摘要

1945 年后的三十年间,英国房地产开发行业规模激增,并开始在全球范围内开展业务。在这一时期,世界上最大的房地产公司都是英国的,它们在世界各地的城市建造办公楼、购物中心和酒店。这些海外房地产开发项目与早已存在的帝国政治和经济地理格局牢牢重叠,通过与伦敦金融业和 "绅士资本主义 "世界结盟,它们的跨国投机融资成为可能。本文探讨了这一时期英国房地产开发行业的崛起、金融化和带有帝国色彩的国际化,展示了房地产公司如何利用战后英国对开发商友好的城市重建秩序、国际主义金融行业和继承下来的帝国优势,即使帝国的许多正式政治结构正在被瓦解。在战后的几十年里,帝国作为世界商业体系的残余为英国的房地产开发商提供了重要的垫脚石,使其得以走向完全全球化的金融化房地产开发形式,这种形式塑造了当今世界各地的城市。

The Global Rise of the British Property Development Sector, 1945–1975
In the three decades after 1945 the British property development sector exploded in size and began operating on a worldwide scale. The largest property companies in the world were British in this era and they built office blocks, shopping centres and hotels in cities all over the world. These overseas property developments overlapped firmly with the pre-existing political and economic geographies of empire, and their speculative transnational financing was made possible by allying with London’s financial sector and the world of ‘gentlemanly capitalism’. This article surveys the rise, financialization, and imperially inflected internationalization of the British property development sector in this period, showing how property companies capitalized upon post-war Britain’s developer-friendly urban renewal order, internationalist financial sector, and inherited imperial advantages even as many of the formal political structures of empire were being dismantled. In the post-war decades, the remnants of empire as a commercial world system provided Britain’s property developers with vital stepping stones towards the fully globalized forms of financialized real-estate development that shape cities around the world today.
