Abstract

ABSTRACT This study investigates the impact of institution and built form on trends to gentrification in Hong Kong, investigating both public and private and larger and smaller development projects. It identifies three models of gentrification, the “black hole” model, suggesting that very large, public sector projects may have little trickle-down effect; the “happy days” model, which provides needed residential and commercial space for the post-industrial economy, but appropriately sized sites are now very limited; and the “cooked frog” model, where in situ, piecemeal redevelopment may act to slow the pace of gentrification and thus help to retain socially mixed neighbourhoods for a time. However, while to some extent physically bounded, by following the predicted outcome of normal bid rent activities, it is also the most pernicious of the three models because it is self-sustaining and thus is likely to drive out original residents and traditional businesses over time. Each of these models points to an East Asian model of gentrification as well as raising important theoretical issues to contribute to the international gentrification debate.

重建国际城市:制度与建筑形式的影响-三个香港个案研究
本研究调查了香港制度和建筑形式对中产阶级化趋势的影响,调查了公共和私人以及大型和小型发展项目。报告指出了中产阶级化的三种模式:“黑洞”模式,表明非常大型的公共部门项目可能几乎没有涓滴效应;“快乐时光”模式,为后工业经济提供所需的住宅和商业空间,但适当规模的用地现在非常有限;而“煮熟的青蛙”模式,在原地,零碎的重建可能会减缓中产阶级化的步伐,从而有助于在一段时间内保留社会混合的社区。然而,虽然在一定程度上受到物理限制,但由于遵循正常投标租金活动的预测结果,它也是三种模式中最有害的,因为它是自我维持的,因此随着时间的推移,它可能会驱逐原有居民和传统企业。这些模式都指向了东亚的中产阶级化模式,并提出了重要的理论问题,为国际上的中产阶级化辩论做出了贡献。
