政党成员、民选政治家、记者、社区代表和相关社会运动成员。从理论和实证的角度,巴伦西亚案例就平民主义战略促进政治化和挑战新自由主义后政治共识的潜力,提出了重要问题。
