小汽车与大城市的空间正义

Private Cars and Spatial Justice in Big Cities

当代中国城市中日益增多的汽车造成了城市空间分配、使用上的不公正。城市规划尤其是城市交通网的设计呈现出汽车优先的倾向,非机车与行人的出行空间受到严重挤压。作为一种移动商品,汽车同时具有使用价值与符号价值的双重属性,因此,对城市中的汽车应从政治经济学的角度进行批判,要理顺商品生产、流通背后的逻辑。汽车的暴增与泛滥所导致的城市空间的非正义状况,要从隐藏在城市空间生产机制背后的社会经济与政治制度上寻找解决方案。

The growing number of cars in contemporary Chinese cities has led to injustice in urban spatial distribution and usage. The urban planning, especially the design of urban transport network presents a tendency which gives priority to the car, the trip space of non-vehicles and pedestrians is severely reduced. As a mobile commodity, the car also has the dual value of using the value and the symbolic value. Therefore, the automobile in the city should be criticized in terms of political economy, and the logic behind the commodity production and circulation that should be straightened out. In order to seek spatial justice which damaged by a huge number of cars in the city, we have to find a solution from the socio-economic and political system which is hidden in the urban space production mechanism.
