42、經(jīng)歷中起到?jīng)Q定作用的是重建的能動性以及市民進行的非官方的規(guī)劃。尤其是這個章節(jié)將要探索的數(shù)字媒體的政治功能以及他們在Katrina颶風過后官方和非官方規(guī)劃中的作用。我將著重于闡述不同規(guī)劃造成的緊張局勢以及應用數(shù)字媒體的不同方法。由于新奧爾良的重建計劃是迄今為止數(shù)字化使用最多的計劃,對其中數(shù)字工具(見 Ritchin,2009)的應用以及長遠影響的研究將會在決定它們在如今這個數(shù)字時代,網(wǎng)絡社會中對于城市規(guī)劃的意義具有至關重要的作用。<

43、/p><p>  由于新奧爾良大量的災后計劃行動,這個實例分析提供了一個研究實踐在現(xiàn)有學術環(huán)境下的關鍵機會。尤其是這個實例分析從以下方面考慮了新奧爾良的規(guī)劃:最近提出的關于實用主義的爭論,社會交流行為和社會學習 (Beauregard,2000;Lauria & Wagner,2006; Friedmann, 2003;Collins & Ison, 2006),數(shù)字媒體在規(guī)劃中的應用(Drummon

44、d & French,2008;Klosterman,2008;Krieger,2004;Campbell,1996;Batty,2001;Craglia,2004),對于城市的參與和權利(Campbell & Marshall,2000;Sandercock,2000;Lefebvre,1996),以及在現(xiàn)今網(wǎng)絡時代城市規(guī)劃中的結構問題(Castells,1996/ 1997)。</p><p>

45、;  在新奧爾良,基層的創(chuàng)新與被選舉官員及政府機構形成了鮮明的對比。在2005年秋季到2007年春季之間,大部分非官方的規(guī)劃都是以支持擁護官方觀點的形式出現(xiàn)的(Culley & Hughey,2008,102頁)。盡管很多非官方規(guī)劃都是由鄰近機構提出的,但在這里要指出的是,非官方規(guī)劃并非只局限于鄰近規(guī)劃,并且,市民的行動往往著重于對城市或者地區(qū)有重大影響的事件(Checkoway,1984),比如自然堤、濕地生態(tài)、房屋價格。如下

46、面我將要解釋的,非官方規(guī)劃是在一個高度集權的環(huán)境下展開的,集權者試圖控制官方規(guī)劃、公眾參與和與重建工程相關的經(jīng)濟來源。</p><p>  非官方的規(guī)劃包括鄰近組織、地方機構、非盈利組織和個人提出的計劃。這些計劃包括了中城鄰近組織計劃、越南瑪麗皇后地方委員會、布羅德漠提高協(xié)會、神圣十字會、拉菲特走廊和鄰近組織計劃圈運作的擁護會議。我發(fā)現(xiàn)重要的社會學習和賦權行動(Friedmann,1996,2003;Rocha,

47、1997)已經(jīng)在新奧爾良地區(qū)發(fā)展起來了。在這個過程中,數(shù)字媒體的應用加速了其中的計劃與行動。鄰近組織、非盈利組織、藝術家、活動家、獨立記者、教授學生以及地方擁護計劃者都使用了數(shù)字媒體為回歸的,失散的新奧爾良居民、志愿者、公眾官員建立起了紐帶。數(shù)字工具提供了一個靈活的通訊、批判以及討論的平臺。</p><p>  在鄰近組織和非盈利組織通過電子通訊進行的如火如荼的時候,官方計劃已經(jīng)在社會學習、賦權以及數(shù)字媒體的使用

48、等方面遠遠落后于公民自發(fā)的活動。 官方規(guī)劃包括選舉產(chǎn)生的官員以及政府機構主辦的或是私人顧問負責管理的計劃。在新奧爾良,這些規(guī)劃包括(按時間先后順序排列):聯(lián)邦緊急事務管理機構的ESF-14計劃、市長的還原新奧爾良計劃、城市理事會的新奧爾良鄰近重建計劃和大新奧爾良計劃——這些將是本章闡述之重點。</p><p>  從2006年七月底開始,大新奧爾良計劃便展現(xiàn)出其高風險的一面。它引發(fā)的一系列問題包括記錄宣傳的需求和

49、媒體繁榮的飽和之間的平衡。盡管公眾對于規(guī)劃有不小的意識,對于有關復蘇的信息和溝通的期望也在不斷增長,大新奧爾良計劃并非出現(xiàn)于公眾活動,也沒有體現(xiàn)公眾的認可,盡管它是這么宣稱的 (Olshansky,2006;Williamson,2007;Wilson,2008)。更糟糕的是,公共官員以及他們的顧問并沒有意識到并且去建立在那些他們官方規(guī)劃之外的社會學習。</p><p>  盡管大新奧爾良計劃看起來是最新數(shù)字技術

