The emergence of the climate change discourse in urban planning emphasises resilience as a key concept to deal with issues such as climate mitigation and adaptation, and urban health. What we have termed in this article ‘green resilience’, the coalescence of technological solutions and resilience thinking to solve cities’ ecological issues, is constantly gaining traction in urban planning research. However, green resilience often fails to take into account the socio-political and spatial processes that pertain to the exploitation of land for urban development particularly in the global South. Based on our latest research on two urban megaprojects, in Johor-Singapore (Malaysia) and Doha (Qatar), in this article we build a critique of green resilience and urbanism by leveraging research in the fields of environmental humanities and urban planning.
城市规划中气候变化话语的出现强调复原性是应对气候风险消减和适应以及城市健康等问题的关键概念。我们在本文中所称的“绿色复原力”,即为解决城市生态问题而出现的、技术解决方案与复原力思维的融合,在城市规划研究中越来越受欢迎。然而,绿色复原力往往没有考虑到与城市发展的土地开发有关的社会政治和空间过程,特别是在全球南方。基于我们对新山 - 新加坡(马来西亚)和多哈(卡塔尔)两个城市大型项目的最新研究,在本文中,我们利用环境人文学科和城市规划领域的研究,对绿色复原力和城市化进行了批判。
