摘要

New sport stadia are always contentious projects but in small cities, the stakes may be proportionally higher. This study analyses the turbulence generated by a stadium’s approval and financing in Dunedin, New Zealand (2004-2017).It analyses: 1) the city’s deferment of advice and fundraising to a charitable trust, 2) the financing apparatus that used council-owned companies (COCs) to obfuscate costs, and 3) the resultant consequences including legal proceedings, COC reforms and company failures. It is suggested that the porousness of governance arrangements invited scrutiny of the links between the city and its COCs, and by extension induced a temporary halt to the softening public-private boundary.新建运动场馆项目总是备受争议，在小城市里，反对意见可能相应高些。本研究分析了新西兰2004年至2017年间批准并资助在达尼丁建设体育馆所引发的巨大反应。文章指出1）达尼丁市对建议反应迟缓，并向一家慈善信托公司筹集资金；2）筹资过程中使用了市政委员会下属公司，造成成本混乱；3）上述行为导致了司法干预、市政委员会下属公司改组和关停。文章指出，治理安排的漏洞招致对城市当局与下属公司关系的严查，进而短期影响了软化公私界限的进程。KEYWORDS: Stadium financing, governance, council controlled organisations, consultants, small cities, turbulenceAdditional informationDisclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.
