资本逻辑主导的城市空间生产研究

Preliminary Discussion on the Production of Urban Space under the Guidance of Capital Logic

在资本主义城市化进程中,城市空间本身逐渐成为生产要素的重要组成部分,不得不受到资本逻辑的操纵与控制。以追求利润最大化为目标的城市空间生产是缓解周期性经济危机的冲击,实现资本主义制度合法化并谋求其永恒发展的一种新形式,具有历史的必然性和现实的可能性。西方资本主义国家的城市化进程,伴随着旧城市空间的升级改造与新城市空间的不断拓展,必然出现资本逻辑与自然逻辑,以及资本逻辑与劳动逻辑的双重对抗。资本逻辑主导下的城市空间生产,在资本主义的起源与发展过程中曾经发挥了非常重要的积极作用,但城市空间生产无法从根本上清除资本主义的痼疾,无法成为摆脱资本主义灭亡宿命的有效手段。

With the deepening of the process of capitalist urbanization,urban space itself has gradually become an important component of factors of production,and has to be manipulated and controlled by capital logic. Urban space production aimed at maximizing profits is a new form to alleviate the impact of cyclical economic crisis,to legalize the capitalist system and to seek its eternal development,which has its historical inevitability and realistic possibility. The urbanization process of western capitalist countries,accompanied by the upgrading and transformation of old urban space and the continuous expansion of new urban space,will inevitably lead to the dual confrontation between capital logic and natural logic,as well as capital logic and labor logic. The production of urban space under the guidance of capital logic has played a very important and positive role in the origin and development of capitalism. However,urban space production cannot fundamentally eliminate the chronic illness of capitalism,and is unable to become an effective means to get rid of the perishing fate of capitalism.
