SUBURBAN DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC SEGREGATION IN THE 1990s

ABSTRACT: Suburbanization is changing the face of urban America. A common claim is that suburban sprawl has contributed to increasing levels of economic segregation, but few studies have directly tested this hypothesis. Using U.S. Census data for 1990 and 2000, this paper examines the trends in and the relationship between suburban development patterns and economic segregation in U.S. metropolitan areas. We find that economic segregation, as measured by the Neighborhood Sorting Index (NSI), declined during the 1990s, reversing the earlier trend. However, results from cross‐sectional and fixed‐effects regression models at the metropolitan level suggest that suburbanization, as measured by five different indicators, was a countervailing influence during the decade. Metropolitan areas that were suburbanizing more rapidly had smaller declines in economic segregation than comparable metropolitan areas.     

中国城市化进程中的增长联盟和反增长联盟——以江阴经济开发区靖江园区为例

在增长联盟的理论视角下,以江阴经济开发区靖江园区为例,从参与者互动和联盟形成过程两个理论角度审视了中国城市化进程中的增长联盟与反增长联盟。在理论上丰富了我国城市中地方政府—企业增长联盟的研究。研究也发现,在城市化进程中出现的农民自发抵制增长的活动已经逐渐形成反增长联盟。其原因主要包括土地征用、不合理的拆迁政策和农民缺乏就业渠道。本研究的发现可为健康城市化和促进农村人口的转移提供启迪。     

会展型城市综合体的设计探索与实践——贵阳国际会议展览中心

纵观我国会展设施近十年规划建设的发展历程,存在的最大问题就是会展设施与城市功能的脱节——选址过于边缘化,功能过于单一,其经济、社会效益难以充分发挥.在贵阳国际会议展览中心项目中,从选址到功能组织,我们一直都在探寻一种让会展功能与城市功能相互叠加的集约化模式——会展型城市综合体.会展活动大人流、大物流、活动周期短的特征,与城市综合体功能集约、运作高效的特征,两者的结合在空间和时间上能够开放地、连续地吸引大量的客流和延长活动时间,从而使各种功能相互激活、扬长避短,获得共赢.

沿海开发区一种典型深层结构:天津泰达为例——全球链接·区域独立·自身极化

以天津泰达为例,探讨了在对外开放背景下我国沿海开发区20年演进历程中所形成的一种典型的深层结构特征:宏观层面的“全球链接”、中观层面的“区域独立”和微观层面的“自身极化”。认为,这种深层结构的形成是由“外向型经济增长-跨国公司主导-深层结构偏移”的内在机理所决定的。最后,解释了在这种深层结构之下,沿海开发区发展过程中呈现的缺乏扎根人口、区域发展鸿沟以及社会阶层分化等独特现象。     

COMPETITION AND COOPERATION IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: EXAMINING THE PERCEPTIONS OF PRACTITIONERS IN ONTARIO,CANADA

This article reports on a study that explored economic development practitioners’ perceptions of competition and cooperation in economic development. The study was conducted against the backdrop of (1) an increasing advocacy by scholars and policymakers for cooperative policy practices in economic development instead of competition and (2) the restrictive institutional environment within which practitioners operate in Ontario. The analysis in the paper is based on in‐depth interviews with eighteen economic development directors from a wide range of communities in the province of Ontario, Canada. Findings indicate that practitioners had a strong positive view of regional approaches in the present global economy. These findings contrast sharply with prior studies suggesting that practitioners are unwilling to cooperate in regional economic development. The study offers several possible reasons for a change in thinking. Practitioners also supported restricting financial incentives to businesses in Ontario, arguing that restrictions provide a more even environment for economic development activities in the province. Interestingly, practitioners’ support appears to contradict doubts about the global competitiveness of Ontario communities in such a restrictive environment. In light of practitioners’ positive cooperative attitudes, study findings suggest areas for policy interventions to enhance practical cooperative policy making.     

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT,HOUSING AND ZONING: A TALE OF TWO CITIES

Extensive economic development and central business district expansion generate both positive and negative public impacts; assessing those impacts is a major challenge for urban social and economic analysts. For students of urban politics and policy processes, the strategies and conflict patterns surrounding the generation and distribution of these impacts are of central interest. This paper examines exactive zoning/housing trust fund programs in San Francisco and Boston…the most far-reaching examples of emerging policies adopted by cities to shift pan of the public costs of private economic development back to the developer. The paper suggests that two conditions must be present for exaction programs to be implemented: (1) CBD demand so high that monies can be “creamed off” for redistribution without causing developers to “exit,” and (2) the mobilization of community and neighborhood interests to counter pro-CBD-growth advocates. The exaction programs in both cities, though not panaceas, appear to be generating substantial funds for housing.     

地域文化的传承——内蒙古乌拉特后旗会展中心

现代建筑创作在注重功能组织、形体表达的同时,亦要关注对建筑精神层面的追求,地域文化是建筑在精神层面的重要组成部分,如何将地域文化与现代建筑进行有机的融合是建筑师在进行建筑创作时面临的一个重要问题。该文以乌拉特后旗会展中心为例,阐述了在现代建筑创作过程中对地域文化的思考及运用。方案从功能导向与地域文化两个方面入手,通过对现代建筑各功能的梳理组织和对当地地域文化特征的分析提炼来促进功能、形体、文化间的相互渗透,以期达到在现代建筑创作中传承地域文化的初衷。

CIVIC CAPACITY AND SCHOOL/COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS IN A FRAGMENTED SUBURBAN SETTING: THE CASE OF 24:1

ABSTRACT: This paper uses the “civic capacity” framework to analyze an emerging school–community reform initiative, called 24:1, focused on an inner‐ring suburban school district. Contrary to the existing literature on civic capacity, we argue that institutions strongly influence civic capacity building. A fragmented public sector and weak institutions of civil society, especially when combined with racial divisions and poverty, restrict the ability of local actors to collaborate among themselves and partner with outside institutions. Despite these daunting challenges, 24:1, led by a local nonprofit with a long history in the area and a school district with dynamic new leadership, has mobilized a diverse coalition of stakeholders and built consensus around a comprehensive plan for revitalization. But stronger indigenous institutions, as well as greater support from the business community, will be needed to sustain the initiative.
