Abstract

This essay considers how the tensions inherent to authoritarian politics structure urban governance in the city of Moscow. The focus here is on urban development policy and the housing renovation programme introduced in 2017. The essay demonstrates a flexible governance arrangement that responds to the interests and ideas of the country’s leadership and involves city-level bureaucratic decision-making, the accommodation of economic interests and expert opinion, and consultations with the public. Such consultations have recently become more significant because of intensive protests paired with the city administration’s belief in participatory urban governance.

俄罗斯城市治理：以莫斯科领土开发和住房改造为例

摘要

本文考虑了威权政治固有的紧张局势如何构建莫斯科市的城市治理。这里的重点是 2017 年推出的城市发展政策和住房改造计划。 本文展示了一种灵活的治理安排，响应国家领导层的利益和理念，涉及市级官僚决策、经济利益的调和专家意见和公众咨询。由于激烈的抗议以及城市管理部门对参与式城市治理的信念，此类协商最近变得更加重要。
