Abstract: Prevalent notions of ‘education cities’ and ‘education hubs’ are vaguely defined, operate at blurry scales and tend to reproduce promotional language. The article contributes to theorising the geographies and spaces of globalising higher education by developing the concept of transnational education zones. Through an urban political economy lens, we review the relations between universities and cities, consider universities’ role in the political economy and understand universities as transnational urban actors. We exhaustively map the phenomenon of transnational education zones and empirically analyse cases from four cities (Doha, Dubai, Iskandar and Flic en Flac) with respect to their embeddedness instate-led projects for the ‘knowledge economy’, their vision for transnational subject formation and their character as urban zones of exception. The conclusion develops a research agenda for further critical geographic inquiries into the (re)making of cities through the development of transnational spacesof higher education that explores the relations between globalising higher education and material and discursive transformations at the urban scale.
摘要：“教育城市”和“教育中心”的流行概念定义模糊，运作规模含混不清，且倾向于复制宣传语言。通过提出跨国教育区的概念，本文有助于建立高等教育全球化的地理和空间理论。通过城市政治经济学的视角，我们回顾大学与城市的关系，思考大学在政治经济中的作用，并把大学理解为跨国城市行动者。我们详尽地描绘了跨国教育区的现象，并对来自四个城市（多哈、迪拜、伊斯坎达尔和弗利康弗拉克）的案例进行了实证分析，涉及它们在国家主导的“知识经济”项目中的嵌入性、它们对跨国学科形成的愿景以及它们作为城市例外区的特征。在结论部分，我们为通过发展跨国高等教育空间来打造（再造）城市的做法进行进一步的批判性地理研究制定了研究议程，该议程探讨全球化高等教育与城市层面的物质和话语变革之间的关系。

Abstract: The diversity of smart city case studies presented in this special issue demonstrates the need for provincialised understandings of smart cities that account for cities’ worlding strategies. Case studies drawn from North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia show that ‘the smart city’ takes very diverse forms, serves very diverse objectives, and is embedded in complex power geometries that vary from city to city. Case studies are acritical strategy for understanding phenomena in context, yet they present their own epistemological and ontological limitations. We argue for amore-than-Global-North smart city research agenda focused on the comparative analysis of smart cities, an agenda that foregrounds the conjunctural geographies of relationships and processes shaping these cities.
摘要：本期特刊中展示的智慧城市案例研究的多样性表明，需要对智慧城市进行本土化理解，以考虑城市的世界化策略。来自北美、南美、欧洲、中东和亚洲的案例研究表明，“智慧城市”有着非常多样的形式，服务于非常多样的目标，并嵌入因城市而异的复杂权力结构中。案例研究是在语境中理解现象的重要策略，但它们也存在自身的认识论和本体论局限性。我们主张建立一个不限于全球北方的智慧城市研究议程，重点是智慧城市的比较分析，这样的议程能突出塑造了这些城市的关系和过程的决定性地理因素。

Growing public spaces in the city: Community gardening and the making of new urban environments of publicness
日益增加的城市公共空间：社区园艺和城市新的公共性环境的形成
Paul Milbourne（英国卡迪夫大学）

Abstract: The demise of public space in cities across the Global North has received considerable scrutiny from urban scholars in recent years, with accounts of the loss, privatisation and increased regulation of public space prevalent within the academic literature. This paper seeks to complicate these dominant narratives of public space transformation by exploring the complexities of existing public spaces and the emergence of new spaces of publicness in the city. It uses a case study of community gardening in mundane and everyday neighbourhood spaces to provide a more nuanced and progressive reading of the relations between publicness and space in the city. Drawing on empirical materials from recent research on community gardening projects in 15 cities in Australia, Canada, the UK and the USA, the paper highlights how community gardening is creating new environments of publicness across public, private and in-between spaces that complicate both the end of public space discourse and conventional understandings of public space within urban studies.
摘要：近年来，全球北方城市公共空间的消亡受到了城市学者的广泛关注，学术界普遍对公共空间的丧失、私有化和监管力度加大进行了论述。本文试图探索现有公共空间的复杂性和城市公共性新空间的出现，以使这些公共空间转型的主流叙事精细化。我们使用一个平凡和日常街区空间内的社区园艺案例研究，提供了对城市公共性和空间之间关系的更细致和进步的解读。根据最近在澳大利亚、加拿大、英国和美国15个城市进行的社区园艺项目研究的经验材料，本文强调社区园艺是如何在公共、私人和中间空间创造新的公共性环境的，这些空间使得城市研究中公共空间终结的论述和对公共空间的传统理解变得更为复杂。

Thinking through people: The potential of volunteered geographic information for mobility and urban studies
以人为本：志愿地理信息在交通和城市研究中的潜力

Abstract: Despite the ‘mobility turn’ in urban studies, there is surprisingly little research into the role people’s everyday movements play in driving urbanisation processes. As this paper discusses, one reason this has not occurred is because understanding this relationship requires both quantitative and qualitative knowledge, including geospatial locations and patterns as well as why people choose to move the way they do. Few studies employ mixed methods to this end; instead, many quantitative approaches focus on the use of big data and many qualitative approaches remain focused on sites themselves rather than the movements between them. This methodological gap can preclude operationalising findings and proves particularly detrimental when research is conducted into areas with high levels of poverty and inequality. In response, this paper presents a mixed-methods approach to studying urbanisation, using volunteered geographic information (VGI) to map regional-scale movements in the Gauteng City-Region (GCR). Exploiting the potential of smart phone technology, this methodology operates at the interstice of quantitative and qualitative research, describing both macro-scale mobility patterns and the micro-scale decisions behind them. Using the case study of the GCR, it highlights movement as a strategy for those living in poverty, who can utilise the entire region as a resource to subvert entrenched inequality. ‘Thinking through people’ suggests that a new ontology of categories describing urbanisation processes in terms of movement could connect empirical research into poverty and inequality to theory, and be used to create an epistemology of the urban from below. Thus, this paper contributes to advances in urban studies methods as well as to debates on urbanisation, relational poverty and socio-spatial inequality.
摘要：尽管城市研究出现了“流动转向”，但令人惊讶的是，对于人们的日常流动在推动城市化进程中所起的作用却鲜有研究。如本文所述，这方面研究不多的一个原因是，理解这种关系需要同时具备定量和定性两方面的知识，包括地理空间位置和规律，以及为什么人们选择某种方式流动。很少有研究为此目的采用结合方法；相反，许多定量方法侧重于大数据的使用，许多定性方法仍然侧重于地点本身，而不是人们在地点之间的流动。这种方法上的差距可能会妨碍调查结果的可操作性，并且，在对贫困和不平等程度高的地区进行研究时，这种差距尤其有害。作为回应，本文提出了一种结合方法来研究城市化，使用志愿地理信息（VGI）来绘制豪登城市地区（GCR）的区域层面人员流动地图。这种方法利用智能手机技术的潜力，在定量和定性研究之间开辟交叉领域，描述了宏观层面的流动规律及其背后的微观层面决策。基于对GCR的案例研究，本文强调流动是生活贫困者的一种战略，他们可以利用整个地区作为摆脱根深蒂固的不平等的资源。“从人的角度思考”表明，一种从流动的角度描述城市化进程的新的范畴本体论可以将贫困和不平等的实证研究与理论联系起来，并被用于自下而上地创建一种城市认识论。因此，本文有助于城市研究方法的进步以及关于城市化、关系性贫困和社会空间不平等的辩论。
