Monarchy and urban change: The post-independence development of the Pesanggrahan Ambarrukmo, Yogyakarta
研究了印度尼西亚日惹苏丹国在安巴鲁克莫皇家园林从皇家花园到国际酒店再到大型购物中心的城市化过程中所扮演的角色，挑战了西方中心主义的城市发展理论。
This article explores the role of Indonesia’s royal house of Yogyakarta in the development of a site called Ambarrukmo. Originally a royal garden retreat, Ambarrukmo has undergone two significant phases of urbanization: the construction of an international hotel during Indonesia’s immediate post-independence period, and the more recent construction of a large-scale mall. These commercial development projects have been used by the Sultan to defend its royal status in a context of political change. Urbanization processes that are elsewhere neatly accounted for as singular effects of neoliberal globalisation are here realised through the convergent aspirations of national government and a regional monarchy. The Sultanate’s role challenges dominant, western-centric understandings of city building agency, which emphasise the state, the market and civil society.
