摘要在当代美国城市复兴运动中，由长期居住者和“城市先驱者”所进行的创造场所的边缘努力，现在形成了主流的城市主义。园艺和骑自行车构成了当代对城市的兴奋，代表了郊区化破坏后城市社区的复兴。本文借鉴了在加州城市的研究，提供了一个同情的批评这些先进的城市主义的前沿，认为倡导者的压倒性的重点放在当地创造了一个标量之间的不匹配的地平线上的政治行动和他们希望解决的问题。尽管园艺和自行车运动的支持者们明白自己与争取城市权利的斗争是暗中结盟的，但他们创造地方空间的工作往往对组织大都市的种族化积累和排斥动态视而不见，甚至是同谋。其结果是进步的城市主义在很大程度上与更广泛的左翼争取空间正义的斗争脱节。
ABSTRACT In the contemporary American urban renaissance, formerly fringe efforts to produce place, conducted by longtime residents and “urban pioneers” alike, now shape mainstream urbanism. Gardening and bicycling are constitutive of contemporary excitement about the city, representing the reinvigoration of the urban neighborhood following the depredations of suburbanization. This paper draws on research in California cities to offer a sympathetic critique of these leading edges of progressive urbanism, arguing that advocates’ overwhelming focus on the local creates a scalar mismatch between the horizon of political action and the problems they hope to address. Even as supporters of gardening and cycling understand themselves as implicitly allied with struggles for the right to the city, their work to produce local space is often blind to, and even complicit in, racialized dynamics of accumulation and exclusion that organize metropolises. The result is a progressive urbanism largely disconnected from broader left struggles for spatial justice.
