Becoming a Slum: From Municipal Colony to Illegal Settlement in Liberalization‐Era Mumbai

This article argues that the transformation of a Mumbai neighborhood from municipal housing colony into illegal slum has been facilitated by the politically mediated deterioration and criminalization of its water infrastructure in the context of liberalization‐era policy shifts. These policy shifts hinge upon a conceptual binary that posits the unplanned, illegal and informal ‘slum’ as the self‐evident conceptual counterpoint to a planned, formal, ‘world‐class’ city. The story of Shivajinagar‐Bainganwadi problematizes this assumption by evidencing the deeply political and highly unstable nature of this binary — and thus insists upon an account of the shifting political and economic stakes imbued in these categories. The case of Shivajinagar‐Bainganwadi reveals that the neighborhood's emergence as an illegal slum has been mediated by the liberalization‐era politics that have come to infuse the neighborhood's water pipes — dynamics that have produced the illegality/informality of the neighborhood as a discursive effect.

宏观调控与个体创意——作为城市意象的户外广告不可缺少的两面

户外广告是城市意象的重要构成部分。文章对部分国内外的户外广告的个体创意进行了举例,指出单一的创意户外广告能活泼特定的城市场景。在提高到整体城市景观的层次上,户外广告组成的街道景观甚至构成了人对整个城市的印象。为了避免城市景观受到户外广告无序蔓延的破坏,城市管理者必须通过宏观调控的手段进行一定的控制。经过国内外一些城市规划方向的广告管理案例进行列举与梳理,文章认为对户外广告的宏观调控现今是不可缺少的。但相比国外,我国在户外广告管理上,广告行业协会与居民的参与还并不广泛,在管理的具体实现手段上,还未尽完善,这些是值得进一步研究。总的来说,宏观调控与个体创意共同促使户外广告成就具有魅力的城市意象。     

Branding Food Culture: UNESCO Creative Cities of Gastronomy

ABSTRACT

Although branding is a well-established practice in consumer goods marketing its application to intangibles is a relatively new activity. This article analyzes the co-branding between the United Nations and urban centers that are successful in becoming UNESCO Creative Cities of Gastronomy. Cities with this status have the potential to generate benefits from enhanced brand image, with associated economic and social rewards. However, it requires ongoing investment to create awareness among potential tourists and investors and in the development of enhanced pride and coordination among city residents and businesses. Numerous cities are likely to join the existing five UNESCO Creative Cities of Gastronomy over coming years as a result of efforts from UNESCO to raise its profile, alongside individual cities prioritizing food tourism in their economic development plans and increasing global importance of food security as evidenced by it being the theme for World Exposition being hosted by Italy in 2015.
