水-能源-食品之间的关系在学术研究和政策领域取得了相当大的影响。这种联系迫切需要综合管理和决策，重点关注相互依存的水、能源和粮食系统之间的潜在权衡和互补性。联系的应用主要集中在技术或管理解决方案上，并呼吁承认联系相互依赖的政治维度对城市规模的治理具有影响。本文旨在“城市化”联系议程，并考虑政策整合对城市治理的影响。本文考察了当前城市治理方法和影响城市地区水、能源和食品供应的权力关系的背景下的关系。城市基础设施网络支撑着这些资源系统和相关管理系统，尽管它们的管理往往是孤立运作的，很少有联合决策和规划。探讨了关于综合政策框架和城市治理之间相互作用的三个假设，以协调城市规模的综合政策框架：城市政府对关系叙事的挪用；通过综合管理重建政治权力，并通过智慧城市方法实现联系。这些假设推进了关系辩论的政治层面，并反思了城市治理在应对全球挑战中的作用。 (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
The water-energy-food nexus has achieved considerable prominence across academic research and policy sectors. The nexus sets an imperative for integrated management and policymaking, centring on the potential trade-offs and complementarities between interdependent water, energy and food systems. Applications of the nexus focus largely on technical or managerial solutions and calls to acknowledge the political dimension of nexus interdependencies have implications for governance at the urban scale. This paper aims to 'urbanise' the nexus agenda and consider the implications of policy integration for urban governance. This examines the nexus in the context of current approaches to urban governance and power relations shaping the provision of water, energy and food in urban areas. Urban infrastructure networks underpin these resource systems and related management systems, although their management tends to operate in silos, with little joint decision-making and planning. Three hypotheses about the interplay between integrative policy framings and urban governance are explored to reconcile integrative policy framings at the urban scale: the appropriation of the nexus narrative by urban governments; re-establishment of political power through integrated management, and implementation of the nexus through smart city approaches. These hypotheses progress the political dimension of the nexus debate and reflect on the role of urban governance in addressing global challenges. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
