自2008年金融危机以来，“留守地区”已成为地域不平等的主旋律。然而，这个术语的起源、定义和含义没有得到很好的说明，可能会模糊不同领域的不同问题和道路。本文阐述了“留下来的地方”的地理词源和空间想象。它认为，这个名称及其空间表达已经改变了人们对地理不平等的理解和解决方式，恢复了对多种“留守”条件的更相关的理解，拓宽了分析框架，超越了经济关切，并打开了对“留守地区”的“发展”及其困境和前景的解释。在重新引起人们对城市和区域基本问题的兴趣的同时，“留守地区”标签的崛起需要忍受的是减少地理不平等和加强社会和空间正义的术语和空间想象。
‘Left behind places’ has become the leitmotif of geographical inequalities since the 2008 crisis. Yet, the term’s origins, definition and implications are poorly specified and risk obscuring the differentiated problems and pathways of different kinds of areas. This paper explicates the geographical etymology and spatial imaginary of ‘left behind places’. It argues that the appellation and its spatial expression have modified how geographical inequalities are understood and addressed by recovering a more relational understanding of multiple ‘left behind’ conditions, widening the analytical frame beyond only economic concerns, and opening up interpretations of the ‘development’ of ‘left behind places’ and their predicaments and prospects. While renewing interest in fundamental urban and regional concerns, what needs to endure from the ascendance of the ‘left behind places’ label is the terminology and spatial imaginary of reducing geographical inequalities and enhancing social and spatial justice.
