SPATIAL PATTERNS OF BUSINESS LAND VALUES IN CHICAGO

While the United Kingdom's emerging brand of Third Way Urban Policy (TWUP) often associates itself with a kind of anarchic vision of self-regulating and self-reproducing local communities, it can in fact be thought of as a thinly veiled moral crusade against vulnerable residents living in deprived neighborhoods. Indeed TWUP might be best conceived as a "flanking support" for the neoliberal turn in urban governance in British cities; morally commendable communities are defined as those who can reattach themselves to the "mainstream" and stand on their own two feet within the terms set by neoliberal market economics. When these morally charged interventions fail to connect locally, they have the potential to stir conflict over who has the authority to judge forms of community life. Mapping and accounting for the uneven development of moral conflicts over community is therefore a pressing concern. To this end, this paper presents a comparative analysis of the different ways in which moral disputes over community have surfaced in two neighborhoods, in particular—the Gorbals in central Glasgow and Ballymun in north Dublin, neighborhoods that have become iconic of the British approach to urban renewal.     

收缩型城市:认知误区、统计甄别与测算反思

收缩型城市是中国城镇化、空间规划与城市治理的全新命题。论文在简要梳理收缩型城市相关文献的基础上总结了当前收缩型城市研究在中国的认知误区。因人口统计口径不一致、划分标准不可比、数量属性与地域空间脱节等原因给科学清晰的识别收缩型城市提出了挑战。在周一星、史育龙（1995）建议的基础上,论文提出了基于实体地域对比与行政地域互验来分析全国城市人口的增减变化及收缩型城市的甄别框架,测算表明：全国有114个建制市2010年的“城人口”规模低于2000年“市人口”规模,但由于2000年“市人口”的偏大统计以及2010年“城人口”存在的“个别水分”,这些城市也未必就全是“收缩型城市”;在剔除乡村人口较高的“城市型政区”后,全国2000年和2010年人口处于净流出状态的建制市分别为56个和75个。论文认为：中国应尽快建立城市实体地域概念,推进城市化区域协同统计制度;要构建“时空对齐”的全国常住人口地理信息系统数据库并综合考虑各地行政区划建制差异,持续推进城乡人口的精准划分。     

1970~2008年安徽省气温时空格局变化

采用协同克里格(Co-kriging)指数模型对安徽省1970~2008年平均气温、日极端最高、低气温进行空间插值。结果表明:全省平均日极端最高气温的分布与平均气温分布基本相反,平均日极端最低气温的分布与平均气温分布基本一致,前者反映日极端最高气温时空格局是不稳定的,后者反映日极端最低气温时空格局是稳定的。20世纪全省日极端最低气温具有1970年代低、80年代高、90年代低、21世纪头10年高的年代际变化周期;全省年平均气温和日极端最高气温是70年代升高、80年代下降、90年代和21世纪头10年继续升高,但值得注意的是21世纪头10年代年平均气温增长量比90年代小0.1℃。芜湖、安庆、马鞍山等沿江城市对气温升高贡献率突出,90年代年平均气温和日极端最高气温分别比80年代增加0.7℃和0.25℃,21世纪头10年年平均气温和日极端最高气温分别比90年代增加0.8℃和1.13℃,已超过大别山区相应的增长量一倍以上。     

Policy Boosterism,Policy Mobilities,and the Extrospective City

Abstract

This study develops the notion of “policy boosterism,” a subset of traditional branding and marketing activities that involves the active promotion of locally developed and/or locally successful policies, programs, or practices across wider geographical fields as well as to broader communities of interested peers. It is argued that policy boosterism is (1) an important element of how urban policy actors engage with global communities of professional peers and with local residents, and (2) a useful concept with which to interrogate and understand how policies and policy knowledge are mobilized among cities. A conceptualization of policy boosterism and its role in global-urban policymaking is developed by combining insights from the burgeoning “policy mobilities” literature with those of the longstanding literature on entrepreneurial city marketing. It is supported by illustrative examples of policy boosterism in Vancouver: the city's Greenest City and Green Capital initiatives, the use of the term “Vancouverism” among the city's urban design community, and demonstrations of new urban technologies during the 2010 Winter Olympics that were used to market a particular vision of the city's governance to people from elsewhere, but also—crucially—to local audiences. The article concludes by highlighting four foci that might frame future work at the intersections of policy boosterism and policy mobilities.     

