Abstract

This paper rethinks participation in slum upgrading beyond a well-established dichotomy of “top-down” and “bottom-up” processes and instead proposes a relational and strategic approach to urban transformation. Based on qualitative research with a small informal settlement, Barrio Saldías, in Buenos Aires, that fell off the city government's agenda, this paper explores the role of participation in promoting upgrading from the margins. It argues that Saldías differs from instances of community-led upgrading due to the central role of party brokers and political representatives (especially from the local state) alongside residents, all of whom participate together in a political climate dominated by the discourses of citizen participation and slum upgrading. Rather than collapsing these experiences into the logic of clientelism, participation is centred as the articulatory logic based on a shared desire and commitment to transforming urban space, towards multiple political ends. Participatory upgrading in Saldías exceeds the narrow focus of project-centric approaches and draws on a wider trajectory of participation in Buenos Aires. It demonstrates this through an analysis of three moments of participatory upgrading in Saldías.

贫民窟改造与参与:布宜诺斯艾利斯一个边缘化社区的启示
本文重新思考了贫民窟改造中的参与问题,超越了 "自上而下 "和 "自下而上 "的既定二分法,而是提出了一种城市改造的关系和战略方法。布宜诺斯艾利斯的萨尔迪亚斯区(Barrio Saldías)是一个小型非正规居住区,没有列入市政府的议事日程,本文基于对该居住区的定性研究,探讨了参与在促进边缘地区改造中的作用。本文认为,萨尔迪亚斯不同于社区主导的改造,因为政党经纪人和政治代表(尤其是地方政府)与居民一起发挥了核心作用,他们共同参与了以公民参与和贫民窟改造论述为主导的政治氛围。参与并不是将这些经验归结为 "裙带关系 "的逻辑,而是以共同的愿望和对改造城市空间的承诺为基础,以多种政治目的为目标,将参与作为一种衔接逻辑。萨尔迪亚斯的参与式改造超越了以项目为中心的狭隘视角,借鉴了布宜诺斯艾利斯更广泛的参与轨迹。本报告通过分析萨尔迪亚斯参与式改造的三个时刻来说明这一点。

期刊介绍: Habitat International is dedicated to the study of urban and rural human settlements: their planning, design, production and management. Its main focus is on urbanisation in its broadest sense in the developing world. However, increasingly the interrelationships and linkages between cities and towns in the developing and developed worlds are becoming apparent and solutions to the problems that result are urgently required. The economic, social, technological and political systems of the world are intertwined and changes in one region almost always affect other regions.
