摘要

Urban studies is a multidisciplinary field with fuzzy boundaries, poor research funding outcomes and questionable application within practice. This paper quantitatively analyses urban policy and papers submitted to the State of Australian Cities conference to identify the contents and contours of urban scholarship and the degree to which scholarship aligns with priorities expressed in urban policy. The paper identifies five areas that constitute urban studies’ ‘regime of competence’; transport and land use; environment–society relations; demographic profiling; research methods and; politics, governance and planning process. Throughout, I find a strong focus on space and place and varying degrees of spatial determinism.城市研究是一个跨学科领域，其界线常常含糊，业内存在资助效率低和应用不恰当的问题。本文对“澳大利亚城市状况”会议收到的论文进行了定性分析，以期确定这一领域学术研究的内容和范围，以及学术研究与城市政策重点的符合程度。本文发现当前城市研究的五个热点领域是：政府能力、交通和土地使用、环境和社会的关系、人口状况、研究方法，以及政治、治理和规划过程。笔者发现空间和地点是大多数研究关注的焦点，整个领域中存在着不同程度的空间决定论。KEYWORDS: Urban studies, community of practice, research translation, academic discipline, textual analysisAdditional informationAcknowledgmentsI would like to acknowledge the useful feedback from participants at the 2017 State of Australian Cities conference and the anonymous reviewers who provided comments on an earlier version of this paper.
