新城市主义对我国郊区城市化的借鉴

“新城市主义”是基于对郊区蔓延的反思，90年代在美国兴起的一个城市设计流派。本文介绍了新城市主义的主要设计思想，总结了其优点与不足，并提出了这一规划设计思想对于我国解决城市蔓延问题及城市郊区建设中的借鉴意义。     

纽约城市规划的特点及其对上海的启示

美国的城市规划体系向来以体制完善、与时俱进著称。本文以纽约为例,分析其城市规划的特点及其在城市建设和发展中的作用,并指出其对上海城市规划的借鉴意义。纽约的城市规划主要具有前瞻性、整合性、导向性和广泛性等特点,它对上海的借鉴意义主要有:从功能主义规划模式转向以提高生活质量为核心的规划模式;从产业城市规划转向循环城市规划;从单个城市规划转向城乡统筹规划及都市圈规划;从郊区化扩张转向紧凑型城市规划和建设;规划实施从政府主导到全民参与。     

可持续城市理念下新城市主义社区规划的价值观

从空间公正与价值尊严等方面对新城市主义社区规划的价值观进行研究,阐述其基本理念和规划原则。通过上述原理的分析,明确了新城市主义社区规划的社会价值观和空间价值观的内涵,前者涉及人本性、空间多样性、社区平等感和社会环境协调性4个层面,后者则体现在重视公共区域的阶层平等可进入性、提高混合居住的社会平等空间的宜居性和以强制性的宜居环境标准提升社会的平等性。最后,对新城市主义社区规划价值观的理论和实践性进行批判性的审视,并尝试性地提出解决实践中普遍存在的空间不公正问题的对策。     

大都市区城市扩张过程及形态对比分析——以东京、纽约和上海为例

大都市区化是全球城市化进程中的普遍现象,研究大都市区域城市扩张进程对理解其未来增长趋势、区域可持续发展具有重要意义。大都市区土地扩张及区域间的对比分析,以及都市区发育过程中城市扩张的一般化空间模式还未被深入理解。论文选取东京、纽约和上海3个大都市区,获取1990—2015年间3期Landsat影像数据,使用梯度和格网分析法,采用城市土地密度函数和城市扩张指数,从建设用地数量变化及其时空分布、城市形态变化等方面,多角度对比分析各城市不同阶段建设用地增长的时空差异。结果表明：① 大都市区边界仍在不断扩展,建设用地在研究期内持续增长;20多年间东京、纽约和上海的建设用地面积分别增长了63%、53%和233%;上海一直处于高强度扩张状态,而纽约的城市扩张在后期几近停滞。② 大都市区建设用地密度从中心向外呈圈层递减式分布,城市核心区和边缘区半径的增长最明显;城市形态均趋向于紧凑。③ 新增建设用地时空异质性明显。东京的远郊新城不断建设,纽约一些尚有发展潜力的区域次中心仍在扩张但速率逐渐放缓,上海的核心区外围增长剧烈并逐渐向远城区推进。④ 大都市区域扩张先后经历高速期—缓慢期—停滞期,扩张进程表现为核心区膨胀—次中心及新城建设—逐步形成稳定的多中心结构。     

城市"新经济"发展的空间效应及其启示——以西安市为例

以知识为基础、以计算机与信息技术为依托、技术与制度创新驱动、兼跨第二与第三产业并以服务业居重、高度外向而趋于全球化的当代"新经济"的兴起,正从诸多方面影响和改变着城市。本文以西安市为实证分析案例,依据对"新经济"内在禀赋特性的认识,从城市"产业区"格局重构、城市办公楼宇设施增长、高新技术产业区的CBD化、产业与居住功能分区的模糊化、城市经济与社会空间的极化等方面对城市"新经济"发展的空间影响效应进行了分析,并就其对于城市规划与决策的启示予以探讨。     

新制度经济学下城市群形成与演进机理分析框架研究

基于传统各学科分析的城市群形成与演进的影响因子,依据因子作用的方式和属性分成3类、阐释三者之间相互联系和作用的机理,在此基础上构建纳入制度因子的城市群形成与演进的影响因子综合分析模型;基于新制度经济学视角阐释制度视角的城市群形成与演进的作用机理,提出其实质就是现有制度及其变迁过程中是如何影响人的行为选择,人的行为又如何影响城市群形成与演进过程中的各项经济活动（实体因子）,进而明晰制度及其演变对城市群形成与演进中的作用机理,并据此从宏观制度变迁视角、中观机制设计视角、微观交易成本视角构建了城市群形成与演进机理的新制度经济学解释框架和具体主要研究内容的设计。     

THE URBAN FOREST OF NEW ORLEANS: AN EXPLORATORY ANALYSIS OF RELATIONSHIPS

Relationships between attributes of the urban forest and the built environment and social characteristics of New Orleans, Louisiana are examined using several exploratory statistical techniques. In the relatively young field of urban forestry, much research has focused on the biophysical attributes and functional benefits of urban forests, including wildlife habitats, climatic amelioration, and noise abatement. Recognizing that urban forests are anthropogenic, the research reported here explores the urban forest in relation to urban land uses and social groups. Socioeconomic factors, as measured by census variables, are shown to be important determinants of the distribution of the urban forest as measured by tree canopy cover.     

