Excess aspirations: Migration and urban futures in post-earthquake Christchurch
过度的抱负:地震后基督城的移民和城市未来
Abstract
Migration and urbanisation are characterised by multiple temporalities: arrival, durations of migration, daily rhythms, migration regulation, aspirations for urban futures and the impacts of changing social, economic or environmental fortunes. In this paper, we address the temporalities of migration and urbanisation by focusing on the post-disaster context of Christchurch, New Zealand, which suffered destructive earthquakes in 2011 and 2012. While the immediate post-quake context was characterised by outward migration, rebuilding has occurred through the migration of thousands of workers and their families, particularly from Asia, Europe and the Pacific. The presence of new migrants has led to unexpected migrant-driven diversification that has potential to reconfigure Christchurch’s image as a city that privileges whiteness over Indigenous and non-white settler identities. The migration of rebuild workers, however, also occurs in a national context of increasingly stratified migration management with few opportunities for migrants to settle long-term. Drawing on interviews with stakeholders in central government, local organisations and migrants themselves we examine countervailing aspirations and responses that emerged within the earthquake rebuild: attempts by local organisations to reconfigure Christchurch as a diverse future-oriented city, migrant aspirations and tactics for long-term settlement and family stability and national government efforts to contain aspirations for a diverse future-oriented city that exceed the intent of migration management. Through this analysis our paper examines the discrepant temporalities of migration and urban futures involved in the rebuilding of post-quake Christchurch, as well as the multiple forces that impinge on the very possibility of migrant-led diversification of cities.

Infrastructure mosaics in urban India: Sewage beyond the networked city
印度城市的基础设施马赛克:超越网络化城市的污水处理
Abstract
In this paper, I illustrate how sewage is managed beyond the networked city to create infrastructure mosaics – patchworks of interconnected infrastructures across the city characterised by variegation, fluidity and non-linearity. The purpose of this work is to develop the concept of infrastructure mosaics as a way to understand urban sewage flows in Southern cities based on the lived experience of residents, rather than on concepts developed to describe Northern cities. I begin with a brief review of how the concept of networked cities has been applied to the Global South. I then explore how sewage operates within the networked city and beyond. I finish by contextualising these ideas through the case of sewage in Agra, India. The findings from this work can help planners and policy makers across the North/South divide better understand how urban sewage operates in reality, giving decision makers insights into opportunities for improvement outside the modern infrastructural ideal.
摘要
在本文中,我展示如何超越网络化城市管理污水以创建基础设施拼接—整个城市内相互连接的基础设施拼接,其特点是杂糅性、流动性和非线性。本文的目的是提出基础设施拼接的概念,作为一种基于居民生活经验(而不是为描述北方城市而开发的概念)来理解南方城市城市污水处理的方法。我首先简要回顾联网城市的概念是如何应用于全球南方的。然后,我探讨联网城市和非联网城市的污水处理运作方式。最后,我通过印度阿格拉 (Agra) 的污水处理案例对这些概念进行情境化。本项研究的结果可以帮助南方和北方的规划者和决策者更好地了解城市污水处理在现实中是如何运作的,让决策者超越现代基础设施理念深入了解改进机会。

Transforming paradise: Neoliberal regeneration and more-than-human urbanism in Birmingham
转变的天堂:伯明翰的新自由主义再生和超越人类的都市主义
Abstract
In Birmingham, a badger visits me each evening outside my front door. Five years later, a fox meets me on a city street at 5 am. Two years after that, walking along the city’s canals, my eyes lock with a heron’s. A year later, a eucalyptus tree becomes my shade and respite in a disturbed city. Months later, as I get ready to leave the city, I encounter a group of parakeets. In this paper, I ask how these seemingly disparate encounters and relationships are intimately connected as part of Birmingham’s urban ecologies and larger stories of urban regeneration – and its consequences for thriving and precarious life in the city. I argue that the tension between thriving and precarity in Birmingham (and cities like it) results from new exertions of control whilst urban dwellers establish new forms of more-than-human urban cohabitation. The stories in this paper, relating to different non-human lives caught up in Birmingham’s transformation into a neoliberal city, demonstrate that serious consideration of more-than-human theory and experience is essential to the future of urban studies scholarship.

