Who owns the sustainable city? Urban redevelopment, sustainability and the politics of property rights in Australia, Brazil and Chile

目前约有1500万人因城市重建而流离失所。这样的重建通常被打上“可持续”的标签，但所造成的社会不公却不符合可持续发展的原则。流离失所是由于私有产权的力量超过了不太被承认的占用土地的方式。再开发与不同类型的产权如何得到认可之间的这种联系很少得到研究，但它对快速发展的城市的发展方式至关重要。通过对澳大利亚、巴西和智利的城市进行比较，本研究分析了这种联系。这有助于更准确地理解产权在城市发展中的作用，并有助于制定社会可持续的城市政策。

Around 15 million people are currently displaced due to urban redevelopment. Such redevelopment is often branded ‘sustainable’, and yet the social injustice caused does not fit sustainability principles. Displacement is driven by the power of private property rights over less-recognised ways of occupying land. This connection between redevelopment and how different kinds of property rights are recognised is rarely studied and yet is central to the way that rapidly growing cities develop. Using a comparative approach of cities in Australia, Brazil and Chile, this research analyses that connection. This offers a more precise understanding of the role of property rights in city development, and contributes to socially sustainable urban policy.
