论中国城市土地开发的空间性

本文从城市土地开发的角度研究中国城市化过程,首先解释了中国城市土地开发的空间性以及权力与空间的关系;其次,概括了中国由"社会的国家控制化"向"类摩登"的城镇治理管理方式的转变,以及这种转变对城市空间性的影响,即土地开发由国家支配、熟地生产与消费两环节紧密连接在一起、短缺遍地的模式,逐渐转变成一个以地方政府为中心的、膨胀与短缺并置的土地利用和配置模式。

This is an overview of urban land development in China from the perspective of spatiality rather than the commonplace practice of reading it from the level of the city. It challenged many western -inclined accepts like marketisation and governance as well as spatial metaphors such as "central-local" and "tiao-kuai" relationships. To redress this imbalance, the paper proposed to understand the phenomenon from the perspective of spatiality, and the spatiality of governmentality in particular. It discovered that in the first thirty years of development, etatisation of economy and society was the common practice. The state was interested in etatising the time and space of human, land and other resources. Things started to loosen up in the past thirty years or so, as urban governmentality grows in importance, with the city being the object of government. The latter emphasized on the employment of spatial technologies to handle land development. Accordingly, urban land development has become more urban government-oriented.
