New urban orders of migration.Actor-networks of integration policy in Frankfurt am Main

拟议项目的出发点是观察城市移徙和融合政策的根本范式转变。其最突出的特点是采用了管理多样性和一体化的全面城市战略。这些战略将一体化和管理多样性的政策理解为城市治理所有部门的一项永久性主流任务，并应侧重于移徙促进一体化和城市发展的资源和潜力。这种模式的转变应该导致针对移民配额高的地区的新形式的空间规划和社区政策。拟议的项目旨在根据在美因河畔法兰克福进行的一项定性实地研究，系统地分析这一范式转变的目的以及在城市治理的各个层面上采用的实际做法。在新自由主义时代，这种范式转变与城市重新排序的更普遍的过程有什么关系？它如何改变德国城市中常见的城市一体化政策的空间性？新的移民社区方案重点在城市地区一级有哪些实际影响？方案变化如何嵌入城市治理的异质网络中，以及它们在这些动态过程中如何变化？核心工作假设是，这种转变只能被理解为更普遍的城市重新排序过程的一部分。然而，城市及其不同地区、项目或干预措施的实际社会和政治影响可能会有所不同，甚至可能与更一般的重新排序过程的方案意图相矛盾。在概念上，该项目从（地理）文献的角度重新排序城市的过程，并利用行动者网络理论的概念将其操作化。从这一角度来看，城市治理的战略和做法可以作为城市一体化政策的行动者网络加以分析，这些行动者网络贯穿城市治理多样性的各个层面和部门。与此同时，它允许将这些战略和做法与重新排序城市的经济，社会和政治进程的具体和一般动态联系起来。

The starting point of the proposed project is the observation of a fundamental paradigm shift in policies on migration and integration in the city. Its most outstanding attribute is the introduction of comprehensive urban strategies for the management of diversity and integration. These strategies understand policies of integration and managing diversity as a permanent mainstream task for all sectors of urban governance, which should be focused on the resources and potentials of migration for integration and city development. The paradigm shift is supposed to result in new forms of spatial-planning and community policies aiming at districts with high quotas of migrants. The proposed project aims to systematically analyse the aims of this paradigm shift and the actual practices invoked on all levels of urban governance based on a qualitative field study set in Frankfurt am Main. How is the paradigm shift related to more general processes of re-ordering the city in the age of neoliberalism? How does it change the spatiality of urban integration policies common in German cities? Which practical implications of the new programmatic focus on migrant communities are visible on the level of city districts? How are the programmatic changes embedded within the heterogeneous networks of urban governance and how are they changing in these dynamic processes? The central working hypothesis is that the shift can only be understood as part of more general processes of re-ordering the city. However, the actual social and political implications on the level of the city and its different districts, projects or interventions may be differentiated to a degree that could even be in contradiction to the programmatic intentions of the more general processes of re-ordering. Conceptionally, the project takes up on perspectives from the (geographic) literature on processes of re-ordering the city and operationalizes them drawing on concepts of actor-network theory. In this perspective, strategies and practices of urban governance may be analysed as actor-networks of urban integration policy ranging through all levels and sectors of governing diversity in the city. At the same time, it allows to relate these strategies and practices to specific and general dynamics of economic, social and political processes of re-ordering the city.
