Difference between Global South cities: Mexico City, Freetown and the global division of urban informal labour
全球南部城市之间的差异：墨西哥城、弗里敦和城市非正规劳动力的全球分工
Joshua Lew McDermott（美国东南路易斯安那大学）This work pursues a new explanatory framework for understanding some of the variance and homogeneity of informal work between cities in the Global South. Rooted in a materialist approach to informality, it seeks to explain the dynamics of informal work in different urban contexts via a novel application of the global division of labour, termed the global division of urban informal labour. Through a comparative analysis of the urban labour regimes of Freetown, Sierra Leone, and Mexico City, Mexico, the work argues that each city’s respective location within the global capitalist system largely determines the nature of their informal economies. It posits that a city’s informal labour regime is shaped by whether a city’s economy is predominantly defined by financial, industrial or extractive capital, and explores the ramifications of the financialised economy of Mexico City and the extractivist economy of Freetown for shaping informal work in each city. Such an approach attempts not only to explain urban and labour regime variance but also to highlight the essential and foundational nature of informal work in global capitalism today. It also seeks to aid in the task of recentring capitalism and class considerations into understandings of the internal and external dynamics of Global South cities in general.
本文探讨了新的解释框架，来理解全球南方城市之间非正规工作的一些差异和同质性。这个新的解释框架源于认识非正规性的唯物主义方法，试图通过全球劳动分工的新应用（被称为城市非正规劳动力的全球分工）来解释不同城市背景下非正规工作的动态。通过对塞拉利昂的弗里敦和墨西哥墨西哥城的城市劳动体制进行比较分析，本文指出，每个城市在全球资本主义体系中的位置在很大程度上决定了其非正规经济的性质。我们假定一个城市的非正规劳动体制取决于该城市的经济是否主要由金融、工业或采掘资本定义，并探讨了墨西哥城的金融化经济和弗里敦的采掘经济分别对其非正规工作的影响。这种方法不仅试图解释城市政体和劳动体制的差异，也试图强调当今全球资本主义中非正规工作的本质和基础性。它还试图将资本主义和阶级考量作为核心要素，重新纳入对全球南方城市总体内外部动态的理解中。

Inventraset组合：非正规街头贩卖、交通和住区的空间逻辑
Redento B Recio（澳大利亚墨尔本大学）Urban informality remains a central challenge for those engaged in understanding and transforming global South cities. There have been calls to develop new conceptual language geared to this challenge and much debate around the degree to which it might be subsumed within global urban theory. We argue that theories of informal urbanism need to be grounded in an understanding of how it works to sustain livelihoods, moving beyond studies of informal settlement, street vending and transport to understand the synergies, interrelations and interdependencies between them. Informal vending and transport provide employment and produce cheap goods and mobility; informal settlement produces affordable housing in key locations with access and mobility. ‘Inventraset’ is a portmanteau concept that links informal vending, transport and settlement into a dynamic urban assemblage that is inventive, transgressive and settled. This model is demonstrated through an empirical study of the spatial logic of the inventraset triangle within the megacities of Manila and Jakarta. Here the informal is normal, whether displayed in the intensities of transit nodes and street markets or camouflaged within zones of exclusion. This is not an ‘informal city’ but one where informal street vending, transport and settlement are geared to formal spatial and governance structures in different ways in different neighbourhoods − an assemblage of informal/formal and of vending/transport/settlement without which the urban economy would collapse. This is a call not simply to rename the informal but to understand it as a mode of production that is more than the inverse of the formal.对于致力于理解和改造全球南方城市的人来说，城市非正规性仍然是一个核心挑战。学者们呼吁开发新的概念语言来应对这一挑战，并围绕其可在多大程度上纳入全球城市理论展开了许多争论。我们认为，非正规城市化理论需要建立在对城市居民如何维持生计的理解之上，超越对非正规住区、街头贩卖和交通的研究，以理解它们之间的协同作用、相互关系和相互依赖性。非正规贩卖和交通提供就业机会并产生廉价商品和流动性；非正规住区在具有便利性和流动性的重要地点提供经济适用的住房。“Inventraset”是一个混合概念，它将非正规贩卖、交通和住区连接在一起，形成一个具有创造性、突破性和稳定性的充满活力的城市组合。本文对两个特大城市—马尼拉和雅加达内部的 Inventraset 三角的空间逻辑进行了实证研究，以此来验证该模型。在这里，非正规是正常的，可以从交通节点和街头市场的密集度中看出来，也可能是隐蔽在禁区内。这不是一个“非正规的城市”，而是一个非正规的街头贩卖、交通和住区在不同的街区以不同的方式适应正式空间和治理结构的城市—非正规/正规的组合以及贩卖/交通/住区的组合，没有这种组合城市经济会崩溃。这不仅是呼吁对非正规进行重新命名，还呼吁将其理解为一种生产方式，而不是与正规相对。

