摘要

长期以来,对北欧边缘国家的政治家和规划者来说,既要规划增长,又要管理衰退的矛盾局面一直是一个现实。然而,近年来,为人口适应、智能收缩和“适当规模”的公共服务制定计划的尝试已经变得司空见惯。虽然这花了几十年的时间才成为市政规划的一部分,但由于几项不可预见的巨额投资,现在瑞典北部出现了新的机会。预计这将在城市化的沿海地区和少数内陆地区引发快速的社会经济增长。然而,在地理位置上毗邻这些投资热点的农村地区和人口稀少的城市可能受到的影响,人们却知之甚少。以往的研究表明,此类投资项目可能对农村劳动力和住房市场造成压力,但也可能为农村地区提供一系列积极的溢出效应和发展机会。我们利用结构层面的叙述和对关键线人(包括地方和区域政治利益相关者)的采访,来确定在不受直接影响的地方如何看待千兆级投资的前景,以及讨论了哪些机遇和威胁。在经验材料中确定的一个首要主题是关于增长话语的空间性,我们将其分为两个具体的困境:基础设施和流动性。我们的研究结果表明,虽然投资被视为北方地区新的“黄金时代”,但对区域特征的这种空间理解可能会阻碍快速行动,并能够充分利用潜在的溢出效应。

Spillover, sponge or something else? Dismantling expectations for rural development resulting from giga-investments in Northern Sweden
The paradoxical situation of planning for growth while managing decline has long been a reality for politicians and planners in Nordic peripheries. In recent years, however, attempts to plan for demographic adaptation, smart shrinkage, and ‘right-sizing’ public services have become commonplace. While it has taken decades for this to become an accepted part of municipal planning, new opportunities are now arising in the Swedish North due to several unforeseen giga-investments. These are expected to trigger rapid socio-economic growth along the urbanized coast and in a few select inland locations. Yet the likely effects on shrinking rural and sparsely populated municipalities geographically adjacent to these investment hotspots are much less understood. Previous research suggests that such investment projects might cause pressure for rural labour and housing markets but may also offer a range of positive spillover effects and development opportunities for rural areas. We draw on structural level narratives and interviews with key informants, including local and regional political stakeholders, to identify how the prospects of the giga-investments are viewed in places that are not directly affected, and what opportunities and threats are discussed. An overarching theme identified in the empirical material concerns the a-spatiality of discourses of growth, which we divide into two concrete dilemmas: infrastructure and mobility. Our findings show that, while the investments are seen as ringing in a new ‘golden age’ for the northern region, such a-spatial understandings of regional characteristics might stand in the way of acting fast and being able to make the most of the potential spillover effects.