50、的結晶,但是本質(zhì)上,它通過它的操縱結構和國會的議程提出了研究數(shù)字媒體對規(guī)劃過程、對規(guī)劃內(nèi)容以及規(guī)劃結果影響的必要性。盡管數(shù)字媒體為分享信息提供了新的機會,從這次Katrina后的新奧爾良看來,它并不一定能帶來更加民主的過程,使用數(shù)字媒體可以增加,而并非減小,規(guī)劃中的信息扭曲。</p><p>  我發(fā)現(xiàn)最終大新奧爾良復蘇過程中的缺陷正表現(xiàn)了一個民主政權的危機, 它阻止了一場更加平等的復蘇運動。以下將分析為促進這場

51、大新奧爾良計劃而建立的管理結構。</p><p>  我認為,大新奧爾良計劃表現(xiàn)了一個令人憂慮的私有化的計劃,同時暴露了數(shù)字媒體在城市規(guī)劃應用中的優(yōu)點以及缺點。</p><p>  6.1.1 災難復蘇與數(shù)字化城市</p><p>  從規(guī)劃理論的角度看來,在新奧爾良計劃設計活動中的倉促正好表現(xiàn)了在參與,交流和數(shù)字技術中的一個趨勢:數(shù)字技術將成為一種普遍存在的現(xiàn)象,

52、然而它將是滲透著政治與戰(zhàn)斗的。對于這樣的一個新時代是否象征著視覺圖像在城市規(guī)劃中的勝利(Neuman,2000,348頁)或者一種在規(guī)劃中運用技術的“二次革命”(Klosterman,2008),這點并不重要。更重要的是我們對于數(shù)字技術可以對民主規(guī)劃造成的影響之理解。尤其,如有人(Castells,1997)建議,數(shù)字技術的應用可以通過提供獲取信息的途徑,使得更廣大的公眾來參與討論以及決策,從而影響規(guī)劃的民主性。同時,Graham (2

53、002)發(fā)現(xiàn)全球化的信息通訊技術的使用正在逐步地保證或者提高社會計劃。</p><p>  因此,盡管當前新奧爾良的規(guī)劃活動從某種意義上來講是“新”的,有關規(guī)劃的道德規(guī)范以及理論的大問題將被提升到了一個新的高度。</p><p>  主要的問題包括如下幾點:</p><p>  1.地方政府和決策過程中的公民影響和權利。</p><p>  

54、2.精英專家掌控的規(guī)劃過程相比于基于合作和互相理解的規(guī)劃。</p><p>  3.規(guī)劃信息的在社會交流中牽涉到的政治,包括數(shù)字媒體,信息通訊技術和城市數(shù)據(jù)的產(chǎn)生,使用,以及控制(見 Bates & Green,2007)。</p><p>  從一個數(shù)字城市學者的角度看來,Batty(2001)和Craglia (2004)提出了一個啟發(fā)式的方法來探索這個復雜的,有時候甚至是自相

55、矛盾的,數(shù)字城市與實際城市的關系。</p><p>  把這個框架應用于新奧爾良,我們可以來探索這個數(shù)字城市與實際城市的復雜的關系,探索實際城市的數(shù)字表達,以及傳統(tǒng)的規(guī)劃設計的實踐方法是如何被數(shù)字方式所改變或者擴展的。</p><p>  它還引出了其他的一些問題。用數(shù)字方式去進行對城市的表示和思考只是單純意義上的對“傳統(tǒng)”方式的重塑么?用數(shù)字模式來表示城市是否從根本上改變了規(guī)劃的實踐行為

56、以及我們對于城市經(jīng)歷的表達?災難之后的新奧爾良的數(shù)字表示是否創(chuàng)造了一個對于城市的新的認識,對土著都市化 (Wagner, 2008)的一種解讀或者規(guī)劃設備?最后,數(shù)字媒體的應用是如何改變著災后城市中日常生活的重建?</p><p>  盡管新奧爾良,作為一個有著災后復蘇壓力的城市,它本身是規(guī)劃實例中的一個極端,但是日益普及的用數(shù)字去表達實際的城市、城市中的人民、城市中的建筑,這表明了新奧爾良這次經(jīng)歷作為城市規(guī)劃實

57、踐的重大意義。這個實例分析證明與其去簡單的促進參與,公民和專家們對數(shù)字媒體在規(guī)劃中的使用也為努力尋求平等、合作、和民主的實踐者制造了新的挑戰(zhàn)(Campbell,1996)。并且,很多Drummond和French建議的電子規(guī)劃方案(2008,172頁)已經(jīng)在新奧爾良實現(xiàn)了——盡管現(xiàn)實比書中的往往要復雜地多。如本章節(jié)所闡述,官方以及非官方在重建規(guī)劃中,對數(shù)字媒體的應用使得規(guī)劃實踐以及規(guī)劃理論都更為復雜了,聯(lián)機工具與傳統(tǒng)規(guī)劃過程的組合引起了
