城市更新被视为促进社会消费与经济复兴的重要路径。基于空间生产理论,采用历史分析与案例研究方法,系统考察后工业时代英国如何通过建设标准化消费景观与“购物者优先”交通网络,将城市空间转化为资本增值工具。研究表明,该模式虽短期刺激了消费,却导致中小商户边缘化、地方文脉断裂与公共空间私有化,凸显了空间生产与空间正义之间的内在矛盾。英国经验提供的启示在于,城市更新应警惕空间同质化与公共性流失,并推动治理从增长导向转向包容与公平的“空间善治”。对中国而言,应注重文化传承与特色塑造,保障公共空间多元包容,构建协同治理机制,以实现城市高质量发展。
Urban regeneration is regarded as a crucial pathway to promote social consumption and economic revitalization. Based on spatial production theory, this study employs historical analysis and case study methods to systematically examine how post-industrial Britain transformed urban spaces into tools for capital appreciation by constructing standardized consumption landscapes and "shopper-first" transportation networks. The research indicates that while this model stimulated consumption in the short term, it led to the marginalization of small and medium-sized businesses, the erosion of local cultural context, and the privatization of public spaces, highlighting the inherent contradiction between spatial production and spatial justice. Britain’s experience serves as a warning that urban regeneration must guard against spatial homogenization and the loss of publicness, shifting governance from a growth-oriented approach to an inclusive and equitable model of "spatial good governance." For China, it is essential to focus on cultural heritage and distinctive character, ensure the diversity and inclusivity of public spaces, and establish collaborative governance mechanisms to achieve high-quality urban development.
