Abstract

This article examines how appeals to the urbanist legacy of Jane Jacobs were deployed by both supporters and opponents of a proposed smart city development in Toronto. The analysis indicates how these contrasting allusions to Jacobs’ urban ideals were facilitated by a longstanding ideological fluidity in Jacobs’ writings and an enthymematic exploitation of ambiguities around the interpretation of her ideas. I argue that the enthymematic status of Jacobsian concepts provides a productive ambiguity and strategic rhetorical resource for problematizing hegemonic planning agendas that are presented as post-political.

简·雅各布斯(Jane Jacobs)的智能家居主题:b谷歌多伦多智能城市中模棱两可的城市诉求

这篇文章探讨了Jane Jacobs的城市主义遗产是如何被多伦多拟议的智能城市开发的支持者和反对者所利用的。该分析表明，雅各布斯作品中长期存在的意识形态流动性，以及对其思想解释的模糊性的热情利用，是如何促进这些对雅各布斯城市理想的对比暗示的。我认为，雅各布斯概念的热情地位为将霸权规划议程问题化提供了一种富有成效的模糊性和战略修辞资源，这些议程被视为后政治议程。
