Аннотация

Настоящее исследование обращается к истокам сингапурской программы развития прибрежных территорий, чтобы показать, как на протяжении трех десятилетий городское озеленение, девелопмент недвижимости и джентрификация нового строительства тесно переплетались между собой; работа завершается анализом планов по созданию «Большого Южного прибрежного района». Во всем мире городские прибрежные зоны были переориентированы с промышленных на рекреационные функции, способствуя переходу к экономике услуг и недвижимости. Детальные исторические исследования того, как городское озеленение содействует этой социоэкономической трансформации, чрезвычайно актуальны для современной критики водно-зеленой инфраструктуры, которая как инструмент планирования и дизайна основана на ассетизации природы. Развитие прибрежных территорий имело ключевое значение для городского обновления в Сингапуре. Благодаря масштабному переключению капитала оно позволило вывести высокоценную землю на рынки недвижимости, тем самым укрепив статус правительства как «государства-собственника» и ускорив экологическую джентрификацию. В статье показано, что прибрежные территории стали новым инструментом для предпринимательского управления и либерализации планирования. Подчеркивается, что внедрение водно-зеленой инфраструктуры, в котором Сингапур был пионером в 1990-х, определялось прежде всего политико-экономическими целями (регенерация городов, повышение класса недвижимости, диверсификация экономики), а не принципами устойчивого развития. Автор утверждает, что государственные власти ассетизировали воду, капитализируя ее уникальные биофизические свойства, чтобы открыть новые возможности для накопления капитала на прибрежных территориях и обеспечить метаболическую основу для финансиализации земли и недвижимости.
