ABSTRACT

In 2018, UN-Habitat projected the total population of the planet was about 7.632 billion. Fifty-five percent were living in urban areas in which more than 20 percent were said to live in slum areas. Within the era of increasing urbanization, and in the context of Habitat III, this article highlights planning innovation of the sustainability transition in urban informality in the Middle East. Three themes are raised. The first is to trace the recent academic debate on urban informality transitions in the Middle East. The second is to ask whether it possible to borrow new planning innovations from the Global North and apply them in the Global South and Middle East. Finally, the present work considers whether it is possible to link between the theory and the practice of governance of sustainability transitions and urban informality. It concludes that the configuration of urban informality in light of sustainability transitions would enhance the continuous sociotechnical and political transitions in the Middle East.

了解中东城市非正规性的可持续发展转型

摘要

人居署在2018年预测地球的总人口约为76.32亿。百分之五十五居住在城市地区,据说其中百分之二十以上居住在贫民窟地区。在日益城市化的时代,以及人居三的背景下,本文重点介绍了中东城市非正规性的可持续性转型的规划创新。提出了三个主题。首先是追溯最近关于中东城市非正规化转型的学术辩论。第二个问题是询问是否有可能借鉴全球北部的新规划创新并将​​其应用于全球南部和中东。最后,本工作考虑了是否有可能将可持续性转变和城市非正式化的治理理论与实践联系起来。
