Abstract

Airport cities are global spaces used by countries to improve non-aeronautical revenue and to attract foreign direct investment. The planning of such spaces is underpinned by neoliberal ideology and market-dominated policy which often do not make them inclusive. Yet the United Nations SDG 11 and New Urban Agenda calls for inclusive communities in planning urban spaces. Meanwhile GACL maintains a commoditised enclave with zero tolerance policy towards unwarranted use of the open spaces for informal food vending. The results show that the lower class are finding alternatives to address their basic need and their actions are blurring the hegemonic planning.

阿克拉航空城 I：全球空间与排斥性飞地

机场城市是各国用来提高非航空收入和吸引外国直接投资的全球空间。这些空间的规划以新自由主义意识形态和市场主导政策为基础，往往不具有包容性。然而，联合国可持续发展目标 11 和《新城市议程》呼吁在规划城市空间时要有包容性的社区。与此同时，GACL 却维持着一个商品化的飞地，对无理使用开放空间进行非正规食品贩卖采取零容忍政策。研究结果表明，底层人民正在寻找其他方式来满足他们的基本需求，他们的行动正在模糊霸权规划。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Asian and African Studies (JAAS) was founded in 1965 to further research and study on Asia and Africa. JAAS is a peer reviewed journal of area studies recognised for consistent scholarly contributions to cutting-edge issues and debates. The journal welcomes articles, research notes, and book reviews that focus on the dynamics of global change and development of Asian and African nations, societies, cultures, and the global community. Published articles cover: -development and change -technology and communication -globalization -public administration -politics -economy -education -health, wealth, and welfare -poverty and growth -humanities -sociology -political science -linguistics -economics JAAS adheres to a double-blind reviewing policy in which the identity of both the reviewer and author are always concealed from both parties. Decisions on manuscripts will be taken as rapidly as possible. However, while it is hoped that a decision can be made in 6-8 weeks, the refereeing process makes it impossible to predict the length of time that will be required to process any given manuscript.