“认养你的城市”：后政治地理学和紧缩时期的城市慈善政治
Over the last decade, urban philanthropic giving has acquired an increased significance for cities, shaping urban agendas and affecting local decision-making. Contributing to the emerging geographical literature on the impact of philanthropy on urban governance as well as to scholarship on post-foundational geographies, I argue that urban philanthropic giving is related to a post-political regime of multi-stakeholder urban governance. Contrary to being a linear process of managerial consensus politics, the post-politicisation of urban governance emerges as a multidimensional and variegated process of mutations and adaptations. Drawing from Athens, Greece, in the austerity period, I trace the emergence of a new donor-based philanthrocapitalist regime of urban governance and I demonstrate that post-political governance can take diverse forms: from the well-described in existing literature inclusive partnership-based approach to more authoritarian consensus-based governance processes. The aim of the paper is not just to answer if philanthrocapitalism gives rise to a post-political condition or not, but to explore how it is making and remaking (post-political) urban governance of public spaces, urban politics and urban everyday life. In doing so, the paper focuses on Athens Partnership, an intermediate governance organisation that was established to manage and support donations from the private sector to local governments in Athens and explores the ways urban philanthropy impacts on urban governance. Overall, the paper brings forward a renewed, more enmeshed understanding of post-political urban governance through an analysis of the novel philanthrocapitalist regime that emerged in European cities in the context of the recent intersecting crises.在过去十年中，城市慈善捐赠对城市的重要性日益凸显，它塑造了城市议程并影响了地方决策。本文的研究有助于丰富新兴的关于慈善事业对城市治理影响的地理学研究，也为后基础地理学的学术研究做出贡献。本文认为城市慈善捐赠与多利益相关方城市治理的后政治体制有关。与管理共识政治的线性过程相反，城市治理的后政治化是一个多维度、多样化的突变和适应过程。本文以紧缩时期的希腊雅典为背景，考察了一种新的、以捐助者为基础的慈善资本主义城市治理体制的出现过程，并论证了后政治治理可以采取多种形式，包括现有文献中详细描述的以包容性伙伴关系为基础的方法，以及更加威权的、基于共识的治理流程。本文的目的不仅仅是回答慈善资本主义是否会引发后政治状况，而是探讨它如何影响和重塑对公共空间、城市政治和城市日常生活的（后政治）城市治理。在此过程中，本文重点关注“雅典伙伴关系”，一个旨在管理和支持私营部门向雅典地方政府捐款的中间治理组织，并探讨城市慈善事业如何影响城市治理。总而言之，本文通过分析最近交叉危机背景下欧洲城市中出现的新型慈善资本主义政权，提出了关于后政治城市治理的新的、更加深入的理解。

Abstract
Infrastructure investments, a core element of slum upgrading, play a role in improving the livelihoods of over 1 billion slum residents globally. Established planning practices often successfully deliver functional infrastructure but evidence shows that their contribution to improved livelihoods often either is absent or declines sharply after some time. To explain this limited effectiveness, this article identifies the missing link between infrastructure delivery and livelihood improvements as lying in the appropriation process, that is, the uptake and embedding of infrastructures into the daily practices of residents. Recent insights from sociotechnical transitions studies help to conceptualise appropriation. The authors use Munyaka informal settlement in Eldoret town, Kenya as a case to investigate the mechanisms of new infrastructure uptake. Findings indicate that appropriation is a social process that proceeds in three steps: reception, domestication and institutionalisation. This process is driven by the need to maintain or adjust residents’ livelihood practices relative to prevailing socioeconomic and spatiotemporal conditions. The study concludes that appropriation is a significant process that planners should try to anticipate. Prevalent approaches to participation have to be modified accordingly. This is essential for planning to improve livelihoods in slums.
基础设施投资是贫民窟改造的核心要素，在改善全球超过10亿贫民窟居民的生计方面发挥着重要作用。既定的规划实践通常会成功地实现功能性基础设施交付，但有证据表明，它们要么无法改善生计，要么改善生计的作用在一段时间后急剧下降。为了解释这种有限的有效性，本文指出基础设施交付和民生改善之间缺失的环节是拨用流程，即采用基础设施并将其嵌入到居民的日常实践中。社会技术转型研究的最新见解有助于将拨用概念化。本文以肯尼亚埃尔多雷特镇的 Munyaka 非正规住区为例，考察了新基础设施的采用机制。研究结果表明，拨用是一个社会过程，分三个步骤进行：接受、驯化和制度化。这一过程的驱动因素是需要根据当前的社会经济和时空条件维持或调整居民的生计实践。本文得出的结论是，拨用是规划者应该努力预见的一个重要过程。流行的参与方式必须相应修改。这对于真正改善贫民窟生计的规划至关重要。

关于夜晚的谈判：夜店发起人如何调整他们的策展实践以适应阿姆斯特丹市内夜生活的空间分布
Night-time economies have traditionally clustered in city centres and nightlife districts. Yet, due to regulation, urban regeneration and gentrification, nightlife activities and spaces, including nightclubs and club nights, are increasingly located across cities. However, the significance and spatial dynamics of this diffusion and the relationships between different nocturnal spaces and scales remain poorly understood. This paper examines the intra-urban dispersal of nightclubs in Amsterdam and the ways in which nightclub promoters attune their curatorial practices to urban processes through genre-based commercial and cultural imperatives. Drawing on interviews with 36 nightclub promoters, 111 hours of participant observation at clubs and document-based analysis, it demonstrates how these reflexive actors respond and contribute to intra-urban dispersal by (1) spatialising music genres, (2) staging affective atmospheres at different scales and (3) spatialising audiences. The paper contributes to studies which focus on nocturnal spaces, actors and activities and the evolving urban geography within cities.摘要
传统的夜间经济集中在市中心和夜生活区。然而，由于监管、城市更新和绅士化，夜生活的活动和空间，包括夜店和俱乐部之夜，越来越多地分布在城市各个地方。但是，人们对这种扩散的意义和空间动力学以及不同夜间活动的空间和尺度之间的关系仍然知之甚少。本文考察了阿姆斯特丹夜店在市内的分布情况，以及夜店发起人如何通过基于流派的商业和文化要求来调整其策展实践以适应城市进程。根据对 36 名夜店发起人进行的采访、在俱乐部对参与者进行的 111 小时的观察以及基于文献的分析，本文阐释了这些反射性行为者如何通过 (1) 将音乐流派空间化，(2) 营造不同尺度的情感氛围，以及（3）将受众空间化，对夜店的市内分布做出反应并产生影响。本文对夜间活动空间、行为者和活动的研究，以及城市内不断变化的城市地理的研究作出了贡献。
