Informality through the state: How overregulation and tolerance shape informal land development in metropolitan Brazil
经由政府产生的非正规性：过度监管和纵容如何影响巴西大都市的非正规土地开发
João Tonucci（巴西米纳斯吉拉斯联邦大学）The relationship between the state and informal land development in Global South metropolises has yet not received much attention in urban studies. Concerning that knowledge gap, this paper investigates how the state regulates and inspects irregular and clandestine land subdivisions in the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte (MRBH). A mixed-methods approach, focused on the inner workings of the land development control policy led by the MRBH Agency between 2009 and 2018, provides new evidence of the relationships between inspectors, developers, and prosecutors, among other actors. By delving deep into the intricate nexus between a changing regulatory landscape and the bureaucratic, street-level, and everyday enforcement practices by officials, the paper reveals how land development control, directly and indirectly, shapes informal land development in the MRBH. Particularly, it sheds light on how land development control unrolls through a contradictory combination of overregulation on one side and tolerance on the other. In light of this, I argue that, as land development control evolves without effectively tackling the land question and the structural drivers of informality, the state becomes paradoxically entangled in the production of the same forms of informality it is expected to curb. Therefore, land development control is better understood as a fragile and ambivalent state compromise between the need to regulate urban expansion and market-driven informal urbanisation. By creating opportunities for rent extraction and capital accumulation which are explored by informal land developers, the state has been crucial for property-led informal urbanisation in metropolitan Brazil.
从事城市研究的研究者尚未对全球南方大都市中的政府与非正规土地开发之间的关系有太多关注。为了填补这方面的知识空缺，本文考察了巴西贝洛奥里藏特大都市区 (MRBH) 的政府如何监管和检查不规范的私下土地再分割。本文采用混合研究方法，重点关注 2009 年至 2018 年间 MRBH 政府机构主导的土地开发控制政策的内部运作，为检查员、开发商、检察官以及其他参与者之间的关系提供了新的证据。本文通过深入研究不断变化的监管环境与官员在政府、街道及日常层面的执法实践之间错综复杂的关系，揭示了土地开发控制如何直接和间接地影响 MRBH 的非正规土地开发。本文尤其揭示了土地开发控制如何通过一方面过度监管、另一方面又容忍的矛盾结合来展开。有鉴于此，本文认为，如果随着土地开发控制的发展，土地问题和非正规性的结构性驱动因素得不到有效解决，政府就会矛盾地卷入其本应遏制的相同形式的非正规性生产中。因此，土地开发控制可以更好地被理解为政府在城市扩张监管的必要性和市场驱动的非正规城市化之间的脆弱而矛盾的妥协。通过为非正规土地开发商所寻求的租金抽取和资本积累创造机会，政府在巴西大都市区以房地产为主导的非正规城市化中扮演了至关重要的角色。

重新获得数据以改善城市治理：巴塞罗那的新数据政策
Fernando Fernandez-Monge（英国伦敦大学学院；美国哈佛大学）Cities today are key sites for the operation of global digital marketplaces. It is on the curbsides and at the intersections of cities where technology companies and digital platforms gain access to valuable urban data to be used in the delivery of data-driven services. In this context, urban data ownership and control have become a central policy arena for smart city governance. This article argues that, given the increased policy activism by city governments, there is an urgent need to better understand the key goals and instruments deployed by cities to resist corporate control of urban data. It first reviews the treatment of the topic by different strands in the literature on smart city governance and then uses the ‘New Data Deal’ programme launched by the city of Barcelona to draw empirical data from one of the author’s involvement leading the programme, interviews with actors involved in the programme as well as from key policy and evaluation documents. By studying the design and implementation of Barcelona’s ‘New Data Deal’, an early mover and leading reference in the academic and policy debates, the article presents the key successes, limitations and tensions faced by a city government trying to regain access and control over urban data, including a reflection on the role that city governments can play in shaping a global agenda around improved data governance.