天山北坡绿洲城市空间形态时空特征分析

借助GIS 软件支持, 综合遥感影像、地形图和其它空间数据, 提取天山北坡8 个绿洲城市 1990 年和2000 年建设用地图形信息, 计算1990 年和2000 年天山北坡8 个绿洲城市的平面轮 廓形状的分维数、紧凑度以及城市用地扩展类型, 讨论紧凑度与分维数的关系。研究结果表明, 天 山北坡绿洲城市形态总体特征表现为形状规则, 结构紧凑。1990~2000 年, 城市扩展类型主要为 外延型, 城市形态分维数增加, 紧凑度降低, 城市外部形态趋于复杂化和不规则化, 而内部结构趋 于松散化, 与同时期我国大部分城市的用地扩展方式有所不同。同时, 天山北坡绿洲城市形态特 征描述参数间存在着明显的幂函数关系, 并且是一种线性负相关关系, 即随着分维数的增加, 紧 凑度呈递减的趋势。     

区域城镇空间格局的识别方法及案例分析

通过分析城镇之间的空间关系,探讨了区域城镇空间格局的定量化识别方法。该方法包含3个步骤：一是通过人口、产业或交通优势度的分析,识别具有较大发展潜力的城市、城镇或城镇集聚区（空间节点）。二是以空间节点之间的交通联系及其未来发展变化情况为依据,利用多维尺度分析方法展现城镇之间的空间关系（空间联系）。三是确定城镇空间影响范围,进而确定城镇空间体系的整体架构（空间圈域）。以广西西江流域7个地级市为例,运用该方法,分析了2000年以来广西西江黄金水道及区域性综合交通体系的建设对区域城镇体系产生的影响,对未来城镇空间格局的变化进行了预测。

不同时期城市创新投入对绿色经济效率的影响——以粤港澳大湾区为例

本文以粤港澳大湾区各城市作为案例,对2000—2017年各城市创新投入强度及绿色经济效率进行了测度,并探讨了不同时期城市创新投入对提升绿色经济效率影响方式和大小的变化。本文主要得出了以下结论：① 大湾区绝大多城市在2000—2017年期间创新投入强度都实现了显著提升,在此期间深圳城市创新投入强度始终处于领先地位,广州、香港创新投入强度增长较慢。② 2000年—2017年间大湾区各城市绿色经济效率的变化情况存在较大差异,处于稳定发展阶段的城市绿色经济效率通常稳步提升,而处于高速增长阶段的城市绿色经济效率多出现波动。③ 从2000年—2017年,大湾区城市绿色经济效率的主要影响因素由规模效应逐渐过渡到创新效应,创新投入强度提升对于提升城市绿色经济效率的贡献度明显上升;④ 创新效应会随着城市发展成熟、产业规模的增大,对提升城市绿色经济效率起到的作用不断增强,应将提升创新投入作为提升城市绿色经济效率最重要的手段。     

Review symposium: our common future: the world commission on environment and development

In 1983 the General Assembly of the United Nations called for the setting up of a World Commission on Environment and Development. The Commission's ambitious tasks were described by its Chairman, Gro Harlem Brundtland, Prime Minister of Norway, as: (1) to propose long‐term environmental strategies for achieving sustainable developments by the year 2000 and beyond; (2) to recommend ways concern for the environment could be translated into greater cooperation among developing countries and between countries at different stages of economic and social development; (3) to consider ways and means by which the international community could deal more effectively with environmental concerns; and (4) to help define shared perceptions of long‐term environmental issues and the appropriate efforts needed to deal successfully with problems of protecting and enhancing the environment. The Commission's Report, Our common future,was published in 1987.     

Appropriate‐ing Rubber: scalar translations in Southern Thailand

Drawing on qualitative interviews conducted in two provinces of southern Thailand, Nakhon Si Thammarat and Phatthalung in 2015 and 2016, this paper engages with literature on the politics of scale to consider the relationships among the practice of growing rubber and regional belonging. In many ways decoupling low rubber prices (at the time of writing) from a larger story of substantial, multinational increases in rubber cultivation and production since the early 2000s, a common calculus in southern Thailand among smallholder rubber farmers, or chao suan yang in Thai, of current price woes points in large measure to past policy moves by the Thai government, and especially under the administration of Thaksin Shinawatra in the mid‐2000s, to promote rubber cultivation into northern and northeastern provinces. I contend that emphasis given to such a regional‐national, in other words Thai, story of declines in rubber prices entails noteworthy moments of translation whereby rubber's scales are reconstru(ct)ed through appeals to regional legacies and perceptions of a transmission of ‘southern Thai rubber’ outside of the south.     

Are creative workers happier in Chinese cities? The influence of work,lifestyle, and amenities on urban well-being

This paper examines two propositions in the creative-class debate in the context of China’s large cities. The first evaluates Richard Florida’s contention that creative workers enjoy higher level of well-being and are happier than blue-collar workers. The second investigates the influence of urban amenities, lifestyle, and work on creative workers’ happiness. Both propositions are analyzed in relation to China’s post-Socialist, industrial, and mining cities. Based on data from a household survey, the results indicate that Chinese creative workers are indeed happier in post-Socialist, or service-sector oriented, cities. However, creative work does not explain their happiness. Stable social sites that reinforce authentic experience of urban cultural amenities (e.g. the teahouse rather than modern coffeehouses, bars, and theaters) are a significant factor for creative-class happiness in post-Socialist Chinese cities. However, creative work is more likely to explain creative-class happiness in mining cities. Further, our study found that blue-collar workers report a higher level of happiness in those settings with less pronounced inter- and intra-class distinctions at the workplace—in those places where power and status are more evenly distributed.     

