如果不考虑全球范围内商品生产的组织结构和物流，就无法充分理解工业区目前的发展和再发展。全球生产网络不仅有助于许多地方的城市空间和经济结构的重新配置，而且还产生了新的跨国行为体组合，从而重新配置规划进程。本文通过调查埃塞俄比亚和阿根廷与多边交通基础设施供应相关的两个当前工业发展案例，探讨了这些星座及其城市成果。在这两种情况下，国际合作伙伴都参与其中，特别是中国的利益相关者发挥了重要作用。在埃塞俄比亚的Mekelle，我们专注于通过实施全球服装生产的新工业园区以及与国际海港的公路和铁路连接，建立商品中心。在阿根廷的罗萨里奥大都市区，正在建设主要的货运铁路和港口设施，以扩大该国最重要的大豆出口港口。通过绘制工业和基础设施综合体及其城市背景的物理架构，并追踪基础设施供应和运营中涉及的跨地方行为者星座，我们分析了项目的空间影响以及规划治理的相关影响。本文有助于新兴的学术和城市基础设施和全球生产网络的理论，以及政策的流动性和规划知识和实践的跨国宪法。
Current development and re-development of industrial areas cannot be adequately understood without taking into account the organisational structures and logistics of commodity production on a planetary scale. Global production networks contribute not only to the reconfiguration of urban spatial and economic structures in many places, but they also give rise to novel transnational actor constellations, thus reconfiguring planning processes. This article explores such constellations and their urban outcomes by investigating two current cases of industrial development linked with multilateral transport-infrastructure provisioning in Ethiopia and Argentina. In both cases, international partners are involved, in particular with stakeholders based in China playing significant roles. In Mekelle, Ethiopia, we focus on the establishment of a commodity hub through the implementation of new industry parks for global garment production and road and rail connections to international seaports. In the Rosario metropolitan area in Argentina, major cargo rail and port facilities are under development to expand the country's most important ports for soybean export. By mapping the physical architectures of the industrial and infrastructure complexes and their urban contexts and tracing the translocal actor constellations involved in infrastructure provisioning and operation, we analyse the spatial impacts of the projects as well as the related implications for planning governance. The article contributes to emergent scholarship and theorisations of urban infrastructure and global production networks, as well as policy mobility and the transnational constitution of planning knowledge and practices.
