Not diverse enough? Displacement, diversity discourse, and commercial gentrification in Santa Ana, California, a majority-Mexican city
不够多元化?加利福尼亚州圣安娜市(墨西哥占多数的城市)的流离失所、多样性话语和商业绅士化
Abstract
This research investigates how diversity discourse unfolds as part of commercial gentrification when public and private growth actors call for increased diversity in a city that is majority Latinx in the United States. My argument is twofold: first, commercial gentrification is itself a racialised project to manage diversity; second, the discourse around diversity foments spatial strategies used by both state and private actors that dislocate immigrant communities and economies. This in-depth case study using Santa Ana, California, provides a more nuanced understanding of the relationship between diversity and commercial gentrification in a majority Mexican immigrant city. The research finds that, as diversity discourse promotes liberal colourblind practices within a majority Latinx city, it also contributes to distributing resources along racial lines. Diversity discourse presented a liberal and inclusive form of gentrification while also providing a justification for the displacement of immigrant-serving businesses by positioning them as exclusionary or backward. The dislocation or erasure of immigrant-serving businesses occurred through spatial strategies backed by the state to make new property available in the downtown commercial area. Removal was not only physical but also occurred through assimilation, wherein businesses ‘adapted’ to survive. Planning and development actors in this case failed to recognise the value of cultural and economic community networks while also diverting attention and resources away from immigrant-serving businesses. The case provides unique insight into the multiplicity of economic and political interests in a Latinx-majority place.

Arab integration in new and established mixed cities in Israel
阿拉伯人融入以色列新建和已建成的混合城市
Abstract
The segregation or integration of minority groups is a core issue in contemporary urban fabrics. The literature tends to highlight the difference between ethnic groups while diversity within them receives less attention. This study addresses such differences by looking at Arab residents of ethnically mixed Israeli cities. Specifically, it highlights religious affiliation and community standing (in terms of being an old/new city) by comparing three Arab subgroups: Muslims and Christians from Haifa and Christians from Nof HaGalil. Uncovering these variations, we use Schnell’s multidimensional model of segregation/integration relating to 12 dimensions of economic, social, cultural and emotional capitals. The study employed 222 questionnaires and GPS loggers to track the respondents’ daily movements. The results reflected different patterns of integration/segregation between the three communities, with Haifa Christians exhibiting wider and deeper integration compared with Nof HaGalil’s Christian residents and Haifa Muslims. Additionally, the high diversity within each group demonstrates the complexities of integration/segregation processes combining structural issues and personal choices.
摘要
少数群体的隔离或融合是当代城市结构中的一个核心问题。这方面的文献倾向于强调种族群体之间的差异,而对种族群体内部多样性的关注则较少。通过观察以色列种族混合城市中的阿拉伯居民,本项研究探讨这些差异。具体而言,我们对海法的穆斯林、海法的基督徒以及诺夫哈加利勒的基督徒这三个阿拉伯亚群体进行比较,这种比较研究凸显了这些亚群体之间在宗教归属和社区地位(旧城市/新城市)方面的差异。为了揭示这些差异,我们使用了施内尔的多维隔离/融合模型,该模型涉及经济、社会、文化和情感资本等方面的12个维度。本项研究使用了222份问卷和全球定位系统记录器来追踪受访者的日常活动。结果反映了三个社区之间不同的融合/隔离模式,与诺夫哈加利勒的基督教居民和海法的穆斯林相比,海法的基督徒表现出更广泛和更深入的融合。此外,每个群体内部的高度多样性表明,结合了结构问题和个人选择的融合/隔离过程是复杂的。

