This article analyses the production of urban space in the globalizing city of Milan, Italy. The authors present the evolution of a 30-year development process in a semi-central area of the city known as Garibaldi Porta Nuova, contrasting present and past conditions. Initial attempts to develop the area began in the early 1980s but came to nothing; a previous study of the same area attributed that failure to the inability of fragmented local political elites to coalesce into an effective pro-growth coalition. In the early 2000s, a new coalition of political and economic actors, in particular financial and real estate interests, revived the process of regeneration and drove construction of a large-scale mixed-use project. This article offers an account of the process in terms of both the internal dynamics of the local coalition and the contextual and institutional factors framing the bargaining of political and economic elites over the development process. We use two theoretical frameworks – growth machine theory and regime theory – to assess the distribution of power and resources. Our analysis indicates that the outcome is the result of a specific growth machine fuelled by international capital, and that changes in the intergovernmental system in Italy induced local political elites to accommodate the requirements of international investors.

米兰跻身大联盟:一台正在发挥作用的金融化增长机器

本文分析了意大利米兰这个全球化城市的城市空间生产。作者展示了该市半中心地区 Garibaldi Porta Nuova 30 年发展过程的演变,对比了现在和过去的情况。开发该地区的最初尝试始于 1980 年代初,但一无所获。先前对同一领域的一项研究将这种失败归因于支离破碎的地方政治精英无法联合成一个有效的促进增长的联盟。在 2000 年代初期,一个新的政治和经济参与者联盟,尤其是金融和房地产利益集团,重新启动了重建进程,并推动了大型综合体项目的建设。本文从地方联盟的内部动态以及构成政治和经济精英在发展过程中讨价还价的背景和制度因素方面对这一过程进行了说明。我们使用两个理论框架——增长机器理论和制度理论——来评估权力和资源的分配。我们的分析表明,这种结果是由国际资本推动的特定增长机器的结果,意大利政府间制度的变化促使当地政治精英适应国际投资者的要求。我们使用两个理论框架——增长机器理论和制度理论——来评估权力和资源的分配。我们的分析表明,这种结果是由国际资本推动的特定增长机器的结果,意大利政府间制度的变化促使当地政治精英适应国际投资者的要求。我们使用两个理论框架——增长机器理论和制度理论——来评估权力和资源的分配。我们的分析表明,这种结果是由国际资本推动的特定增长机器的结果,意大利政府间制度的变化促使当地政治精英适应国际投资者的要求。