国内外大城市的城市森林时空变化对比研究

城市森林在减弱噪声、净化空气、调节城市气温等方面具有十分重要的作用。中国城市正处于快速发展阶段,对国内外大城市的城市森林现状及其时空变化进行对比分析可为中国城市森林的建设提供理论借鉴。跨区域城市森林对比研究的主要困难在于城市区域定义的差异导致不同城市之间可比性差。论文利用强度梯度法,基于夜间灯光影像及GlobeLand30地表覆盖产品,提取12个国内外大城市2000年和2010年的城市森林数据,探究其时空变化。结果表明,从现有城市森林量看,城市森林覆盖率及人均城市森林面积在发达国家城市中普遍偏高,而在亚洲发展中国家城市中非常低,例如纽约的人均城市森林面积高达316.5 m ²,而上海、新德里和雅加达则低于2 m ²。从时间变化看,2000—2010年城市森林面积增长率在发达国家城市中均小于70%,而在大部分发展中国家城市超过了100%。城市森林增加的最主要来源是城市面积扩张,减少的主要原因是转为硬化地面和城市草地。按照基于缓冲区分析得到的城市森林空间分布格局,这些城市可以分为3类：中心城区高、周边城区低(北京、首尔),中心城区低、周边城区高(广州、东京、圣保罗等),整个城区均低(上海、新德里、雅加达)。最后,基于对比结果为中国城市森林未来的发展提供了建议。

The impact of Hurricane Katrina on urban growth in Louisiana: an analysis using data mining and simulation approaches

ABSTRACT

Understanding human dynamics after a major disaster is important to the region’s sustainable development. This study utilized land cover data to examine how Hurricane Katrina has affected the urban growth pattern in the Mississippi Delta in Louisiana. The study analyzed land cover changes from non-urban to urban in three metropolitan areas, Baton Rouge, New Orleans-Metairie, and Hammond, for two time periods, pre-Katrina (2001–2006) and post-Katrina (2006–2010). The study first applied a focal filter to extract continuous urban areas from the scattered urban pixels in the original remote sensing images. Statistical analyses were applied to develop initial functions between urban growth probability and several driving factors. A genetic algorithm was then used to calibrate the transition function, and cellular automata simulation based on the transition function was conducted to evaluate future urban growth patterns with and without the impact of Hurricane Katrina. The results show that elevation has become a much more important factor after Hurricane Katrina, and urban growth has shifted to higher elevation regions. The elevation most probable for new urban growth increased from 10.84 to 11.90 meters. Moreover, simulated future urban growth in this region indicates a decentralized trend, with more growth occurring in more distant regions with higher elevation. In the New Orleans metropolitan area, urban growth will continue to spill across Lake Pontchartrain to the satellite towns that are more than 50 minutes away by driving from the city center.     

Fragmented Urban Spaces? Ethnic Residential Areas in New Zealand Cities, 1996

Residential segregation of ethnic groups is a major feature of cities in multi‐cultural societies such as New Zealand's. Measuring the degree of segregation has been the focus of much attention over the last half century, but there are difficulties with comparative studies using most of the measures adopted. An alternative procedure which classifies residential areas according to a homogeneity‐heterogeneity continuum is applied here to 1996 census small‐scale data for each of New Zealand's 33 main urban areas, to identify the degree of segregation of various ethnic groups. It reports that most New Zealanders from all ethnic groups (defined by self‐identity) live in mixed rather than exclusive residential areas. The main ethnic enclaves/ghettos are occupied by Maori and Pacific Islanders, and are entirely concentrated in the North Island, especially in urban areas which have substantial Polynesian populations.     

The Entrepreneurial City: Fabricating Urban Development in Syracuse,New York

This paper presents a case study of contemporary urban redevelopment in Syracuse, New York, within a theoretical framework drawn from urban political economy. Our analysis integrates the role of the local state in assuming the financial risk for a redevelopment project with an understanding of the meanings and role of a fabricated cultural landscape in ensuring the success of the project. We argue that the urban landscape is fundamentally embedded and implicated in the ongoing political economy of American urban places.     

Out of the Rat Race

After the social policy reforms of 1991 important changes in internal migration in New Zealand occurred. These resulted in changing housing costs and falling incomes which led to the movement of low income households, particularly beneficiaries and state house tenants, from urban to rural areas and small towns. A survey of 404 people who moved to the Southern Wairarapa towns of Carterton, Martinborough and Featherston from New Zealand urban areas since 1985 shows that a proportional increase in beneficiary movement occurred after 1991. Housing costs, relative to income, are important factors in the decision to move for a range of migrants. This pattern of migration has important regional development ramifications.     

