Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper explores the concept of urbanity in a specific context, namely Helsinki, Finland. In a European context, Finland urbanized late. This lies at the heart of the common interpretation that Finland lacks an urban culture and urban lifestyles. Today, however, with the new comprehensive Urban Plan, city planners in Helsinki emphasize a paradigm shift towards urbanity. This paper seeks to understand this changing emphasis in planning by exploring how planners frame and understand urbanity. The paper concludes that within the Nordic welfare context more emphasis is needed to rethink whom urbanity serves and how it resonates with the prevention of segregation that the city also aims at.

“从心理上讲，我们更像乡下人”——这是在解释芬兰赫尔辛基对都市化的追求

摘要本文探讨了城市化的概念在一个特定的背景下，即芬兰赫尔辛基。在欧洲背景下，芬兰城市化较晚。这是人们普遍认为芬兰缺乏城市文化和城市生活方式的核心。然而，今天，随着新的全面城市规划，赫尔辛基的城市规划者强调了向城市化的范式转变。本文试图通过探索规划者如何构建和理解城市性来理解规划中这种不断变化的重点。该论文的结论是，在北欧福利背景下，需要更多地强调重新思考城市化为谁服务，以及它如何与城市同样旨在防止种族隔离产生共鸣。

期刊介绍： Planning, at urban, regional, national and international levels, faces new challenges, notably those related to the growth of globalisation as both an objective socio-economic process and a shift in policy-maker perceptions and modes of analysis. International Planning Studies (IPS) addresses these issues by publishing quality research in a variety of specific fields and from a range of theoretical and normative perspectives, which helps improve understanding of the actual and potential role of planning and planners in this context.
