Abstract: This study explores the socio-political shaping of Chinese smart urbanism by examining the power relations between the government (national and municipal), private firms and citizens embedded in smartmentality. Our exploration begins with teasing out key analytical standpoints of Alberto Vanolo’s concept of smartmentality applied in neoliberal practices of smart urbanism. Through this analytical framework, we conceptualise Chinafied smartmentality and illustrate how it is actually playing out in China by undertaking documentary research and in-depth interviews from an inductive case study of the Smart Transportation System (STS) in the city of Shijiazhuang. We observe that the idea of Chinafication extends smartmentality with a focus on the power dynamic. We further argue that this Chinafied smartmentality implies uncritical technological solutionism that is state-steered in nature, and citizen participation in digital platforms that is performed with limited roles and power for inclusion. The article concludes by calling for future research on the critical examination of value co-creation for shaping a truly citizen-centric mode of governance in Chinese smart urbanism.

摘要:本项研究通过考察智慧思维(smartmentality)中所嵌入的政府(国家政府和市政府)、私营企业和公民之间的权力关系,探讨了中国智慧城市化的社会政治塑造。我们探索的出发点是对阿尔贝托·瓦诺洛(Alberto Vanolo)的智慧思维概念在智慧城市化的新自由主义实践中应用的关键分析观点进行梳理。凭借这一分析框架,我们通过对石家庄市智慧交通系统(STS)进行归纳案例研究(包括文献研究和深入访谈),将中国化智慧思维概念化并说明它是如何在中国实际发挥作用的。我们观察到,中国化的想法扩展了智慧思维,重点关注权力动态。我们进一步认为,这种中国化的智慧思维本质上是一种国家主导的、不加批判的技术解决方案主义,以及公民在参与数字平台方面的作用与包容性权力的有限性。本文最后呼吁未来的研究对价值共创进行批判性检验,以在中国智慧城市化过程中塑造真正以公民为中心的治理模式。

摘要:在过去几十年里,医院的角色发生了重大变化,“医疗城市”已成为中国一种新的城市现象。然而,关于医疗城市对中国城市化的影响的研究很有限。本文将中国的医疗城市置于国家创业主义理论的背景下考虑,并重新思考医疗保健行业中的消费主义。本文特别关注国家与市场以及生产与消费的二元关系,我们认为国家为医疗保健行业中消费主义的兴起设计了制度和市场合法性,并使得医疗城市能够利用高端医疗服务的提供和消费来推进医疗改革并抓住经济发展机会。上海新虹桥国际医学中心的案例研究就证实了这一点,该研究重点关注医疗城市的公私合作关系。研究发现,虽然医疗城市的生产基于私营部门的参与,但国家通过公私合作关系参与医疗城市的治理,这反映了国家创业主义的特点。这些发现为中国城市化理论增添了新的材料,并对中国城市的未来有重要影响。

Compact living or policy inaction? Effects of urban density and lockdown on the Covid-19 outbreak in the US

紧凑生活还是政策不作为?城市密度和封锁对美国Covid-19爆发的影响

Abstract: The coronavirus pandemic has reignited the debate over urban density. Popular media has been quick to blame density as a key contributor to rapid disease transmission, questioning whether compact cities are still a desirable planning goal. Past research on the density–pandemic connection have produced mixed results. This article offers a critical perspective on this debate by unpacking the effects of alternative measures of urban density, and examining the impacts of mandatory lockdowns and the stringency of other government restrictions on cumulative Covid-19 infection and mortality rates during the early phase of the pandemic in the US. Our results show a consistent positive effect of density on Covid-19 outcomes across urban areas during the first six months of the outbreak. However, we find modest variations in the density–pandemic relationship depending on how densities are measured. We also find relatively longer duration mandatory lockdowns to be associated with lower infection and mortality rates, and lockdown duration’s effect to be relatively more pronounced in high-density urban areas. Moreover, we find that the timing of lockdown imposition and the stringency of the government’s response additionally influence Covid-19 outcomes, and that the effects vary by urban density. We argue that the adverse impact of density on pandemics could be mitigated by adopting strict lockdowns and other stringent human mobility and interaction restriction policies in a spatially targeted manner. Our study helps to inform current and future government policies to contain the virus, and to make our cities more resilient against future shocks and threats.

摘要:新冠疫情重新激起了关于城市密度的争论。大众媒体马上将矛头指向了城市密度,认为其是疾病快速传播的关键因素,对紧凑型城市是否仍然是理想的规划目标提出了质疑。之前关于城市密度与疫情之间关系的研究得出的结论不一。本文针对这场争论提供了一个批判性的视角,分析了城市密度替代措施的影响,并研究了强制封锁和其他政府限制措施的严格度对美国新冠肺炎疫情早期累积感染率和死亡率的影响。我们的结果表明,在疫情爆发的前6个月,城市密度与整个城市地区的新冠肺炎感染结果呈一致的正相关。然而,我们发现,不同的城市密度测量方式得出的城市密度与疫情的关系存在适度差异。我们还发现,相对较长的强制封锁时间与较低的感染率和死亡率有关,而在高密度城市地区,封锁时间的影响相对更为明显。此外,我们发现实施封锁的时机和政府应对措施的严格程度还影响新冠肺炎的传播结果,并且影响因城市密度而异。我们认为,针对特定空间,通过采取严格的封锁以及其他严格的人员流动和交往限制政策,可以减轻因为密度而造成的流行病传播的不利影响。我们的研究有助于为政府当前和未来遏制病毒的政策提供参考,并使我们的城市在面对未来的冲击和威胁时更具韧性。

Centring the periphery in urban studies: Notes towards a research agenda on peripheral centralities

在城市研究中以郊区为中心——对外围中心性研究议程的说明

Abstract: Based on presentations across two days as part of an Urban Studies Foundation-funded seminar series, we elaborate a thematic agenda for considering the centrality of urban peripheries. We move beyond a typology of suburban centres to depict senses of peripheral centrality in terms of: their pervasiveness; their visibility across multiple scales; their underlying social relations; the agency exerted in their imagining and production, and the associated policy mobility.

摘要:作为城市研究基金会(Urban Studies Foundation)资助的系列研讨会的一部分,我们以两天的讲座为基础,详细阐述了一个研究城市周边的中心性的主题议程。我们超越了郊区中心的类型学,从以下方面来描述外围中心性的意义:它们的普遍性;它们不同程度的可见性;它们潜在的社会关系;在它们的设想和生产中起作用的机构,以及相关的政策流动性。