Home-made blues: Residential crowding and mental health in Beijing, China
住房导致的忧郁:中国北京的住宅拥挤与心理健康
Abstract
Although residential crowding has many well-being implications, its connection to mental health is yet to be widely examined. Using survey data from 1613 residents in Beijing, China, we find that living in a crowded place – measured by both square metres per person and persons per bedroom – is significantly associated with a higher risk of depression. We test for the mechanisms of such associations and find that the residential crowding–depression link arises through increased living space-specific stress rather than increased life stress. We also identify the following subgroups that have relatively stronger residential crowding–depression associations: females, those living with children, those not living with parents, and those living in non-market housing units. Our findings show that inequality in living space among urban residents not only is an important social justice issue but also has health implications.
尽管住宅拥挤对福祉有许多影响,但它与心理健康的关系还有待广泛研究。我们使用来自中国北京的 1613 名居民的调查数据,发现居住在拥挤的地方—以人均居住面积和每间卧室人数衡量—与患抑郁症的风险显著相关。我们测试了这种关联的机制,发现居住拥挤-抑郁的联系是通过增加生活空间特定压力而不是增加生活压力而产生的。我们还确定了以下居住拥挤-抑郁关联相对较强的亚组:女性、与子女同住者、不与父母同住者、以及居住在非市场住房单元的人。我们的研究结果表明,城市居民生活空间的不平等不仅是一个重要的社会正义问题,而且对健康也有影响。

Do financial models reshape un-cooperative cities? On urban founder’s profit and collaborative-communicative planning in times of austerity
金融模式会重塑不合作的城市吗?紧缩时期城市创始人的盈利与协同沟通规划
Abstract
This paper develops a conceptual approach to articulate the political-economy inspired literature on the financialisation of cities with a critical reading of collaborative-communicative planning theory to recognise the active role of planners in the multi-scalar, collective ‘making’ of financialisation by cities. More particularly, I stretch Hilferding’s original idea on founder’s profit, which was associated with the financial gains obtained from Initial Public Offerings and trading of company shares in open markets. In collaboration with private investors and producers of urban space, planners in cash strapped cities and states search for solutions to invest in better cities by anticipating their exclusive rights to various streams of income, while co-promoting and extracting part of urban founder’s profit in doing so. Nevertheless, a communication that is framed around the representational spaces and language of financial models triggers planners’ increasing entanglements with finance in the transformation of cities into abstract tradeable income yielding assets. A methodological-heuristic case study illustrates how tracing the models enables us to follow the money, exposing the contradictory role of collaborative-communicative planning and demand for a project with alternative time-space epistemologies.
本文提出了一种概念方法,通过批判性解读协作交流规划理论来阐明受政治经济学启发的城市金融化文献,以认识规划者在城市金融化的多标度集体打造中的积极作用。更具体地说,我延伸了希法亭 (Hilferding) 关于创始人利润的原初概念,这与从首次公开募股和在公开市场交易公司股票获得的财务收益有关。借助与私人投资者和城市空间生产者合作,资金紧张的城市和州的规划者通过预期他们对各种收入流的专有权利来寻找投资于更好城市的解决方案,同时借此共同促进和提取城市创始人的部分利润。然而,围绕金融模型的代表性空间和语言构建的交流引发了规划者在将城市转变为抽象的可交易收益资产的过程中与金融的日益纠缠。一个方法启发式案例研究说明了跟踪模型如何使我们得以跟踪资金,揭示协作沟通计划的矛盾作用以及对具有替代性时空认识论的项目的需求。
