从约翰内斯堡的城市发展战略来看城市发展与政策建议

Development and Urban Policy:Johannesburg's City Development Strategy

本文试图通过南非约翰内斯堡近年来城市战略的形成过程,揭示城市发展战略这一概念的重要性。正如许多资源延伸型城市,对于约翰内斯堡来说,城市发展战略的主要目的是调节城市内部的不均衡发展。从对发达的全球化经济活动的调节到在非正式的聚居区内基础设施的设置,约翰内斯堡面对的独特挑战不仅表现在如何解决这些重要城市结构的失衡,而且在于解决相近问题的现有城市政策的讨论非常少,只有极少数的预案可供参考。由于城市资源有限,给发展战略带来挑战,有人建议去激发城市管理者和学者的洞察力和新思考。本文分析了在经济增长和发展中的政策议程、公民参与和制度政策形成过程之间紧张和对峙的局面。

This paper aims to reveal the significance for city development strategies （CDS） by exploring recent initiatives to formulate a city strategy for Johannesburg,South Africa.As well as other resource-stretched cities,for Johannesburg,CDS is to adjust imbalance development.Johannesburg＇s distinctive challenges,stretching from accommodating cutting-edge global economic activities to supporting basic service delivery in informal settlements,highlights the paucity of existing urban policy discourses-which offer few ready-made solutions for any city,but especially not to those faced with significant structural inequities.Attending to strategic challenges in cities that have limited resources,it is suggested,could provoke new agendas and insights for city managers and urban scholars everywhere.This paper explores the tensions between the policy agendas of economic growth and development,and the policy processes of participation and formal institutional politics.
