文化創意導向的都市再生概念已經被視為一種重要且便利之政策工具，用以再生所謂衰頹之城市或街區。它被期待可重塑在地社群、其生活空間及文化意象，以發展新的文化或創意經濟來面對城市在後工業下生產與消費之轉型。這樣的概念往往基於少數「全球北方」城市之政策論述與經驗，其似乎代表一種寰宇理性或新的治理典範，而必須被其他城市所追隨。然而近期研究缺乏提供足夠之討論，針對這些概念如何影響在地的再生政策、都市治理及治理性。特別目前研究也仍缺乏提供，其如何影響「全球南方」城市的案例考察與經驗研究。為改正以上欠缺，本文針對臺北文化創意導向都市再生之典範案例（迪化街區），提出一個批判性的檢視。其企圖解構公部門的軟都市主義都市再生議程，此議程期待動員創意及在地社群以發展特殊文化場域、創意氛圍及創意街區於臺北。本文主要聚焦此新治理議程於治理性建構、街區的實踐、文化及社會排斥等面向，並提出反思。

Cultural creativity-led regeneration has been adopted in regenerating ‘declining’ cities or neighborhoods worldwide. As is widely anticipated, the emergence of a ‘new’ cultural and creative economy can help to reshape local communities, their living spaces and cultural images, as well as effectively respond to cities’ post-industrial transformation of production and consumption. This concept and related regeneration agenda is based on the policy discourses or experiences from a few cities of ‘global north’ that appear to represent a cosmopolitan rationality or a new governing paradigm. However, exactly how this concept and related discourses influence the local regeneration policy, urban governance and governmentality has seldom been addressed in the literature. In particular, empirical studies of cases of global south (or non-western) cities are still lacking. Therefore, this study explores a ’model’ case of cultural creativity-led regeneration in the Dihua neighborhood of Taipei, Taiwan. It deconstructs the government’s ‘soft urbanism’ regeneration agenda that aims to activate creative and local community for developing a local cultural field, creative milieu, and creative neighborhoods in Taipei. Agenda-related issues of the ‘political rationality’ of governmentality, local practices, cultural and social exclusion are discussed as well.