东中部地区城市人口、经济与城市建设用地的非均衡与协调性分析

基于2000、2015年中国东中部地区261个地级市统计与土地利用数据,运用空间自相关模型,变异系数和三元协调度模型分析其城市人口、GDP和城市建设用地的空间集聚态势和非均衡变化过程,揭示人口城市化与土地城市化的协调程度。结果显示：（1）城市人口、GDP和建设用地的Moran’s I指数均为正值且2015年的值大于2000年的值,显示出明显的空间集聚特征,且在2000—2015年集聚特征不断加强;（2）城市人口密度和人均GDP的变异系数分别从2000年的1.38和0.91下降到2015年的0.96和0.70,地均GDP从1.32上升到1.77,表明城市人口密度和地均GDP的差异在逐步减小,但地均GDP的不均衡性却在增大;（3）2015年,共有171个地级市城市用地规模增长弹性系数小于1.12且人均城市用地小于115m²,但有104个地级市地均GDP在1000元/m²以下,表明虽然绝大部分地级市城市化规模和速率都在可控范围之内,城市用地经济产出仍然相对较低;（4）90%以上地级市的城市人口、GDP和城市建设用地三者在两个研究时间段内处于协调发展状态。     

Regional Concentration and Region-Based Urban Transition: China's Mega-Urban Region Formation in the 1990S

Since 1978, China has experienced rapid continuous urban transformation, and many mega-urban regions have stood out. But how to measure mega-urban region formation and to what extent they have formed in China, are still questions that have not been fully answered. Using census data by county, this study illustrates China's intensifying population concentration and region-based urban transition in 1990s. By 2000, three geographically continuous regional concentrations had formed in China —Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan (Jing-Jin-Tang), the Yangzi River Delta (YRD), and the Pearl River Delta (PRD). All were characterized by region-based urban transition, with their "remote rural areas"³ involved in economic transformation; elsewhere, population agglomeration and urban transformation still focused mainly on major cities and their peripheral zones. It is the coexistence of great global attraction and severe local challenges in these mega-urban regions that makes them distinct from other metropolitan areas.     

中国城市空间结构研究评述

中国正处于城市化快速发展时期, 城市空间结构面临关键转型, 相关研究日益受到重视, 研究数量不断增多, 深度不断加强。因此, 有必要对中国城市空间结构相关研究进行系统总结, 从中找出存在的问题, 以及与国际相关研究的差距。基于对20 世纪80 年代以来中国城市空间结构相关研究成果的数量统计, 将其划分为3 个主要的研究时期:① 20 世纪80-90 年代中期, 为西方城市空间结构理论引入期及国内实证研究的起步期;② 20 世纪90年代中期-21 世纪初, 为中国城市空间结构的研究积累期;③ 21 世纪初至今, 为中国城市空间结构模式的总结及新城市空间现象研究的多元化时期。在对各个时期主要相关研究成果进行梳理和总结的基础上, 对比当前国际研究的最新成果, 提出未来中国城市空间结构的重点研究领域应当集中于:转型期城市空间结构理论模式的探讨, 新城市空间现象的深入探讨, 节约型城市空间增长的研究, 城市空间结构深层机制的分析, 中、微观尺度研究领域的开拓, 新研究方法的应用等6个方面。     

2000―2010年中国地区人才优势度与经济发展的空间特征及耦合协调度分析

基于第五（2000年）、六次（2010年）全国人口普查数据和社会经济统计数据,利用综合空间评价方法和耦合协调度模型,探讨中国341个地级及以上行政单元的人才优势度与经济发展的空间差异特征,并系统分析两者间的耦合协调关系。结果表明：1）中国经济发展的地区差异明显,2000―2010年大部分地区的经济发展水平处于上升的趋势并呈现出“大范围扩散、小范围集聚”的趋势。2）中国人才优势度存在明显的空间差异,呈现以北上广深为绝对高地,以其余直辖市、省会城市和计划单列市为相对高地,其余地区为低地的空间结构。2000―2010年人才优势度的空间差异日益突出,表现为东部地区与中西部地区之间的差距以及同一省份内省会城市与非省会城市之间的差距进一步拉大。3）基于耦合协调度系统评价,把所有地区划分为以下3种类型：高耦合度-高协调度地区、高耦合度-低协调度地区、低耦合度-中协调度地区。2000―2010年东部地区“高耦合度-高协调度”趋势加剧,中西部地区“高耦合度-低协调度”趋势加剧。     

