近年来，（拟议中的）在许多非洲城市周边开发由私营部门牵头的大规模城市项目，已引起人们对这一现象的地理范围和潜在后果的更多关注。这项工作展示了许多这些项目的投机性质及其“世界级城市”的愿望，但也展示了这些计划将如何加剧现有的问题，包括空间不平等和环境退化。本文借鉴了50个访谈和广泛的实地考察，探讨了这样一个项目在东北部的约翰内斯堡，Modderfontein新城。本文回应了现有的研究和他们对更接地研究的呼吁，并认为，鉴于其独特的逻辑和发展机制，大型总体规划边缘城市只能在其特定的城市景观的背景下才能真正理解，并且与这种类型的项目的流行论点相反，它们并不总是存在于普通的治理结构之外。支持（推测）的结论在早期的研究中，我们展示了如何计划和早期建设看起来恶化空间不平等和环境问题。然而，在强调如何Modderfontein的失败部分是一个强大的地方国家不愿意妥协自己的议程，面对精英驱动的边缘城市发展的产品，我们认为，在约翰内斯堡这样的大规模项目面临迄今研究不足的纪律过程，可以破坏甚至脱轨的项目。
The (proposed) development of private sector-led, large-scale urban projects on the periphery of many African cities has drawn increased attention to the geographical breadth and potential consequences of the phenomena in recent years. This work demonstrates the speculative nature of many of these projects and their ‘world-class city’ aspirations, but also how such plans will exacerbate existing problems, including spatial inequality and environmental degradation. This paper, drawing on 50 interviews and extensive fieldwork, examines one such project in north-east Johannesburg, the Modderfontein New City. The paper responds to existing research and their calls for more grounded studies, and argues that given their distinct logics and developmental mechanisms, large-scale masterplanned edge cities can only truly be understood within the context of their place-specific urban landscapes, and that contrary to the prevailing arguments on this type of project, they do not always exist outside of ordinary governance structures. Supporting the (speculative) conclusions in earlier research, we demonstrate how the plans and early building looked to worsen spatial inequality and environmental problems. However, in highlighting how Modderfontein’s failure is partly the product of a strong local state unwilling to compromise on their own agenda in the face of elite-driven edge city developments, we argue such large scale projects in Johannesburg face hitherto under-researched disciplining processes that can disrupt or even derail projects.
