ABSTRACT

This article traces the underexplored history of global governance toward housing policy, from its origins in the postwar era United Nations through the Habitat III conference at Istanbul in 2016. In the process this article illustrates the unique characteristics of Global Urban Governance (GUG), analyzing how it emerged to meet global housing challenges. This is a vibrant history in which international organizations try to influence local politics, and vice versa, with cities as significant players in global governance. As urban planning increasingly takes place in a global context, with municipalities forging a growing web of political linkages, this article explores this phenomenon from its roots in the post war era. This history shows a contradictory yet complicated housing discourse at the global level, reframing local housing challenges as a singularly global issue. By 2016 GUG had expanded significantly through a variety of modalities linking planners and their publics, growing in complexity, contentiousness and debate. This article makes the case that GUG was a conduit for key city building principles from modernist ‘international styles’ to the new urbanism.

摘要

本文追溯了从战后联合国到 2016 年在伊斯坦布尔举行的 Habitat III 会议期间，全球治理对住房政策的未充分探索的历史。在此过程中，本文阐释了全球城市治理 (GUG) 的独特特征，分析了它是如何出现以应对全球住房挑战的。这是一段充满活力的历史，国际组织试图影响当地政治，反之亦然，城市是全球治理的重要参与者。随着城市规划越来越多地在全球范围内进行，市政当局正在建立一个日益增长的政治联系网络，本文从战后时代的根源探讨了这一现象。这段历史在全球范围内展示了一个矛盾而复杂的住房讨论，将当地住房挑战重新定义为一个独特的全球性问题。到 2016 年，GUG 通过将规划者与其公众联系起来的各种方式显着扩大，其复杂性、争议性和辩论性不断增加。本文论证了 GUG 是从现代主义“国际风格”到新城市主义的关键城市建设原则的渠道。
