在世界各地的许多城市，我们目前正在目睹一系列正在重塑城市空间的微空间城市实践的增长和兴趣。这些做法包括以下行动：游击和社区园艺；住房和零售合作社；快闪族和其他冲击战术；社会经济和易货贸易计划；出于一系列目的而占用废弃建筑物的“空置空间”运动；涂鸦/街头艺术、滑板和跑酷等亚文化实践；等等。本文提出的问题是：这种做法在多大程度上构成了一种新的城市政治形式，可能会催生一个更加公正和民主的城市？在回答这个问题时，文章从“城市权”的角度思考了这些所谓的“DIY城市主义”。在批判性地评估了这一概念之后，文章认为，为了让DIY城市主义实践通过占用城市空间来产生更广泛的城市政治，他们还需要在城市居民平等的基础上维护新形式的城市权威。通过对悉尼激进团体 BUGA UP 以及纽约和马德里街头广告收购组织的 DIY 实践的分析，可以说明这一主张。
In many cities around the world we are presently witnessing the growth of, and interest in, a range of micro-spatial urban practices that are reshaping urban spaces. These practices include actions such as: guerrilla and community gardening; housing and retail cooperatives; flash mobbing and other shock tactics; social economies and bartering schemes; 'empty spaces' movements to occupy abandoned buildings for a range of purposes; subcultural practices like graffiti/street art, skateboarding and parkour; and more. This article asks: to what extent do such practices constitute a new form of urban politics that might give birth to a more just and democratic city? In answering this question, the article considers these so-called 'do-it-yourself urbanisms' from the perspective of the 'right to the city'. After critically assessing that concept, the article argues that in order for do-it-yourself urbanist practices to generate a wider politics of the city through the appropriation of urban space, they also need to assert new forms of authority in the city based on the equality of urban inhabitants. This claim is illustrated through an analysis of the do-it-yourself practices of Sydney-based activist collective BUGA UP and the New York and Madrid Street Advertising Takeovers.
