这篇文章的中心内容是考察和调查战后英国城市政策发展的基本假设。本文的基本假设是，为了研究和分析政策反应，首先必须了解政策所应对的“问题”。这涉及到问为什么，以及如何，一个特定的问题（即现实的一个方面）被定义为一个问题。此外，有人认为，一个“问题”的定义和建设包含在它的“解决方案”的问题。此外，一个“问题”（以及它的“即时解决方案”）的构建涉及一个特定的话语叙事（一个“故事”）的发展，描绘/描绘问题的演变和原因。借鉴话语和叙事分析的工作以及政策分析的最新发展，本文研究了过去30年来城市问题的构建方式，根据城市问题构建的不同模式以及对这些问题的直接政策反应，对城市政策进行了分期。
The central concern of this article is to examine and investigate the assumptions underlying the development of post-war urban policy in Britain. The essential presumption underlying the article is that in order to situate and analyse policy responses, it is first necessary to understand the ‘problems’ to which policy is responding. This involves asking why, and how, a particular issue (i.e. a facet of reality) comes to be defined as a problem. Additionally it is argued that the definition and construction of a ‘problem’ contains within it the ‘solution’ to that problem. Moreover, the construction of a ‘problem’ (and its ‘immanent solution’) involves the development of a particular discursive narrative (a ‘story’) depicting/portraying the evolution and causes of the problem. Drawing upon work in discourse and narrative analysis and recent developments in policy analysis, this article investigates the ways in which urban problems have been constructed over the last 30 years, providing a periodization of urban policy based upon the distinct modes in which urban problems have been constructed and the immanent policy responses to those problems.