Land use disadvantages in Germany: A matter of ethnic income inequalities?
德国的土地利用劣势:种族收入不平等问题?
Abstract
Environmental hazards affect people from different income groups and migration backgrounds on different levels. The research on environmental inequalities and environmental justice has proposed several theories to explain such inequities; still, it remains unclear which of these theories applies to the German societal context. This research investigates whether individual-level income differences between Germans and migrants account for objectively measured exposure to the environmental goods and bads of land use, specifically soil sealing and green spaces. Marginal effects and predictions based on georeferenced survey data from the German General Social Survey reveal that Germans with higher incomes live in areas with better neighbourhood quality. Germans with lower incomes are exposed to fewer disadvantages stemming from land use, and there is no marginal difference between nonurban and urban municipalities. Spatial assimilation in high-income groups occurs; however, the difference in low-income groups can be explained by place stratification and discrimination in the housing market. While this study uses more indirect and non-hazardous measures of environmental quality – in contrast to air pollution or noise – it provides evidence that such indicators also create distributional injustices in Germany.

Land financialisation, planning informalisation and gentrification as statecraft in Antwerp
土地金融化、规划非正规化和绅士化作为安特卫普的治国之道
Abstract
This article offers insight into the role of the state in land financialisation through a reading of urban hegemony. This offers the basis for a conjunctural analysis of the politics of planning within a context in which authoritarian neoliberalism is ascendant across Europe. I explore this through the case of Antwerp as it underwent a hegemonic shift in which the nationalist neoliberal party the New Flemish Alliance (Nieuw-Vlaamse Alliantie; N-VA) ended 70 years of Socialist Party rule and deregulated the city’s technocratic planning system. However, this unbridling of the free market has led to the creation of high-margin investment products rather than suitable housing for the middle classes, raising concerns about the city’s gentrification strategy. The consequent, politicisation of the city’s planning system led to controversy over clientelism which threatened to undermine the N-VA’s wider hegemonic project. In response, the city has sought to roll out a more formalised system of negotiated developer obligations, so embedding transactional, market-oriented informal governance networks at the centre of the planning system. This article highlights how the literature on land financialisation may incorporate conjunctural analysis, in the process situating recent trends towards the use of land value capture mechanisms within the contradictions and statecraft of contemporary neoliberal urbanism.

Remembering the river: Flood, memory and infrastructural ecologies of stormwater drainage in Mumbai
记住河流:孟买的洪水、记忆和暴雨排水的基础设施生态
Abstract
Mumbai’s storm water drainage system is rapidly transforming as incidences of heavy rainfall rise. Its transformation is built on the idea of conserving the city’s ‘rivers’ that were lost to urban development. While this move to recuperate a heritage of rivers seems like a step in the right direction, Mumbai’s drainage system was largely cobbled together over time through piecemeal interventions in an estuarine landscape. This article shows how by engineering a history of rivers, the city’s planning authorities set in motion an agenda to train the expansive estuarine and improvisational systems into governable riverine channels contained within the state’s developmental visions. It focuses on one major channel, the Mithi, to show how the rationality of disaster preparedness, the emergent calculus of carrying capacities, as well as infrastructure are braided into constructed ecological histories to inscribe a new hydrological order on the city. For Mumbai’s engineers, these changes introduce new scalar logics and alter the nature of the drainage assemblage. Mithi’s transformation is emblematic of how articulations of nature, technology and urban development are emerging from the anxieties of climate change.
随着强降雨事件的增加,孟买的暴雨排水系统正在经历迅速的改造。它的改造建立在保护消失在城市发展中的城市“河流”这一理念之上。虽然这一河流遗产修复的举措似乎是朝着正确方向迈出的一步,但孟买的排水系统基本上是长期以来通过对河口景观的零敲碎打的干预逐渐拼凑起来的。本文展示了城市规划当局如何利用河流的历史启动一项议程,将广阔的河口和临时系统驯化成包含在国家发展愿景中的可治理的河道。我们聚焦于一条主要的河道,米提河 (Mithi),展示了备灾理念、承载能力的突现计算、以及基础设施如何被纳入构建生态历史中,为城市书写新的水文秩序。对于孟买的工程师们来说,这些变化引入了新的标量逻辑,并改变了排水组合的性质。米提河的转变是一个象征,表明关于气候变化的焦虑带来了自然、技术和城市发展的交汇。
