规划知识生产的有效性与亚太城镇化的未来

Effectiveness of the Production of Planning Knowledge and the Future of Urbanization in Asia Pacific

笔者在评估和研究亚太城镇化与规划时,关注到“规划知识生产有效性”这一基本议题,认为规划知识的特点、有效性标准为我们理解和评估规划知识及其生产的有效性提供了很好的支撑。但是,该议题的相关研究既未能在规划知识、有效性与规划知识生产方法三者间建立有效的关联关系,又普遍忽略了规划知识的独有特性。这致使现有的规划知识生产方法与规划知识的有效性评估方法均难以回应无限要素叠加、处于动态中、处于关系中的规划知识是否有效,也不能充分理解有效性标准的本质以及实践之于有效性评估的意义。对此,整体主义理论给出的解决思路是同时性逻辑、结构性思维地穷尽整体猜想与检验,最终抓住有限的、穷尽一致于规划对象特定关系(整体)的、整体效益最优的规划知识。由此,笔者发现《2019亚洲及太平洋城市的未来报告》面对规划知识的无限性与动态关系性,没有无穷地叙述,而是结构性、战略性地抓住有限的关键进行分析,在一定意义上是一次朝向好的规划知识生产的探索。

This paper focuses on the basic topic of“Effectiveness of Planning Knowledge Production”when evaluating and studying urbanization and planning in Asia-Pacific,and believes that different types of planning knowledge and corresponding effectiveness standards provide a good support for us to understand and evaluate the effectiveness of planning knowledge and its production.However,the existing research on this topic failed to establish an effective relationship among planning knowledge,effectiveness and planning knowledge production methods,and generally ignored the unique characteristics of planning knowledge.This makes it difficult for existing methods to evaluate the effectiveness of planning knowledge production and planning knowledge to respond to the question of whether planning knowledge is valid in an infinite overlapping,dynamic and relational way,or to fully understand the nature of validity test criteria and the significance of practice in effectiveness evaluation.For these reasons,the solution given by the holism theory is to exhaust the overall conjecture and test with simultaneous logic and structural thinking,and finally grasp the limited planning knowledge that is consistent with the specific relationship(overall)of the planning object and has the best overall benefit.From this solution,the authors find that“The Future of Asian&Pacific Cities Report 2019”does not describe the infinity and dynamic relationship of planning knowledge endlessly,but structurally and strategically grasp the limited key parts for analysis.In a sense,it is an exploration towards effective planning knowledge production.
