Governance in Time: Spatial Differentiation and Temporal Change of Urban Development and Redevelopment in a Context of Multiple Transitions and Informal Growth in the PRD

研究的主要目的是探讨特大城市地区多重转型、城市发展和再开发治理以及非正式性之间的因果关系。城市治理方法侧重于城市发展和再开发政策，因为它具有高度的空间敏感性战略重要性，并与特大城市发展的解释相关。我们的项目将把跨学科的理论概念应用于精心挑选的珠三角东部不同城市的案例研究，并将其整合到更广泛的框架中。因此，它旨在制定混合时间和空间维度的模型。我们的项目将有助于超大城市发展的理论解释。时间维度解释了过渡时期特大城市发展的过程特征、背景和嵌入性。将研究过渡战略和制度变迁的空间影响。它们的潜在力量有助于更好地了解城市发展模式。不断变化的治理模式影响着非正式性和自组织的范围和质量，并且本身受到正式/非正式关系演变的影响。在这种背景下，探索政治重新安排的作用有助于更好地理解社会空间差异。

The main objective is to explore the causal relationships between multiple transitions, governance of urban development and redevelopment, and informality in a mega-urban region. The urban governance approach is focused on the policy of urban development and redevelopment due to its highly space-sensitive strategic importance and its relevance for the explanation of mega-urban development. Our project will apply interdisciplinary theoretical concepts to carefully selected case studies in different municipalities in the Eastern PRD and integrate them into a wider framework. It thereby aims at formulating models that blend the temporal and the spatial dimension. Our project will contribute to theoretical explanations of mega-urban development. The dimension of time accounts for the process character, context, and embeddedness of mega-urban developments in transition. The spatial impacts of transitional strategies and institutional change will be investigated. Their underlying forces can contribute to a better understanding of urban development patterns. Changing governance modes influence the scope and quality of informality and self-organization and are themselves influenced by the evolution of the formality/informality relation. Exploring the role of political re-arrangements in this context contributes to a better understanding of socio-spatial differentiation.
