Master‐planned estates are not only new urban spaces for living but also represent new approaches in urban governmentality. They entail systems of private governance not only to encourage self‐regulation of resident behaviour, but also to control how residents “consume” the estate. In middle‐class ethopolitics, acceptance is based on consumption that supports homeownership as an investment, supporting the creation and maintenance of value while achieving a broader social benefit of sustainability. This occurs within the context of a governmental dilemma of how much to control, as well as different ideas of value creation and the attainment of sustainability. Murrays Beach is an eco‐themed master‐planned estate on the east coast of Australia at Newcastle, New South Wales. The production of the estate was achieved partly through discursive practices such as building design covenants that define appropriate consumption. Consumption reflected an interpretation of sustainability based on the integration of ecology and lifestyle. Using a combination of discourse analysis and post‐occupancy evaluation, this article explores the experiences of residents as they rationalise and live with a system of private governance oriented towards a particular interpretation of sustainable consumption. I find evidence to support the conclusion that the lived experiences of residents are entangled with private governance, scripted consumption, commodity value, owner–investor rationalities, and homeowner rationalities.

生态主题总体规划区的政府性和居民经验

总体规划的房地产不仅是新的城市居住空间，而且代表着城市管理的新方法。它们需要私人治理体系，不仅要鼓励居民行为的自我调节，而且要控制居民“消费”遗产的方式。在中产阶级民族政治学中，接受是基于支持住房所有权作为投资，支持创造和维持价值，同时实现更广泛的可持续性社会效益的消费。这是在政府要控制多少的两难困境以及价值创造和实现可持续性的不同观念的背景下发生的。Murrays Beach是位于澳大利亚东海岸新南威尔士州纽卡斯尔的以生态为主题的总体规划房地产。庄园的生产部分是通过诸如定义适当消费的建筑设计契约之类的话语实践来实现的。消费反映了对生态与生活方式融合的可持续性的解释。本文结合话语分析和入住后评估，探索了居民合理化和生活在针对特定可持续消费解释的私人治理体系中的经验。我发现有证据支持这一结论，即居民的生活经验与私人治理，脚本化的消费，商品价值，所有者-投资者的理性以及房主的理性纠缠不清。消费反映了对生态与生活方式融合的可持续性的解释。本文结合话语分析和入住后评估，探索了居民合理化和生活在针对特定可持续消费解释的私人治理体系中的经验。我发现有证据支持这一结论，即居民的生活经验与私人治理，脚本化的消费，商品价值，所有者-投资者的理性以及房主的理性纠缠不清。消费反映了对生态与生活方式融合的可持续性的解释。本文结合话语分析和入住后评估，探索了居民合理化和生活在针对特定可持续消费解释的私人治理体系中的经验。我发现有证据支持这一结论，即居民的生活经验与私人治理，脚本化的消费，商品价值，所有者-投资者的理性以及房主的理性纠缠不清。本文探讨了居民合理化和生活在针对特定的可持续消费解释的私人治理体系中的经验。我发现有证据支持这一结论，即居民的生活经验与私人治理，脚本化的消费，商品价值，所有者-投资者的理性以及房主的理性纠缠不清。本文探讨了居民合理化和生活在针对特定的可持续消费解释的私人治理体系中的经验。我发现有证据支持这一结论，即居民的生活经验与私人治理，脚本化的消费，商品价值，所有者-投资者的理性以及房主的理性纠缠不清。
