摘要

像世界上许多其他快速发展的城市中心一样,奥克兰市发现自己陷入了对土地的无休止需求,以容纳新的住宅和商业开发,以及需要保护支持密集城市人口的农业机构。在奥克兰城市扩张的边缘,用于住房和商业利益的土地比用于种植粮食的土地更有利可图。在不久的将来,农民、居民、房地产开发商和市政规划者对土地的价值是什么,这个问题对于维护奥克兰的粮食安全和粮食主权至关重要。这篇文章以Pukekohe——一个农业重镇,即将成为奥克兰城市南部边缘的新卫星城——作为研究这一现象的案例。我首先对政府规划文件中的发展进行了话语分析,证明了灵活规划和经济机会的话语使生产性土地的不受控制的损失成为临时城市蔓延的原因。然后,我转向媒体采访和著名的Pukekohe利益相关者的声明,并将他们的立场与斯蒂芬·古德曼(Stephen Gudeman)关于经济抽象的五个领域的理论联系起来,认为一个人与土地的工作关系决定了土地对他们的价值。最后,我将从这两种方法中得出的结论,讨论Pukekohe城市发展的政治经济学,详细说明奥克兰城市增长模式的方式,即短期收入的产生,而不是我们存在的实质性基础。在人类历史的大部分时间里,世界各地的城市都面临着这一矛盾,但随着世界城市人口大幅增加,气候变化的现实迫使我们重新考虑全球粮食生产的未来,这一矛盾比以往任何时候都更加重要。

The price we pay for land: The political economy of Pukekohe’s development
Like many other rapidly growing urban centres across the world, Auckland City finds itself caught between the unending demand for land to accommodate new residential and commercial developments, and the need to preserve the agricultural institutions that support dense urban populations. Land at the periphery of Auckland’s urban expansion has become significantly more lucrative when developed for housing and commercial interests than when used to grow food. The question of what farmers, residents, property developers and Council planners value land for is now crucial to preserving Auckland’s food security and food sovereignty in the near future. This article takes Pukekohe – an agricultural powerhouse and soon-to-be new satellite town at the southern periphery of urban Auckland – as a case study for this phenomenon. I first present a discourse analysis of development in government planning documents, demonstrating that discourses of flexible planning and economic opportunity enable the unchecked loss of productive land to ad hoc urban sprawl. I then turn to media interviews and statements from prominent Pukekohe stakeholders and relate their positions to Stephen Gudeman’s theory of the five spheres of economic abstraction, arguing that one’s working relationship to land defines the value it holds for them. Lastly, I take the conclusions drawn from these two approaches to discuss the political economy of Pukekohe’s urban development, detailing the ways in which the patterns of Auckland’s urban growth privilege the short-term generation of revenue over the substantial foundations of our existence. This contradiction has been faced by cities across the planet for much of the course of human history, yet it has never been more relevant than it is today, as the world’s urban population significantly increases and the realities of climate change force us to reconsider the future of global food production.
