ABSTRACT Malmö aims to become Sweden’s most climate-smart city and Hyllie, its newest city district, is to lead the way. This ambition is front and centre in the 2011 Climate Contract that envisioned Hyllie as a climate-neutral city district. Malmö signed the Climate Contract with Eon, a multinational energy company. But five years after signing the Climate Contract, Malmö and Eon gave up their goal of a making Hyllie climate-neutral by 2020. The Climate Contract resembles other smart city initiatives that many researchers have criticised for promoting technology-centric, corporation-controlled visions of cities. Assemblage urbanism and the sociology of expectations help to analyse the techno-political dynamics between organisations, visions and urban infrastructure. The realisation of a vision is a techno-political process that requires the coordination of multiple groups around multiple promises. At first, it was the Climate Contract that helped Eon and the city administration to coordinate their activities. Subsequently, Eon made a promise to build wind turbines, and that promise then took precedence in the coordination of their activities. But controversies arose with two publics that emerged in opposition to Eon’s promise: neighbours to the site of the proposed wind turbine and the city’s Property Department. Unable to resolve these controversies, Eon and Malmö acknowledged that they lacked the resources need to make Hyllie climate-neutral. They adapted their original promise to the current state of socio-material assemblages, and Hyllie was demoted from a role model for the climate-smart city to a source of lessons learned.

承诺和技术政治:可再生能源和马尔默的气候智能城市愿景

摘要马尔默的目标是成为瑞典最环保的城市,而最新的市区希勒(Hyllie)将引领潮流。这一雄心壮志是2011年气候合同的重中之重,该合同将希勒(Hyllie)视为气候中和的城市地区。马尔默与跨国能源公司Eon签署了气候合同。但是,在签署《气候合同》五年后,马尔默和伊恩放弃了到2020年使Hyllie成为气候中立的目标。《气候合同》类似于其他智慧城市的倡议,许多研究人员批评该倡议旨在促进以技术为中心,企业控制的愿景城市。集合城市主义和期望社会学有助于分析组织,愿景和城市基础设施之间的技术政治动态。愿景的实现是一个技术政治过程,需要围绕多个承诺进行多个小组的协调。起初,正是气候合同帮助Eon和市政府协调了他们的活动。随后,Eon承诺制造风力涡轮机,然后在协调其活动中优先考虑这一承诺。但是,有两个与Eon的承诺背道而驰的公众引起了争议:拟议中的风力涡轮机所在地的邻居和纽约市物业局。Eon和Malmö无法解决这些争议,他们承认他们缺乏使Hyllie保持气候中立的资源。他们将最初的诺言调整为适应当前的社会物质组合状态,
