世界城市状况报告 2012/2013 (State of the World's Cities 2012/2013)

本版《世界城市状况报告》要揭示的是,“所有人的繁荣”目前仅狭隘地聚焦于经济增长。联 合国人居署提出了一个全新的视角,超越了单一的经济重心,而包括了其他的重要维度,如生 活质量、充足的基础设施、平等和环境可持续。报告还推出了一个新工具—城市繁荣指数,以 及“繁荣之轮”概念矩阵,二者都可为决策者制定清晰的干预政策提供建议。

报告呼吁城市应该为所有民众强化公共领域,扩大公共物品供应,巩固“公地”权利,以此作 为扩大繁荣的手段。这正是为了应对目前已被观察到的不良趋势,如繁荣飞地上对公共物品和公地 的封锁和限制,以及以不可持续的方式将其耗尽。

State of the World's Cities 2010/2011- Cities for All: Bridging the Urban Divide

This report uses the framework of 'The Urban Divide' to analyse the complex social, political, economic and cultural dynamics of urban environments. It addresses poverty and deprivation, which expose low-income urban dwellers to higher risks and make them even more vulnerable. The overall book focuses on the concept of the 'right to the city' and the ways in which many urban dwellers are excluded from the advantages of city life, using the framework to explore links among poverty, inequality, slum formation and economic growth.

The volume is intended for all professionals and policymakers in the field and aims to be a valuable resource for researchers and students in all aspects of urban development.

1.1 Cross-Currents in Global Urbanization

本报告清晰地展示了居住条件对于人类发展的直接影响,包括儿童死亡率、教育以及就业。以一项或多项居住困难为特征的恶劣的居住环境,与在“千年发展目标”中核心指标的不佳表现之间的相关性,证实了“我们住在哪里是很重要的”这一观点。本报告的发现揭示了一个新的城市现实,即亟须制定有益贫民的和性别平等的城市政策和制度。

Prosperity of Cities: State of the World's Cities 2012/2013

What this new edition of State of the World's Cities shows is that prosperity for all has been compromised by a narrow focus on economic growth. UN-Habitat suggests a fresh approach to prosperity beyond the solely economic emphasis, including other vital dimensions such as quality of life, adequate infrastructures, equity and environmental sustainability.

The Report proposes a new tool – the City Prosperity Index – together with a conceptual matrix, the Wheel of Prosperity, both of which are meant to assist decision makers to design clear policy interventions. The Report advocates for the need of cities to enhance the public realm, expand public goods and consolidate rights to the 'commons' for all as a way to expand prosperity. This comes in response to the observed trend of enclosing or restricting these goods and commons in enclaves of prosperity, or depleting them through unsustainable use.

State of the World’s Cities 2008/2009 - Harmonious Cities

Half of humanity now lives in cities, and within two decades, nearly 60 per cent of the world’s people will be urban dwellers. Urban growth is most rapid in the developing world, where cities gain an average of 5 million residents every month. As cities grow in size and population, harmony among the spatial, social and environmental aspects of a city and between their inhabitants becomes of paramount importance. This harmony hinges on two key pillars: equity and sustainability.

State of the World’s Cities 2006/2007

It is generally assumed that urban populations are healthier, more literate and more prosperous than rural populations. However, UN-HABITAT’s State of the World’s Cities Report 2006/7 has broken new ground by showing that the urban poor suffer from an urban penalty:

Slum dwellers in developing countries are as badly off if not worse off than their rural relatives.
