以全球城市為核心所構成之城市區域,已成為全球化過程中,新興的學術及政策論辯焦點,不僅被認為是新自由主義政策論述及實踐的重要實驗場所,並且存在一個假說:這些區域內部的城市,經常以合作聯盟的方式,共同強化在全球當中的領域競爭力。本文透過基隆再生論述、實踐及其現實的觀察,討論分析新自由主義化具體實踐的真實樣貌。本文指出,基隆市,作為臺北都會區中一個曾經輝煌的港口城市,近年來陸續浮現功能萎縮、城市衰退及轉型的壓力,主要交織著三個結構性困境:(1) 後工業化時期,傳統單核心港埠經濟發展危機;(2) 臺北市及新北市的磁吸效果,以及基隆市依賴經濟體的制度慣性,造成不對等的城際網絡競爭;(3) 在雙北市的城際競爭中,基隆市採取同質的競爭策略,反而使其進一步陷入危機當中,進一步加速基隆市在城市區域中功能角色的邊緣化。顯然,新自由主義在城市區域的具體實踐,與理論上的說法有相當的落差。
Globalization not only focuses on a few important global cities that adapt to theglobal economic order, but also integrates cities located in close proximity to oneanother into global city-regions. City-regions are important sites of policyexperimentation involving new regulatory structures and governance spaces that arestrongly influenced by neoliberal policy discourses and practices. However, currentwork on city-regions is in danger of making a priori assumptions - coherentinter-urban networks and empowered regional governance entities must be created tostrengthen territorial competitiveness in the process of globalization. This paper thusaims to examine a realistic neo-liberal city-region by exploring the discourse andreality of regeneration in Keelung City. Once a thriving seaport in metropolitan Taipei,Keelung City today is shrinking, and its transformation is interweaved with threepredicaments. First, the traditional port-based economy suffered a crisis in thepost-industrial era. Second, the city faces problems of population and capital flight asa result of the magnetic attraction from central Metropolitan Taipei. Third, KeelungCity’s institutional inertia of following so-called neoliberal best practice strategiespotentially is accelerating its marginalization. Obviously, a considerable gap existsbetween the neoliberal theoretical script and the reality in city-regions.
