Questioning pandemic recovery: A regional second city perspective
质疑疫情后的复苏： 区域二线城市视角
Charles Williams（美国华盛顿大学塔科马分校）Mark Pendras（美国华盛顿大学塔科马分校）The Covid-19 pandemic unsettled many assumptions about cities and urban life. Even discounting media fears about urban ‘collapse’, the pandemic and its aftermath have led to real uncertainties about the trajectory of urban development. While the struggles of ‘superstar’ cities in the Global North have attracted significant attention, here we shift focus onto the experiences of regional second cities in an attempt to capture a different perspective. In doing so, we avoid both the sensationalism of ‘doom loop’ projections that herald the end of major cities and the uncritical embrace of new ‘opportunities’ for peripheral cities in the wake of pandemic turmoil. Instead, we offer a more critical view that acknowledges some new possibilities while highlighting both their constrained parameters and the related threat of regional gentrification. As cities around the country begin to recover from the turmoil of pandemic disruption, we accordingly question the applicability and consequences of some of the more prominent recovery strategies beyond the context of major cities and suggest careful consideration of alternative development paths for regional second cities. To illustrate the regional second city experience, we explore recent outcomes in Tacoma, Washington, where the city’s post-pandemic development strategy embraces a reliance on luxury residential growth and associated consumer amenities, defined in relation to the dominant neighbouring city of Seattle. Cautioning over working-class displacement, regional gentrification and other vulnerabilities associated with this version of recovery, we conclude by looking at emerging housing activism in Tacoma for insights into how the present moment might generate new political organising for more equitable urban development.
新冠疫情颠覆了许多关于城市和城市生活的假设。即使不相信媒体对城市“崩溃”的担忧，我们也不得不承认疫情及其带来的后果真的已经给城市发展轨迹带来了诸多不确定性。全球北方“超级明星”城市的困难已引起广泛关注，但本文重点关注的却是区域二线城市的经历，试图从不同的视角去理解城市发展。这样，我们既可以避免受耸人听闻的“厄运循环”预测（这些预测宣称大城市会走向末日）的影响，也可以避免在经历了疫情混乱之后，不加批判地接受周边城市的新“机遇”。相反，我们提出了更具批判性的观点，承认了一些新的可能性，同时强调了其受限参数以及相关的区域绅士化威胁。随着全国各地的城市开始从疫情造成的混乱中恢复，我们对一些较为重要的复苏战略在大城市之外的适用性和结果提出了质疑，并建议仔细考虑其它适用于区域二线城市的发展道路。为了阐述区域二线城市的经验，我们探讨了华盛顿州塔科马市的最新成果，该市后疫情时代的发展战略包括依赖豪华住宅增长和相关的消费便利设施，其发展战略是根据邻近的主要城市西雅图来确定的。最后，我们提醒有必要注意工人阶级流离失所、区域绅士化以及与此种复苏模式相关的其他脆弱性，同时审视了塔科马新兴的住房行动主义，以此来了解当前可能如何产生新的政治组织，以获得更公平的城市发展。

看不见的鱼：中国精英封闭式社区居民与城市公共空间的选择性（失）联系
Rowland Atkinson（英国谢菲尔德大学）Gated communities remain identified with strong forms of socio-physical segregation, yet there has been relatively light engagement with the question of how their residents engage with the city more broadly. This relationship, of protected privacy to open public space, is important because segregation is found in modes of mobility as well as in fixed residential spaces. This article contributes to the understanding of mobile forms of segregation by examining the use of public space, and sites of work, leisure and city services, by the (upper) middle-class residents of two high-end gated communities in Zhanjiang, a middle-tier Chinese city. In these relatively new elite residential spaces, newly status-conscious inhabitants reveal how their use of private modes of travel, avoidance of public transportation systems and efforts at seamless traversal of urban spaces connect to ideas of social achievement. Through extensive qualitative fieldwork in these two sites, we are granted a privileged insight into the ways in which China’s nascent middle classes utilise shielded addresses from which to access what they see as status-conferring lifestyle and taste destinations through private modes of mobility.封闭式社区的社会-物理隔离仍然严重，但对于其居民如何更广泛地融入城市，人们的关注却相对较少。受保护的隐私与开放的公共空间之间的这种关系非常重要，因为在交通系统和固定的居住空间中都存在隔离。本文通过考察中国中等城市湛江的两个高端封闭式社区的（上层）中产阶级居民，加深对移动隔离形式的理解。我们主要考察其对公共空间的使用，以及对工作、休闲和城市服务场所的使用情况。在这些相对较新的精英居住空间中，新近具有地位意识的居民展示了他们私人出行方式的使用、对公共交通系统的回避以及无缝穿越城市空间的努力如何与社会成就理念相联系。通过对这两个社区进行广泛的定性实地考察，我们获得了宝贵的见解，了解到中国新中产如何利用隐私地址，通过私人出行方式实现他们认为可以体现地位的生活方式以及到达有品味的目的地。

