Assembling and governing of habits

本项目旨在研究现代西方学科如何构思习惯，以及这些概念如何告知管理习惯的世俗治理技术。随着城市面临越来越大的压力，管理日常习惯的挑战引发了关于如何理解和管理习惯的紧迫问题。这个项目将研究从19世纪末到现在的“城市习惯”的治理。该项目将通过以当代悉尼为重点的案例研究来应用和深化其对习惯的描述。研究结果有望通过为习惯的组织和监管提供信息，使城市规划者和政策制定者受益。

This project aims to examine how modern Western disciplines conceived of habits, and how these conceptions informed the techniques of mundane governance which managed habits. As cities face increasing pressures, the challenges of governing everyday habits prompt urgent questions about how habits are understood and managed. This project will study the governance of 'city habits' from the late 19th century to the present. The project will apply and deepen its description of habit through case studies focused on contemporary Sydney. Its findings are expected to benefit city planners and policy makers by informing the organisation and regulation of habits.
