Abstract

Capital cities form the focus of a sub-field in urban studies. Much of the literature concerning their planning concentrates on their histories, and on the core precincts in which these cities of power often focus their governmental functions. Lacunae in the capital city literature include little attention to twenty-first century capital city settings in large, complex and expanding city-regions; to recent developments in broader urban literatures/city studies; and to contemporary directions of their planning and emergent futures. This article seeks to contribute to filling these gaps through a comparative study of five national capital city-regions on four continents: those of Delhi, Beijing, Paris, Pretoria and Brasília. The methods applied rest on secondary sources as well as some primary research in each of these city-regions. The article proceeds through a substantial review of literatures on capital cities and relevant urban studies, and sets out a general comparison of the five city-regions historically and in terms of their current features. We then proceed to an examination of present challenges and planning approaches in each city-region in turn. A discursive conclusion explores possibilities for the future and argues that by ‘catching up’ conceptually to contemporary trends, including debates around ‘extended urbanisation’, capital city studies, as a sub-field of urban scholarship, could play a useful role in promoting critique of policy and planning responses.

当代规划与新兴未来:四大洲五个首都城市区域的比较研究
首都城市是城市研究的一个子领域。关于他们规划的大部分文献都集中在他们的历史上,以及这些权力城市经常集中履行政府职能的核心区域。首都文献中的空白包括对21世纪大、复杂和不断扩大的城市区域中的首都环境的关注很少;更广泛的城市文献/城市研究的最新进展;以及他们规划和新兴未来的当代方向。本文试图通过对四大洲五个国家首都地区的比较研究来填补这些空白:德里、北京、巴黎、比勒陀利亚和巴西利亚。所采用的方法依赖于这些城市地区的次要来源以及一些初步研究。本文通过对首都城市和相关城市研究文献的大量回顾,对五个城市区域的历史和现状进行了一般性比较。然后,我们依次对每个城市区域的当前挑战和规划方法进行审查。一个讨论性结论探讨了未来的可能性,并认为通过在概念上“赶上”当代趋势,包括围绕“扩展城市化”的辩论,首都研究作为城市学术的一个子领域,可以在促进对政策和规划回应的批评方面发挥有用作用。
