The paper discusses Maputo municipality's plans for the modernisation of the Mercado do Museu, an iconic informal market located in the high-end Polana neighbourhood, which has long been a place for fervent social encounter among people from different social and economic origins. The Mercado's upgrading plans emerge within the context of Maputo's intensely urban transformation that has led gentrification effects, especially in the city's wealthiest areas. This stems partly from private real estate investment, and also from large infrastructure and housing projects promoted by the Mozambican state. Modernist planning ideals and their ordering impulses shape the way municipal authorities view the city and its spaces of informality, contradicting the urban form produced and lived by the majority of Maputo's inhabitants. While Mercado do Museu has enabled the production of urban social life and the foundations for urban inclusion and citizenship, the modernisation project brings forward "conflicting rationalities" (Watson , 4(4), 395-407, 2003). However as modernist views of cities are broadly shared across Mozambique's urban society, the "conflicting rationalities" being played out are not only situated around urban material form; but rather between material expressions of urbanity and personhood; between urban form and urban citizenship.
本文讨论了马普托市对博物馆市场（Mercado do Museu）进行现代化改造的计划。该市场是一个标志性的非正规市场，位于高端的波拉纳社区，长期以来一直是来自不同社会和经济背景的人们热烈社交的场所。市场的升级计划是在马普托市激烈的城市转型背景下出现的，这种转型导致了中产阶级化效应，尤其是在该市最富裕的地区。这部分源于私人房地产投资，也源于莫桑比克国家推动的大型基础设施和住房项目。现代主义规划理念及其有序化冲动塑造了市政当局看待城市及其非正规空间的方式，这与马普托大多数居民所产生和生活的城市形态相矛盾。虽然博物馆市场促进了城市社会生活的产生以及城市包容和公民身份的基础，但现代化项目提出了“相互冲突的合理性”（沃森，《城市研究》，第4卷第4期，第395 - 407页，2003年）。然而，由于现代主义城市观在莫桑比克城市社会中广泛存在，正在展现的“相互冲突的合理性”不仅围绕城市物质形态；而是存在于城市性与人的身份的物质表达之间；城市形态与城市公民身份之间。
