城市更新中基础设施化的社会网络建构——中国香港“妙想毡开”西营盘计划

Infrastructuring Social Network in Urban Regeneration:The Magic Carpet Project in Sai Ying Pun,Hong Kong

本研究基于城市更新中基础设施化的理论,探讨中国香港特别行政区“妙想毡开”西营盘计划如何通过技术性平台搭建推动社会网络建构的发展脉络与实践路径。文章详细阐述了基础设施化模式在城市更新中的实际应用,聚焦参与式影像技术如何促进社区转型的社会空间机制,着重阐释以影像传声为载体的技术性平台如何建构积极的社会网络,联结政府、NGO组织、居民等多元行动主体。研究发现影像传声技术平台的搭建不仅为城市更新提供了技术支持,还促进了社区信息的共享和公共资源的优化配置。基础设施化的社会网络构建有助于加强社区成员之间的联系,形成共同的价值观念和发展目标,从而推动“以人为本”的城市更新进程。

Based on the theory of infrastructuring in urban regeneration,this study explores the development context and practical path of the Magic Carpet project in Sai Ying Pun,Hong Kong SAR,to promote the construction of social networks through technical platforms.This paper elaborates on the practical application of the infrastructuring model in urban renewal,focuses on how participatory video technology promotes the socio-spatial mechanism of community transformation,and also focuses on how the technical platform based on photovoice can build a positive social network to connect the government,NGOs,residents and other actors.It is found that the construction of photovoice technology platform not only provides technical support for urban regeneration,but also promotes the sharing of community information and the optimal allocation of public resources.The construction of social network helps to strengthen the connection among community members and form common values and development goals,so as to promote the people-oriented urban regeneration process.
