In response to rapid urbanization and intensifying climatological instability, cities are implementing major water infrastructure projects to mitigate water supply and flood risks. Drawing on four cases from South and Southeast Asia, we show how megacities’ search for additional water supplies or sites to store floodwater repeatedly disadvantage the most vulnerable groups in rural and urban areas. Rather than rehashing urban–rural conflicts, we argue these outcomes demonstrate the continuous reproduction of water insecurity for a class of society that is dispossessed of water and rural livelihoods, excluded from water and land access within the cities they migrate to, and evicted from flood-securitized cities back to the periphery. Water-related injustices confronting the urban poor mirror injustices along the entire water governance spectrum that begins and ends in rural areas. These shared vulnerabilities suggest opportunities for solidarity across urban–rural divides and novel directions for research and coalition building. A fundamental challenge ahead will be whether and how urban and rural poor groups can build regional or national alliances across geographic and identity divides.

共同的不公正,分裂的团结:跨越城乡差距的水治理

为应对快速城市化和气候不稳定加剧,城市正在实施重大水利基础设施项目,以减轻供水和洪水风险。借鉴南亚和东南亚的四个案例,我们展示了特大城市如何寻找额外的供水或储存洪水的地点反复使农村和城市地区的最弱势群体处于不利地位。我们认为这些结果不是重新讨论城乡冲突,而是表明,对于缺乏水和农村生计、无法在他们迁移到的城市内获得水和土地、并被洪水驱逐的社会阶层来说,水资源不安全状况持续再现。 ——证券化城市回归外围。城市贫民面临的与水有关的不公正反映了从农村地区开始和结束的整个水治理范围内的不公正。这些共同的脆弱性表明了跨越城乡差距的团结机会以及研究和联盟建设的新方向。未来的一个基本挑战将是城市和农村贫困群体是否以及如何跨越地理和身份鸿沟建立区域或国家联盟。
