The (de)territorialised appeal of international schools in China: Forging brands, boundaries and inter-belonging in segregated urban space
国际学校在中国的（去）地域化吸引力：在隔离的城市空间中打造品牌、边界和相互归属
Abstract: This paper considers how the (de)territorialised appeal of international schools in China can reflect, enforce and expand pre-existing patterns of urban segregation. Whilst exploration of the effects of educational marketplaces on urban environments has become a focus of scholarly research, the recent expansion in the supply of, and demand for, international education has caused these effects to become more nuanced. As (de)territorialised entities, international schools can cause multiple forms of spatial and psycho-social distinction and (dis)association to become intertwined, the effects of which start from the school and radiate out from there. International schools can therefore cause segregation to become a structurally entrenched phenomenon. These ideas are illustrated through an empirical examination of three international schools located in the eastern Chinese city of Suzhou. We explore the ways in which these schools are branded spaces that reproduce socio-spatial boundaries and thus foster a (de)territorialised sense of inter-belonging amongst their students.摘要：本文探讨了国际学校在中国的（去）领土化吸引力如何反映、强化和扩展原有的城市隔离模式。虽然探索教育市场对城市环境的影响已经成为学术研究的焦点，但最近国际教育供求的扩大导致这些影响变得更加微妙。作为（去）领土化实体，国际学校可能导致多种形式的空间和心理—社会区隔和联合/割裂交织在一起，其影响从学校开始扩散开来。因此，国际学校可能导致隔离成为一种结构性的、根深蒂固的现象。这些观点通过对位于中国东部城市苏州的三所国际学校的实证研究得到了印证。我们研究这些学校如何成为再现社会空间边界的品牌空间，从而培养学生中间的一种（去）领土化的相互归属感。

The smart city and the containment of informality: The case of Dubai
Harris Breslow（沙迦美国大学，阿拉伯联合酋长国）
首次出版时间：2020/3/3｜研究论文
Abstract: I argue that Dubai’s smart city project, ‘Smart Dubai’, is a response to the following priorities: (i) the furtherance of the city’s scale-making project and worlding strategies, through the propagation of the smart city imaginary and the buildout of a smart city infrastructure modelled after those in the global north and west and used to compete for members of the creative class and other high-value residents; (ii) a project to enlarge the scope of Dubai’s economy of flow. Dubai in particular, and the UAE in general, have long articulated a political economic project based on the creation of a political economy that positions the country as a regional hub within the global political economy of flow; and (iii) the containment of urban informality, which in Dubai is understood as both a disciplinary problem and an existential challenge to what is still, at heart, a rentier economy.摘要：我认为迪拜的智慧城市项目“智慧迪拜”（Smart Dubai）是对以下优先事项的回应：(i)通过复制全球北方和西方的智慧城市构想和智慧城市基础设施配置，争夺创意阶层成员和其他高价值居民，以推进城市的规模扩大计划和世界化战略；(ii) 扩大迪拜流量经济范围的项目。迪拜乃至整个阿联酋长期以来一直在清晰地阐述一个政治经济计划，其基础是创建一种政治经济，将该国定位为全球流量政治经济中的一个区域枢纽；以及 (iii) 遏制城市的非正规性，这在迪拜被看作一个纪律性的问题，也是对本质上仍然是一个食利经济的经济体的生存挑战。

Everyday urbanisms and the importance of place: Exploring the elements of the emancipatory smart city日常城市化与场所的重要性：探索解放式智慧城市的要素