当今的城市是全球数字市场运营的关键场所。正是在城市的各处街沿和路口，技术公司和数字平台得以访问宝贵的城市数据，用于提供数据驱动的服务。在此背景下，城市数据所有权和控制权已成为智慧城市治理的核心政策领域。本文认为，鉴于城市政府的政策积极性不断增强，它们迫切需要更好地了解城市为抵制企业控制城市数据而部署的关键目标和措施。本文首先回顾了智慧城市治理文献对该主题从不同方面进行的处理，然后利用巴塞罗那市发起的“新数据政策”计划获取实证数据。数据来源包括：参与领导该计划的一位作者，对该计划的参与者的访谈，以及关键政策和评估文件。通过研究巴塞罗那市的“新数据政策”计划的设计和实施（作为学术和政策争论中的先行案例和领先参考），本文介绍了市政府在试图重新获得对城市数据的访问权和控制权时所取得的关键成功，以及面临的局限因素和压力，并反思市政府在塑造面向改进数据治理的全球议程方面可以发挥的作用。

（非）正规再征用：日常需求与欲望在澳大利亚墨尔本的住宅小巷中的空间化体现
This paper engages in critical debate with urban informality in interstitial urban spaces through the lens of micro-scalar spatial practices motivated by everyday needs and desires. The aim is to examine the generative potential of small-scale reappropriations to change the functions, meanings and governing policies of undervalued urban spaces. An empirical focus is taken on residential alleys in inner-city neighbourhoods of Melbourne, Australia. Remnants of 19th-century sanitation and drainage infrastructure, these alleys are now underdetermined spaces of manifold functions and meanings. Drawing from extensive fieldwork documentation and interviews, this study maps and interrogates the interplay of formal and informal spatial practices. Formal practices, driven by assertion of authority rather than vision for public space, operate like Bourdieu’s habitus. Informal practices, driven by everyday needs and desires, have a teleoaffective dimension that can modify the social field in which these dispositions are formed and thereby alter habitus.本文通过日常需求和欲望驱动的微观尺度空间实践的视角，对城市间隙空间中的城市非正规性进行了批判性讨论。目的是考察小规模再征用的生成潜力，以改变价值被低估的城市空间的功能、意义和治理政策。本文实证研究的重点是澳大利亚墨尔本内城街区的住宅小巷。这些小巷还有着十九世纪卫生和排水基础设施，如今已成为拥有多种功能和意义的欠定空间。本文通过大量的实地文献记录和访谈，对正规和非正规空间实践的相互作用进行了描绘和考察。正规实践是由权威主张所驱动的，而不是由公共空间愿景驱动，其运作方式与布迪厄（Bourdieu）的 “惯习”（habitus）如出一辙。由日常需求和欲望驱动的非正式实践具有目的情感维度，可以改变形成这些意向的社会场域，从而改变惯习。

Abstract
Chinese cities are making a name for themselves through what Guthman calls an ‘accumulation by spectacle’. Studies elucidate the fast change of the urban fabric and the interconnection of commercial profits with pro-state propaganda during mega-events. The spectacle appears as a once-in-lifetime chance for a city, orchestrated during a specific time and in purpose-built venues. This article, however, argues that efforts of spectacularisation expand to everyday life. I take the marginalisation of the urban poor in Guangzhou, that is, street vendors and beggars, as a starting point to understand governmental ideals, strategies and patterns of controlling public space. The data is based on fieldwork, government documents, yearbooks and newspapers. Engaging in the discussion on what Debord termed the ‘society of the spectacle’, I explain how urban management concentrates on areas serving (1) tourism and commerce, (2) memorial politics, (3) government relations and (4) transport and traffic; and follows the pulse of (1) annual events and seasonal holidays, (2) recurring political dates, (3) exceptional mega-events and (4) regular urban development campaigns. These zones and periods of increased control intertwine and culminate in an ‘ideal’ public space excluding poverty and other elements contesting the city’s success images.
