“危机”的概念在学术和政策想象中起着重要作用(Heslop和Ormerod, 2020),特别是自全球金融危机以来。在西方主要城市,在决策者不得不应对“(经济)危机”的同时,许多城市也经历了严重的“住房危机”,以及平均收入和房价的严重分化。作为回应,伦敦等城市已成为围绕超级富豪购置住房、土地价值榨取以及越来越高的负担能力水平的辩论的中心地点。然而,许多关于住房危机的关键地理学研究都是以国家为中心的,或者专注于公民社会的影响,而对房地产行业的反思相对较少,危机在塑造制度化和以行动者为中心的实践方面所做的工作也相对较少。在本文中,我们对伦敦的开发商、投资者和顾问进行了深入研究,认为危机驱动的政策反应造成了政治风险,而整个行业的参与者都有不同的经历,大型房屋建筑商和顾问受益,而较小的利基开发商则离开。此外,我们还展示了顾问、投资者和开发商如何利用危机形势在房地产市场创造新的地域、产品和投资者类型。这反过来又需要监管部门的支持,并证明使用危机叙事具有内在的政治性质。我们使用伦敦的案例来扩大对“危机”概念化对城市和区域规划实践的影响的理解,以及这些影响和塑造当代城市发展过程的方式。
The idea of ‘crisis’ plays an important role in academic and policy imaginations (Heslop and Ormerod, 2020), particularly since the global financial crisis. Across major western cities, at the same time as policy-makers have had to respond to ‘the(economic) crisis’, many have also experienced intense ‘housing crises’ and the acute divergence of average incomes and house prices. In response, cities such as London have become central sites in debates around housing acquisition by the ultra-wealthy, land value extraction and growing levels of unaffordability. However, much critical geography research on housing crises is state-centred or focused on civil society impacts, with relatively little reflection on the real estate sector andthe work that crisis doesas a narrative in shaping institutionalised and actor-centred practices. In this paper, we draw on in-depth research with developers, investors, and advisors in London to argue that crisis-driven policy responses have created political risk which is differentially experienced by actors across the sector, with large housebuilders and advisors benefitting whilst smaller niche developers move out. Moreover, we show how consultants, investors and developers have used the crisis situation to create new geographies, products and investor types in the housing market. These, in turn, require regulatory support and demonstrate the inherently political nature of crisis narratives' use. We use the London case to broaden understandings of the impact that conceptualisations of ‘crisis’ have on urban and regional planning practices, and how these influence and shape processes of contemporary urban development.