Mining History: Mobilizing The Past In Struggles Over Mineral Extraction In Peru

This paper examines how the past is constructed and mobilized within contemporary Peruvian mining politics. Beginning with an exploration of tensions existing within the mining industry's relationship to its history, I analyze how mining proponents have sought to both naturalize today's mining expansion by locating it within a national history of extraction, while also working to break free from certain negative aspects of the industry's past. The paper then examines how the past is remembered and invoked within the context of on‐the‐ground struggles at a large‐scale gold mine in the region of Ancash. I address the contradictory ways in which local history is constructed in these struggles and document how memories of past experiences with mining inform how area residents understand and critique the “new” mining economy. This paper underscores the need to understand the complicated, selective, and often‐contradictory ways in which the past is made present in extractive industry conflicts.     

中原经济区城市间相互作用时空格局演变研究

将中原经济区30个省辖市市区作为研究对象,按照由“线”→“点”→“面”的分析思路,运用引力模型、潜能模型与潜能得分模型、经济隶属度模型等各种模型,定量分析1990~2010年间中原经济区城市间相互作用时空格局的演变过程与特征。结果表明：城市间相互作用强度的时空差异明显。“线”层次上,城市间的引力和城市联结线数目的增多,逐渐形成辐射网络,引力和联结线数目的变化存在时空差异性。“点”层次上,通过“线-点”叠加分析,城市最大联结线数目增多和城市潜能等级提升的时空差异性明显。而且1990~2010年间各个城市潜能等级跃迁的时空差异明显。“面”层次上,近20多年来,区域中心城市没有变化,但4个中心城市的腹地变化明显,核心组团——郑州组团1990~2000年北扩,2000~2010年东扩;1990~2010年,潜能高值区域的空间收缩也表现出阶段性特征。     

THE VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL EXPANSIONS OF CHINA'S CITY SYSTEM

Most studies of the size, growth, and distribution of cities have been based on Western economies and have identified economic factors such as scale and agglomeration economies and level of economic development as major determinants of urban growth. It is unclear whether these generalizations are applicable in socialist economies. In this paper, I argue that institutional factors have played key roles in shaping China's city system, which is characterized by declining population concentration across cities and by tremendous vertical (population growth of cities) and horizontal (addition of new cities) expansions. The empirical analysis focuses on describing the size distribution of cities, estimating a multivariate model predicting the population growth of cities, and performing a logistic regression analysis of new and existing cities. The findings underscore the effects of urban and regional development policies, socialist institutions, changes in the urban administrative system, and state and local government interests, and suggest that they as a whole are more important than economic factors in explaining the attributes and changes of China's city system. [Key words: urban growth, city system, institutional factors, China.]     

Decolonization and the Making of Middle Indonesia

Indonesia contains about 200 provincial cities with populations between 50,000 and one million, yet they have attracted far less scholarly attention than the country's few million-plus cities. Recent democratization and decentralization have brought to light patterns of communal and local mobilization in these cities, centered on elections and other political events, that have not been seen in Indonesia since the 1950s and early 1960s. Provincial cities have talked back to the central state in ways that belie their supposed passivity as expressed in the term "urban involution." This study attempts to build a synthetic and historical explanation for those patterns by examining the social embeddedness of the state in the provincial city. Most of Indonesia's towns and cities, particularly beyond Java, became urban only through the formation of the modern colonial state from the mid- to late 19th century onward. After decolonization began in 1945, the expanding but chronically underfunded bureaucracy became an arena for contestation among the emerging middle classes in these urban centers, which lacked manufacturing. The new provincial classes were politically significant because of their numbers and their mobilizing skills rather than their wealth. They successfully seized the state at the local level. The central state, anxious to establish political stability, appeased them with substantial political transfer rents, particularly during the oil boom years of the early to middle New Order.     

中国工业废气排放的空间特征及其影响因素研究

基于2000~2012年中国31个省（市、自治区）面板数据,运用探索性空间数据分析方法对中国工业废气排放的空间分布特征进行研究,结果显示中国各省域（不含港澳台）工业废气排放存在显著的空间自相关和空间集聚效应;总体呈现东部、西部地区集聚的空间分布特征,其中东部多为高-高集聚区、西部则多为低-低集聚区,并且高值集聚现象的显著性逐渐增强,显著区域呈持续扩张趋势。在此基础上,以STIRPAT模型为基础构建空间计量模型,分析经济发展、人口规模、产业结构、技术水平和国家政策等因素对工业废气排放量的影响。研究结果表明,中国各省域工业废气排放存在空间依赖作用和正的空间溢出效应;经济发展、产业结构与工业废气排放之间呈现显著的正相关关系;技术进步和国家政策对工业废气排放具有抑制作用,而人口增长对工业废气排放的影响并不显著。
