本文研究了当代孟买的高架交通基础设施工程。它认为,过去20多年来,孟买立交桥和天桥的概念、建设和实施,一直是精英努力的一部分,目的是向城市灌输一个更加自由流动、可预测和监管的城市。组成这些工程方案的技术、常规、标准和可视化承诺了将孟买的社会物质结构和日常景观重塑为一个更可知、更具功能性和更综合的领域的方法。这篇文章建议,这可以被分析理解为一种手段,试图在孟买建立和保持“正式”的理想、市民和空间,而不是在被认为越来越“非正式”的更广泛的城市环境中。因此,文章强调了探索“非正式”和“正式”如何通过物质实践和程序积极地产生和相互对立的重要性,以及城市工程在试图重新配置城市生活的社会和政治维度方面的核心作用。
This article investigates the engineering of elevated transport infrastructure in contemporary Mumbai. It argues that the conception, construction and implementation of flyovers and skywalks in Mumbai over the past 20 years has been part of elite efforts seeking to instil a more free‐flowing, predictable and regulated city. The techniques, routines, standards and visualizations comprising these engineering schemes have promised ways of reshaping the socio‐material configurations and everyday landscapes of Mumbai into a more knowable, functional and integrated realm. The article suggests that this can be understood analytically as a means of trying to establish and maintain ‘formal’ ideals, citizens and spaces in Mumbai against wider urban contexts perceived as increasingly ‘informal’. The article thus emphasizes the importance of exploring how the ‘informal’ and ‘formal’ are actively produced and imagined against each other through material practices and procedures, and the central role of urban engineering in attempts at reconfiguring the social and political dimensions of urban life.