卡斯特罗区、苏活区、楚埃卡区和玛黑区。从国际角度看待象征资本积累的酷儿城市空间
Jose Carpio-Pinedo（西班牙马德里理工大学）Jesús López-Baeza（德国汉堡港口城市大学）LGBTQ+ neighbourhoods and venues in our cities have fulfilled many vital functions for LGBTQ+ people and for society as a whole. Generally identified through the concentration of consumption spaces that host meetings between LGBTQ+ people, they have a great symbolic value in the fight for their rights and against intolerance. At a time when doubts arise about their future, there are far fewer spatial, quantitative and systematic analyses of these concentration patterns, especially from an international and comparative approach to the phenomenon. The digitisation of our daily lives generates big data that make possible avenues of research that were hitherto impossible, not only in detail and extent, but also in the nature of the questions to answer. In this article, we analyse Foursquare location-based social big data to quantify and spatialise clustering patterns of queer places and symbolic capital in four LGBTQ+ neighbourhoods (Castro in San Francisco, Soho in London, Chueca in Madrid and Le Marais in Paris) and take similar spaces with no LGBTQ+ identity as a reference. In doing so, the greater accumulation of symbolic capital in LGBTQ+ spaces is revealed and measured in these four cities. In future, similar studies could capture trends like the gentrification of these environments, to help policymakers make data-driven decisions to promote more inclusive and diverse cities.我们城市中的非异性恋（LGBTQ+） 街区和场所为非异性恋人群和整个社会发挥了许多重要功能。非异性恋人群聚会的消费空间通常集中在这些地方，这也成为了它们具有辨识度的一个特点，它们在非异性恋人群争取自身权利和反对不容异己的斗争中具有重要的象征价值。人们对它们的未来产生了怀疑，但对这些集中模式的空间、定量和系统分析却很少，尤其是很少从国际和比较的角度对这一现象进行分析。我们日常生活的数字化产生了大数据，这使得以前不可能的研究途径成为可能，包括细节和范围，也包括需要回答的问题的性质。本文分析了 Foursquare 基于位置的社交大数据，量化并空间化了四个非异性恋街区（旧金山的卡斯特罗区、伦敦的苏活区、马德里的楚埃卡区和巴黎的玛黑区）的酷儿场所和符号资本的聚类模式，并以没有非异性恋身份的类似空间作为参考。藉此，我们揭示并衡量这四个城市中非异性恋空间的符号资本的更大积累。未来，类似的研究可以捕捉这些环境中的绅士化等趋势，以帮助政策制定者以数据为基础做出决策，促进城市建设更加包容和多元化。

Abstract
Although most households are equipped with digital information and communication technologies (DICT), a significant digital divide remains in internet access at home along income and digital native/immigrant status. Previous research has mainly investigated whether this digital inequality is attributable to constraints such as technological availability or financial resources. This article examines the extent to which digital inequality of internet access at home is preference-driven by comparing internet preference with other housing preferences and investigating the effect heterogeneity of social status on internet preference. We analyse a dataset comprising 131 residents of a disadvantaged neighbourhood in Bochum, Germany. This neighbourhood provides a suitable setting, as internet access is available throughout the area but varies between individual households. Using a factorial survey with housing vignettes, we assess the importance of internet preference. This research design circumvents many of the difficulties in measuring housing preferences, such as unrealistic wishful thinking, and facilitates the investigation of effect heterogeneity in terms of social status characteristics. The results show that the preference for internet access at home is comparable to that of other housing amenities and does not vary according to age, income or the presence of children. The findings reinforce the importance of the financial constraint-driven causes of the digital divide.
尽管大多数家庭都配备了数字信息和通信技术 (DICT)，但家庭互联网接入、收入和数字原生代/移民身份等方面仍然存在显著的数字鸿沟。先前的研究主要考察这种数字不平等是否归因于技术可用性或财政资源等限制。本文通过比较互联网偏好和其他住房偏好，并研究社会地位的异质性对互联网偏好的影响，考察家庭互联网接入数字不平等在多大程度上是由偏好造成的。我们分析了德国波鸿一个贫困街区 131 名居民的数据。这个街区提供了合适的研究环境，因为整个区域都可以接入互联网，但各个家庭之间的接入有所不同。我们通过对住房图进行析因调查，评估了互联网偏好的重要性。这种研究设计避免了衡量住房偏好时出现的许多困难，例如不切实际的主观想法，并且有利于考察社会地位特征方面的效应异质性。结果表明，人们对家庭互联网接入的偏好与对其他住房设施的偏好相当，并且不会因年龄、收入或是否有孩子而发生变化。研究结果强调了资金限制方面的原因对于数字鸿沟形成的重要性。

寻求机会还是社会经济地位？瑞典的居住和学校选择
Fredrik W Andersson（瑞典统计局）Selcan Mutgan（瑞典林雪平大学）Axel Norgren（瑞典林雪平大学）Karl Wennberg（瑞典斯德哥尔摩经济学院；瑞典林雪平大学）Residential choices and school choices are intimately connected in school systems where school admission relies on proximity rules. In countries with universal school choice systems, however, it remains an open question whether families’ residential mobility is tied to the choice of their children’s school, and with what consequences. Using administrative data on all children approaching primary-school age in Sweden, we study to what extent families’ financial and socio-economic background affects mobility between neighbourhoods and the characteristics of schools chosen by moving families. Our findings show that families do utilise the housing market as an instrument for school choice over the year preceding their firstborn child starting school. However, while families who move do ‘climb the social ladder’ by moving to neighbourhoods with more households of higher socio-economic status, their chosen schools do not appear to be of higher academic quality compared to those their children would otherwise have attended.摘要
在入学遵循就近原则的学校体系中，居住选择和择校密切相关。然而，在实行全民择校制度的国家，家庭居住流动性是否与子女的择校有关，以及会产生什么后果，仍是一个悬而未决的问题。我们利用瑞典所有接近小学入学年龄儿童的行政管理数据，研究家庭的财务和社会经济背景在多大程度上影响街区之间的流动以及流动家庭选择的学校的特征。我们的研究结果表明，在第一个孩子开始上学之前的一年里，一些家庭确实会利用住房市场作为择校的工具。然而，虽然搬迁到拥有更多社会经济地位较高的家庭的社区确实有可能实现社会阶层跃升，但这类搬迁家庭选择的学校的学术质量似乎并不比他们的孩子原本会就读的学校更高。
