摘要这篇文章揭示了日本国际协力事业团(JICA)在支持非洲大陆当地编制总体规划作为指导城市发展长期投资的工具方面日益增长但未得到充分研究的作用。为了探索推动这些规划的构思、编制和实施的多重逻辑、行为者和利益，我们将城市总体规划视为一个跨级过程，通过这个过程，以超越城市规模的方式产生和动员各种投资、规划和治理安排。我们通过分析日本发展合作的历史和借鉴日本国际协力事业团在马拉维、加纳和坦桑尼亚的总体规划的案例研究，阐明了这些动态。
ABSTRACT This article sheds light on the growing, but understudied role of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) in supporting the local production of master plans across the African continent as a tool for guiding long-term investments in urban development. To explore the multiple logics, actors and interests driving the conception, preparation and implementation of these plans, we approach urban master planning as a transcalar process, through which diverse investment, planning and governance arrangements are produced and mobilized in ways that transcend the city scale. We illuminate these dynamics by building on an analysis of the history of Japanese development cooperation and drawing on case studies of JICA master planning in Malawi, Ghana and Tanzania.