THE PORT AUTHORITY OF NEW YORK-NEW JERSEY *

The Port Authority of New York-New Jersey is a major actor shaping the regional development of the greater New York metropolitan area. This paper summarizes its historical development and current functions in terms of urban political economy, and offers a case study of the interpenetration of the local state and market forces.     

湘江新区土地利用结构多目标规划及决策偏好分析

土地利用规划需要综合考虑经济效益和生态效益。构建了经济最大化和生态效益最大化2个目标,并运用基于模糊集理论的最大(小)算子法求得兼顾经济效益和生态效益的土地利用模糊最优规划方案。随后重点探讨了不同决策偏好情景下的土地利用优化方案和综合效益的变化。研究结果表明:(1)对经济效益和生态效益的偏好程度不同,主要会导致林地、城镇建设用地和水域面积发生变化;(2)随着决策者对生态效益偏好程度的增加,城镇建设用地面积逐渐减少,林地和水域面积逐渐增加;(3)当经济效益比生态效益重要时,最优的用地规划方案主要是在城镇用地和水域面积之间进行权衡;当生态效益比经济效益重要时,最优的用地规划方案主要是在林地和城镇建设用地之间进行权衡。研究结果对湘江新区进行"资源节约型和环境友好型社会"建设中的多目标土地利用规划具有一定的决策参考价值。     

CITIZENSHIP,PARTNERSHIP AND THE POPULAR RESTRUCTURING OF U.K. URBAN SPACE

For over a decade the New Right philosophy of Thatcherism has directed the political, economic, and social development of the United Kingdom. The pursuit of market-dominated urban policies has marginalized large sections of the population who have remained untouched by the benefits of national economic growth. The concepts of citizenship and partnership are central to the doctrine of Thatcherism. This paper examines the nature of these concepts in the context of contemporary urban development and considers how redefinition can contribute to the formulation of policies to promote the popular restructuring of urban space.     

Forest-Landscape Structure along an Urban-To-Rural Gradient*

Human activities and forest-landscape structure are examined along a belt transect that extends 140 km from New York City to northwestern Connecticut. The study quantifies urban structures (population density, land use. transportation) and processes (population growth, urban land development) in the transect, and tests for relationships with the distribution, sizes, and shapes of forests. Our results identify distinct characteristics of urban and suburban environments based on the landscape structure of native forest vegetation. These findings are applicable to the management of natural areas along a gradient of urbanization.     

工业用地转型下地理想象与地方意义构建 ——广州广钢新城案例

在城市化进程中工业用地转型背景下,选择广钢新城为案例进行实证分析,从地理想象的视角,探讨周边村民、旧广钢职工以及新进入者等主体对广钢新城地方意义和文化内涵进行解构和重构的过程,并进一步解析地方建构与身份认同的联系。研究发现：1）由于主观性和空间实践体验的差异,不同社会群体对于广钢的地方意义有着截然不同的想象;2）周边村民、广钢旧厂职工集体记忆的嬗变,反映了空间形态、社会结构变化与在地群体的想象构建以及身份认同的耦合关系;3）新进入者的地方身份认同建立在排除在地群体的地方文化想象之上,二者对于广钢新城的地方意义和身份认同是断裂的,2个社会群体对于地方意义的感知与认同在未来还需要进一步的交流与融合;4）在社会话语构建的文化冲击以及权力和资本的支配下,外界群体逐渐产生对广钢新城地方文化意义的多元想象。广钢片区的大规模空间重塑以及由此衍生的地方意义重构说明经济、社会和文化因素对地方建构具有直接而深刻的影响。     

Air Pollution Exposure Index for New Zealand

This study proposes a regional air pollution exposure index (RAPEI) for Auckland, Canterbury, Otago and Wellington regions. The air pollution index multiplies an emission index (NOx emissions kg/annum), a surrogate for ambient air pollution levels, with a population density index (people per sq km), a surrogate for population exposure. Census Area Units (CAUs), and subsequently defined “key areas” within a region are ranked from 0 to 16. This is one method of investigating the effectiveness of air quality monitoring networks and identifying urban exposure airsheds in New Zealand. Results verified New Zealand's urban exposure airsheds and highlighted areas that may be potential “hot spots” in terms of relatively high ambient air pollution levels and potentially high population exposures. It is possible that these areas should be closely monitored. The GIS‐based maps also show New Zealand's permanent and temporary air quality monitoring stations.     

Tensiti: a social and physical development in Lae,Papua New Guinea

The implementation of an ‘appropriate’ housing subdivision in Lae, Papua New Guinea represents a new approach in creating an acceptable environment for the urban poor. The unique hexagonal design of the Tensiti development and its aims and policy implications are discussed. It appears that at least some of the urban poor of Lae now live in a settlement which satisfies the demands of town planners, urban administrators and the realities of the settlers' basic needs and resources.
