ABSTRACT

The constitution of environmental subjects by governments and civil society organizations around the world has taken place within a framework of neoliberal urbanization. This entails promoting an individual sense of responsibility over urban environments among city dwellers. The approach used is not so much governmentality as environmentality, because of its focus on environmental matters. We claim that the tools used in this process are designed to generate among urban dwellers an imaginary of the cities they inhabit as ecosystems. Using qualitative methods, we examine cases in Auckland and Mexico City regarding water management.

将城市重新想象为生态系统：奥克兰和墨西哥城的环境主体形成

摘要

世界各国政府和民间社会组织对环境主体的构成是在新自由主义城市化的框架内进行的。这需要在城市居民中促进个人对城市环境的责任感。所使用的方法与其说是治理不如说是环保，因为它关注环境问题。我们声称，在这个过程中使用的工具旨在在城市居民中产生他们作为生态系统居住的城市的想象。我们使用定性方法研究奥克兰和墨西哥城有关水资源管理的案例。
