摘要

数字平台与城市运转日益加深的嵌合推动着城市的平台化转型。在此背景下，平台城市主义这一新兴概念应运而生，相关话题受到“数字转向”的西方人文地理学和城市研究的关注。本文对平台城市主义的内涵和主要内容进行了归纳总结，并提出了对未来国内研究的展望。总体而言，平台城市主义强调平台与城市构成了相互紧密联系的嵌合共生体关系，并主要包括两大方面的内容:①政治经济学视角的平台城市主义研究。这些研究既关注技术资本主导下城市社会空间活动的平台化及其问题，又强调多元行动者可以结合平台的运作特性加以应对；②日常生活空间视角的平台城市主义研究。这些研究重点探讨居民在城市日常生活空间中的平台化社交联系和流动性，揭示其具有的复杂动态以及人们从中获得的多元体验和价值。可见，西方平台城市主义研究的关键，在于把握平台中介作用下的城市社会空间活动的过程、意义及影响。中国城市的平台化进程正处于快速推进的阶段，然而，国内已有的相关研究侧重于共性总结和规律探索，忽视了平台与城市运转之间关系的复杂性以及平台的非经济价值。因此，通过借鉴西方平台城市主义研究的成果，国内人文地理学可以更好地探索有中国特色的平台城市现象及议题。

Abstract

This paper outlines the definition of platform urbanism and main research foci around this conception, and then suggests future directions of platform city studies in the Chinese context on the basis of a review of existing Anglophone literature on the digital-urban interfaces. The idea of platform urbanism emphasizes that the interaction of platform and city assembles a platform ecosystem. The research of platform urbanism from the perspective of political economy not only focuses on the platformization of urban social activities and the related problems caused by the dominance of technological capital, but also emphasizes the agencies of digital platforms, public authorities and users co-constitute the operation of platforms in urban lives. The research of platform urbanism from the ‘digital mundane' perspective highlights the complex dynamics, diverse experiences and values embedded in the daily encounters with digital platforms and their services. Thus, the key insight of the platform urbanism approach offers a new scope to understand the process of digitally mediated urban spatialities and its socio-material consequences. The platformization of cities in China is in the stage of rapid progress. However, current ICT studies developed by Chinese geographers overwhelmingly adopt a technological solutionism view, ignoring the nuanced interactions of platform and city. This progress report suggests that adopting platform urbanism approach can offer Chinese human geographical studies a more comprehensive way to understand the development of platform cities in China.