中国城市正在通过古斯曼（Guthman）所说的“景观积累”而声名鹊起。众多研究阐明了城市结构的快速变化以及商业利润与大型活动期间亲国家宣传的相互联系。在特定时间和专门建造的场馆中精心策划的景观，对于一个城市来说，似乎是千载难逢的机会。然而，本文认为，打造景观的努力扩展到了日常生活。本文以广州城市贫民（即街头小贩和乞丐）的边缘化为切入点来了解政府控制公共空间的理想、策略和模式。本文所用数据基于实地调查、政府文件、年鉴和报纸。本文讨论了德波（Debord）所说的“景观社会”，解释了城市管理如何集中于以下领域：（1）旅游和商业，（2）纪念政治，（3）政府关系以及（4）运输和交通；并遵循以下活动的节奏：(1) 年度活动和季节性假期、(2) 经常性的政治日期、(3) 特殊的大型活动以及 (4) 定期的城市发展活动。这些加强控制的区域和时期相互交织，最终形成一个排除贫困和其他影响城市成功形象因素的“理想”公共空间。

“非正规/正规夜生活城市”：从南欧角度更新夜生活研究的研究议程
Begoña Aramayona（英国谢菲尔德大学）Valeria Guarneros-Meza（英国谢菲尔德大学）During the last three decades, nightlife policies in Southern European cities have been directed towards promoting the night as a space–time for tourism-oriented promotion. At the same time, highly precarious, often racialised migrant actors performing informal activities during the night have been (re-)criminalised, put under surveillance and persecuted by public discourse and policy-making. The Covid-19 pandemic has revealed the centrality of ‘the night’ as a fundamental cornerstone for urban governance. However, analysis of how debates on urban nightlife dialogue with frameworks on urban in/formality, security and governance during the day require a more systematic analysis. In this commentary, we call into question the role of the in/formal urban night in ordering neoliberal cities in Southern Europe. By focussing on informal workers during the night as exemplar cases of how in/formal nocturnal governance is produced, we propose an approach to incorporate deeper explorations in future nightlife studies along three avenues: (i) contradictory public discourses encompassed by ‘the night’, and how they are affected by long-term cultural, neo-colonial legacies and ‘darkness’ archetypes; (ii) survival and resistance strategies conducted by precarious/subaltern nocturnal actors during the day and night; and (iii) urban governance arrangements shaping and being shaped by the in/formal night in contemporary ‘Fortress Europe’. The research agenda suggested in this critical commentary aims to be a provocation, not only for nightlife scholars, but also for broader urban studies to take into deeper consideration how the criminalisation of ‘In/formal Nocturnal Cities’ is used in governance processes in contemporary (post-)pandemic cities.摘要
在过去的三十年里，南欧城市的夜生活政策一直致力于将夜晚作为旅游宣传的时空进行推广。与此同时，在夜间从事非正式活动的高度不稳定的，往往是种族化的流动行动者被（重新）判定为不合法的，受到公共言论和政策制定的监控和迫害。新冠疫情揭示了“夜晚”作为城市治理基石的核心地位。然而，关于城市夜生活的讨论如何与白天的城市非正规性/正规性、安全和治理框架进行对话，还需要进行更系统的分析。在这篇论文中，我们对非正规/正规城市夜晚在南欧新自由主义城市秩序中的作用提出了质疑。通过重点关注夜间非正规工作者，将其作为非正规/正规夜间治理是如何实施的范例，我们提出了一种方法，在未来的夜生活研究中沿着以下三个途径进行更深入的探索：(i) “夜晚”所包含的相互矛盾的公共话语，以及它们如何受到长期文化、新殖民主义遗产和 “黑暗”原型的影响；(ii) 不稳定的/底层夜生活参与者在白天和夜晚所采取的生存和抵抗策略；以及 (iii) 在当代“欧洲堡垒”中，影响非正规/正规夜晚，并受其影响的城市治理安排。本论文提出的研究议程不仅是对夜生活研究学者的研究提出质疑，也是对更广泛的城市研究提出质疑，以更深入地考虑 "非正规/正规夜生活城市"的非合法化在当代（后）疫情城市的治理过程中是如何被使用的。
