摘要: 以列斐伏尔、哈维等人为代表的都市批判理论,揭示了资本主义空间生产与重构过程中的“某处”。都市作为资本积累得以展开的具体空间节点,同时具有潜在性与必要性、 抽象性与具体性、矛盾性与宿命性,因而构成一个根本性的矛盾场域。通过持续的都市化、 空间商品化与抽象空间生产,资本主义试图在此建立统治秩序,实现某种“积累乌托邦”。 然而,这一积累空间一旦被具体化,便必然转化为充满差异的、以使用价值为导向的矛 盾空间,进而导致资本统治的松动与危机。资本主义不断通过对空间的征服与重组来延 缓危机,却又因空间的辩证矛盾而陷入新的困境。基于此,当代城市更新应从单纯的资 本积累逻辑转向更包容、更注重差异化的空间重构实践,在对“空间强迫症”的超越尝 试中,探索社会空间未来的更多可能性。

Abstract: The Critical Urban Theory, represented by Lefebvre, Harvey, and others, elucidates the “somewhere” in the process of capitalist spatial production and reconstruction. As a concrete spatial node for capital accumulation, the city embodies potentiality and necessity, abstraction and concreteness, contradiction and fatalism, thus constituting a fundamental contradictory field. Through continuous urbanization, spatial commodification, and the production of abstract space, capitalism attempts to establish a dominant order and realize a certain “accumulation utopia”. However, once this accumulation space is materialized, it inevitably transforms into a contradictory space filled with differences and oriented towards use value, thereby leading to the loosening and crisis of capitalist domination. Capitalism continually delays crises by conquering and reorganizing space but becomes trapped in new dilemmas due to the dialectical contradictions of space. Based on this, contemporary urban renewal should shift from the mere logic of capital accumulation to more inclusive and differentiated spatial reconstruction practices, exploring more possibilities for the future of social space in an attempt to transcend “spatial obsessive-compulsive disorder”.
