Abstract:

New town or new area construction is an important means to promote new rural industrialization and urbanization strategy, which promotes spatial and function restructuring. The production of space provides an important perspective for new town or new area study in period of social-economic transition. Pudong new district (PND) of Shanghai was chosen as the study area to build a theoretical analysis framework of power, capital, and production of space. On this basis, we analyzed the process and mechanism of production of space in PND. The results show that PND was undergoing the conceived space and industrial space production processes, and now it is turning into consumption space. Growth coalition between local government and enterprises plays a crucial role. The influence of residents on production of space gradually grows. Power promotes production of space via institutional environment, guidance of planning, infrastructure construction, and political elite influence. Domestic and foreign capital promotes production of space rapidly. Faced with the change of space requirement, enterprises and residents reshape conceived space which is mainly controlled by the government. All of these have changed the social and economic structure in PND.

Key words: production of space, growth coalition, power, capital, Pudong new district of Shanghai
