解讀當代都會之邊緣城市地景－以台北都會區東側邊緣為例

Abstract

空間的重組與城市化歷程可說是資本主義發展和晚近全球化過程中的一個核心問題。以台北都會東緣的南港、內湖與汐止地區為例觀察，其在台北都會區擴張與蔓延的歷程中逐漸併入城鄉邊界地帶，並且於高速公路交流道附近陸續出現新興科技廠辦，伴隨著原有老舊聚落市街、違章工廠、新開發的郊區住宅社區及倉儲式賣場等混雜的空間形態，形成一個與美國大洛杉磯都會圈的都市蔓延類型－邊緣城市相仿的新興衛星城鎮現象和邊緣城市特有的地景表徵。 本研究目的主要是借用邊緣城市的概念閱讀台北都會之邊緣城市地景，企圖檢證其邊緣城市的表徵性格，探究台北都會區東側邊緣的城鎮發展的脈絡與成因，以及其對邊城居民生活型態造成的影響。經驗研究結果發現台北都會區東側邊緣地景，已然開始浮現都會區域、網絡社會、權力地景與文化雜燴的後現代性，此意味著台北都會正由傳統工商城市機能的單核心轉向融入新興科技經貿機能的多核心都市空間結構，裂碎地景空間格局促使人們日常生活經驗轉變成為點與點間的流動狀態，失靈的空間治理體制造成公共性節點社會互動的淪喪，甚至導致越來越多的日常生活經驗被迫分派到虛擬的網路空間與商品化的各式消費空間場域中，同時金權集團和社區影子政府則趁機刮分與壟斷空間管理權力。因應城市區域這種新集居形式帶來的社會文化與自然環境問題，現有城鄉分離的空間政策、治理思維與規劃管理體系迫切需要重新定義，轉型為城鄉一體、建構區域化地方空間治理的網絡系統，串聯碎裂化的社會與自然環境，營造永續經營的生態城市社區，為邊緣城市帶來健康活力的社會生活型態。

The spatial restructure and urbanization are the focal problems in the development of capitalism and global transformation lately. Taking the eastern fringe of Taipei metropolis--- Neihu, Nangang and Sijhih Districts for example, these areas are gradually merged into urban-rural interface in the process of urban sprawl, and many high-tech office towers appeared around the freeway system, together with the local settlements, illegal factories, newly-developed suburban communities and warehouse-like stores, etc. These urban landscape elements form the specific phenomenon represented in many emerging satellite towns which is just similar with the case of Great Los Angeles urban sprawl－edge city. The main goal of this research is to apply the idea of “edge city” to reading the cityscape of Taipei metropolis fringe, attempts to inspect its characters of edge city, and inquires into the context and composition of its development and the impacts on the dwellers' everyday life. This empirical study shows that the post modernity such as “urban region”, “network society”, “power landscape”, and “culture hybrid”, have been appeared on the eastern fringe of Metropolitan Taipei. It means the structure of Taipei Metropolis is transforming from mono-nuclei traditional industrial-urban structure to the poly-nuclei knowledge-oriented urban economic structure, the fragmented landscape patterns have made everyday life experiences turn into highly mobile movements between points, the failed spatial governance system cause the lost social interactions in the public nodes, even make more and more everyday life experiences forcibly distribute into cyberspace and all kinds of consumption space. Meanwhile, syndicates and community shadow governments divvy and monopolize the spatial managing power. Due to the social, cultural and natural environmental problems caused by the new settlement form of city region, the existing dual spatial policy, managing thought and planning system in Taiwan need to be redefined, and changed into urban- rural united system. Besides, we also need to construct the networks of regionalized local spatial governance for connecting the fragmented social and natural environment toward the sustainable eco-urban community and the healthy lifestyle in edge city.
