本文探讨了水如何塑造孟加拉国城市化。虽然洪水和内涝的图像长期以来一直有助于孟加拉国的发展主义代表，但孟加拉国城市化的当代趋势越来越多地将水作为展望世界级城市未来的Vantage位置。在这篇文章中，我们探讨了水景与“休闲”实践之间的关系。以达卡为重点，我们强调了水成为某些“城市景观”一部分的方式与边缘人群在陆地和水之间不断变化的边界上航行的实际做法和运动之间的紧张关系。我们的结论是，水有助于解决注意到城市化的过程性和新兴的品质，因为其流动和过度的固有摆动不断工作，以破坏静态的观点。
This essay explores how water shapes (imaginaries of) Bangladeshi urbanism. While images of floods and waterlogging have long contributed to a developmentalist representation of Bangladesh, contemporary trends in Bangladeshi urbanism are increasingly embracing water as a vantage point for envisioning a world-class urban future. In this essay, we explore the relationship between waterscapes and practices of “worlding”. Focusing on Dhaka, we highlight the tension between the ways in which water is made part of certain “urban views” and the actual practices and movements through which people at the margins navigate the ever-shifting boundary between land and water. We conclude that water helps address attention to the processual and emergent qualities of urbanism, as the inherent wobbliness of its flows and excesses continuously work to destabilize static perspectives.
