Zooming in on the urban history of the Kenya neighbourhood in Lubumbashi, this article deals with the relation between urban space, colonial policing and African unrest. Colonial policy-makers feared the populous neighbourhood and its African masses, and deployed urban planning to materialize an ambiguous agenda of ‘welfare colonialism’ and discipline. The implementation of these planning projects was incomplete, and a spatial analysis of subsequent African local unrest, everyday colonial policing and military schemes sheds additional light on how colonial forces and Africans utilized urban space as a resource for protest and control. As such, the article aims to contribute to the academic debate on colonial policing, in which spatiality has been lacking.

刚果民主共和国卢本巴希臭名昭著的红公社的殖民治安和城市空间

本文聚焦卢本巴希肯尼亚社区的城市历史，探讨城市空间、殖民治安和非洲动乱之间的关系。殖民政策制定者担心人口稠密的社区及其非洲群众，并部署城市规划来实现“福利殖民主义”和纪律的模棱两可的议程。这些规划项目的实施是不完整的，对随后的非洲当地骚乱、日常殖民治安和军事计划的空间分析进一步阐明了殖民势力和非洲人如何利用城市空间作为抗议和控制的资源。因此，本文旨在为关于殖民警务的学术辩论做出贡献，其中缺乏空间性。
