ABSTRACT

The dismantling of equity oriented urban policies has led to a call for a ‘just city’ agenda where policies are directed towards equity, diversity and democracy rather than growth and cultural protectionism. This paper presents a first assessment of political support for the ‘just city’ and investigates its conditioning factors, building on a European survey of city mayors. We find a strong association with leftist ideology, but also enabling conditions for the support of conservative mayors. The positive predisposition of leftist mayors, however, wains with increasing dependence on EU funding. The exploratory study thus opens new avenues for further research.

摘要

以公平为导向的城市政策的废除导致了对“公正城市”议程的呼吁，在该议程中，政策针对公平、多样性和民主，而不是增长和文化保护主义。本文首先对“正义城市”的政治支持进行评估，并在欧洲对市长的调查的基础上调查其条件因素。我们发现与左翼意识形态有很强的联系，但也为保守派市长的支持创造了条件。然而，左翼市长的积极倾向随着对欧盟资金的日益依赖而减弱。因此，探索性研究为进一步研究开辟了新途径。
