Tracing as comparative method
追踪作为比较研究的方法
Abstract
Urban scholarship is bursting with comparison. We use comparison as an explicit and implicit tool to frame our urban analysis. But how do we actually do comparison? This commentary presents a fine-tuned analysis of ‘tracing’ as both a conceptual framework and a methodological process for doing comparative urbanism. It draws on the many excellent contributions in this special issue to argue for three methodological approaches to tracing – following the trace, the people doing the tracing and the pathways of tracing – adding reflections that are not only theoretically valuable but also practically useful. In concluding, I argue that this approach of tracing highlights the endless possibilities for thoughtful and productive comparison starting from everywhere and ending up anywhere.

Art in transit: Mobility, aesthetics and urban development
交通艺术:流动性、美学与城市发展
Abstract
High-profile architecture and design, alongside integrated arts and cultural programming are now ubiquitous features of public transit networks. This article considers how and why transit-based arts and cultural programmes are proliferating globally as well as the impact of these programmes on transit and urban dynamics. Through critically analysing the discourses surrounding different transit art initiatives and the institutional structures which support them, this article shows how transit art is used today for varied – and often contradictory – ends. Based on this, it argues that we should not uncritically celebrate the rise of transit art as an unmitigated civic good. Rather, we must situate the rise of transit art within a political and aesthetic economy in which art has become ‘expedient’, and contend with the way transit art is implicated in elite, exclusionary and unsustainable processes of urbanisation.
摘要
如今,引人瞩目的建筑和设计以及综合艺术和文化项目已成为公共交通网络的普遍特征。本文探讨了基于公共交通的艺术和文化项目如何以及为何在全球范围内激增,以及这些项目对公共交通和城市动态的影响。通过批判性地分析不同交通艺术计划的话语和其背后的制度结构,本文展示了交通艺术今天如何被用于不同的—而且往往是相互矛盾的—目的。基于此,我们认为我们不应该不加批判地为交通艺术的兴起而欢呼,将其视为一种不折不扣的公共物品。相反,我们必须将交通艺术的兴起置于艺术已成为“权宜之计”的政治和美学经济背景中,并反对交通艺术所代表的精英化的、排斥性的和不可持续的城市化进程。

In the name of history: (De)Legitimising street vendors in New York and Rome
以历史的名义:(取消)纽约和罗马街头小贩的合法性
Abstract
Policy makers across the Global North tend to remove poor and non-white vendors as inappropriate users of public space. Scholars have amply demonstrated that such removals reflect dominant aspirations of the present and future image of the city. But how do ideas about a city’s past help shape these aspirations? We compare how heritage, the socially constructed meanings through which people experience history, helps forge consensus over the legitimacy of vendors in Rome and New York. Vending has long allowed oppressed people to survive in both cities. These similar histories translate today into diverging attitudes. In Rome, a city branded as a site of (white) glory, authorities banish both long-standing Jewish vendors and newly arrived immigrants. In New York, mythicised as a place of success for immigrants, policy makers cannot always displace vendors who claim historical legitimacy. We explain these different conditions through a regimes of heritage framework. Using archival and ethnographic data, we examine whose voices count more in constructing each city’s past, what stories are told, and how these stories imbricate with existing political structures. Regimes of heritage, we find, help spatialise neoliberalism, differentiated citizenship, and authenticity. These dynamics highlight heritage as a critical, if underexplored agent of urban oppression and resistance.

The relationships between neighbourhood vacancy, probable PTSD, and health-related quality of life in flood-disaster-impacted communities
受洪灾影响社区中的邻里空缺、可能的PTSD和健康相关生活质量之间的关系
Abstract
Excessive amounts of neighbourhood vacant land and abandoned structures can significantly lower community and outsider perceptions, and ultimately impact the mental health conditions of inhabitants. While depopulation, economic conditions and land use dynamics can all play a role in the amount of neighbourhood-scaled vacancies and structural abandonment, natural disaster events such as flooding can also exacerbate the ratio of vacant to non-vacant properties in cities and neighbourhoods through resultant building damage and resident relocations. Examinations on post-disaster mental health are limited, and even less is known about the extent of vacant and abandoned properties on mental health, especially within the disaster recovery context. Using survey responses (n=257) from Houston, TX, USA, from Hurricane Harvey stricken neighbourhoods, this study quantitatively examines how vacancy and abandonment are associated with mental health in disaster-effected communities. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was measured using the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 and health-related quality of life was measured using the Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) scale. Vacancy rates and perceived vacancy were used to predict PTSD and HRQOL in generalised mixed linear models while adjusting for covariates. Findings indicate significant relationships between higher neighbourhood vacancy and elevated risks of PTSD and impaired HRQOL. Further, while the average rate of abandonment in Houston stayed relatively flat, it increased considerably in hurricane impacted communities until two years after Harvey. The outcomes of this study suggest a link between hazard mitigation-recovery and urban regeneration planning to prevent neighbourhood deterioration and improve mental health outcomes after disaster events.

Social pathologies and urban pathogenicity: Moving towards better pandemic futures
社会病理学和城市致病性:走向更好的大流行未来
Abstract
While access to school is one crucial aspect of education equality, there is a lack of research on factors that influence the distance that pupils travel to school. Previous studies have failed to reveal the relationship between pupils’ socio-spatial characteristics and travel distance. This paper uncovers the multilevel structure, ignored hitherto, that underpins the determinants of pupils’ travel distance. Using detailed travel survey data for Beijing and an appropriate multilevel modelling approach, this research reveals that contextual variation remains, having taken account of compositional (individual-level) variables; and that contextual factors, that is, school density and neighbourhood context, are more influential when compared with individual-level factors except for education stage and housing type. The policy implications include improved planning for schools in comparatively deprived areas, increased provision of affordable housing and enhanced education opportunities for migrant children.
在本文中,我们建议重新思考未来如何更好地阐明造成不平等的社会经济和政治因素,进而,我们指出需要进行哪些更广泛、更深入的变革,才能在未来先发制人地、而不是消极被动地控制流行病。为此,我们认为需要一种更全面、灵活和精辟的方法,即一种解释学框架,其将分析和行动专注在上游干预以及必需的多方面相互关系上,以防止人命(当前被认为是可任意对待的)损失。主流的公共卫生和流行病学方法,即健康和流行病的社会决定因素论,被证明不太可能推动结构性变革或实现先发制人的应对,与此不同的是,我们提出了致病性理论框架并将其应用于城市环境,一方面回答有关微生物之间相互关系的问题,另一方面则回答有关城市的、社会的、政治的、意识形态的、全球的、科学的、经济的和许多其他关系的问题,这些关系将这些微生物激发为病原体。通过在美国和土耳其的两个案例研究中使用致病性理论,我们将重点从应对微生物转移到更好地了解是什么使这些微生物,甚至是为阻止它们而实施的干预措施如此具有破坏性。
