Urban political ecology (UPE) focuses on unsettling traditional understandings of 'cities' as ontological entities separate from 'nature' and on how the production of settlements is metabolically linked with flows of capital and more-than-human ecological processes. The contribution of this paper is to recalibrate UPE to new urban forms and processes of extended urbanization. This exploration goes against the reduction of what goes on outside of cities to processes that emanate unidirectionally from cities. Acknowledging UPE's rich intellectual history and aiming to enrich rather than split the field, this paper identifies four emerging discourses that go beyond UPE's original formulation.
城市政治生态学(UPE)关注打破将“城市”视为与“自然”分离的本体论实体的传统理解,以及聚落生产如何在新陈代谢上与资本流动和超人类生态过程相联系。本文的贡献在于将城市政治生态学重新校准到新型城市形态和扩展城市化进程。这种探索与将城市外部发生的事情简化为从城市单向产生的过程的做法背道而驰。认识到城市政治生态学丰富的思想历史,并旨在丰富而非分裂该领域,本文确定了超越城市政治生态学最初表述的四种新兴话语。
