Left-behind neighbourhoods in old industrial regions
研究了澳大利亚吉朗和加拿大奥沙瓦两个老工业区在经济转型中被遗忘的社区和人群,分析政策框架如何影响社会空间不平等和长期劣势引发的政治不满。
This article focuses on the neighbourhoods and people that have been left behind in the economic transformation of two now-diversified old industrial regions: Geelong (Victoria) in Australia and Oshawa (Ontario) in Canada. Political discontent has found expression in different ways in the two locations. This, we contend, reflects policy frameworks that dampen the extent to which socio-spatial inequality and entrenched disadvantage generate discontent within regions. In assessing the factors producing this outcome, this article clarifies both the who, what and where of ‘left behindness’ and related regional policy responses.