Abstract: Two of the most striking features of smart city discourses are the centrality of technology as a driver of transformational change and the strange ‘placelessness’ of its visual narrative. Whether envisaged in Kenya or Singapore, the commercial smart city is represented as a ‘city in a box’, seemingly capable of solving complex social issues through algorithms and technical innovation. Recently a robust literature has emerged that is critical of the techno-determinism inherent in smart city discussions. This paper expands on this critique by arguing that by solely focusing on the material dimensions of technologically informed urban change, devoid of context, we miss an opportunity to uncover an important moment in contemporary urbanity. By foregrounding the human dimensions of technology appropriation and the interface with livelihoods in their particular spatial contexts, this paper consciously decentres the dominant smart city discourse by arguing for the foregrounding of local dynamics. This paper rejects the universalisms embedded in smart city promises and argues that by provincialising the idea of smart urbanism, opportunities are presented for understanding the true markers of contemporary urbanism. Critical debates on the smart city, and by extension the need to consider smart urbanism contextually and as an infrastructure, relationally, together with the conceptual insights provided by post colonialscience and technology studies, contribute to a proposed frame for researching the ongoing dynamic between contemporary urban life and technological innovation. Empirical vignettes from urban Africa are used to illustrate the multiple dimensions of the interface between livelihoods and technology appropriation.摘要：智慧城市话语的两个最显著的特征是技术作为变革驱动力的中心地位和其视觉叙事的奇怪的“无地方性”。无论是在肯尼亚还是新加坡，商业智慧城市都被描绘成一个“盒子里的城市”，似乎能够通过算法和技术创新解决复杂的社会问题。最近出现了一些强有力的文献，批评智慧城市讨论中固有的技术决定论。本文对这一批评进行了扩展，认为由于仅仅关注技术推动的城市变革的物质层面，而不关注其背景，我们错过了揭示当代城市化重要时刻的机会。通过强调技术使用的人的维度和在其特定的空间环境中与生计的交互，本文有意识地通过主张突出本地动态来偏离占主导地位的智慧城市话语。本文拒绝了嵌入在智慧城市承诺中的普遍主义，并认为，通过将智慧城市的理念本土化，我们将为理解当代城市化的真正标志提供了机会。关于智慧城市的批判性辩论，（作为一种延伸）将智慧城市置于背景中并作为一种基础设施的必要性，与后殖民科学和技术研究提供的概念见解一道，为研究当代城市生活和技术创新之间的持续动态提供了一个拟议的框架。非洲城市的经验简介被用来说明生计和技术使用之间的多层面交互。

Abstract: Studies of ‘smart cities’ in Canada primarily focus on large cities but not small, rural and remote communities. As a result, we have a limited understanding of the incentive structures for smaller, remote and rural communities to pursue smart city development. This knowledge deficit is concerning, since the introduction of technology can hold a number of unique benefits for these communities, including easier connections to the rest of Canada and large urban centres, reputation building, improved service delivery and enhanced opportunities for residents. Drawing upon localised forms of knowledge creation, policy development theories, adoption and local competition literature and primary interviews with private and public officials, we examine the challenges and opportunities of ‘smart city’ implementation through case studies of small and rural municipalities in Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia and a remote community, Iqaluit, Nunavut. We find that collaboration is essential for rural and remote pursuit of smart city development and is necessary to counteract the limitations of capacity, scale and digital divides. Challenges aside, however, the primary rationale for adoption of smart city technology remains the same regardless of size: enhanced quality of life for residents and sustained community health.摘要：加拿大对“智慧城市”的研究主要集中在大城市，而不是小城市、农村和偏远社区。因此，我们对小型、偏远和农村社区追求智慧城市发展的激励结构了解有限。这种知识不足令人担忧，因为技术的引入可以为这些社区带来许多独特的好处，包括更容易与加拿大其他地区和大型城市中心联系、建立声誉、改善服务提供和增加居民的机会。借助本地化形式的知识创造、政策发展理论、采纳和当地竞争文献以及对私营和公共官员的初步访谈，我们通过对新斯科舍省安纳波利斯谷的小城镇和农村城镇以及努纳武特省伊卡路特的一个偏远社区的案例研究，审视了实施“智慧城市”的挑战和机遇。我们发现，协作对于农村和偏远地区追求智慧城市发展至关重要，对于抵消容量、规模和数字鸿沟的限制也是必要的。然而，撇开挑战不谈，无论规模如何，采用智慧城市技术的主要理由都是一样的：提高居民的生活质量，实现持续的社区健康。
