Planning centrality, market instruments: Governing Chinese urban transformation under state entrepreneurialism
本文定义了国家企业家主义的关键参数，即规划中心性与市场工具的结合，通过分析城市更新、郊区新城和乡村重建，揭示中国城市转型中的制度配置及其与西方增长机器的差异。
This article defines the key parameters of ‘state entrepreneurialism’ as a governance form that combines planning centrality and market instruments, and interprets how these two seemingly contradictory tendencies are made coherent in the political economic structures of post-reform China. Through examining urban regeneration programmes (in particular ‘three olds regeneration’, sanjiu gaizao), the development of suburban new towns and the reconstruction of the countryside, the article details institutional configurations that make the Chinese case different from a neoliberal growth machine. The contradiction of these tendencies gives room to urban residents and migrants to develop their agencies and their own spaces, and creates informalities in Chinese urban transformation.
