Sustainable Urban Development as Consensual Practice: Post-Politics in Freiburg, Germany
以德国弗莱堡为例,揭示可持续城市发展背后的政治过程,指出共识构建是一种去政治化策略,将相关政治决策排除在社会辩论之外。
Mössner S. Sustainable urban development as consensual practice: post-politics in Freiburg, Germany, Regional Studies. This article starts with the premise that eco-cities are and reflect political processes. Consequently, eco-city models are not objective manuals to a more sustainable urban world, but depend from political context. Drawing on empirical insights from the sustainable urban development in Freiburg, Germany, this article first traces the political process of modelling urban sustainability, and then shows how consensus-building appears as a political strategy whose aim is to depoliticize sustainable urban development and to relocate political decisions made in this context outside societal debate. The article contributes to a perspective that highlights the political dimension of urban sustainability.
